Christmas Baby Card

 

Today I am showing a baby Christmas card.

I have so many die set that I only used once of still haven't used at all and even though they are older they are still so nice to use so from time to time I will get out those older die sets.

I cut two scalloped circle dies and on one of them I added a scoreline about 1,5 cm on the top. I then glued that onto the other circle to make a nice base card. I then taped some wood grain paper by Lemoncraft and a christmas themed digital paper of Nitwit Collection together and cut a circle out if with my circle die. I cut 2 small white strips to add as a baseboard. I used dies from Marianne Design for the baby, the toy and the cloth that the baby is sitting on. I used dies fro Honeybee Stamps for the garland and bow. I finished the card with a homemade sentiment strip.

I will be adding this to the following challenges:
The Paper Players #PP801 -  Tic Tac Toe (patterned paper - free - circle)
CD Sunday Plus #191 - Anything Digital Goes
Girlz Creatieve Christmas #192 - Anything Christmas Goes

I used digital grey polka dot papers of Nitwit Collections. The flowers are from Papertrey Ink. I did use some different leaves but forgot the brand of them.

The stamped sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps.

Christmas In The Air

Today I am also showing you a card I made as a guest designer for the Cut It Up challenge blog. The challenge is Christmas In July and we would love for you to join in this fun challenge.

I made a slimeline card with a cute santa in a hot air balloon floating to you all to give you lots of christmas hugs. The balloon and the santa are of Marianne Design. The decorations on the balloon are from Honey Bee Stamps. I don't remember which brand the cloud borders are from. I did pop up one border using some foam tape and that is why the balloon actually seems to be floating above the clouds. I used digital designer papers from Nitwit Collections. I just printed the sentiment on my laser printer and then foiled it with gold foil. An overall adorable christmas card in my opinion.

A Script Heart Card

Today I am sharing a card that I guess is kind of a copy of a card I saw on Pinterest. I just like it so much that I had to make it for myself. 

I added the script stamp of Stampin Up on a white background where I added some light blue ink onto. It is hard to see in the photo but it is there. I cut out the heart twice and added Distress Oxide Bundled Sage Ink on one of them. I cut out about 9 of the little flowers and added different shades of pink Distress Oxide inks on them. On some I added 3 small white pearls for the centers and on some just 1 larger pink half pearl as the center. The sentiment stamp is from Honey Bee Stamps and I die cut the outline about 3 times and stacked them together to get the dimension. All and all a pretty nice peaceful card to give to that special someone.

Christmas Shopping

I die cut a store front and decorated it in Christmas style. I used Marianne Design CR1672 String of Lights by Marleen to cut out the light string and added gold metallic bulbs. I used Honey Bee Stamps Christmas Market Add On for the wreath and the sign on the side of the shop. I added an embossed wall panel behind the shop front. I added some acetate for the windows and the front door. The gnome just bought a present from the store. The red background paper is from the Nutcracker collection of Nitwit Collections. The sentiment is homemade and printed by me.

A Gnome Flower Cart Birthday Card

 

This is my card for today. I made it into a birthday card. Spring just started and flowers are everywhere already. Just another excuse to bring out the gnomies again.

I made this gnome from several different sets of Globeland. I die cut a bunch of little strawberries and added them to his hat. He is holding a pot of roses. The flowercard and flowerpots are from Honey Bee Stamps. I printed the blue layer. I love how you can just get any color from your own printer. The sentiment I made myself. An overall cute birthday card in a spring/summer theme.

Color Throwdown Challenge #826

 

I made this card for the Color Throwdown Challenge #826. The sun came out so I was able to take a somewhat better photo just in time to still enter the challenge. The colors that you need to use is brown, pink and white.

I used my new embossing folder which is a 3D embossing folder that looks like strings of pearls. Very nice and as far as I know it's unbranded. I used some yummy ice cream dies by Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Cupcakes and More. Very useful die set and will be using it more in the future. I bought the sentiment stamps second hand on a market so I don't know the designer of that one. To finish the card of I used some sequins in the colors that matched the card.
