A ring accordion Christmas Card

Hello good blogging friends and family. I trust all is well with you and you have enjoyed your Wednesday.
I have another Christmas card to show you.
Here it is:

I made the base of the card using an Elizabeth Craft Design die and some metallic red card stock from an American Crafts 12 x 12 card stock. I cut a circle with white card stock using the 3inch circle die from another ECD die set. Then stamped a Flourishes die in Tuexedo black ink and coloured it with my copic sketch markers. Then fussy cut the image and stuck it to the white circle die cut. I hand wrote the words and used a Deco paint pearl pen to make faux pearls around the edge.

Here is the card opened up. It shows a sentiment on the second panel and a La La Land digi stamp on the last/third panel. This too was coloured with my copics.

Here's a close up of the La La Digi image I used.
He;s really cute I think.





















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

American Crafts Christmas Glitter 12X12	Quill White MultiBoard 210gsm Card stoc	ECD Ring Accordion Die (904)	ECD Clock and Gears (917)	Hero Arts Clear Christmas Messages stamps CL722

A Red and White Christmas Card with a faux pearl frame

Hello how are you today? It has been a cooler day for us today and a little rain fall to boot. We are away this time next week at the start of our overseas trip to New York and then Europe. Firstly we have a couple of days in Sydney with two shows to see at the theater before we leave on Thursday for the states.

Today's card is another Christmas card in red and white - my current favourite Christmas colours.
Here it is:

The card was made of white card stock on top of which I cut a mat of scarlet Kaisercraft weave card stock. Then cut some white card stock and cut out the centre piece using the smallest die of the Sue Wilson Vienna die, then  I put the white card stock layer through the rows of bows embossing folder.

Then I made a frame for the centre of the card using the Vienna die again. I added it to the card on foam pads to raise it for dimension. Then I stamped my sentiment on white card stock with a memento black tuxedo ink pad and cut it out with the centre die from the Sue Wilson Salzburg die. Then I added crystal stickles to the outer rim and stuck it

I then added faux pearls on top of the red mat layer on the main piece of the card using a Deco paint pearl pen.

I then made a couple of poinsettias using the Sue Wilson, Classic and Mosaic poinsettia dies and more red and white card stock.

I also cut a couple of leaves using the Petite Vinery die and putting some more crystal stickles glitter on them.

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









The main ingredients I used to make this card:
