Warm Winter Wishes

Morning crafters, thought I would show another Christmas card today a girly one at that.

Items Used:

• Basic White 8" x 8" card
• White card
• Create and Craft Pearlescent card - Pink
• Spellbinders  - Fancy Frame Tag 2
• Spellbinders Nestabilities - 2010 Heirloom Ornaments
• Spellbinders Shapeabilities - Layered Poinsettia
• Creative Expressions - That Special Touch mask - Lattice

• Cosmic Shimmer Embossing Powder - Burnt Red Lustre
• Cosmic Shimmer PVA - Pearl
• Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Victorian Velvet
• Habico Self Adhesive flat-backed Pearls
• Versamark Ink Pad
• Own Stash Pink Ribbon  & Double Adhesive Sheet

 I matted and layered up with Create and Craft Pearlescent card - Pink and White card and placed these onto my base card. With some White card I placed the Creative Expressions - That Special Touch mask - Lattice face down and inked through with my Versamark Ink Pad, I removed the mask and heat embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Embossing Powder - Burnt Red Lustre. 
I covered a piece of White card with some Double Adhesive Sheet and die cut it using the Spellbinders Nestabilities - 2010 Heirloom Ornaments, once cut I removed the cover and coated in Creative Expressions - Micro beads. 
Out of  more white card I stamped my sentiment Creative Expressions Un-Mounted Stamps - Winter Greetings using Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Victorian Velvet then die cut with Spellbinders  - Fancy Frame Tag 2, I inked through the die with Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Victorian Velvet.
 Out of a piece of  Create and Craft Pearlescent card - Pink I die cut with Spellbinders Shapeabilities - Layered Poinsettia using the three smallest dies, I mounted these together off setting each one then placed a Habico Self Adhesive flat-backed Pearl in the center.

I then started to construct my card, I attached the embossed mask layer onto my card, I placed the Bauble in the center, attached the flower to the left side of the bauble and attached a bow at the top of the bauble from  Own Stash Pink Ribbon, in the center of the bow I added Creative Expressions Fancy Pearl Embellishment. I placed the sentiment in the bottom right corner then added some pearls around the edge of the card using Cosmic Shimmer PVA - Pearl, I put this aside to dry overnight and there is my finished card.

I hope you like it?

Thanks for looking, Jacquie xxx

Christmas baubles

Anyway, today I have another Christmas card for you today.

Items Used:

• Basic White 8" x 8" base card
• Creative Expressions Foundation Card - Teal
• Creative Expressions Stamps to Die For - Floral Bauble
• Creative Expressions Un-Mounted Stamps - Winter Greetings
• Crafters Companions Foil Embossed Card - Christmas Baubles
• Spellbinders Shapeabilities Dies - 2012 Snowflake Pendants
• Spellbinders Nestabilities Dies - 2011 Heirloom Ornaments
• Create and Craft Pearlescent Card - Turquoise Blue
• Papermania Embossing powder - Silver
• Versamark Ink Pad
• Own Stash - Silver Chain Boarders White and Teal Coloured Ribbon
• Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Tumbling Glass
• Pinflare Silicone Glue
• Grand Calibar

First I cut some Creative Expressions Foundation Card - Teal and matted this onto my base card, from a sheet of Crafters Companions Foil Embossed Card - Christmas Baubles I cut this to size and matted & layered it on top of the Teal card, this lovely card came from a Christmas kit I had a couple of years ago and I came across it when sorting my craft room out, it was a bonus find as there were quite a few sheets I had not used.
Out of more Teal card and Create and Craft Pearlescent Card - Turquoise Blue I die cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities Dies - 2011 Heirloom Ornament, the Teal card bauble I stamped with  Creative Expressions Stamps to Die For - Floral Bauble using my Versamark Ink Pad and heat embossed with Papermania Embossing powder - Silver to make the pattern of the stamp stand out, these stamps are wonderful and were designed by Sue Wilson.

Out of White card I die cut one of the snowflakes from  Spellbinders Shapeabilities Dies - 2012 Snowflake Pendants, I inked through the die with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Tumbling Glass then stamped my sentiment from Creative Expressions Un-Mounted Stamps - Winter Greetings using my Versamark Ink Pad and heat embossed again with Papermania Embossing powder - Silver. I placed the snowflake in the center of my Turquoise Bauble to add interest and a place for my sentiment to be shown.
I glued the baubles onto my card with Pinflare Silicone Glue placing the smaller Teal bauble behind the larger bauble, I attached a bow on top of each bauble using Own Stash -  White and Teal Colored Ribbon then from that I attached Silver Chain Boarders to make it look like the baubles were hanging rather than sitting in mid-air.

There you have my finished card, hope you like it?

Thank you for looking, Jacquie xxx
