Santa Wine Glass

Another Christmas card to add to the pile.

 

I've been looking for this Santa wine glass die for a long time and finally found one for sale.  I used lots of snippets to make the decorated wine glass.  The background was embossed with a Christmas text embossing folder.  I'm not sure of the brand, but I think it may be Crafter's Companion.  I’ve got lots of red, black, white and gold snippets, so I think I will probably make quite a few more Christmas cards of this design.

Granddaughter Card

A card for my granddaughter who celebrated her 16th birthday recently.

I made the card base with a Crafter's Companion 'Triple-Stepper' set of dies.  The patterned paper is from The Works.  I used two of my favourite butterfly dies, Memory Box  'Pippi Butterfly' and 'Isabella Butterfly'.

We returned home yesterday from a few days in our caravan in North Devon.  We were lucky enough be in an area with no light pollution when the Northern Lights appeared on Monday. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me and this is the best I could get using my mobile phone.

Allsorts Challenge ~ For Men and Boys

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Ellie has chosen the theme of 'For Men and Boys'.  As always there is also the option of Anything Goes.

I've made a masculine Staggered Front Card.  The patterned papers are from an old Trimcraft paper pad, 'Sail Away'.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Best Year' set, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Nocturne'.

The Allsorts prizes this time are two A5 stamp sets from Sweet Poppy.

Stepper Christmas Card

Another Christmas card for the pile.  I saw this style of card demonstrated on the Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page yesterday.  I haven't seen this fold before, but it's really easy to make.

The patterned papers and topper are from a paper pad from The Works.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Dashing Deer' set.  As the text on the topper is grey, I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Clair 'Morning Mist.
