Collettes Cards

Hi Papercrafters :) My final Christmas Card for the year!  Yay!! A twisted easel card, they always look so grand!! Once again I have used 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas' collection from Ultimate Crafts.  I have had so much fun playing with this classic collection and I know my family and friends love the cards I have sent them this year. This is a right fold twisted easel, which feels a bit back to front but looks wonderful when open. So with the fold on your right, take the bottom left hand corner and fold it against the crease line creating a mountain fold. Here is a pic of the card when closed, you can see the fold line down the middle.  Remember, the folded side of the card is on the right!  It should create a bit of fun when it's being opened lol! I fussy cut some of the beautiful big poinsettias from the paper pad and layered them in a pretty floral spray on the front. Other papers from the paper pad...

Hi Papercrafters! Today I have a lovely white and gold Christmas card with a beautiful foiled sentiment "Peace on Earth'! I love this message, it says so much about how so many of us feel ..... if only!! I started by creating a 4" x 6" card. I then embossed a 3 1/4" wide x 2 1/2" x 5 1/2" tall piece of white card with the beautiful 'First Snow' embossing folder. I love this folder and find my self using it regularly! Next I foil embossed a piece of 2 1/2 " x 3" wide piece of white cardstock with  'Peace of Earth" foil stamp and my Go Press and Foil Machine. Finally I cut two pieces of matte gold mirror board,  3.5" wide x 5.5" tall and the second at 3 3 1/8" wide and 2 3/4" tall.  I then attached all the layers to my card base. Next I die cut the Poinsettia Flower and Christmas flourish in mat gold paper and attached to by card. I decided not to add the beautiful...

Hi beautiful Papercrafters! Today is World Card Making Day and to celebrate I have made a sweet Christmas card with the beautiful , 'It's Beginning to look a Lot Like Christmas' collection from Ultimate Crafts.  As you know I have had fun playing with the collection this past month! I so love creating flower clusters on my cards. I sprtized and then painted this flower to get the colour I wanted!  That's why I love to buy white flowers, so that I can alter them any way I want! My new favourite toy in my craft room is Ultimate Crafts 'Go Press & Foil'. If you don't have one, right a letter to Santa ...... right now!  It is so awesome.  On this little card I foiled the sentiment and it looks so utterly gorgeous!

Oh Christmas Tree Hi papercrafters! I have been getting very festive and my Christmas cards are in full swing. Just loving the ‘Silent Night’ and ‘Frosted’ collections this month! Today I thought I would share my ‘Christmas Spirit Box’ with you –  well, that’s what mine will be, I will tell you all about it in my video! It’s what I call a triple drop down (or explosion) box and in the center is a grand Christmas Tree, just like you would find in a busy city center at Christmas. I wanted to share how I created this little beauty so again, I have made a video which will take you through its creation so you can play too. Check out the video on my  video page on this blog, (see above).
