Spellbinders Shapeabilities - Cannetille Rectangle Dies



Made using

Spellbinders Shapeabilities Cannetille Rectangle dies
Crafters Companion Little One die
Crafters Companion Boy Girl dies

The ribbon, and elephant with balloons set are unbranded.

I find new baby cards hard to do; grown up celebratory cards are far easier.

Anyway, one down, one to go.

Tattered Lace Stag Symphony Christmas Card in Spellbinders Scribe PA Frame



Made using
Spellbinders PA Scribe set,
Tattered Lace Stag Symphony 
Impression Obsession Twig Wreath, Pine Needles Holly Berries Set.

The poinsettia and rectangle dies are unbranded.

I embossed the stags from the back with a ball embossing tool to make them appear more 3d and added eyes and noses.  Though some of the smaller deer look a little googly eyed or winking as my pen was slightly dodgy.  Lol.

Repeat 20 more times.  I'd had more than enough of stags and apertures by then! 😅😀

Thank you and Seasons greetings to those who have stopped by over the last year from far and wide. 

Snowflake Ribbon Christmas Card



Made using unbranded dies and cut twice, one in white and one in silver.  Glued together but slightly offset to give a 3d effect.



This is the same card but using the negative space.  Boy was it tricky gluing the tiny pieces into position in the snowflakes!  

And I hate it when you can see the glue on the silver card but it was so difficult on this and the other version looks much better anyway.  Lol.









Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments & Marianne Winter Village Horizon



Made using
Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments die
Marianne Winter Village Horizon die
and Memory Box Star of Wonder die.

The foliage dies are various unbranded dies.

I made these last few in a hurry and unfortunately I forgot bits.  There was supposed to be a snow embossing folder used behing the church scene and snow added below and other finishing touches but oooopsy, time got away from me.

Tonic Studios Tea Party Square Christmas Card


The Season's Greetings.  An acrylic stamp found in a charity shop.

Tonic Studios Tea Party Square die cut in white backed onto gold.

Mistletoe dies unbranded as are the circle dies.

Cut, glue, stamp, sprinkle, heat emboss and Bob's your uncle.

Sue Wilson Australian Background Card



Anniversary card made using Sue Wilson Australian background die, unbranded banner dies, Spellbinder Lacey Circle die and a Lili of the Valley circle sentiment stamp.

Unfortunately when cleaning the acrylic stamp after use it just disintegrated in my hands.  Sadly most of them have done and they no longer make them.  Perhaps that's why!

Shame, as they are my favourite way to use a sentiment on a card.  I know they have the same in digi form now but I don't have a programme that can get exactly the right colour that I want.  😭
