Santa's Tailors Shop - 2 Cards

How are you? Thanks for stopping by to read my blog.
I have two cards to share that are similar but different - a reoccurring theme here ... 2 cards that are similar but different!

Here is the first card:

This is another of those great Cottage Cuts dies - I just love the little Santa Suit hanging out on the sign - it's just so cute! I used some Kaiser craft vanilla weave card stock for the base of my card. I think the 6 x 6 paper pad I used was Bo Bunny again. The bow is a Sue Wilson filigree bow die. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I used Spellbinders Floral ovals in Scarlet weave card stock and then used the same die on a white piece of card stock, used a pencil to trace the shape and then fussy cut it out and stamped it with Antique linen distressed ink pad.

I used a JustRite stamp and a Tuxedo Black ink pad by memento, with another touch of antique linen








Here is card #2:

Using the same idea, I cut out the backing in a Metallic card stock by American American crafts and a couple of pieces of Polka Dot ribbon that I bought from Spotlight!

Just like card #1, I used an Obsession Impression die to make the trees and a white paint pen gave the snow look, with a touch of Stickles Crystal Glitter.
Also Copics W1 & W3 to add shadow effects.



















Here are the main ingredients I used to make these two cards:

Kaisercraft Weave Cardstock - Vanila	KaiserCraft Scarlet Weave Card Stock	American Crafts Christmas Glitter 12X12	Bo Bunny Silver and Gold 6 x 6 Paper Pad	Bo Bunny Father Christmas Collection 6 x 6 Paper Pad

Jingle Bells - Santa's Sleigh rides - 2 cards

Hello my Blogging family and friends.How are you? It was World Card Making Day on Saturday and there have been some amazing cards shown on blogs from people all over the globe. I spent some time over the weekend in my craft room - just loving it. Today was a Holiday here in NSW - Labour day bank holiday - so guess where I was AGAIN! Yay! I made a couple of Birthday cards as we have our two favourite girls celebrating their Birthday whilst I am away overseas. Tiffany and Marley. I'll show you Marley's card after her Birthday on 14th October.

Today I have a couple of Santa's Sleigh Cards ... I'll show you each in turn ....

Card # 1 ......

I used a Bo Bunny 6 x 6 pad as the first mat onto which I used a Grand scalloped Spellbinders die to cut the shape out of white card stock which I inked with an Antique Lines distress ink pad. I used the Fleur de Lis Spellbinders die to make the red mat behind the sleigh using Kaisercraft Scarlet weave card stock.

I made the Bow using a Sue Wilson lattice bow die from Creative expressions and a bit of green card stock remaining in my scrap box. The ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon

The greeting was made using a Waltzing Mouse stamp and a Tuxedo Black memento ink pad. I fussy cut the shape into an arrow head and then did the same with the green mat

Card # 2 ............

You can see the similarities between these two cards can't you. Same Bo Bunny 6 x 6 pad and the ribbon was some I'd had for ages and the Sue Wilson Bow die is the Filigree version of the die. The metallic looking card is from an American Crafts 12 x 12 paper pad. The Holly is cut using Sue Wilson Holly accessory dies.

Here's a closer view of the Sligh cut out with the Cottage Cutz die.

A Coffee Mug House Christmas Card

Hello Blogheads, how are you today? I have been busy in my Craft room today and made a few cards that I can share with you over the next few days. I am trying to make time crafting as I am working overseas for about 10 days leaving here next Monday 13th on a business trip to Las Vegas. Yes it is a business trip, I have a colleague who works there ans we have a client joining us for a meeting.
Fortunately we have a long weekend here in New South Wales meaning Monday is a holiday ... yay more crafting time!

Here is today's card:

I just loved the Cottage Cutz die when I saw it and it makes a lovely card. I made another one which I'll be showing you too at some point. The Background paper is from a Bo Bunny Christmas 6 x 6 paper card collection, the gold mat card is from an American Crafts metallic glitter 12 x 12 Paper Collection. I used a Spellbinders Floral Oval die and LOTS of scraps to make the little Coffee House!

Here's the coffee house in close up so you can see it better. I was pretty true to the original image on the packaging, adding a B0000 copic to give the snow a little dimension and again using W1 & W3 Copics for shadowing.

I used a Ribbon I have had in my stash for ages which I think I bought from the Frantic Stamper in the states. I bought lots so it lasts ages!
I placed it under the Oval centre piece and added a bow on top at the side.

Mmm the Vanilla Kaisercraft weave card stock turned Blue in the light when I took this photo no idea why!!! I just took this to show I used a piece of Mirror card, punched a few stars and popped a peel-off on top.




... and there you have it!
