A rectangle Holly and Poinsettia Christmas Card

Hello how's your weekend going? It's been another warm one today and we had thunder rumbling for a little while with a few drops of rain. One of the hottest days in November for 5 years was what was reported on the news this evening!

I have a quick card to show you today:

I created the top layer first of white card stock, then put it through an Interlocking circles embossing folder and rounded the corners. I then layered this onto a black piece of card stock (Kaisercraft Liquorice).

Then I created the poinsettia flowers from red (scarlet) and black (liquorice) card stock and using Sue Wilson Classic and Mosaic poinsettia dies, placing a pearl at their centres. I also added a couple of Petite vinery leaves for dimension cut from more white card stock.

Then I cut a strip of Holly using the Spellbinders Holly accents die with the black card stock, which I layered under a strip of red card stock. On the top of this strip I added a pierced piece of white card stock, my sentiment stamped with memento tuxedo black ink was placed on top of that with some red pearls as an additional embellishment.
Finally all of this was then added to a prepared base of red and white card stock that had also been paper pierced.

.... and there you have it.

Knock Knock - it's a Christmas Card

Hello everyone from a VERY hot day here in NSW Australia. Our outside Thermometer registered 42.5 degrees and they say tomorrow (Sunday) will be hotter still. Well I will be doing all I can to stay cool. For those of you in colder climes I apologise for "rubbing it in". We have been looking at all the snow in New York and we will be there ourselves in early December - so we'd better make sure we have our winter gear with us!! Regardless of where you are I hope you are having a great weekend.

Today's card is another Christmas card. I used Bo Bunny's 12 x 12 Avenue paper. As soon as I saw it I knew exactly the card I wanted to make. So here it is:

I cut the card stock to a reasonable size then punched the edges with a Martha Stewart punch, adding some red strips from my stash behind so that you could see the pattern better.

I used a red peel-off for the sentiment and used a Spellbinders die for the base of the sentiment which I placed at the top of the card.

I cut a lot of Holly leaves from the Sue Wilson Holly Accessory dies in different coloured Green cardstock - most of it from my scraps basket in my stash, I arranged them to look like a wreath.

I then created a triple fold bow in red ribbon which I added at the base of the wreath.

And there we have it. I kept the inside pretty plain with a stamped sentiment inside. I added a piece of ribbon at the side to cover the join between the front and back of the base card made from white card stock

A Christmas Elf, 3 panel accordion Card

Hello. I hope you are having (or have had) a great day today and are looking forward to a nice weekend. The weather here is REALLY heating up and Sunday promises temperatures of mid to late 30's in Celcius. Today we had 31 degrees although there was a little wind which cooled us a little. Average temperatures for this time of year are 24 degrees. The weatherman said tonight on the news that it was the hottest November for 20 years!!

Today's card is a rectangle accordion, here it is:

Here is the front panel.
I used an Elizabeth Craft designs accordion die to make the frames.

The little elf is a La La Land Digi die that I coloured with my Copic markers.

The sentiment was stamped using a Memento black Tuxedo ink pad.

My apologies I cannot remember what the  brand of the card stock was - it probably was a kaisercraft 12 x 12 Christmas paper.

Here is the card opened out.

I used washi tape on the top and bottom of the writing panel and used a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment.

For the last panel I used a flourishes stamp and coloured it with my Copics and I fussy cit it out.
I used an oval cut from white card stock which I had left over from another card for the background.

Here is the back of the card which I added the ECD star edges to to finish it off.


Here are the main ingredients I used to make my card:

I folded a piece of white card stock to make the card base. Then another on top of that which I pierced. Then added a piece of Kaisercraft Scarlet weave cardstock.
