Merry Christmas

This will probably be my last post before Christmas Day.  Wishing all visitors to my blog a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and creative 2025.

A Christmas card for our granddaughter.
The patterned paper is from The Works.

This is the inside of the card.  All the panels were from the same paper pad.  I added a white glitter Memory Box 'Twilight Snowflakes' die cut to the panel on the right.

Allsorts Challenge ~ Use Dies

Sarah has chosen 'Use dies' for the theme of this week's Allsorts Challenge.  As always you can always use the Anything Goes option as we love to see all your creations.  This will be a two week challenge so plenty of time to join in the challenge.

I made the card base with a Spellbinders 'Happy Days' set of dies.  The patterned paper is from an old 'Woodland Folk' paper pack.  I used a Creative Expressions 'Rambling Berries' embossing folder for the white panel. The acorn and large leaves are die cuts from the 'Tonic 'Autumnal Oak' set and the acorn is attached with foam pads to add some dimension. I used a paper punch for the four small leaves.  The sentiment was a die cut, cut in white and coloured with a brown Promarker.

There are three prizes this week of Oakwood dies and coordinating stamps.

Happy Birthday, Granddaughter

Our granddaughter is celebrating her birthday today and this is the card I made for her.

The card base was made with Made To Surprise 'Side Panel Showstopper' dies.   The patterned paper is from The Range.  The butterfly was made with Memory Box 'Vivienne Butterfly' and 'Darla Butterfly' dies.  The background of the butterfly was embossed with a Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' embossing folder.
