Busy Crafty Weekend!

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:
