A Christmas Scrapcard

 

Today I am showing you a christmas card in scrap style. I took digital papers from different collections of Nitwit Collections. I distressed all the edges and added stitching on the flower paper. I pierced the holes by hand and also the stitching is done by hand. This took quite a bit of time but it looks so pretty.
I die cut some labels and heart. I punch some holes in the top of the hearts after I added some white ink on the edge of each heart. I then added some jute thread though the labels and the hearts. 
I added some lace and the hearts and labels on top of that. The sentiment was stamped but I don't remember the brand for this one. The inside is decorated as well to match the front.

It is a bit heavy to mail this one but I can always hand gift this to someone.

I will be adding this card to the challenges below:
52 Weeks to Christmas

A Kitty Cat Christmas Card

Today I am showing you the card I made as a guest designer for the 52 Weeks To Christmas challenge. The theme is to make a christmas card featuring a cat, dog or hamster. I made it into a rocker card.

I used a bucket of Elizabeth Craft Design. I added a cat from Marianne Design in the bucket. I added this onto some designer papers of Nitwit Collection. I used the text circle of Marianne Design and added a red circle behind it so you would see the white words better. To finish it off I added some holly leaves with berries. 

Hope you all join in this lovely challenge

A Halloween Card

 

Today I am showing you a halloween card. In my country halloween is getting more and more celebrated so I can make these kind of cards also now. 

I took a white base card. I added a black panel on top of it. I used a piece of digital purple plaid designer papers from Nitwit Collections. This paper is from the Trick or Treat collection. I inked the edges of the paper with Distress Oxide Ink in the colors Shaded Lilac and Villainous Potion. I added die cuts from the Halloween Wonder set of Spellbinders. I added some black pearls and a homemade sentiment that I die cut with a label die. 

I will be adding this to the following challenges:

A CAS Christmas Card

Today I am showing you a card that I made from a cute graphic that I had as a leftover and I just didn't wanna throw it away. 

The oh so cute santa bear holding a gingerbread cookie is from Creative Fabrica. I die cut the graphic using a circle nesting die. I cut a white rectangle panel and took a bigger circle out of it on the upper part to make the window for the circled graphic. I also embossed a strip using my embossing pen. I then popped the panel onto some foam and also the circle with the graphic. I added it onto a white rectangle base card. I die cut a sentiment with my label die to finish the card. I kept it simple because I want the cute santa bear to be the focal point of this card.

I will be adding this to the 52 Weeks To Christmas this week

I die cut a background panel from Pretty Pink Posh. I added some Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink in the middle of the panel. On top of that I added die cuts from the Papertrey Ink Into The Blooms: Mushrooms die set. I use cream and brown cardstock and inked the edges. I also added some ink to the leaves and leaf branches. I used 2 different green tones of cardstock for the greenery. I added a few clear pearls here and there and added a homemade sentiment to finish the card with.

I will be adding this to the following challenges:
