Joy to the World Christmas Card

Over the coming weeks I will be sharing many Christmas cards with you.

I wanted to come up with a design using the large letter framelits as I haven't used these dies as yet. I decided to make a Christmas flower using the "Reason for the Season" stamp set and coordinating punch to use as the letter "O". Now there are not many 3 or 4 letter Christmas words to choose from that have the letter "O" in them. The two that came to my mind were "joy" or "noel" and as you can see, I decided to use the word "joy".

Lucky for me I purchased the "Jolly Christmas" stamp set last year, so I was able to use the "to the world" stamp which was the perfect sentiment for my card. Lastly, I added some rhinestones in various sizes to finish off the card.

Candy Cane Lane Christmas Birdhouse Card

I am sharing a card that I made using the "Candy Cane Lane" DSP. This is my favourite Christmas paper in the holiday catalogue. I fussy cut around one of the houses from the paper, which took a little time and was quite fiddly to do.

The card was based on a previous birdhouse card I made some time ago which you can view here. I enjoyed putting this card together and am very happy with the end result.

Christmas is just around the corner..... and I have finally finished my new "Spinner Shaker Card" tutorial for the occasion, please visit my Etsy Shop for more details.

The card can be made to suit many different occasions, such as a birthday, halloween and even engagements and weddings. I hope to make a birthday and wedding card with this tutorial soon, so please check back later to see my creations.

Cascade Cards

I think this style of card suits those special occasions, such as weddings, engagements, anniversaries and important birthdays, like a 18th, 21st, or 40th etc.

You can find my instructions on how to make these cascade cards under "My Tutorials" at the bottom of the page. Please note the measurements are for Australian paper sizes only (not American).

I made this Christmas cascade card in one of my upline classes.

Here are two more examples for 40th Birthdays! 

Beautiful Bright Handmade Gerbera Flowers

I am sharing some bright coloured handmade gerbera flowers in a black vase that I made some time ago using Shelley Bohan's tutorial. Unfortunately Shelley's blog no longer exists, so no one will be able to view her tutorial anymore.

The guess the best thing about handmade flowers, is they will never die and you can choose a colour that suits your decor.
