Snowflake and Wondrous Wreath

Hello there, so glad you dropped by

This is the last of my posts for this year, which will finish off my Christmas cards for the year. For the first card I did a mixture of stamps and computer generated sentiments which worked quite well together.  This is the second snowflake card and I used red and white instead of silver and white this time.

 

The materials used are: 

Inks: VersaMark

Card stock: Whisper White, Brushed silver

Stamp sets: For the Holidays, Sister (computer generated)

Embossing Folders: Perfect Polka Dots, Northern Flurry

Thinlit Dies: Snowflake Card

Framelits: Square Collection

Embossing Powder: Cherry Cobbler

Ribbon: Taffeta ⅛ Real Red

Accessories: Red gems (old stash)

 

The second card is the one I liked the most for this year. I did three of these for my children and their partners and I think they were all pleased with them. Both the sentiments for this card were computer generated.

 

 

The materials used are: 

Inks: Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Pistachio Pudding

Card Stock: Whisper White, Brushed Gold, Card base (old Stash)

Stamp Sets: Wondrous Wreath

Framelits: Apothecary Accents, Wonderful Wreath, Bitty Banners

Punches: Corner (Retired)

Embossing Folders: Perfect Polka Dots

Accessories: Crystal Effects

Sentiments: Computer generated 

 

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year xxx

Will be back again next year with more cards

Snowflake

Hello there, so glad you dropped by

Today's card is one I cased from the Kreative Kristie blog, when I've spoken to my friend who is my fountain of knowledge on all things bloggy, I'll try to do links to other blogs so you can see the originals. But that won't be till after Christmas now.  I do love the way this turned out, it's all shimmery and glittery in real life.
