Two Christmas Cards

H- Is for Hang it Up

This card used some Kanban papers

I simply trimmed down the word and then cut the bauble sheet so its could be used top and bottom.

I finished with some little strips of glitter card to hide the seams

I for Intricate

I used a couture snowflake die to cut out the shapes from white paper

Then mounted them all onto the pale blue paper

Finally finished with a sentiment.

Using the Foil Quill Pen

I made this card on my Brother Scan and Cut

I used it first to cut the circles from a white piece of A5 card

Then I used my new We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill Pen to write the word Birthday.

I had some snippets of red and yellow card in my box so I used these to foil the letters for HAPPY

Then I placed the red and yellow piece behind the holes and stuck them down.

Finally I mounted it all onto a piece of A5 red sparkle card and put it on card blank.

Using the Positive

On my previous card I used some strips from some off cuts

and the negative from my happy birthday cut on my scan n cut.

These bits where left on my desk and I thought without any work 

they would make a good card.

I simply layered the off cuts and the stuck on the sentiment.

Bright Birthday

This was a very quick and simple card made this morning.

I used a scrap of white card to stick 1cm strips of snippets.

I then used a snippet of black and cut the happy birthday out

on my scan n cut, the positive I will use on another card later.

But I used the negative on this one.

Finally I trimmed it to fit and stuck it on the card.

Hubby's Birthday

For my hubby's birthday I brought him new glasses.

I wanted a Card to reflect this and saw one like this on google no thought I could do that!

I stamped the glasses and cut them out.

Then used word to create the 'age test'.

I then put a bit of blue card on my card base and then 'eye test'. 

The glasses were mounted onto 3D foam and placed at the top.

This is a quick and simple card but I am pleased with how it worked out.

Have a Wild Time

This card was made using a clear stamp I brought from Ally Pally yesterday. 

It's the first I have been as don't do well in crowds but it was fun.

I stamped him using some distress inks.

Then I used my waterbrush to bleed out the colour a little.

The glasses came in the same set, I stamped this in black.

Then again used a blue distress ink with the water brush to colour them.

I then used my Spellbinder dies in my Todo to cut the oval.

I cut the ears of the giraffe so I could shape them over the edge.

Finally I finished with the sentiment.
