CCT Technique Challenge

Today's challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown is hosted by Tanja.

 

 

 

Both wet or dry embossing on vellum are fine. I have gone for dry embossing with SU's Northern Flurry embossing folder. I combined my piece of vellum with patterned paper that I have stamped. I also trapped a few sequins between the layers and embellished the snowflakes with rhinestones.

 

I do hope that you will share your embossed vellum festive creations with us. The DT really enjoy and appreciate your Christmas cards, April x





52 C.C.T. Theme Challenge

The challenge over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown this week is to make a card using the theme of bells.


                                    

The retired Stampin' Up set Bells and Boughs is perfect for this challenge and I decided to make a suitably vintage style card to complement these lovely stamps. I have used a Crumb Cake card base with the Thinlit Circle Card die. I coloured the bell design with markers and added champagne Glimmer Paper stars and rhinestones coloured with Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities. I do hope that you like my card and that you will join us over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown for lots of festive inspiration! April x

Thank You Cards

 

Loving the sparkly In-Colour sequins! They are perfect for adding a bit of bling to your card-making. As the summer term draws to a close, I have been making thank you cards. This one uses the gorgeous new stamp set, Hello Darling (the thank you stamp is from the Everyday Occasions kit).

 

Here are two more! The card on the left uses a couple of the new In-Colours - Lost Lagoon and Hello Honey. The card on the right was made using the wonderful Thinlit Circle Card.

 

I had a great time last night at the 'Love your Envelope Punch Board' workshop. Here are the gift bags we made.

 

Here is some crafting in action...
