Another Christmas Pudding

I've made this CAS Christmas card with an old embossing folder that had been a magazine cover gift many years ago, plus a Christmas pudding that was a 'spare' when I made my Framed Christmas Pudding card.

To make this card I used:
     5" x 5" white matt card blank
     Clearly Besotted 'Christmas Pudding' stamps and coordinating dies
     Apple Blossom 'Holly' embossing folder 
     Versafine Vintage Sepia and Olympia Green ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Copic - R27
     Diamond Stickles
     Wink of Stella
     Snippet of white matt card

I embossed a piece of white card with the holly folder, trimmed around the edge and attached it to the front of the card.  I used brown ink to stamp the Christmas pudding and green ink to stamp the holly onto a snippet of white card  These were both embossed with clear embossing powder and cut with the coordinating dies.  I attached the pudding to the centre of the card with a foam pad and applied Diamond Stickles to the top.  I coloured the berries with a red Copicr and added a Wink of Stella.  I attached this to the top of the pudding whilst the Stickles was still wet.

With Sympathy

I've had no time for crafting over the last few weeks - we've had lots of work done on the flat, a few family issues and other things have taken a priority recently.  However, as I needed a sympathy card, and didn't have one in my card box, I've made a little time this afternoon to make this quick CAS card.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white linen card blank
     Woodware 'Large Fennel' and Clearly Besotted 'Fancy Sayings' stamps
     Versafine Imperial Purple ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder.

I placed the card blank into my MISTI and laid the fennel and sentiment stamps onto it.  These were then stamped with purple ink, stamping several times to get a good even depth of colour, before embossing the the image with clear embossing powder.

Ed Hedgehog

I won this cute hedgehog cross stitch kit in a giveaway group and thought it would make a great birthday card for a young member of the family.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white linen card blank
     The World of Cross Stitching magazine 'Country Companions - Ed Hedgehog' cross stitch kit
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
     Woodware Round Corner punch
     Snippet of white linen card

After stitching the design I set it aside and made a frame from a snippet of white linen card.  I trimmed the card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank, rounded the corners and die cut a stitched circle from the centre.  I attached the stitched design behind the aperture and then attached the panel to the front of the card.

February Rudolph Day

It's time for the second Rudolph Day of the year and another Christmas card with a stamped image (a main stamped image is my RD theme this year).  This lovely Woodware stamp was in the Christmas prize bundle I won in the Snippets Playground.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Woodware 'Bubble Bauble and Bow' stamp set\
     Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Copics - B32, G02, G05, RV23, V12, V15, Y02, Y15, YG06 & YR00
     Woodware 'Corner Rounder' punch
     Glossy Accents
     Wink of Stella
     White matt card

I used brown ink to stamp the bauble and sentiment onto white matt card.  The panel was then trimmed so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and the corners rounded.  I used Copics to colour the bauble, bow and leaves before attaching the panel to the front of the card blank.  To finish I applied Glossy Accents to the baubles and a Wink of Stella on the bow.

     Addicted to Stamps & More - Make your Mark (I have used Copics)

Ruby Rose Cross Stitch

This Reflexions cross stitch kit was amongst the many items my neighbour gifted me earlier this year.  The kit was to make a ruby wedding anniversary framed picture, but I decided to omit the wording and stitch the rose to make a card for her birthday.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white hammer card blank
     Reflexlions 'Ruby Wedding' cross stitch kit
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
     Woodware corner rounder punch
     Snippet of white hammer card

I die cut a stitched circle from a piece of white hammer card and trimmed it so it was slightly smaller than the card blank before rounding the corners.  After completing the stitching I mounted the design behind the aperture and attached the panel to the front of the card.

Retro Reindeer

I was fortunate to win a mystery prize bundle of Christmas goodies in the Snippets Playground and this cute Retro Reindeer was in my package.  The set not only included the stamp but a coordinating die too - perfect for me as I'm not a fan of fussy cutting!  The sentiment was also from another stamp set I won, the main image will appear on my blog soon!

To make this card I used:
     5" x 5" white matt card blank
     Crafter's Companion 'Retro Christmas - Reindeer' stamp and coordinating die
     Woodware 'Bubble Bauble and Bow' sentiment stamp
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die.
     Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Copics
     Snippet of white matt card

I used a stitched circle die to emboss the front of the card blank and set it aside.  I used brown ink to stamp the reindeer on a snippet of white card.  This was embossed with clear embossing powder before being cut with the coordinating die.  I put the card blank into my MISTI and placed the reindeer onto it so I could see where to stamp the sentiment.  I removed the reindeer and stamped with sentiment with brown ink.  The sentiment didn't stamp too well on the embossed circle, so I filled the gap with a brown Copic before embossing the sentiment with clear embossing powder.  To finish I coloured the reindeer with Copics and attached it to the front of the card with foam pads.

Happy Christmas

I enjoyed using the CAS Colours & Sketches sketch for my birthday card so thought I would use the same sketch for a Christmas card.

