Everybody loves a bit of Christmas pud, don't they?
This was quite an easy one to make but a lot of fun
Dies used: Sizzix Framelits circles #657551, Sizzix Scalloped circles #657552, Christmas Tree leaves – brand unknown, Berries from Sizzix Holly & Berry set #657941.
Corners rounded with my favourite corner punch.
Embossing Folder: Cuttlebug A2 embossing folder D’Vine Swirl #37-1142
The greeting was made using a Dymo tape machine and clear Dymo tape.
I enjoyed making this card – a bit fiddly but the result was worth it.
I embossed a card blank using my bricks embossing folder. I embossed the door using Sizzix Textured Impressions Door #658430, on another piece of card and trimmed it to size. The wreath was made from the small Christmas tree die. Gold brads and a little red ribbon completed the card.
As my regular readers know, I am a keen amateur ballroom and Latin dancer. As a result of my hobby , I have a lot of “dancey” friends, so it only seems right to have a dance themed Christmas card.
I used a number of dies from different sets to create this card:
Dancers: Xcut Build a Scene Ballroom #XCU503125; Shape cut into card blank: Sizzix thinlits plus, Card, Diorama Gatefold #660845; Leaves: Christmas tree set, brand unknown.
I have already made a fair number of Christmas cards – I like to be ahead of the game if I can! Over the next few posts I shall share my makes.
This card was again made with the half cut. I like the way the Christmas tree looks with this technique.
The tree was decorated with self adhesive pearls and the corners rounded with my “favourite” corner punch.
I made this for a guitar mad friend.
I am a big fan of the half cut (see here for a little tutorial). It gives added dimension and is a much under rated technique.
The guitars were cut from patterned paper using Yvonne Creations Guitar die #CDD10023. The front was embossed with a circle embossing folder.
I made this for a friend’s son, who loves football.
The card blank is embossed with a happy birthday embossing folder.
