Happiest Christmas Wishes

Sneaking in a last minute card for the Rudolph Days Challenge.  I made a card HERE using the same image in purple.  I really liked how it turned out, so I made a CAS version.


The image and sentiment are from the Stampin' Up 'Dashing Deer' set and stamped with Versafine Clair 'Monarch'.  I used two shades of purple for the mats to match with the shade of purple in the image.  I finished off my card with three tiny clear gems.

Masculine Card

It was my hubby's birthday yesterday and this is the card I made for him.  Thankfully I made it a few weeks ago, before my little accident, otherwise he might have had a shop bought card! 😮I'm getting more proficient at typing with my left hand, although now the plaster cast is off and replaced with a splint and a wrist brace, I also have the use of my thumb and two fingers on my right hand.  I might even try a little crafting over the weekend.

I saw this style of card demonstrated on the Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page recently.  I altered the measurements to make a 7" x 7" card as it suited the die cut football better.  The patterned paper is from The Range.  The football is raised up on foam pads to add some dimension.  I didn't intend to put two small black pearls on the sentiment panel, but they are useful for covering a little smudge, aren't they. 😉


This is the back of the card with the blank panel, where a wrote the message.  I struggle at the moment to hold a pen in my right hand, so my writing looks like a five year old's, but it's even worse if I try to write with my left hand. 🤣

Corner Pop-Up Card

Thank you for all the Get Well Wishes on my last post.  No chance of crafting one handed so I'm sharing a card I made for my great niece earlier this month.

The patterned paper was all snippets from a paper pad from The Range. The flowers were made from snippets too, using dies from the Jamie Rodgers 'Daisy Blossoms' set.   The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Humming Along' set.
