Copper snowflakes

This is a card I made for a special friend. I started with a background made with Paper Artsy Infusions.

I added some snowflakes embossed in copper EP and then mounted the panel behind a die cut square aperture. I added die cut snowflakes and a sentiment using a copper coloured pearl card.

Recycling Christmas cards

Although it is lovely making completely hand made cards, I do feel guilty about the lovely cards we get sent that just go into the recycling. This year I have made a couple of cards using cards we were sent last Christmas. I have combined them with die cuts and a stamped sentiments.

The first design used a mixture of Marianne, Memory Box and Avery Ellle dies and a Stampin' Up Embossing folder.

This cards uses Crafters Companion and Memory Box dies and a Kaisercraft sentiment.

I know these are very simple designs, but it feels right to try and save some of these lovely cards we have been sent and to give them a new lease of life.

December is here!

I seem to have been AWOL from my blog for absolutely ages. Life is mad! Anyway, with Christmas looming like an express train, I decided I better get on with some festive posts! I have been making some batches of simple cards.

This card is pretty flat ideal for posting.

Stamps: My Favourite Things Snowflake Flurry; WPlus9 sentiment
Dies: WPlus9
Inks: Distress Inks - too many to mention!
Other: White embossing powder

Hope your own plans are on track for getting organised for Christmas
