Love Christmas

Hi everyone, it’s Brenda again with another Christmas card for you.

This colour combination has really captured me this year and I have made several cards in this palette.

The fabulous occasions found relatives pack by Tim Holtz has these gorgeous vintage photos and I have combined this one with the pediments die and the festive berries distress glitter. The clear domes are from my own supplies and have pieces of the merriment papers glued underneath.

The love banner was made using a stamp and die from the framed silhouettes Framelits set and I stamped the word using my own small stick letter stamps. Christmas comes from the holiday words script thinlits dies using the stick it paper to adhere it to the card.

The lamp post was cut last year and not used and the leaves are from the festive greenery strip die. The trellis framework die-cut creates some interest and texture in the background.

How are you doing with your Christmas cards? I still have quite a few to make so I am sure you will be seeing more of them from me before the big day.

Thanks for looking.

Vintage Santa plus...

How many Christmas cards do you make? Some of us that make cards for friends, family and charity make literally hundreds! Here's a quick vintage Christmas card for you to try...

Use brown card or paper for the base and any piece of Christmas design backing paper for the mat. I used the new Ornate frame by Tim Holtz to cut the frame from Kraft card and edged it with Pewter Treasure Gold. I cut another frame from white card and used the centre as the stamping mat and stamped the Santa onto it using a Ranger Coffee Archival ink pad...

 

The embellishment added to the frame has been made with Brenda Walton's new 'Poinsettia swirl' Sizzlits die cut from white card and silver mirricard.

Finally, a silver hand-tied bow finished it off - a double bow...

More soon, enjoy your weekend.

Versatility reigns!

Yes, here is another die that can be used not just at Christmas, but at any time of the year - Brenda Walton's Sizzlit die called 'Holiday greenery'.

This mid-week quickie was made with a tri-fold aperture card with a doily under the aperture. The flowers and leaves have been cut using standard white card, silver and gold mirricard and just layered over the top. I can add a Christmas sentiment, birthday or any other to make use of this beautiful set!

More soon, have a great day.
