Case it

 Hello again, 

Well, today has brought us to another bonus challenge during the month of holiday cards challenge at Beccy’s Place, we had to CAS(E) ourselves, I found one of the scrap cards I made last year a quick and rather clean looking card (for me anyway) and decided to case it. All of the papers came from my scrap boxes and the image is one of the many I have had coloured ready to go.... 

Here is the 2017 card:-

S is for so many things

Hello again, 

I am back with another card for this years month of holiday cards with Beccy from Beccy’s Place, today the challenge is to make a card using the letter ‘S’ I had planned on making a card using one of my found coloured images (Santa), but then digging through my supplies I rediscovered my swaggie die, so today my card has Silhouette, sunset, Swaggie (swagman), Santa, sleigh, stars, Southern Cross and Sentiment.

I made a distress oxide ink background spraying lightly with water, then inked the bottom with Black soot ink, die cut the swaggie and Santa using some double sided adhesive sheet, added them to the card, heat embossed the sentiment from Kaisercraft in white embossing powder and added the panel to a card covered in Kaisercraft Basecoat corrugated iron. I would have loved using a die I saw recently which is Aussie made with Kanagroos pulling Santa’s sleigh, but will have to save it for next year… when I added the southern cross to the card with the star stickers I realised one needed to be slightly smaller, I had no more tiny gold stars and used my hand held star punch to make a tiny star from the middle sized one you can see, fiddly but it did the job…

Here is my card:-

What I used:-

White 12.6x17.8cm card blank (5x7”)

Kaisercraft Basecoat paper

Crafts 4 U Aussie Camper die

M is for Monkey

Hello again, 

Still working my way (out of order) due to my multiple medical appointments that knock me around, on this Beccy’s Place month of Holiday cards, I've rewound the alphabet to the letter ‘M’ (I still haven’t done ‘A’ yet…) I have gone with M is for Monkey!

I am still undecided on the striped paper, it doesn’t seem at all Christmassy but there it was with all the others in the paper pad. The silver stars in the top corner are just part of the sheet.

Here is my card:-

What I used:-

12.6x17.8cm Card blank

White card

Unbranded paper pad from (Kmart) 

LMMS Star Chester image 

Kaisercraft nesting hexagon

Kaisercraft sentiment stamp ‘Sentiments Traditional’
