Spellbinders PA Scribe Set & Sizzix Tim Holtz Poinsettia Christmas Cards

 





The die used to cut the background for the white card is an unbranded one and not sure what it is called.

The poinsettia was cut from foamiran.  Heated on an iron or with a heat gun and then twisted to shape.  Gold artificial flower stamens added.

Sentiment stamped to tag and double layered with gold card over white and gold ribbon.  Flat back pearls added.

I only made nine of these as they were very time consuming and they played havoc with the pinched nerve in my neck!  Insert crying face here! Or the worlds smallest 🎻   Lol.😁

πŸ’—Anyway,  seasons's greetings to you and here's hoping that 2021 is a much, much better year for us all!πŸ’—

Crealies Create A Card No6 and Tattered Lace Floating in the Air Circle Surprise Baby Card

 


Made using Crealies Create A Card No6 die for the card blank and Tattered Lace Floating in the Air Circle Surpirse.

This beautiful baby girl is half chinese and I knew that this part of the childs heritage was important to both parents so tried to include it in the card and as 2020 is chinese year of the rat, a rat it had to be.  It's a very cute rat though!

Anniversary Card

 


Main die is from Sue Wilson's Italian Collection; Umbria.

The image is a free image downloaded from png.tree.com and is called pink watercolour flower frame.  There are thousands to choose from and you have download two free every day.

Added some of my ubiquitous glazed Sue Wilson Camellia flower dies.  I made a big stash of these but have used that last of them so goodness knows what I will use now.  Lol.

21st Birthday Card

 


Made using Couture Creations Tied Together embossing folder.  Sue Wilson Stitched Flags Dies.  Number Dies.  Spellbinders Scalloped Circles.  The flowers are made from Sue Wilson Camellia dies, coloured and glazed.

The patterned papers are very old and I have no idea which set they originally came from.  Actually thinking about it, they're probably as nearly as old as the person for whom the card is for.  Lol!

Birthday Card using Crafters Companion Opulent Swirls Die

 


Made using one of the Opulent Swirls dies as the main background for the card.

The papers and tags are the last remnants from a very old set.  Found a rose I had previously made.  Wound some ribbon and made some hatpins.

Die cut an easel stand and that was it. 

Hope everyone is keeping safe and well during these strange times.

Tonic Studio Essentials Victorian Frame Layering Set used to make this card.

It was bought for me by a special friend for my last birthday so I thought I would use it to make her birthday card this year along with some ribbon that she had given me.

Hope she likes it.
