HTVRONT Sewn Shaker Card :D

I have always wanted a sewing machine to sew on cards, and this mini sewing machine from HTVRONT is perfect! So simple to use with only having the very basics that you need :D And I thought I'd have a go at making a sewn vellum shaker card, as we all know vellum is always hard to attach without being able to see the adhesive, so sewing is perfect! And I finished the card with some gorgeous Spellbinders dies, love those Bottle Brush trees! :D Hope you liked the card! Christine xxx

Happy Hanukkah :D

One of My lovely Patrons, Julia, challenged me to make her a Hanukkah card, so here it is, my first even Hanukkah card! I really enjoyed looking through my stash to see what I could use to make my own Menorah and it turned out circle dies and the Sizzix Infinite Doodles were the perfect sets to make it! :D

Embossed Christmas Cheer :D

I Love Creative Expressions 3D Embossing Folders and most of them now come with Companion Stencils too! Anyway, I made a card similar to this for the launch, and really loved the subtle colours, so just had to recreate it in a video :D Hope you like it! Christine xxx

Woodware Christmas Tree-O :D

I adore Francoise's Christmas Collections every year, well all her collections really, but this video using some of her newest Christmas stamps to make some quick and cute Christmas cards! I love how stamping in Lost Shadow Oxide over the top of Copic colouring gives a subtle pattern, and her Distressed Edges are just fab!! :D Enjoy, Christine xxx

Candy Cane Wishes :D

The Christmas Collection Gift Boxes make wonderful shaped boxes, but as usual you can use the dies for your cards too, and I just adore this candy cane and the little 3D bow too :D And I thought I'd team it up with a Sentiment from the Candy Cane Christmas Sentiment Stamp Set :D xxx

Christmas Badges :D

I had so much fun making some Halloween badges with my HTVRONT Button Press, that I just had to make some Christmas ones too! :D I used a bunch of Jane's Doodles stamps from Creative Expressions for all the images and had fun colouring with my Copics, then I die-cut them with a circle die and pressed them into badges :D
