Snow Place Christmas Cards

Even though we have sunny Christmas's in Australia, I still think the "Snow Place" stamp set and "Snow Friends" framelit dies make cute Christmas cards. One day I would like to go overseas to experience a white Christmas.

 

Perfect Pines Christmas Cards

Today I wanted to share a couple of very simple Christmas cards, made using the "Perfect Pines" framelit dies and the "Peaceful Pines" stamp set. The top card is all about displaying the pretty paper using the pines die and adding some bling, ribbon, star and a sentiment. The bottom card is the same except I used a stamp instead of paper to display the Christmas tree.

Update

Well...it has been a couple of months since I have posted anything on my blog, so I thought it was time to get back into it again for another year!

Thank you to those who came to visit me at the Etsy Made Local event at the end of November last year, I really appreciate your support. We had lots of customers come through the doors and I got to meet lots of interesting people and am looking forward to the next event.

Sprinkles of Life Card

Today I am sharing another Sprinkles of Life card, this post is showcasing what you can do with the Tree stamp and a bunch of apples and flowers. For other Sprinkles of Life ideas, please check out my first and second post.

Festive Flurry Circle Flip Card

Today I am sharing a card that was made in one of my club nights last year using the "circle card thinlits" and the retired stamp set "festive flurry". I used the video tutorial by Mary Fish to extend my card with a pocket at the back for a gift card.

Boys Birthday Card

This was the card I made for my nephew's 3rd Birthday. The die set to make the truck is not SU, however the rest of the products used were. I love how clean and simple the card turned out.

Wine & Champagne Christmas Tags

If you love giving wine or champagne to others for Christmas gifts, try adding a trendy tag to brighten the gift up.

Sprinkles of Life Card

In my first Sprinkles of Life post I showcased 4 different styled cards, a cup cake card, an stacked ice cream card, a tree branch with a bird card and a basket of flowers card. This post I am showcasing what you can do with the clouds and hopefully this card will brighten up anyone's day.

Happy Birthday with a Cherry on Top

This card was made using a retired hostess stamp set called "A Cherry on Top" from a couple of years ago. I liked the idea of Penny Smiley's card and decided to do something similar.

Sprinkles of Life Cards

The new "sprinkles of life" stamp set and the coordinating punch is so versatile and I love that the options are endless when creating your masterpieces with this set. Best of all Stampin Up will donate $3.00 from every stamp set sold to the Ronald McDonald House Charity.....what could possibly be better than that!

I will be showing off plenty more cards made from this set soon.....so please keep checking back.

Heart to Heart Card

I love the colours in this card, they really jump out on the crumb cake background. I cased the card from one of my favourite designers Steffi Helmschrott. The border was drawn freehand, the coloured shapes were made using the "heart to heart" punch and folded in half. Lastly a sentiment, flower and rhinestones were added to finish the card.

Blossom Petal Builder Card

This card is based on a similar blossom petal builder card I did some time ago. The layout is identical, but the colours are different.

Great Birthday Cards for Boys

I am sharing some card ideas to use for Boys cards. Sometimes it can be a struggle to come up with something suitable for a young lad as so many products on the market are aimed at females instead of males.

Firstly, I am sharing a card that I cased from Heather Klump, this card is suitable for boys of all ages, just by changing the number.

Secondly, another card that is suitable for boys of all ages.

Below is a pocket card is the perfect card to use if you are wanting to give a gift voucher for the gift. You could also fold some money in half and stick that in the pocket instead of a gift voucher. I have made many of these cards over the years and they are very suitable for teenagers, and you can change the colours to suit a female or even make a Christmas version.

Lastly, a very easy grunge looking birthday card perfect for a young teenage boy. The stamp sets used were: simply stars, gorgeous grunge and sassy salutations for the sentiment.

Congratulations Card

Below is a nice simple congratulations card using Stampin Up's "Baby We've Grown" stamp set & "Pretty Print" embossing folder. I used "White Baker's Twine" for the stitching and the "Signo White Pen" for the owl's eyes.....to make them stand out!

This card is pretty much the same only different colours and a birthday sentiment were used instead.
