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

Double Z Fold Card

Hi Everyone,

I have seen so many amazing Double Z Fold cards on Pinterest and really wanted to give this a try but at first glance they looked fairly tricky to create. I looked around online and found a tutorial on The Stamp Witch Blog and it was super easy to follow and i cannot thank her enough for posting this.

I wanted a fun and different card but because this is one i plan to be sending overseas i needed to be aware of posting it and costs etc. This folds fairly flat and is 41\2 in squared so a really good size.

For this card i used:

Black Cardstock - American Crafts
Sentiment Stamp - KaiserCraft
Ink - India Ink - Black
Square Die - Uniquely Creative
Christmas Tree Die - Free in Issue 123 Australian Simply Cards Magazine
Digital Papers - Nitwits Collections - Christmas Roman
Tutorial - Stamp Witch Blog Tutorial

Not a square card!

I tend to prefer square cards for some reason so decided to step out of my comfort zone with this next card and went with rectangular. I have a bit of a Nitwits Collections addiction going on and instantly loved their Enchanting digital kit. It isn't colours i would normally choose but the are so fresh and bright that i couldn't resist. The other difference i wanted to try was a card without an image, focusing on words or a sentiment instead. It isn't something i do very often. This kit is fantastic as you get so many wonderful items in it so i also used their circle sentiment too.

For this card i used:

Blue Cardstock, Blue Gems & Mini Gems - From my stash
Digital Papers and Sentiment/Wording - Nitwits Collections - Enchanting
Circle Die - Uniquely Creative
Butterfly Die - Spellbinders
Adhesive - Double sided tape & Dimensionals

No Posts in ages and then two in one day

To be honest this card came about with more playing around with my stash, specifically my new toy a Mini Minc Machine. I have been looking at tutorials online and seeing how other people do it. Mine didnt come out right (i clearly did something wrong) but i actually really like the effect it has given...so if anyone asks i did it this way on purpose ha ha.

Pink & Black Cardstock - From my Stash
Digital Paper - NorthSeaStudio (Etsy) Tropical Paper

Seriously, Where does the time go

I can't believe it has been so long since i last posted, i have still been crafting on and off but nowhere near as much as i would like.

This card was well outside of my normal but i got the stamp free with a magazine (Thank you Cardmaking in Easy Steps) and this was the source of my inspiration. I actually enjoyed working outside my comfort zone and am pretty please with the outcome, although clearly fussy cutting isn't something i excel at ha ha.

For this card i used the following:

Flamingo Stamp - Free with the Tropical Delights stamp set with Cardmaking in Easy Steps Issue 25
Copic - RV32 (sorry didn't try shading)
Black Cardstock - From my Stash
Tag Die - Uniquely Creative
Digital Papers - NorthSeaStudio on Etsy - Tropical Paper Pack
Image Stamped with Momento Ink in Tuxedo Black
Stamped on X-Press It Blending Card
Enamel Dots - Whimsy Stamps
Adhesive - Mix of Dimensionals & Double sided tape
