Advent calendar


Here is my advent calendar this year nice  2 1/2 x 2 1/2 square box so lots of room for chocolate or small gifts. I also brought a 4 tier stand to display them and a turntable to be able to turn them round. To see how to make this click the link  https://youtu.be/DUyecqzOof0

I have also started a second one in glitter card see picture below.



Here are the glitter boxes I have started as you can see box 8 needs the glue gun as glue and red tape are not strong enough to seal glitter card.

Noel Card

 


This is a very quick and easy card to make the card is 5 7/8 x 5 7/8 I then cut a mat 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and then took a piece of black and white card and die cut them with stitched edge dies.

My White die cut piece I have stamped Noel onto this was free from a magazine called Creative Stamping issue 75 the same magazine a my card on Monday .

I then coloured my Noel using my Tri Blend pens.

So a simple monochrome card with a hint of colour.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Card

 


I just love how this card turned out not done a tall card for ages. So I got an A4 card and cut it to 8 1/4 x 8 1/4 and scored at 4 1/8. I then cut a mat to 4 x 8 and then I used my new dies from Heffy Doodle.

I die cut the frame in white and popped out the white piece then die cut it again in blue and the put the 1st stitched edge over to get the stitched edge.

I then stamped my cute Mousse , Snowman and penguin I got these stamps free on a magazine called Creative Stamping Issue 75 this is an old magazine from In2Craft they had sent me an email saying there were some old magazine reduced so I had a look and got three this is one of those magazines and with it  I got an A4 sheet of stamps with this magazine and another and the third one had dies. I will be using these at another date.

The sentiments are from an old Stampin' Up! stamp set called Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

I have coloured my images using my Tri Blend Pens.

We wish You A Merry Christmas Cards

 


You can't really see here but I have heat embossed my sentiment so it is really shiny and I also stamped it onto centura pearl card and matted it onto a black 6 x 6 card.



I did the same here red embossed on a black piece of card matted onto centura pearl mat and then onto a black 6 x 6 card. It's so glossy .

Christmas and New Year and We Wish You A merry Christmas cards

 


I am loving these big stamps here I have a what said was 6 x 6 card but it's slightly smaller my mat of stripy card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and I have used a piece of white card to stamp my sentiment on and the used a rectangle stitched die to cut it out.

 I think the stitched edging looks better than just been a basic square.

This is a very quick and easy card to make.




All change, change the mat the ink and even the sentiment so quick and easy and yet another great sentiment stamp.

Butterfly Collage Cards

 

Yet another new stamp again A6 Black base card and a White mat stamped with my Butterfly collage stamp and painted the different sections with a few different colours. This to me is a vintage look. I have also rubbed distress glaze over my image making it waterproof and given it a nice sheen.



Card two I decided to brush my colours across and make them bright giving them a funky look and I love how this card has turned out.

Enjoy Life's Journey

 


Here is another card made using the free stamps from my magazine Simply Cards and Paper Crafts issue 207 here is the link direct to the magazine https://tidd.ly/3fzIU6L  

I have took an A6 base card in a pale blue/green colour and then placed a strip of dark blue card across the middle. I then took a piece of white card and stamped my ship image using a black ink and then the sentiment in the top left corner and put it altogether.

A very quick and easy card.

Enjoy Life's Journey

 

While shopping I decided to have a look at the magazines and I was drawn to  this lovely seahorse die I didn't really look at the free stamps so brought the magazine just for the seahorse. While having a browse  through I saw this card so though I'll have a go at making it. I used my own sizing I did use the sizes given next to the card. So all in all the free stamps are also very nice.


I took a 8 x 8 card and then stamped all my images and matted them and die cut the Seahorse. So my card is slightly different to the magazines.


The magazine was Simply Cards and Paper crafts issue 207. Here is the link to the magazine https://tidd.ly/3fzIU6L

Happy Crafting.
