Christmas Penguin

I couldn't let a Christmas go by without using my little Leonard penguin die.  Leonard is a Cuttlekids die, cut out of white card and coloured using pro-markers.

I added a few die cut snowflakes onto the front insert of the card and decorated the back panel a using Spellbinders 'Holiday Tree 2012' die cut.  I finished off by adding a sentiment across the tree.

I've been using up all my scraps of Christmas papers to make these box cards, I ran out of blue on this card so just used a border across the top panels of the box.  At least now I've got an excuse to buy more Christmas papers in the sales!!

Santa's Workshop

This card was just a bit of a fun idea I had.

I wanted this design to look a bit like a toy shop.  I used Tim Holtz 'Blueprint Christmas' stamps for the toy soldier, coloured in using pro-markers.

I added a few cogs and springs onto the front insert of the card using stamps from Creative Expressions 'Vintage Inventor' set.

I added a sentiment onto the back panel and a hand written 'Santa's Workshop' sign onto the front.

Christmas Village

I've got a bit obsessed with making box cards so there's a few post of them coming up.

I used Creative Expressions 'Festive Village' stamp set for this card.  I stamped out the village and trimmed it down so it fit on the front insert.  I cut out a few trees and added them to the back insert.  The images are coloured in using pro-markers.

I decorated the panels using some patterned papers adding a sentiment onto the back and a 'Grandma' tag on the front.
