Anniversary card

Hello I finished off another card this afternoon using a card all scraps, except for the stamp. My friend Conny sent me some of these cute Forever Friends stamped images a while back and I thought it would be nice on an anniversary card. Hope you like it!

Easel Christmas Card

Hello here is a card I made and finished today it took a while as I've had to do it in bits and pieces due to lack of time! I like Easel cards so I used my Cricut to make this one using scalloped circles from Art Philosophy. I cut a circle with a Christmas tree aperture cut out from Art Philosophy as well and used an adhesive sheet with green glitter on top, I added some rhinestones to the tree. I cut smaller scalloped ovals and stamped my sentiment, hope you like my card : )

13th anniversary

Hello I have a page that I made today on our recent anniversary, I haven't done any scrapbooking in a while as I've been getting Christmas things done but I was looking forward to scrapbooking these photos. I started with a pink cardstock base then added some hearts pink paper. I cut 2 borders in pink from Artbooking then added 2 more patterned borders from my stash. I added a heart cut from Art Philosophy around the number 13. I cut the title from Chalkboard Fonts and the butterfly from Artiste. I added various stickers and a little spinning embellishment. I did a strip of journaling on the computer. I love these photos as Greg made such a beautiful cake I love how proud he looks but then I am very proud of him too!

Snowman card

Hello everyone Happy Thursday I have another Christmas card to show you I don't have many more to do now, so I may take a break for a bit and do some scrapbooking, we'll see.

This one I really liked how it turned out. I used a blue card and then some snowman patterned paper. I cut a fancy oval from some spotty paper from my Elegant Edges cartridge. I cut a scalloped oval in a scrap of blue star paper I had from the same cartridge. The little banner is cut from Artiste and stamped and the Snowman is cut from my Artbooking cartridge (he's so cute). I just went around his hat and scarf with a sparkly glitter pen. Hope you enjoy my card.

Reindeer card

Hello hope you are having a nice Wednesday, I made this card today using a few of my Cricut Cartridges. For the card I used my Artiste cartridge. I cut the layers and the tree branch from Art Philosophy and the reindeer was from the Winter Wonderland cartridge. I stamped a greeting at the bottom and added some tinsel around the reindeer's neck and sequins have made a comeback in the papercrafting world so I dug out my sequins and added them to the branch. Hope you like my card.

Joy fold card

Hello another card I made today, this one is a "joy fold" card, a new one I thought I would try. It's not hard to do and I found the tutorial on YouTube. I just used red card and red snowflake paper. I punched a holly border on silver glitter paper. I cut the holly from the Winter Wonderland cartridge in layers. I cut out 2 circles one scalloped in green and a plain circle in white and stamped my greeting. I also stamped a greeting inside.

Christmas card for Greg

Hi hope you are having a nice Tuesday it's cold and dull here and they say maybe some snowflakes later! Don't like that, but lucky it's warm indoors. I made this card today for Greg for Christmas, I think it turned out very cute. I used a blue card and then a snowy background paper. I cut a scalloped circle from Art Philosophy and stamped my greeting. I also stamped the snowman and coloured him in and cut him out. I cut my branch from my Serenade cartridge and also stamped the little bird onto the blue and also stamped him on white and cut out his wing and hat and coloured those in. I added some snowflakes and cut out my "snow" out of white felt. Hope you like it, I'm hoping Greg loves it too : )

Merry Fishmas

Hi Happy Friday, I have a card today to show you that I just finished off today. I made this for my brother who loves to go fishing so I combined a fishing and Christmas card in one! I made a square card from kraft cardstock using Art Philosophy and then a scalloped square layer from the same cartridge. I cut the fish in 2 layers from Create a Critter and then the label on the bottom was from George and Basic Shapes. I printed out my sentiment "Merry Fishmas" on the computer. I added a little felt Santa hat, very cute isn't it? Have a nice weekend.

Jingle

Hi again, the sun has come out now it's nice, it's been raining and cold most of the day. So I made a card using a new cartridge, Greg bought me the Anna Griffin Winter Wonderland cartridge for our anniversary so I was eager to try it out. There are some lovely images on there and I loved the "Jingle" sentiment. So I started with a red card, then a green layer which I embossed with my Candy cane folder. I cut out another layer in music paper. I added a red scalloped circle and a sticky border. I cut out the Jingle word in 3 layers and glued them all together. I added a real little jingle bell with some bakers twine so it really does jingle! I then added a silver gemstone to the "I". Hope you like my card.

Dear Santa..I've been nice..or naughty?

Hi everyone here is a card I made a week or so ago I just haven't got around to putting on here till today : ). I bought the Dear Santa stamp for another reason but I decided to use it on this card too, it turned out cute. I guess there are a few naughty people around who could get the naughty box ticked including our canine friend Little Miss Ivy.  I  used a holly border punch for the green strip of paper and some Christmassy ribbon. I used my Cricut A Quilted Christmas to cut out my jolly Santa. Hope you like my card.

My first knitted toy - Rudolph the red nosed reindeer

Hello everyone, I am really pleased to present a knitted version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, I think he turned out so cute and I'm very proud of him. It was my first toy I've knitted and sometimes challenging but I persevered and I got a great result, which proves you should never give up! Chockie bear and Rudolph are best mates now as you can see, I think I'll leave Rudolph sitting there until it's time to put up our little Christmas tree. My wonderful Greg helped me put him all together, what a man, big hugs to him.Hope you like my little reindeer.

Surprise inside Christmas Card

Hello, happy weekend, hope you are enjoying your Sunday (or soon Monday in Australia). I haven't done any papercrafting for a bit, I've been using my spare time to do my knitting, I've finished my reindeer, just have to put him together, so today I've been able to do a Christmas card, I realised I had better get a move on with them. I bought this stamp set a while ago from Michael's it was so cute and then the other day I had a 50% off coupon so I got the matching honeycomb paper you need to go with this set. I watched a YouTube video on how to do it as it takes a bit of thinking and working out where to stamp etc on the inside of the card. I cut my card then scored 2 score lines in the middle to make a small spine. I stamped my snowman then stamped my bauble onto the honeycomb paper pad and cut this out, then it gets glued. when the card is opened the honeycomb opens up and you have a 3D bauble, very cute. I coloured in my snowman and stamped part of my sentiment. For the outisde I did a spotty layer, then cut a green patterned flower shape and embossed a red circle with my snowflake embossing folder. I stamped my snowman and coloured him in and cut him out. I stamped the first part of my greeting and layered this onto some red and the card was done I was really happy with this, a very cute card.
