It seems I have been well and truly bitten by not only the card making bug, but most specifically the Christmas Card making bug. I now have about 5 times the number of Christmas Cards I will need for my list, but that's ok since I will be selling cards for Children in Need in November. I guess I can carry on making more then!
These are two that I have done over the last few days.
Marble ink backed Card-io tree with festive bouquet |
This card was made using a variety of Card-io / Majestix stamps including the Festive Bouquet and the Celebratrees set. The 'garland' was stamped in versamark and embossed in gold glitter powder. I used versacolour inks for the tree components. If you are interested I can detail which colours, but I don't want to bore you :)
I distressed the top layer with denim blue distress ink. The red layer is a textured paper with almost a faux leather appearance. The bottom layer was made using the My Craft Studio marbling inks on non-coated paper. The Happy Christmas is a peel off.

This next card just sort of fell together during a play I was having with my new nesties dies.
Glitter Girls Joy, Wow, Nancy Watt Paper & Nesties |
The two light blue shapes were made by first embossing the paper with a snowflake embossing folder using the Cuttlebug. Then, with the Peony Nestabilities dies from Spellbinders, I cut and embossed the shapes. I sanded the coredinations paper to bring out the snowflakes, and dressed them a bit with the clear wink of stella pen. The large white snowflake was also made with a Spellbinders die, but was cut out of Centura Pearl cardstock. The backing paper I used is one of Nancy Watt's lovely designs. Finally, I thought the peel off border at the top gave it a nice touch.
As usual, feedback is greatly appreciated so I know what works and what doesn't. Because I would actually like to sell some of the cards for charity, it would help to get an idea of which designs 'people' like.
Anyway, I really should be getting to sleep, so I will end for now. I hope you are enjoying my creations.
Happy Crafting
