Scalloped fairy xmas card


My husband bought me a Bigshot, but I only have a few embossing folders and no dies. Anyway, I saw this template in a magazine & tried my luck at it. I heat embossed the image onto round card that I had created using a compass and cut out with scissors. I then colored her with normal papermania colored pens. This was then mounted onto red mirri card, again made using a compass & cut out by hand. The small red & white card was a small plain round white card but I used a ruler to make the stripes. I highlighted the egde with glitter. This was then mounted onto red scalloped card & glittered the egde. The base card I made using a compass, cut it with scalloped scissors & edged in glitter. I finally mounted the image onto the main base card.

Victorian xmas card



This card I made especially for one of the ladies I care for that has MS. It is decoupaged  and a bit of glitter added to some parts of it.

First waterfall card


I started to think I could make alot better cards than just the common card where you mount the images onto card. Well, I must say for my first ever waterfall card I think I did pretty good at it.

Xmas card my daughter made


Ok...I did all the cutting out of this card. My daughter stamped the image and used glitter to give it highlight. The sentiment I heat embossed for her. She punched out the snowflakes with my snowflake punch and she did the layout of the card. Not too bad for a 6 year old huh

First Decoupaged Card


This design I got from a magazine when I first started crafting & my very first attempt at decoupage. It is layered onto silver mirri card and the sentiment I threaded some ribbon through it.

Cute xmas card for a special lady


I couldn't resist doing this one for my favourite lady I care for. She loves dogs, but unfortunately due to bad illness she is not able to have any. Here, I have taken the image, wrapped a piece of ribbon near the bottom, finished with a small silver bow & gem stones on either end. The blue ribbon around the dog, bells and holly I have glittered. I cut the 3 edges into scallop. I then layered the whole image onto silver mirri card and put all this onto the base card.

Fairy xmas card



I used a 10.5cm card base & embossed a snowflake design onto silver card using my bigshot. The colored paper I got from a magazine. The image I heat embossed, colored it with normal colored pens (papermania). The sentiment was from the same stamp set. I'm really pleased with how this card came out.
