A very contemporary Christmas Card

This is my entry into the Creative Cardmaking Competition in Issue 33. Unfortunately because I have used acetate is has been quite hard to get a good picture. I used the paper from the issue, mounted onto black card and covered with acetate. I cut the poinsettas in black shiny card using a Mariannes Design die and used a Craftwork Cards message. .

Creative Cardmaking

This is a card I made for the Creative Cardmaking Competition using the Nitwits Collection from Issue 32.
I cut  squares from the papers and added to a square card using one of the toppers in the collection onto a scalloped oval nestability shaded with spun sugar distress ink. The flowers were from some my sister brought me back from America.

Card for my Aunt Nell

This is the card I made for my Aunt Nell's 90th birthday. I used a rose topper from one of my magazines onto a lacy square nestability. i made the rose added a gem and attached to my ribbon.

Boys and girls come out to play

I missed the deadline for the Wild West challenge at "do it with digis", luckily the card will be suitable for the latest one. I bought the digi image from Bugaboo Stamps and coloured it using promarkers and cut the image out with my new Grand Calibur. The sentiment I designed myself using Publisher and is my first attempt at this so i was quite pleased. The paper and buttons are from my stash.

January family birthday cards

Here is a card I made for my brother in law. This gave me a chance to play with one of my new "nesties" I got for Christmas.

Using the same set of papers from Making Cards magazine I made the above card for my husband's aunt.

She likes owls and this seemed good, it is difficult to see properly as the front is a sheet of acetate and doesn't photograph well. The flowers are some that my sister brought me back from Florida.

Some of my Christmas cards

My new Grandnephew

This is a bit of a catch up post as I have been so busy I haven't had time to put on my latest cards, but here goes. Jake was a December baby and this card was made with a lovely Kanban kit which I used to make an easel card and I also put his name on.
