Some Christmas Create a Cards

Morning all :)

I am back today to share a couple of samples I have done using the Crafter's Companion Christmas Create a Card dies.

This card uses the 5 x 5 Enchanted Reindeer and the Happy Holidays 5 x 2 sentiment die.  I have used kraft card with cream and also used one of the embossing folders from the Nordic range (Reindeer Forest)

This is an easel card using the Deck the Halls die.  I cut it out once in dark blue and then again in some white card that I had covered with Stick It.  I cut the baubles out and then covered them with glitter and layered them on the blue piece.  I also did a glittery frame.  On the base of the easel, although you can't really see it here, I used the die to emboss only and then used a Sentimentals stamp to make a stopper.

This is a box decorated with the Timeless Wreath die on cream card and stencilled through with some red ink. On the top of the box I used the smaller Merry Christmas sentiment die.  This is a good sized box that would make any gift you were giving just that little bit more special.

I have made lots of Christmas cards/projects for samples this year but I really need to make a start on my own, otherwise it'll be the usual mad rush to try and finish them in time :)  

Back soon

September is here :)

Hi everyone in blogland :)

Well ikt's hard to believe that September is here and as I write this it seems that Autumn is already making an appearance as it's pouring with rain!  However, that doesn't matter as I have lots and lots to do in my craftroom.

I have been very busy over the past few weeks and am very happy to say that I am now an accredited demonstrator for Crafter's Companion, so I am looking forward to getting to demo lots of their fab products as soon as they need me.

I am going to share a few samples today that I have made for the CC shows on Hochanda recently.

These are from the Die'sire everyday fancy edge'ables large format range.  These dies are 7.5 inches across so great for making those larger statement cards and projects

This is using the beautiful Papillon on Centura Pearl card stock to make a triple step card.  I love plain white with just a hint of colour - this time I used a peachy colour and added one of the only words dies

This uses Amour and some of Sara's Together Forever range papers to make a cream and gold card that would make a lovely wedding card.  To make this easel card I cut the edge'able twice.  Once at the top of the front piece and then on another piece of card to be used as the stopper. 

Finally I have used the Parisian to do a diorama type card using it to cut the side pieces and the bottom of the aperture too.

I hope you love these dies as much as I do as there is so much you can do with them
