Sympathy Cards

Unfortunately I have had to make two sympathy cards this week which is not something anyone likes doing.

I decided to make something very much "white on white".  I have used my nestabilities pendant dies to cut out two sets of outers and inners from pearlised white card.  I then stuck some hand made silver fleck paper onto white card and die cut another set.  Out of what was left of this piece I die cut two corners.  I then used silicone glue to layer up the pendant die cuts with the silver fleck on top.  I added the corners and a ribbon.  The sentiment is a rubber stamp which I heat embossed with silver detail e/p.

Die Cut Dreams "Snowmen" Challenge

The challenge this week from Die Cut Dreams is Snowmen.  I haven't got any snowmen stamps so went looking through my digistamp files to see what I could find.

In the end I found two images and couldn't decide which one to use so, in the end, used both!!  The first one is a snowman iceskating and can be found here.  The second one was a pre coloured image of a snowman sitting with a bird on a branch which can be found here.

I coloured the skating snowman with ProMarkers and added some glitter glue for highlights.  Matted and layered onto nesties.  I made an easel card and covered it with paper from My Mind's Eye Glitter stack and then punched a border using a Martha Stewart edger.  The addition of a ribbon and sentiment finished the card.  With the snowman and bird I matted and latered onto nesties and added some Polar White flowersoft to the snow and then some glitter glue for highlights.  Again I used paper from My Mind's Eye for the backing.  I then cut a strip of navy cardstock and put it through my Big Shot with a Crafts Too embossing folder and matted this onto silver mirri.  The sentiment is from the Papermania Silent Night set, silver embossed and matted onto silver mirri.  A bow and flower were added.

Thanks for looking.

Easter card

Just finished this Easter card using a Sarah Kay free digistamp, coloured in using Promarkers. Matted and layered onto SU card using Labels 8 nesties with a nesties heart border and ribbon. The gingham paper is from my stash and the SU yellow card has been embossed using a Crafts Too embossing folder. The corner swirls are also part of a nesties borderabilities. The flowers are held together with a brad and fern leaves are from my L-Em rock fern punch. The sentiment was computer generated and matted using my SU oval and scalloped oval punches. Final touches are some gems and Diamond Glaze on chicks and hat.

Pendant nesties

Thought I would try out my new pendant and border nesties that arrived recently. The border ones are lovely in that you get two - one cuts and embosses the edge of the card and the other one is identical except that it cuts and embosses the whole border so you can decoupage the cut out border on the cut and embossed edge of the card. The pendant has been cut out once as a whole piece and once without the centre and the centre on its own and then folded and decoupaged with a button in the centre.

Thanks for looking.
