More Christmas Cards!

Here are my final lot of Christmas cards.......with the robin on the mushrooms being my favourite card this year. The robin is a Little Claire stamp, the mushrooms are dylusions coloured with distress inks, perfect pearls and some glitter, and the snowflakes are a Tim Holtz stamp embossed with white embossing powder and the robin was coloured with distress inks too....using a cut n dry nib; and little bit of fake snowy stuff that I forget the name of.

The penguin card is using distress stains and inks, I forget which set those stamps are from, and I went round the edge with perfect pearls.

The next one I created a background with gold paint and I can't remember if it was metallic glaze of shimmer mod podge, then I stamped the snowflakes and added some ribbon and cut the greeting out using a nestability.

The final one was simply a shape cut out on the cricut and some background paper, another snowflake with glitter on and a greeting.

Bye Bye!

Well we said goodbye to our manager at work today......here is the leaving card I made......it is the biggest card I have ever made.......bit of a challenge working out how to fill the space. Luckily distress inks save the day as usual.....and I cut out some letters on the cricut and stamped a few cats.....I think those ones a Lindsay Mason stamps.....

Christmas cards.....

 Here are some more Christmas cards....I really love all the ones I've done with my new Cricut cartridge, although sometimes it can be fiddly to cut all the parts out and stick them together, the finished articles look really cute! The background paper is from Graphic 45 Nutcracker Sweet collection.

For this one I was trying to go for the keep it simple but I struggle where to stop hehe! The tree is from a set of trees I think it might be Creative Expressions not quite sure tho..... I stamped the Hero Arts greeting on acetate and drew on the baubles on the tree and coloured with distress stickles.

I bought some pre cut out trees and used them here. Coloured with silver paint, a kind of brass type paint that I swooshed a bit to get a pattern and then crackle paint. Background paper is Graphic 45 again and the greeting is from Craftwork cards.







This one is a lamp post stamp from Tim Holtz SA and the houses are from the Hobby Art scene it coastal set. Made them look snowy with paint and gesso and used a bit of picket fence distress stain and some more paint for the snow on the ground. Stamped the hero arts greeting with gold paint and put some glitter round the edge....

I got a new Cricut cartridge Winter Frolic and this is the first card I've made using it.....I've cut out loads of shapes to use but just got to get round to using them......anyway I just distress inked the background snowflake paper and then stuck down the greeting and little robin in a blue and silver theme......

I made these two little trees for my niece and nephew to decorate....

Here are two more cards......first a brayering attempt.....I got the sky a bit too blue but I hand drew the scarecrow and field of corn which I was quite pleased with. The second was for my sister's 40th and I cut the numbers out of glitter card on the cricut, put it on an embossed background also on glitter card and then behind that I made an alcohol ink background on glossy card
