Oldie But Goodie

This is another quick card that I've made for the Cut It Up 'Oldie but Goodie' challenge, using a Memory Box die that I bought back in 2015 and is still one of my favourites.

 To make this card I used:
     C6 white matt card blank
     Memory Box 'Sparkling Tree Tile' and My Favorite Things 'Inside & Our Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics' dies
     Snippets of white matt card, dark patterned paper and gold glitter card

I die cut the snippet of white matt card using the largest rectangle die - as the die wasn't long enough I cut the first half of the die before moving it down the card to cut the second half.  I then die cut the tree from the centre.  I used Artist Tac to attach a snippet of green paper behind the aperture before attaching the panel to the card blank.  I die cut the small tree baubles from snippets gold glittter card and inlaid them into the card.

Joy Hope Peace Believe Christmas

I've not crafted for a couple of weeks as my sister died suddenly and unexpectedly at the end of last month.  However, I've just written my Christmas cards and found I was a few short so I've made some cards this afternoon.  This one uses one of my favourite dies to make a quick CAS card for a friend who decorates her home in red and gold for Christmas. 

To make this card I used:
     5" x 5" white linen card blank
     Creative Expressions 'Festive Collection - Christmas Tree Greetings' die
     Snippets of red glitter card and gold mirri

I die cut the Christmas tree from red glitter card and attached it to the card blank.  I then used a tiny snippet of gold mirri to cut the star and inlaid the pieces into the top of the tree.
