Flying in a Winter wonderland

Flying in a Winter wonderland

Used this lovely Winter fairy digi stamp for another Christmas card. I was trying to use up some scraps from previous cards in colours I don’t use so much.

I made the snowflake paper for a challenge and wanted to use it up. The light blue card was scraps. The card, image, sentiment and snowflakes are all different shapes to fit the challenges.

I coloured the Winter fairy digi with Promarkers and added some glitter using stickles. I stamped the LOTV sentiment and mounted it on a snowflake punched from scrap glittery blue card.

I made the snowflakes by punching 4 from green, rust and light blue slitter scrap paper. I also used disterss inks and a watercolour brush on white scrap paper and used that for the last snowflakes. I layered the snowflakes and added the blue embellishment from stash (kept forgetting I had them!).

I embossed the thin light blue scrap paper with snowflakes and highlighted with blue ink. I used a ribbon punch and threaded some scrap ribbon through. I added faux stitching with a Promarker and more embellishments.

Another Christmas card which is robintastic!!

I made the snowflake background paper for the lowest layer using Craft Artist and colour matched them to the colours for the Crafy Chick challenge.

The other papers.,tag and robin were all freebies with a magazine. I used a light green gem brad to attch the tag to the card.

A warm and cosy Christmas card.

I used an LOTV die cut and sentiment. This is the ultimate warm and cosy picture!!

I made the snowflake embellishment by punching two snowflakes on matching papers. I decorated it with glitter glue and added the gems.
I cut and offset the circles abd I embossed the top one with a swirl pattern and highlighted it with red distress ink.

The LOTV sentiment is ‘warmest thoughts and best wishes’. I used a MS punch on the horizontal paper.

I thought I’d go for something a bit simpler today!

The paper was made using Craft Artist. The sentiment was a freebie and I added a couple of buttons from my stash. I added some red and white stickles to the LOTV die cut.

I decided to use these cute bears and attempt to get all 4 colours for a challenge into my card. Not a combination I would have tried so it was a real challenge!
I used colour picker on Craft Artist to make some matching papers to the inspiration photo and added the purple background paper from stash.

I used a lovely LOTV die ctu but recoloured some sections to match the colour scheme and added some sky blue stickles.

I made my snowflake embellishments. The central snowflake was created on Craft artist and printed. Then I used my snowflake punh on it, some lilac glittery paper and some coral paper. I then layered them at angles.

I used Craft Artist software to match the colours in the inspiration photo for the colour create challenge and then printed the papers.

I used a LOTV die cut and sentiment but recoloured to get a better match for the colours I wanted.

I used my snowflake punch again to cut snowflakes in shiny grey and glittery lilac paper. I then curled them slightly, layered them at an angle and stuck a lilac gem in the middle.

Another Christmas card using a beautiful LOTV die cut with cute penguins holding their Let It Snow banner (can’t afford to get many stamps so these die cuts are great!) and LOTV Let It Snow sentiment stamped in red distress ink. I used sticky pearls for snowflakes and highlighted the snow and snowflakes on the sentiment with white stickles.

I’ve made my first snowflake embellishments using a snowflake punch on some shiny and frosted cards together. I took some left over flower pins from my wedding (from Michael Dark) and cut off the heads to fix to the middle of the snowflakes using glossy accents.
I also used left overorganza ribbon from the wedding.
