Christmas Sweater Cards

 

So very bad weather here this weekend so did spend a lot of time on making these lovely sweater cards.  I don't know the brands of the embossing folders. I buy a lot second hand but the sweater die is from Spellbinders. As I also like stitching a lot it is great to combine this with stitching dies. 

For some I used Madeira floss but the white thread on the pink snowflake is actual thin crochet yarn. You know the kind that also make those lovely doilies. As a crocheter I have lots of yarn so tried it and loved the outcome.

The snow border is from Alinacraft. The sentiments I create myself and ofcourse I added pearls on each of the cards for that finishing touch.

Be back soon with some more cards to show you.

Happy crafting

Panoramic Panel Card

 

I watch lots of Youtube videos and amongst stroll on Youtube I saw a couple of videos of a panoramic panel card. Ofcourse it was all in inches and I use centimeters so I adjusted the measurement to cm instead of inches.

The graphic I borrowed it from a Thomas Kinkade painting. He makes such beautiful paitings. 

The with layer underneath is embossed with a snowflake theme. The sentiment I made myself and printed it out and for the final touch a couple of pearls. Yep I am a pearl girl. I love using pearls on everything. 

The gold paper I used is metallic but it doesn't really show in the photo but it's lovely I tell you.

So that's it for now. Until next time

Another Gnome Christmas Card

 

So this one I had the layout in my head and just had to turn it into a card. As I need a lot of Christmas card I used the Gnomes from Nitwit again.

Just a quick cute card that you can make relatively fast. Everything of this cards has been printed out from the Gnome Christmas collection. I did decorate the inside to match the front but forgot to take a photo of that. Oh well won't forget next time.

The layout is perfect for all kind of cards so I will be using it more.

Till next time

Nitwit Christmas Card

It is that time I really need to start producing more Christmas cards.

This one is made from Nitwit digital papers Gnome Christmas. I cut out 3 circles and adjusted one of the text circles a bit to match the other circles.

The layout is quite simple but simple can be cute as well so I love how it turned out.

I will be making a lot more of these but never the same. My goal is to never make a duplicate of a card so that way each will be unique

Till next time

A CAS Butterfly card

 

So this is my very first attempt to make a Clean and Simple butterfly card.

I did some partial embossing on the top panel using a script themed embossing folder. The butterfly was cut out with a butterfly cutting die from a marble blue background that I found online. I also embossed the butterfly with the script embossing folder but it is hard to see in the photo.

I thought that the sentiment fitted the embossing folder and it allows me so used this for different occasions also

I have added this card for the challenge at CAS on Friday

Happy crafting
