as its an anything goes so long as its Christmas......
I have used a crafters companion create a card die to make the stepper card and inked through with chipped saphire distress ink....the embossing folder is "star of wonder" again a crafters companion folder and the sentiment is a tonic die.....
Pop over and have a go there are some great prizes......

having fun playing....

Heartfelt creations poinsettia

I am determined to make the cards that come in the card pack....this is the second one with a few extra bits.....

and then while I was at it I cut into the paper pad....yes I did.....and made a second cardusing one of the 6x6 card fronts.....

for this card I used the sparkling poinsettia dies....the hollyberry pre cut stamp set and the matching die.....and the sentiment is also from this set....distress inks and viva 3D gold stamp paint .....
these cards are so much fun to make .....
Hope you are having fun crafting today.....

loving these dies......

yes...new dies ......naughty girl but I just could not resist.....

Sue wilsons holly mini striplet......I hand painted the leaves and background with aqua tints...put double sided adhesive over the top and glittered with cosmic shimmer diamond snow....then put another die cut over the top to hide any messy edges,,,the background embossing folder is Sue Wilsons swirling holly....the sentiment is a Phil Martin stamp,the banner is the Sue Wilson pierced flags....a few PVA red glue dots and ribbon from my stash and a red sparkler....
Hope You're Enjoying your weekend....I am still catching up on my washing!....oh and a bit of crafting!

back from my holidays....

how the times flies....at last I am away on my holibobs and this is a scheduled post!.....

I decided that this challenge...thank you Rita...was perfect for my tattered lace book die.....I printed off the wording for Deck the halls...took it into serif to size it.....then stamped an old stamps away stamp ....a set of three called "Carols."....embossed in gold...tinted with aqua tints....lashings of glitter.....the corner stamp is a Katy Sue designs stamp from a silhouette set called "christmas sentiments" and just a bit of  red liquid pears for the berries...
I hope you are enjoying your Sunday.....please have a look at the other girls in the clubs lovely creations their names and links are on my sidebar.....

Red and White Christmas

I loved this Sue Wilson snowflake background as soon as I saw it.....

I have kept it simple just using red and white matting and layering...the embossing folder is Sue  Wilson's snowflake lattice...last years Filigree poinsettia die with micro beads for the centres....the star spray die cuts are covered in glitter....as is the sentiment which is a tonic die.....a few cosmic shimmer sparkle PVA glue .....
Hope your crafting is going well today.....
