Finally, Christmas cards

Well, that’s not bad, it’s only taken me 6 weeks to catch up!

The base for the tree was cut from red card using Sizzix die (framelits with stamps) #658276 Merry Christmas tree

I had great fun playing with the buttons . . . . . . .

Thank you time again – part 1

Every year I make thank you cards & gifts for our dance teachers and their assistants.  This year I have had extra to do as we took an extra dance course.

                                                             
These two cards were made using the Sizzix Sizzlits Sewing Machine & Bobbins die (#658461) and the embossing folder Sewing & Measuring Tape Set (#657671).  The sewing machines were coloured with Promarkers and the greeting was computer generated.  The greeting was edged with my fake stitching tool.

The rosette was made using various size circles, die cut from gauze paper using the Sizzix Framelits Circles (#657551).  The frill was cut with the Sizzix decorative strip die – pleated ruffle, 3d (658974).  The stamp is from Docrafts mini clear stamp; Forever Friends “Fabulous” (#FFS907120).  The bear was coloured with Promarkers.

Thinking of you

I wanted to let friends know that I was thinking of them.  I wanted a cheerful (in an understated way) card.  I chose my colours carefully and was pleased with the result.

Parchment anniversary

Friends of mine celebrated their anniversary, the day before they came to NL to celebrate our anniversary.  I wanted to make another parchment card (I did tell you that I like working with parchment).  I found the basis for the design in one of my craft magazines, changed it to what I wanted and this is what the finished card looked like.

The addition of the washi tape along the top completed the card.