To make this card I used:
     C6 white matt card blank
     Memory Box 'Traditional Ornament' and 'Lydia Ornament' dies
     Woodware 'Delightful Dangles - Christmas Tree' sentiment stamp
     Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Sizzix 'Dots' embossing folder
     Snippets of white matt card, dark brown pearlescent card and gold mirri

I trimmed a snippet of white card to a width of 1.5cm and cut it slightly narrower than the card blank before embossing it with the dots embossing folder.  I placed the card blank in my MISTI with the embossed strip on top so I could where where to place the sentiment.  I removed the strip of card and stamped the sentiment with dark brown ink before embossing it with clear embossing powder.  I then attached the embossed strip above the sentiment.  I die cut the Traditional Ornament from dark brown pearlescent card and the Lydia Ornament from gold mirri.  The fancy die cut was embossed before being layered onto the brown ornament before being attached to the embossed strip.

Snowflake Serenade

I was lucky to win this lovely 'Snowflake Serenade' stamp set in the Uniko 'Christmas in July' challenge and teamed it with my 'Big Bold Wish' stamp and die to make this Christmas card.

To make this card I used:
     7" x 5" white matt card blank
     Uniko 'Snowflake Serenade' stamp
     Uniko 'Big Bold Wish' stamps and coordinating die
     Versafine Majestic Blue and Brilliance Pearlescent Sky Blue inks
     Woodware Snowflake punch
     Snippets of white matt card and silver mirri

I trimmed a piece of white matt card to 6.25" x 4.25" and stamped the large snowflake stamp in pale blue ink.  I stamped 'wish' onto a snippet of white matt card, stamping several times to get a good depth of colour before cutting it with the coordinating die.  I die cut the 'wish' outline from a snippet of silver mirri and layered the two die cuts.  I placed the snowflake panel into my MISTI with 'wish' in the lower corner so I could see where to stamp 'Make a'.  I removed the die cut and stamped the rest of the sentiment in dark blue ink, stamping a couple of times so the letters had the same depth of colour as 'wish'.  I then layered the panel onto silver mirri and attached it to the card front.  I attached 'wish' to the lower corner but didn't think the card looked balanced, so I punched three small snowflakes from another snippet of silver mirri and attached them to the upper corner.

Everyone Needs a Friend Like You

This is the card I made to send to Brenda for the February Card Chain Challenge.  I used the Colour Option (Cherry, Butter & Sage), the Theme Option (Hearts and Flowers & Friendship) and the Product/Technique Option (Embossing Powder & Die Cutting).

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Woodware 'Bubble Bloom Jeanie' and 'Stamps for All Occasions 'Sentiment' stamps
     Sizzix 'Floral Hello' heart die
     Versafine Olympia Green ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Promarkers - Pear Green and Pastel Yellow
     Glossy Accents
     Wink of Stella
     Snippets of white matt and red matt card

I trimmed a snippet of white matt card to a 5" x 5" square and placed it into my MISTI.  The flower stamp was too upright for the card, so I snipped between the leaves so I could bend the stamp onto my card.  I then placed the sentiment in the lower corner of the panel.  I stamped the flower and sentiment with green ink before embossing them with clear embossing powder.  I coloured the flowers, leaves and 'YOU' with Promarkers.  The panel was layered onto a slightly larger square of red card and attached to the card blank.  I die cut two small hearts from red card and attached them on each side of the sentiment.  To finish I added Glossy Accents to the yellow flower bubbles and a Wink of Stella to the leaves and 'YOU'.

     Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
     Faber Castell coloured pencils
     Wild Rose Studio 'Bluebell' paper

Best Wishes to You

I made this card for a friend's birthday using a preloved stamp I've recently bought as it's perfect for paper pieceing.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Woodware 'Bold Blooms - Vivian' stamp
     Versafine Onyx Black ink
     Lili of the Valley 'Heartfelt' paper
     Snippet of white matt card

I put a piece of white matt card into my MISTI and stamped the flower onto it before setting it aside.  So I could ensure the leaves (which are separate stamps) were in the right place, I cut a scrap of paper to the same size as the white card and stamped the flower again and then stamped the leaves.  When I was happy the leaves were in the right position I removed the scrap of paper and replaced the card into my MISTI to stamp the leaves.  The panel was trimmed, layered onto green paper and attached to the card blank.  I stamped the flowers onto a snippet of pink paper and the leaves onto a snippet of green paper.  These were fussy cut and paper pieced onto the card.  I stamped the sentiment onto a small snippet of white card, stamping a couple of times to get a good depth of colour.  This was trimmed and attached to the card with foam tape.

Happy New Year

     Diamond Stickles
     Wink of Stella
     Snippets of white matt card and red mirri card

I stamped the champagne glasses onto a snippet of white card with purple ink and then added the sentiment to the bottom of the card.  I coloured the hearts and ribbon with a red Promarker and the champagne glasses with a cream Promarker.  The panel was trimmed, layered onto red mirri and attached to the card blank.  I added Diamond Stickles to the champagne bubbles and a Wink of Stella to the hearts.

