Christmas Door

Hello crafters and followers, hope you are all well?  By the time this is posted I shall be on my way back from a relaxing week in Clawton just outside Holsworthy, getting back in time to put my tree up and christmas will start in our household - lovely.

Well Christmas is almost on us, yes honestly, it is on the countdown now and here is my first christmas card of the year.

I started with a C5 card in centura pearl and matted some black card onto that. I then took another piece of centura pearl card, embossed it using falling leaves A4 embossing folder and distressed it using fired brick distress inks.

I die cut a piece of black card using the 5x7 card creator die which fitted my topper perfectly.  My flowers were die cut with a marianne die using gold mirri and some red card topping them off with a dollop of silicone glue and covered it with gold glitter.  The leaves were also marianne die using mirri card.

Hettie on Stage

Hi folks, hope you are having a fabulous Sunday and getting some crafting in.  Me, I am watching christmas movies, yes I  know, it's a bit early but I do like that feel good factor. 

My post today is another card I made for Hettie.  This one was from her grandmother.  As you can guess Hettie sings and I am told very well according to my mom.  I haven't heard her unfortunately.

The image is a digi stamp I found on Esty and coloured in with my copics.  The backing paper is centura pearl embossing using the swirl embossilicious folder- the8x8- which I do love.  So useful. The flower is a spellbinders and the leaves are from crafters companion dies I think.  Beautiful dies I have to admit, so useful.  Hettie is stamped with Clarity alphabet stamps, again such a useful stamp collection to have in your stamp stash.

I have put some glitter on the feather wrap using a glue stick and white glitter.

Hope you like this one.  Thanks for stopping by.  Until next time, take care.
