On Friday I went to a mini Stampin' Up workshop run by my friend, Inkabelle. This was one of the cards I made. It's a great design for using up thin snippets of paper. On this one, I ripped the card to give snowy effect.
On Saturday our craft group held it's usual monthly craft day. As it's nearly Christmas, this month it was twelve hours long.... 9am - 9pm! We all do our own thing and I managed to make ten Christmas cards and two birthday cards, as well as finding lots of time for chatting, laughing and eating!
This is one of the cards I made, using the technique from the card above. The patterned paper was from The Works and too thick to tear easily, so I just cut it in thin strips. I used a Memory Box 'Vesha Ornament' die to cut the aperture. The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Greatest Part of Christmas' set, stamped with Versafine Claire 'Strawberry'.
While I had my bauble die out I made a this card. Instead of filling the aperture with strips, I put a snippet of blue, snowy paper behind the aperture. I used the die again to die cut the bauble from a snippet of silver glitter card and inlaid it into the aperture.
I am sharing this last card in the following challenges:
