Another Christmas card

2011-11-19T09:37:00.001-08:00

I am just so taken with the new magnolia Christmas stamps. So here is another card made using them. I printed the music sheet tore round the edges and coloured it with distress inks. The lap post is a Marianne design die can be seen here. Image coloured with my promarkers. Sentiment had been die cut and stamped with a magnolia stamp.

Pile it on = Traditional Christmas (The first Noel is very traditional to me)
Hooked on Craft = Something punched or die cut
Frosted Designs = Die cuts

Blue Christmas Card

2011-10-23T10:17:00.000-07:00

The challenge this week at CMLI is blue christmas. I have just got some of the new Christmas Tildas and this one was just screaming to be made into a blue card. I have used Nellie Snellen (border) and Marianne design creatable (Tilda is on )dies as well they are available here The papers are from my stash. The sentiment is a LOTV. Sentiment and Tilda are coloured with my promarkers

I am entering this into the I love promarkers challenge = Cute well nothing cuter than Tilda in my opinion

Starting my Christmas cards

2011-10-18T13:16:00.000-07:00

I treated myself to some of the new Christmas magnolia rubber stamps and was keen to use them. I used the something for you Tilda coloured with promarkers. The clock is a tim holtz die. The sentiment is LOTV and I have found the perfect die for cutting them out its a Nellie Snellen die and it fits the circle perfect and as you can see its in the right place I find it much easier than a punch. The flower is a marianne design creatable.

I am entering my card in the following challenges.