Christmas Clarissa Bubble Bloom

When I posted my Clarissa Bubble Bloom birthday card a few days ago, Colleen commented it could be made Christmassy.  I've used the stamp many times over the years, but never for a Christmas card so I've changed the colours and sentiment to make a card for the CAS on Friday 'Christmas with Non-Holiday Items' challenge.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Woodware 'Bubble Bloom - Clarissa' and 'Festive Verse' stamps

     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Card Candi
     Gold metallic pen
     Glossy Accents
     Lili of the Valley 'Classic Christmas' paper 
     Snippet of white matt card

I used brown ink to stamp the flower and sentiment onto a snippet of white matt card before embossing them with clear embossing powder.  The panel was trimmed, layered onto dark green paper and attached to the centre of the card blank.  I stamped the leaves onto another piece of green paper, fussy cut them and attached them to the card.  I attached red and gold Card Candi to the larger flower circles.  I coloured the smaller circles with a gold metallic pen before adding Glossy Accents.

I have several 'Bubble Bloom' stamps, but this is my favourite - I've had it for years but still enjoy using it.  This card is for a friend's spring birthday using pastel colours which are her favourite.

To make this card I used:

Hope Your Day is Glorious

I made this card for a friend's birthday and chose to colour the flowers so they look like Michaelmas Daisies, which are one of my favourite autumn flowers.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Stampendous 'Daisy Birthday' and Woodware 'The Hedgerow' stamps
     Memento Tuxedo Black ink
     Promarkers
     Papermania Shimmering Dots
     Snippets of white matt and brown pearlescent card

I trimmed the snippet of white card to a 4.75" x 4.75" square.  The daisy is a cling stamp, so I removed the foam from my MISTI before placing the card into it and stamping the flowers with black ink.  I replaced the foam pad and then stamped the sentiment above the flowers.  I then coloured the flowers with Promarkers.  The panel was layered onto a slightly larger square of brown pearlescent card and attached to the card blank.   To finish I added three small shimmering dots around the flowrs.

Birdsong Anniversary

I made this wedding anniversary card using an old Woodware stamp - one of the first stamp sets I bought when I started cardmaking many years ago.

To make this card I used:

     Woodware 'Birdsong' and Clearly Besotted 'Modern Calligraphy' stamps
     Momento Tuxedo Black and Versafine Satin Red & Crimson Red ink

     Wink of Stella

I trimmed the white matt card to 5" x 5" and placed it into my MISTI.  I stamped the birdcage on the top left corner using black ink and then stamped 'congrats' in the lower corner with Satin Red ink.  As the sentiment looked too bright, I stamped it lightly with Crimson Red ink.  The panel was then layered onto a red pearlescent card and attached to the front of the card blank.   I stamped onto another snippet of white card using black ink and fussy cut them before colouring them with brown and red Promarkers.  The hearts on the birdcage were also coloured with a red Promarkers.  I added Wink of Stella to the hearts and sentiment and then attached the birds to the front of the card with small foam pads.

September Rudolph Day

It's time for the ninth Rudolph Day of the year and another green and gold Christmas card (green and gold cards are my RD theme for this year).  My August Rudolph Day card was one of Helen's Top Three and she has invited me to be one of her Guest Designers for the September Rudolph Day challenge - thank you Helen!

     Versafine Olympia Green ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Gold holographic peel-off dots
     Snippet of white matt card

I trimmed the white card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and placed it into my MISTI.  I stamped the tree and sentiment with green ink, stamping several times to get a good depth of colour before embossing them with clear embossing powder.  The panel was then attached to the front of the card.  To finish I attached small gold peel-off dots around the tree.

Happy Christmas

I made this Christmas card with a small Rudolph I found in my oddments drawer and, of course, some snippets.

To make this card I used:
     5.25" x 4.25" white matt card blank
     Clearly Besotted 'Let's Prance' stamp and coordinating die
     Woodware 'Delightful Dangles - Christmas Tree' sentiment stamp
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Rrectangle STAX Die-namics' dies
     Versafine Onyx Black ink
     Promarkers
     Snippets of white matt card and lilac snowflake paper
     Glossy Accents

I made a frame with two rectangle dies and a snippet of white card.  I trimmed the snippet of lilac paper so it was a little smaller than the frame and attached it to the centre of the card blank.  Rudolph had been stamped onto a snippet of white card and cut with the coordinating die before being put into my oddments drawer, so I only had to colour him to use on this card.  I placed the card blank into my MISTI before laying the frame and Rudolph onto it so I could see where the position the sentiment stamp.  I removed the frame and Rudolph before stamping the sentiment in black ink.  The frame and Rudolph were then attached to the card with foam tape.  To finish I added Glossy Accents to Rudolph's nose.
