Happy Christmas Snowman on Tartan background Christmas Card Hi Craft addicts! Goodness Christmas is nearly here! This is a fun card I made using stamps, dies and a Peel-Off sticker.... How I made this project:- This is a 7" x 5" white card which you can buy from most Craft Companies - such as Create and Craft, Hunkydory and Creative Crafting World and I have used it landscape instead of the usual portrait. Tartan makes such a fun background that I used this red, green and black one to make the backing, trimming an 8" piece of paper (from a Hunkydory pad). I attached it to the front of the card using PVA glue and then cut a strip of the reverse side (Green) approximately 1.5" wide and the length of the main panel and then another one from the Tartan slightly narrower and stuck them together with PVA glue again. I then attached that to the main panel making sure that it didn't go over the edge. I cut out 3 circle frames - two in white ...

I stuck the Igloo and smaller of the Penguins down with PVA glue and then attached the larger one to the right h...

Happy Christmas Rudolph square card -  Day 341 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! I had great fun making this Christmas card for day 341 of my challenge - this time using up items that I had cut out already but hadn't put to use! How I made this card:- Using the Rudolph die from Tonic Studios, I cut it out in back card (the outline) and stuck it to some light Kraft card and cut round it. I then used some brown alcohol markers to create shading. The first mat is a pre cut circle of white stamping card (from Hunkydory) which I coloured using Blue and Green Distress Oxide inks - to be honest I just used what was left on my dauber as there was still so much left on it! I then cut out a slightly larger circle (a Tattered Lace Torn Edge die) in Gold Mirri, The patterned mat was sold some time ago by Craftwork Cards and it has a resist layer so that when I coloured it using a variety of Dye based inks and removed the excess, it left this great pattern behind. I ...
