I took a base A6 card in black then a piece of white card slightly smaller and stamped my glasses all over then added the little star in the free spaces I did this all in Yellow nice and bright.
I the took a scrap of black card and die cut a scalloped circle to mat my white sentiment onto I used a stitched die for this I placed this on my black scalloped mat just using double sided tape and then place foam pads under the black scalloped mat to give a raised effect.
I stamped my glasses on a piece of white card stock and coloured with my tri blend pens. I placed this onto a piece of pink card I used foam pads to give a raised effect as I did my sentiment. I have then placed on to a black base card.
A card appropriate for Christmas eve enjoy and have a lovely day tomorrow.
Happy Crafting

I have taken a white piece of card and stamped my Seahorse three times and coloured then using my Tri Blend pens. I then die cut it using my stitch dies and then used the next size up die for my blue glitter card and them mounted it onto a black card. To finish it of I added a little gem for the eyes.
There out again Wonky stitch dies a very quick and effect card to make with some simple die cutting and layering. I used pink and purples so this would be suitable for the ladies.
This card is made with Products from a Crafters Companion box kit it had everything to make to card apart from the ink I used and the adhesive.
The kit for these items was number 20 Layering stencils.
I picked a base card then 2 purple layers of card then a piece of white card which I then used 3 different stencils and 3 ink colours to create my background. I then took another piece of white card and stamped my sentiment. I then added pearls to two of the corners and flowers on the other I used my ink on a dauber to add some pink to the petal edges of my flowers. I also daub round the edge of the piece of card my sentiment is on.
I am really pleased with how this card turned out.
Great way to use up all those 6 x 6 papers I have loads and yes they are great for matting and layering but I found these two ways to make cards using the 6 x 6 papers.
My first card:
You will need 2 6 x 6 cards and a piece of 6 x 6 double sided patterned paper and a piece of white card.
White pieces need to be 5 1/4 a 1 1/4 you will need 6 pieces then you need 6 pieces of patterned paper measuring 5 x 1 your sentiment piece will be White 3 1/4 x 1 1/4 patterned piece 3 x 1 piece to stamp sentiment on will be 2 3/4 x 3/4.
Second card:
Base 6 x 6 white mat is 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 your patterned piece will be 5 x 5 these need to be cut diagonally to make your triangle pieces which you will mat onto your white triangle pieces. Your sentiment piece will be white 1 1/4 x 3 1/4 patterned piece 1 x 5 and white piece to stamp on will be 4 3/4 x 3/4.

I have used a 6 x 6 base card in white then I matted it with a lovely piece of Christmas patterned paper, I then took a black piece of card and then a white piece of card stamped my sentiment in black ink and die cut it with a stitched edge and a hole die I then put them together and then placed them on foam pads and then placed onto the card.
Love these big sentiment stamps from Crafters Companion.

I can now share this as it has arrived in the Netherlands .
A base A6 card with a white mat then a mat of heart paper and then I took a piece of white card stamped my sentiment and then my rings in black ink. I decided to die cut with a stitched edge die and raise this to add a little dimension.
This next card was created after seeing my waste piece from the above card. Here is the card and I will explain how the card came to be.
So I cut the 4th hexagon took another piece of white card and placed it underneath and got some stamps my Reindeer, Snowman, Penguin and Elf that would fit into the hexagon.
Out came the Tri Blend pens to colour them and I stamped Two Merry and a Christmas cut them down to fit in the middle pieces.
I then placed foam strips all around the edge and the middle and placed it over my images and then onto a 6 x 6 card.
So don't just throw the scraps away you maybe able to make a card like I have here.

Lisa other sets of dies think I may have to get those too.
I took a base A6 card and matted it with a piece of patterned paper. Then I took a piece of white card and stamped my three images . I then punched them out and added some colour but colouring a few parts on each image I have placed them onto foam pads to raise them from the card.
Lastly I stamped my Happy Halloween and cut the ends to make it look like a banner and raised this with foam pads too.
I love these Banner Alphabet dies there just so cute and different.
I have taken an A6 card in a dark purple colour then matted it with a smaller lilac gingham patterned paper then taken a lighter purple card and a very light purple card and used my John next door circle layering dies and die cut all three pieces and then cut it in half making a half moon shape.
I then used rainbow card and black card to die cut my banners and banner letters and then I have raised then using foam pads.
I took a nice 6 x 6 black base card and matted it with some grey striped paper then I took my new John next door dies and die cut all three square dies bottom mat black straight edge then a white card with both the stitched edge die and the I will call it dotted edge ( the little punch holes) This piece I raised with foam tape. Then I used double sided tape to adhere this to the card. I then stamped a Happy Birthday and die cut it my banner die and used foam pads behind.
