Santa

I used papers from Graphic 45 'T'was the Night Before Christmas' to make the background of this card.  I cut the image out of another sheet of paper to make the topper.  The embellishments have come from the bits of paper I had left over.  I finished off by adding some poinsettias made from Sue Wilson's stamps.

Traditional Christmas

I made a couple of different cards using Sue Wilson's 'Wise Men' striplet die.  For the first card I added a couple of coloured paper behind the die cut image, then simply mat and layered it onto the base card.  I finished off by adding a sentiment and a few pearl drops.

For the second card I cut the front in half and added the die cut image onto the bit that was left.  I added a border across the back of the card along with a sentiment and a few pearl drops in the corner.

T'was the Night Before Christmas

I used a few different papers from Graphic 45 'T'was the Night Before Christmas' to make the background of this card.  I cut out the image from another piece of paper to make the topper.  

I finished off the card by adding a sentiment and a handmade poinsettia flower.

Christmas Stockings

I used Graphic 45 'T'was the Night Before Christmas' paper pad to build up the background of this card.  I cut out a circle and stamped the stockings to make the topper.  The stocking stamps are from Creative Stamping magazine issue 27.

I made the poinsettias using Sue Wilson's stamps.  I coloured them with Barn Door Distress Ink and added a pearl drop into the center of each flower.

Gift Card Wallet

I bought my brother a gift card for Christmas so made this wallet to put it in.  I scored an A4 piece of white card at 4" and 8" and cut 2" off one of the ends to make the wallet. 

I used Graphic 45 'T'was the Night Before Christmas' papers for this card.  I cut out one of the tags from the papers to make the topper, stamping my sentiment directly onto it.

I stamped and cut out a couple of pieces of holly to add as an embellishment around the topper, I used Liquid Pearls to make the berries.  I added a couple die cut presents on the other side of the card.

Merry Christmas

I've finished off making all my Christmas cards for this year.  I've put poinsettias on everything so you'll have to bear with me if it gets a bit boring :p

I used Graphic 45 'T'was the Night Before Christmas' paper pad to build up the background of this card.  I cut out the center from Sue Wilson's 'Caribbean Island' background dies to make the plaque, stamping my sentiment into the middle.

I used Sue Wilson's poinsettia stamps to make the flowers, colouring them with Barn Door Distress Ink and adding a pearl drop into the centers.
