Happy birthday

I have blog candy here - why not take a look, tell others and link to try and win it.

For this card I used some Anna Griffin background paper on to which I layered a scalloped circle with DCWV flittered card cut on the Scan n Cut. The epoxy stickers were from The Works and the chipboard greeting from stash from long ago.

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper July 2018 challenge

I have blog candy here - why not take a look, tell others and link to try and win it.

This is my design for my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper July 2018 challenge. If you make anything that includes some patterned paper you can link your entries and you might be the randomly chosen winner of lovely Love to Craft Papillion papers and some extras as well. Please click on the challenge link to find out more and join in the fun.

One Papillion paper was used for the background, another being die cut with a Nellie frame die and matted on to the Love to Craft doily from the Papillion range.I inked the lovely Fun Stamps Fuchsia round with memento tuxedo black and coloured with spectrum noir pens, die cutting with a Nellie Snellen circle and mounting on to the other die cut. The butterflies and the added adhesive pearls were also from the Papillion range. The greeting across the top is a lovely foiled piece from a Hunkydory kit (photo doesn't do it justice).

We three kings ...

Another CAS Christmas card made with an offcut piece of chocolate brown mirror card run through the todo with the Star of wonder embossing folder by Die'sire. The topper was rescued from an old card - too good to put in the recycling bin. There is just a hint of brown with glitter here and there that tones with the piece of embossing, on to a white card blank.

Home for Christmas

This quick and easy card has no patterned paper, but an offcut strip of purple mirror card embossed with the lovely Star of wonder embossing folder by Die'sire. It's hard to get a photo showing it without getting glare.The card blank is a pale lilac.

The centre piece is from a Kanban kit purchased long ago. The photo doesn't show it, but the inside of the frame has an acetate dome to give depth.  And the houses inside the frame are glittered, but, once again, it doesn't show. Greeting is a silver peel off.

I bring you good news ...

... of great joy

Another quick and easy Christmas card using Kanban papers (the top one is foiled, but can't get it to show on the photo). The image that I've printed out is one that I've had for some time and I can't remember where it came from. If anyone recognises, please let me know.
