Walking in a Glittery Winter Wonderland :D

Another pair of quick Christmas cards, this time using the Scenic Winter Border Dies free with issue 168 of Simply Cards and Papercraft :D I created two bright 'sunset' background using Distress Oxides, then splattered on some Silver Dream Pixie Powder to create some falling snow in the sky :D I used an Apple Blossom stamp set for the sentiment (Love this stamp set!!) and used some Nuvo Pure Sheen glitter in the Ice White colour to add some fallen snow on the hills, trees and houses :D Hope you liked today's video :D

A couple of quick cards using the Sending Christmas Wishes free gift from issue 151 of Papercraft Essentials along with the bonus paper pack that comes with the issue too :D There are tonnes of papers in the pack, and you get multiples of each too which is great :D I thought a 'thank you postie' card would be perfect to give to our post woman, and I coloured the cute Jack Russell stamp to look like my Jack Russell Lilly :D Hope you liked the video :D

The Sorting Hat Using Tonic Dies :D

 

I couldn't help making the hat from the Witchy Bits Trio Tonic die set into the sorting hat, it just had to be done :D When I started colouring the first one I was like, what have I let myself in for, this looks terrible, no one's going to know it's the sorting hat, but after building up the depth of colour and adding in the cross-hatching using a black pen, I think you can tell it's a version of the sorting hat :D :D And obviously I had to do one for each house, so I then had to replicate the process lol, the Gryffindor one is my favourite (probably because it was the first one I did) but I don't think the others turned out too badly either :D Hope you liked this different take on the die set :D :D :D

Skeleton Leaves and Glitter Spellbinders Quilt It :D

An experiment using double sided adhesive with skeleton leaves and glitter :D I then used some of the Spellbinders Quilt It dies (you can also use the Geo Collection too) to cut this into pieces along with some pearlescent cream card and I pieced it together to make a pattern :D once I had my pattern I then embossed the whole panel too, my original plan was to emboss the card first, but I got carried away and started gluing on the pieces before I remembered lol :D Hope you liked the card :D
