It is still me!
Panic Not You are in the right Place. I have had a face lift to celebrate my 4 yrs of blogging!!
Sarn threw rather a curved ball at us for the Rudolph challenge this month as she wanted not one but two cards entered.
Now I don 't normally do two's of anything only those darn/delightful Christmas Elves.
I have an order for another one this yr. already. Grrrr!
This required military precision so off to my newly sorted Christmas drawer I went and found a topper sheet by Kanban called Golden Christmas Trees.
These are gold foiled images which went perfectly
with the 12cm x 12cm cream card blanks from my stash.
Spellbinders Majestic Elements die S4-383
Sizzix Circles 657552 die.
White glitter card from stash using Sizzix die to cut.
All the sentiments were cut from old received cards backed with card from stash.
As there were 6 images on the card you can see 2 very quickly became Six!
I did in the end have fun by seeing how many variations I could come up with.
Below shows just 3 of the cards inserts that I made using more dies
Spellbinders Lable 4 & Deckled Rectangles S4-202
and old recycled cards.
I also used a mini snowflake & Christmas tree punch from the borders
left on the Kanban card. Waste not want not!
Entering into the following:
Rudolph Day: Make 2 cards this time.
Creative Craft World: Beat the rush.

Well hello there ValeryAnne (aka Mrs A). I'm diggin' your new wall paper! And I'm diggin' these pretty cards...ALL SIX OF THEM! I'm pleased my outstanding frog makes you smile by the way. I'm going for a quick wander through some of your posts that I missed and I might sneak in a comment or two along the way. Hugs, Lesley
ReplyDeleteMrs. A - first, congrats on 4 years of blogging, and the celebratory "facelift" is gorgeous! The butterflies, bird cages, flowers and tendrils: how pretty and delicate they are. Speaking of gorgeous: your set of Christmas cards! The images and frames you've created for each have me swooning! Beautifully crafted! Now, with all this Christmas inspiration, I think you should check out the challenges over at Merry Monday and Festive Friday. I know you'd create amazing entries for both - and your Christmas stash will grow...and grow...and grow. I need to play over at those sites as well, and plan to do so, once I'm finished up with the 51 Valentine cards! So glad you visited my blog; your comments make me smile! Hugs~c
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful Mrs A, love the trees and the fabby new look on your blog.
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs
