Rustic Christmas Wreath

Hi! I hope you've had a good weekend! I'm back with another Christmas card - properly in the flow now! ;-) It's using this weeks Case this Sketch, Festive Fridays photo challenge and the Pals Paper Arts colour challenge. I made the wreath by cutting a few different sized poinsettias in a mix of greens then cutting them apart and glueing them in a wreath shape. I used gold Wink of Stella on the bow but it only shows up in a photo when turned at a weird angle into the sun! Thanks for looking, I hope you like it :-)

Supplies;
Card stock - Stampin' Up 'Naturals white', 'Cajun Craze', 'Always Artichoke', 'Garden Green' & 'Pear Pizzazz'
Paper - My Minds Eye 
Dies - Spellbinders 'Poinsettias' & Taylored Expressions 'Basic Bow'
Other - Wink of Stella 'Gold' & pearls

Red & Kraft Christmas cards

Hiya! I hope you've had a good week! This is another long post warning. I think a lot of future ones might be as now my crafty time is scarce I'm trying to make more than one card with the supplies I have out rather than tidying everything away and starting from scratch the next time. Just realised my rambling is making this post even longer so I'll cut to the chase - 2 more Christmas cards :-)

This first one is for Day 2 of my challenge to case Kristina Werners Holiday Card Series cards. I used the idea for a Kraft base and a reindeer peeping through a circle cut out this time. It's also using this weeks Freshly Made Sketch as well as this fortnights Festive Friday challenge photo and the Simon Says Stamp challenge of Anything Goes. All the red presents made me think of this paper pad.

My second card is also using the Festive Friday photo and the Simon Says challenge but I've combined it with this weeks Retro Sketches sketch. I made a subtle shaker card with some vellum and large sequins. I die cut and stacked up 4 or 5 cardstock rings to make the holder for the shaky bits, much neater than a load of foam pads ;-) Thanks for looking, have a great weekend!

Sparkly pink christmas card

Hi! I'm back with a card I've made using some of the gorgeous new Gilded Winter papers from Buttons for Brains - they're beautiful!! I've also used one of the wood veneers from the Winter Woodland collection, normally not a pairing I'd use but I flipped the veneer over to the plain side, smooshed it in VersaMark ink and covered it with embossing powder to match the papers. Then a generous helping of gems & pearls to make a girlie Christmas wreath :-) All this was inspired by the current Festive Friday challenge photo, and the layout is this weeks CAS(E) this Sketch. I've also used the top line (Sparkle, Patterned Paper & Embossing) of this weeks Merry Monday challenge. Thanks for stopping by :-)

Supplies;
Paper - First Edition 'Gilded Winter'
Cardstock - Stampin' Up 'Pink Pirouette' & Neenah 'Desert Storm'
Wood veneer - Dovecraft 'Winter Woodland wooden shapes'
Sentiment - Simon Says Stamp 'Small Folded Banners'
Embossing powder - Wow! 'Metallic Platinum'
Other - adhesive pearls, pink gems & natural twine
