Christmas - Day 2

Here are some more cards made as samples for the 1st of our Christmas classes for this year.

As I mentioned yesterday our main stamp set was Beautiful Blizzard.

The Poppy Parade above was a very simple one as all I did was to die cut the Blizzard Thinlits 

and fixed it using dimensionals to raise it.

A simple Merry was also die cut but this time from the Merry Christmas Thinlits.  

I then glued ti onto a White scrap of paper then, leaving a good sized border, fussy cut around it.

This one above is another simple one. I embossed the Balmy Blue using the lovely 

Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder. I had a scrap of White on my desk 

so stamped the snowflakes from the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set.

This time in Silver foiled Card I die cut the Happy Christmas from the Merry Christmas Thinlits again. 

This time, I Die cut the Blizzard out of Balmy Blue cardstock and using some of the snoeflakes only,

fixed them in the centres only using Tombow glue.

I finished them off by adding Rhinestones and a gotgeous message.

As I said yesterday, the messages in this stamp set are really lovely. 

Weekly Inspiration - Christmas

Christmas

Yes, it's that time again when we start making cards a plenty for Christmas.

It really is the most wonderful time of the year for me as I notice that 

everyone is happy and friendly with each other.

Love it!

Anyway, Cary and I have been super busy over the last few weeks/months and we held our first Christmas classes over 2 weekends as so many wanted to join us.

This week I shall be showing you some of the cards that I made as samples to show everyone.

We used the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set along with the coordinating Blizzard thinlits. 

This 1st one is a Smoky Slate mat on a Night of Navy mat which is fixed to one of the lovely Silver edged Cards and matching envelopes.

I stamped the 'clouds' (which look like a dragon to me) then using Versamark, and White embossing powder, heat set to complete this.

We also used Spirited Snowmen stamp set. 

This time I used Coastal Cabana on Whisper White and again onto the 

Silver Edged cards and envelopes. 

I LOVE the messages on this one. Yes, I'm a romantic at heart!

 

I cut a few mats and die cut them with the Blizzard Thinlit then used the snowflakes on several different cards but used the remainder of the mat on this one here.

A simple Merry using the Merry Christmas Thinlits for the message finishes this one off.

Wonderful Moments - Day 5

This is the last card for me this week and as such 

is the ever hopeful result of a happy marriage.

'A Little Miracle' 

This time I have used Whisper White and Poppy Parade cardstock and Ink pad.

I also added one of the amazingly gorgeous pieces of die cut paper

from the Delightfully Detailed Die Cut Papers.

I coloured once again with the Aqua brush using Poppy Parade, Pretty Pink and Soft Suede Ink pads.

I did emboss the red mat using Polka Dot Basics TIEF embossing folder but this isn't essential.

A simple message again from the stamp set to finish off the last card this week. 

Thank you once again for stopping by this week.

I do hope that I have given you some inspiration to make your own cards.

Wonderful Moments - Day 4

This time it is the wedding day card that I made with the set.

Very similar to yesterday's card but this time just the bride on her own.

 'Dream Come True' 

The same image as yesterday but completed this time with a 'veil'.

As soon as I saw this lovely ribbon I remembered a veil that I made for my Godson's mum on her wedding day many years ago. To top it off. it actually snowed as they left the church!

It is Polka Dot Tulle ribbon. Perfect!

I joined 3 small strips of ribbon using Clear dots and trimmed around the top shaping it to the 

bride's head.

I used the Layering Squares and Layering Circles for the Whisper White and Daffodil Delight mats.

A little more of the ribbon across the front of the card mat and a 

few Rhinestones to embellish the card.

Sorry about this picture. It really didn't come out at all well!

Wonderful Moments

Following on from yesterday's card, today is the next step for a lady, the Engagement.
This time I made an vertical Easel card.

 'She said Yes!'
I have used Night of Navy and Whisper White card and Ink pad this time.
I love the simplicity of the easy colours.

I used the Darling Label punch for the smaller messages.
If you don't have this punch, the result can be made very easily by cutting a square
and using a 1/2" circle punch snipping out the corners.
This gives a really lovely effect.

I coloured the image in using an Aqua brush marker using Flirty Flamingo,
Pretty Pink, Crumb Cake and Night of Navy with a tiny touch of
Poppy Parade for the shoes.

A simple message again from the stamp set, completes this card.
What's next? Please pop by tomorrow to see.
