Shine A Light

Another Lili of the Valley stamp bought last autumn and just getting it's first outing.  I bought so many between the SECC, Glasgow and the NEC, Birmingham shows and then didn't have time to use them for last years Christmas cards.

The base for the card was made using Go Creat XXL Frilly Square dies #10, the background decorative paper is by Craft Creations and is called silver border on snowy clouds, quite a mouthful that one.  I stamped onto Spellbinders Petite Ovals Large and mounted it onto Labels 10.

She's a wee cutie holding her Christmas lantern.  I coloured her in with Copics: Clothes B91,93,95.97,99.  Skin E000,00,21.  R20.  Holly G21,24,28,29.  R29.  Crook and lantern C0,1,2,3,5.  YR20,21,23. 

I've used Fancy Tags for the silver peel off sentiment, Memory Box, Frosty Border in silver Mirri card to add a little bling and then more bling with clear jewels.  All in all a very pretty Christmas card.

Have a nice evening.  Hugz, Janice

Tobaggan For Two

Not a shaped card today, what a change!  I set out to use some of my new toys with this card and I sure did enjoy making it.

 
The decorative paper is from Craft House, called Plum Pudding-Brandy Sauce.  I've used the Holly Flourish from Cheery Lynn dies, and for the first time Die-namics Fancy Flourish.  The sentiment is also from LOTV, Christmas Circular Sentiments Set 5 and this is the first time I've used it.  It was stamped on to Spellbinders Standard Circles and matted and layered using the same and also, for the first time, Spellbinders Ironwork Motifs.  I've added some red jewels to jazz up the sentiment a bit, I also used the same jewel on the small version of the Ironwork Motifs and cut another Holly Flourish to pieces to surround it, to help balance out the card a bit more.

The image is LOTV Toboggan For Two, very appropriate today considering it's snowing from the heavens at the moment here in East Kilbride.  The image was stamped and coloured with Copics and matted and layered with Spellbinders Classic Squares Small and Large and then mounted onto a Fleur Di Lis Square.  Copics List - Clothes for the girl R32,35,39. E40,41,43.  Clothes for the boy E13,15,17,18,25,27,29.  R22,24.  YR20,21,23.  YG93,95,97.  Hair E31.  Skin E00,000,21.  R20.  Sledge E31,33,35,37,71,77,79.  Snow W0,1,2.  The presents are coloured using the same reds and yellow reds as the clothes. 

That about wraps this post up.  I'm going to go have another wee look at the snow and then it will be almost lunchtime.  Have great day and thanks for looking.  Hugz, Janice

Sympathy Card

A lovely card for such a sad occasion, hope I don't need this one anytime soon.

Again a lovely shaped card using Grand Nesties Labels One and normal Nesties Label Eight.  The black and silver foliage backing card is from my stash and was bought a long time ago, sorry I don't know who's it is but it's fabulous.  The lovely foliage is Fanciful Flourish from Cheery Lyn Designs, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The sentiment is a silver peel off mounted onto a tag from Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three and the jewels which are hiding a glue mark on the silver mirri card are from Papermania many years ago.

Despite the occasion being a very sad one, I love the card and think it's quite elegant.  Hugz, Janice

Poinsettia Christmas

Another lovely die cut card, this time a Christmas one.

The lovely pink background paper is from Daisy Bucket Designs and is called Wrapped Wishes.  The sentiment is a holographic peel-off, a pink one, mounted on to the second smallest Spellbinders Label 8, edged in green Copic marker and a clear Stickles glitter glue.

 The flower is Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia in pink and white.  The foliage is Martha Stewart Branch punch and Holly punch, also the nice holly is from Cheery Lyn Dies and is simply called Holly Flourish.

This was a pleasure to make, again nice and easy to put together.  I do hope you like it.  Hugz, Janice
