A Vintage Christmas

Hello again…

Well, I thought I had until tomorrow to get it done and posted. I decided to give myself a challenge to use some of my ‘vintage’ Christmas products of which I have many, some were gifts, others from magazines. I bought my first pack of doilies, after starting my card as I thought it could do with a bit of something, I was glad that I found a packet of small ones as I had been looking around for some for the last few months and could only find 15cm+ sized ones.

Here’s my card and Wine bottle label...

What I used-

KaiserCraft ‘Yuletide’ paper

KaiserCraft ‘Christmas’ Paper pad

KaiserCraft ‘Christmas Collections’ paper

Kraft cardstock

Square card blank 14.5cm (Paper Mill)

Paper doily

Scrap Silver paper from stash

Lace from stash

Kraft gift tags

Adhesive rhinestones

MFT Fancy Flourish

Circle Dies (for bottle tag)

Stanley Knife and Metal Ruler

Joy

Hello again…

Today I am sharing my latest make for the current Case-ing Christmas Challenge; this week Daen’ys was the designer of the case card, which I have to admit although I came up with multiple ideas I had trouble getting it to look just right, I ended up taking my inspiration from the layout with a little tweak, Daen’ys colour palette and using birds as my focus.

I have used a background stamp for the first time, even managing to pattern match to complete the length of the card despite the length of my acrylic block! The birds were cut out of white coral textured paper, deep red hand-made wood textured paper and pale blue card which I added texture to with my Swiss dot embossing folder, rather than running through my machine I pressed firmly down over the bird a few times. Unfortunately both the coral and wood textured papers were squashed flat whilst die cutting :-(

Using up the left over printed background and a few more scraps I also created another gift tag, turning the Madeleine Bird into a robin.

What I used for my Card:-

White Card blank 10.5cm x 15cm

Kraft Card ‘Weave’ texture

Frost White Colorbox ink pad

Kaisercraft ‘Morocco’ background stamp

Memory box die ‘Madeleine Bird’

Blue, Red and white scraps of paper and glitter card

Ranger Liquid Pearls ‘Silver Pearl’

MFT- Pierced Fishtail

Sentiment from Pink Petticoat 

For tag:-

Leftover card from above project

Fiskars Corner Rounder

Brown paper and red glitter scraps 

Scrap of paper lace (self-adhesive)

Scrap red ribbon

Hole punch

Ranger Liquid Pearls ‘Ruby Red’

Twine
