Be Of good Cheer…

This is the second Christmas card I made using my Spellbinders Lacey Pennant dies. The designer paper is Stampin Up Be of Good Cheer, as is the cherry cobbler cardstock and bakers twine.I threaded the twine through the loops of the pennant, and will try this idea again when I find some glittery thin gold ribbon – I think that would look effective. I am working on some different projects this week, but pretty tired after work so not getting very far… Til tomorrow….

Christmas using non xmas items!

So after I made yesterdays card, I looked around the craft room to see what else I had that could be adapted to Christmas cards, and found my spellbinders Lacey pennant dies. When turned upside down they looked like christmas trees to me, and this is what I came up with – I have a couple more which I will show over the next couple of days. The cardstock is Stampin Up Cherry Cobbler, and the embossing folder is a cuttlebug brand. I used my Tim Holtz embossing diffuser ( number 1) to keep the centre clear of embossing, and die cut the pennants from Stampin Up Be Of Good Cheer designer paper. The ribbon is also Stampin Up Wild Wasabi.I used a few dots of perfect pearls Rouge on the tree at the forefront.Til tomorrow….

victoria gardens revisited 2

This is the other card I made when I rediscovered my Echo Park Victoria gardens paper. The flags are die cut with Spellbinders Lacey Pennants die, and I just gathered a few flowers into a little bunch and tied a ribbon around them the sentiment is stamped with a stamp from Stampin Up perfectly penned set, and that was all that was needed on this one! Til tomorrow….
