Nativity

For my last Christmas card of the year I've done a more traditional design.  I used Spellbinders 'Labels 18' to create the panel for the back insert of the card and stamped in the centre using Clarity's nativity stamp.  I coloured round the outside of the panel using Weathered Wood distress ink.

I used some die cut snowflakes to decorate the front insert, cut out of white card and silver mirror card.  I added a star onto a piece of acetate onto the back panel to finish off the scene.

Finally I decorated all the panels using a mixture of decorative papers.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Christmas Snowman

The background of this card is created using a snowflake embossing folder, I coloured over the top using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to bring out the detail.  The snowman is die cut using Tim Holtz 'Assembly Snowman' die.  I finished off the card by adding a sentiment and a snowflake flower.

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!!

Snowman In A Box

I made another pop-up box Christmas card.  I used Tim Holtz's Snowman die for the back layer of this card and added a few die cut snowflakes on the front part.  The snowflakes are cut in white and silver mirror card using Spellbinders 'Create A Flake Four' dies.

I covered the panels using some decorative papers and added a few more snowflakes for decoration.  I added a sentiment tag on the front panel with an extra snowflake and some Bakers Twine.
