Back to Christmas with Die'Sire Edge'ables Christmas Only Words

Back to making Christmas cards this weekend so had a look through some of the samples I did a few weeks ago and thought I would share this one with you. 

As soon as I saw the Die'sire edge'able Christmas only words die's I knew that they would look fantastic paired up with the Create A Card die's. So for this one I made a basic shadow box card and just added an extra two inch to the top so the edge'able die could be used, Apart from the backing glitter card all I added to this one was a snowflake, a little red ink to highlight the angel and a few gems.

Nice simple card to make because the die's do all the work:

Thank you for stopping by x

Texture Embossing Folder (5 x 7) - Basket Weave

What a lovely sunny day it's been! We visited Harewood House today and it was lovely walking around the gardens in the sun.

Because of this I am a little late with posting this weekend but here is a card I made using the Basket Weave Textures embossing folder. I think the Texture folders are my favourite ones at the moment.

I turned this into a step card and as with my last card, I kept it really simple just adding a few flowers leaving the embossing to show through.

I am trying to get some cards made for the MacMillan coffee morning next Friday so I think I will be making a few more like this.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend and see you all soon x

Texture Embossing Folder (5 x 7) - Dry Stone Wall

I wanted to try out a new technique I had seen on YouTube and I thought this embossing folder would work brilliantly with it.

I took an A4 piece of craftwork card, gave it a light coating of white Gesso and left it to dry overnight. I cut out a 5" x 7" piece and embossed it with the dry stone wall textures embossing folder. I very lightly sanded a few area's just to bring back some of the brown kraft card and distress ink and ended up with a lovely white washed wall finish (hope that makes sense).

All that was left to do was add a few embellishments and a sentiment so I went for a ribbon and flowers and the sentiment I left unmounted as I wanted the embossing to show through as much as possible.

My husband did help with this bit (he picked the colour of the flowers and the quantity), The card was shown on TV and he was telling everyone this this was his design.... (bless)!

Well, I hope you all have a lovely weekend - I may be able to spend a few hours finishing off a few crafty projects this weekend x
