Serene Razzleberry Snowflakes #2

Here's another card, using the other triangle panel from card number 1.

This time I made a flower and used the Decorative Label Punch for the greeting. The backing for the greeting was two punched panels which I then cut in half, one lengthways and one widthways.

Another easy peasy card, I'll show you another one next time (hope you don't get bored with them).

Take care,

Serene Razzleberry Snowflakes #1

Having loved the card I made last week, I had to make some more! This time I took an A4 sheet of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the Serene Snowflakes all over in Rich Razzleberry, Pretty in Pink, Early Espresso and finally Champagne Mist Glimmer Paint.

I then cut several panels out of the sheet. This technique is called "One Sheet Wonder" as you use a whole sheet of patterned paper (home made or DSP) and make a stack of cards. This is great if, like me, you have loads of cards to make.

I started off with an Early Espresso card base, I cut a triangular panel and a star, layered them onto Rich Razzleberry CS and added a snip of Rich Razzleberry Striped ribbon. I then added the greeting banner. I used a square punch to cut the ends of the banner, layering it on Early Espresso then Rich Razzleberry.

The star was finished off with a button, once you've done the pattered paper it's amazing how quickly you can make this card.

Thanks for looking,

Purple Christmas

Anyone who knows me knows I just can't leave the colour purple alone! I was so gutted when most of the purples were discontinued during the colour revolution, but at least we still have a couple, then came the in colour Concord Crush, yummy!

Take care,

Contempo Christmas Tree

This card was made with the unusual colour combination of Perfect Plum, Cajun Craze and Always Artichoke, it's not a combination I would have thought of myself, it came from my trusty Colour Coach. Doesn't it work well?

You might not be able to see from the photo, but I used the perforator from the Cutter Kit to give the Perfect Plum layer some interest.

Thanks for looking,

Natural Contempo Christmas

This simple easel card show how lovely the baubles are, I didn't have the matching punch when it was made & I have to admit they are easy to cut out, but being very lazy I now have the punch! :)

The colour combinbation can be whatever you like, I chose colours from the Neutrals Collection as I was in that kind of mood, but I've since done some purple ones, no surprize there I hear you say! lol

Thanks for looking,

Christmas Workshop

These cards were made at one of my christmas workshops I've been having lately. Just a few more to go, then it'll all be over! :)

Tthe centre card was made using my new toy, the Cricut die cutting machine. I just love my new gizmo! I can set it to cut a whole sheet of shapes while I do something else, saving me loads of time. I also have the Gypsy, which is great for designing while I'm on my lunch break at work, or sat in front of the telly keeping my long suffering hubby company.

Anyway, we made these three cards, it was a lovely evening having fun crafting with friends, what could be better?

Happy crafting,
Kathy. x
