Berry Christmas

As I said previously, during the past couple of weeks, in between doing other cards and blogging etc, I've been making simple A5 cards from some of the two kits, using A4 decorated or coloured card as the card blank, using toppers and mainly decorating with various washi tapes that I already had in my Christmas stash.

So here is another set depicting berries and baubles.

These are for:

Christmas birds

A while ago I bought two Christmas kits from Create and Craft so that I could make quite a number of cards without too much time and fuss as I will need a lot to sell and also for me to send. One kit was called Very Berry and the other Wild Winter. In each of them there are various A4 pieces of card as well as many toppers of various sizes.

Over the past couple of weeks, in between doing other cards and blogging etc, I've been making simple A5 cards from some of the two kits, using A4 decorated or coloured card as the card blank, using toppers and mainly decorating with various washi tapes that I already had in my Christmas stash.

So, using the largest of the toppers I've made forty cards altogether, in groups of five similar cards with the same sort of topper.

Here are the first ones, with birds using a couple of plain A4 coloured cards folded as A5 blanks and three patterned.

Horses and dogs

This is a commissioned card made today for a friend to send to someone who loves horses and dogs for her 70th birthday.

I used a piece of Hunkydory spotted card to make the A5 card blank. The papers were from PDA card and craft (long ago - bought lots and love using them). I printed the greeting only to a piece of Hunkydory card, shades of beige, quickly pouring on gold detail embossing powder and heating before die cutting and embossing using a todo label die, with the next size up to put behind it.

I added two bands of white with black and gold spots, the Jolee felt dog and glittered paw prints and the little dog's head.


I stamped the greeting inked with versafine black onyx and embossed with detail gold for the inside of the card, die cutting and embossing with a larger todo label die, matting this on to the insert. It's a shame that the photo doesn't show how golden it is irl.
