Simple and Sparkly Christmas

I recently brought a mixed pack of silver card and was itching to make a card with them. The pack contains glitter card, pearlescent card and mirror card and i thought these would be prefect for a Christmas card. I spend ages on Pinterest trying to get ideas but this one was simple and came together by itself,  but i think it came out pretty effective.

Items used:

White card stock 280gsm for base
Glitter & Pearlescent silver card by Crafters Choice
Reindeer Die - Uniquely Creative Geometric Deer
White card 210gsm for sentiment
Sentiment Die - Kaisercraft i think
Double sided tape

I would like to enter this card in the following projects:

Crafters Castle Challenge

Starting on Christmas Cards

Well i figured it was time i at least started to contemplate Christmas Cards as the year i rapidly flying past. I wanted to make something simple and classy, nothing too fancy and without any images or digital elements (as challenge for me that's for sure) and that's how this card came to be. I figured you couldn't really go wrong with black and white.

Has a little incident with my white embossing but i am going with it adds to the christmasy feel :)

For this card i used:

Black Cardstock & Gems - From my Stash

Paper - Pretty sure this is by KaiserCraft (it has been in my stash a wee while)

Adhesive - Good old double sided tape

Embossing Power - Nuvo

Bow - Made on my We R Envelope Punch Board

Versamark Ink

Seriously where does the time go?

Hi All,

I really cannot believe how long it has been since i last posted on my blog, i guess time just has a habit of getting away from you sometimes.

I went into my local craft store and despite the fact i was going to be strict with myself in that i only needed card stock, i absolutely fell in love with the patterned papers i have used in this card. So much for being strict with myself :)

There is just something so timeless about a combination of white and blue. I also went on a bit of a spending spree on new digital stamps this weekend also and the i absolutely adore the one i have used. I think i will get a fair amount of use out of her.

For this card i used:

Image: Simply B Stamps

Papers - Fab Scraps

Die Cuts - Spellbinders

Flowers - Kaisercraft

Sentiment - Sassy Studio Designs

Ribbon, Buckle and gems were all from my stash

Colouring - Copics B39, C1, C5, C7, C9, E50, E57 + Marine Star Gelly Roll
