Snoflake Christmas Card Challenge (docrafts)

Hi well I have managed to make a couple of cards this week. To get me back into all the crafting Christmas Cards is top of the agenda as I have alot to make for Marc and Chloe to give to their school friends. Therefore I am trying a few different techniques over the next few weeks and decide which I can make a few of (by using stamps) and being not to expensive but looking the part. I have also got the Joanna Sheen new Christmas Creations CD and I am looking forward to using the same.





Well my cards - they are both the same but of different colours. I have just recently bought a snowflake embossing folder for cuttlebug (but used on my bigshot) therefore I used this as a background and finished by using mouse stamp (cute companions I got free from a magazine after entering into competition first 100 to send got stamps and me and my sister was one of the lucky ones. I have coloured them in using pro-markers one as a pink theme and the other as a blue. finished with a snowflake which I have finished with a touch of glitter.

Another Christmas Card for snoflake Challenge

Hi this card is A5 size which I have used Christmas Flower stamp coloured in using pro-markers - poppy, green and lime - which I have placed in the centre of a card which I have used as background from Create and Craft two Christmas ago. I didnt know what to do with these cards initially even though most of the work was done I find it harder to make cards like these I prefer to make a card from scratch and go with the creativity. As time as progressed I have learnt to cut things up more and use them differently then having craft items sitting around collecting dust. Well back to the card as the background had to be cut and placed back together to hide the join I finished with red ribbon which is fastened just at the inside so I enabled to join a bit of ribbon with a tie as a bow effect (got the tip of Joanna Sheen)again the snowflakes are from a punch which I finished with a red gem in the centre.
