An almost CAS card with Mistletoe

Today I am showing you a card that is an almost CAS card. There is a bit too much embossing on this one for a regular CAS card but it is still elegant.

I embossed a white panel with a christmas themed embossing folder that has this nice flat area in the middle. I added foam tape on the back for a bit of dimension and I adhered it to a white base card. I die cut the mistletoe and berries from a Simon Says Stamp die set out of white cardstock. I colored the leaves and berries with Distress Oxide Ink Bundled Sage and Lost Shadow. I don't know the brand for the little bow but I also colored that with Distress Ink Kitsch Flamingo. I added some foam tape behind the mistletoe for some dimension. I stamped the sentiment first onto the embossed panel and then I adhered the mistletoe. A nice clean card is the result.

I will be adding this to 52 Weeks to Christmas this week.

A Butterfly Thank You Card

 

Today I am showing you a card I made for my brother and sister in law who are hosting our annual family day. So to thank them for doing this I made this nice thank you card.

I added a light blue panel onto a white rectangle base card. I die cut 8 white and 8 blue flowers from Lady E Designs and glued the flowers so they would have 2 layers. I added some pearls into the centers. I die cut some leaf branches from Elizabeth Craft in white and used some green leaves I had left over from another project. I also die cut a small lace circle and cut it in 4 parts and added them to the corners. I also cut some butterflies from Simon Says Stamp and added some blue and black ink to the edges of the wings. I printed the sentiment and die cut a circle with the sentiment in the middle. I added all the leaves and flowers on the edge of the circle. I added some foam tape to the back of the circle and adhered it to the card. For the finishing touch I added a few halfpearls.

I will be adding this to the following challenges:
Fab 'n Funky #643 - Three of something
Dream Valley #371 - Pearls and/or gems
Triple B October 2026 - Birds, Butterflies, Blooms

A Happy Snowman Card

 

Today I am showing you this cute snowman card

I made this card with the Coverplate Snowman Die set from Papertrey Ink. I used a purple background paper that I got in a gift bag from my local shop so I don't know the brand for this. I cut the hat, scarf and mittens from purple tones of cardstock. Now while I was cutting this set the little piece that cut out the arms mysteriously dissappeared so I had to invent something so use to make the arms. I do hope to find this piece someday again but for now I improvised. I added some glitter snowflakes I had left over from another project.

It is a bit smaller card then I normally make but very cute.

I will be adding this to the 52 Weeks To Christmas challenge for October

An Embroidery Christmas Card

Today I am showing you an embroidery christmas card I made as a guest designer for the Girlz Creative Christmas challenge blog. Thanks for having me. The theme is Stitching Real of Faux. Please join the challenge with your lovely creations.

So I took an AI image. I don't like most AI things but every now and then there are just some so cute images. The images are printed ofcourse. I printed a larger one for the front and a smaller version in the corner on the inside. I love how you can make it all matching. I then pierced the intire pattern onto the front around the image and used DMC embroidery floss in matching colors to stitch the pattern with. On the corners I added some gold half pearls and in the left top corner I added an organza bow with 2 gold bells. I didn't add a sentiment this time but I will write something nice on the inside.

An Autumn Fall Gnome Card

Today I am showing you a fall or autumn themed card. Lots of challenges are having this theme at the moment so this is my creation.

I took a pale orange digital paper of the collection Sweater Weather from Nitwit Collection. I die cut a grass hill in a moss green tone. I die cut the log and mushrooms from die sets of Marianne Design. The chestnuts and gnome are from Globeland die sets. I also have some tiny butterflies but I don't remember the brand for those. I didn't add a sentiment to this one but I will add a nice message on the inside. This one is for my stash for now.

I will be adding this to the following challenges:
