Asstd Christmas Quick cards

 Hi Everyone, a few cards to show you today, lots of piccies! These were quick cards for me.

My first is a card that I printed from Photoshop, a ready made image. When I had it printed I stamped the sentiment and embossed it.

This an origami Christmas tree, I bought a cheap pad of origami paper and took it to the Craft Club, this was included in the front of the pad, amongst others to make, glad to say they enjoyed doing this.

I had read on Beccy's Place blog that she had enlarged an image to cover an A4 piece of card to make 4 cards from it, so I decided to pinch that idea from her and I made this card. 

It was printed out from Photoshop, then cut into 4, I added them to 4 ready made cards and followed the outline of the poinsettia with a glue pen and the surround of the cut piece of card, to make a sparkly one layer card that had the sentiment on the front, as I had designed in PS. The image is ready coloured for quick cards. 

this is the whole image used on the 4 cards.

Christmas tree and embossing

 Hi Everyone, it's such a busy time isn't it? I think I may be getting to the end of things, lots of cooking still to do though and last minute shopping next week. Then it's, if I haven't got it, we'll have to go without! I think I'm thinking of catering for the numbers we used to have, silly isn't it? At least there won't be much shopping after Christmas. 

Anyhow here's some cards I did recently.

I embossed the card, and added a cut file Christmas tree, I went over the embossing with gold glitter pen and stamped the sentiment on the tree. I thought maybe the all white was a bit stark and added some green DI ink, then to match the paper, I edged it in purple. I decided to go around the edges of the embossed image with a glue pen and add gold sparkle. I wonder which you prefer?

Christmas Poem

 Hello Everyone, I hope you are in good spirits? I think you will, if, you read through my post, at least I hope you will!

I have finished and posted all my cards, however I have received a few that weren't on my list, so back to it again! Pressies are mostly done, I hope!

Anyhow on to why you are here.

My card is one, that on a day I had no mojo, was busy and had to get a couple of Christmas cards done, I decided to go to my Silhouette files and I decided to do this, it was just cut the card, add a white card layer behind the cut image, then add silver glitter, a few gems and they were done. I certainly helped with mojo too.

Now on to something I think you will like and have a chuckle at. Last year I had a few poems by Gill Reed, my SiL's Sister, she has a gift of putting words together and recently my SiL sent me this of Gill's. I love it and I added a few images and a  gradient, to help show it off which I hope Gill will approve of, I have asked if I could share it with you. Please enjoy. 

If you want to see the rest of Gills poems, you should be able to see them by clicking on her name in the label links at the end of this post.

Stamping and watercolouring!

Hi Everyone, my card for

https://themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.com/

I  had a looky through my files, then the stamps I have and decided on the bird on a spade handle! It took me a while to put it together as the theme is snow, so I tried, what a lot of you do, and watercolour brushed the background. I have to say I am pretty pleased with myself, it's something I have tried over and over to do and failed, but it seems to have worked on this background, I even masked the bird and handle off, to do it. I may make a stamper after all - well, maybe! I can only hope.

I then decided to add a snow background with a stencil I have, but it didn't work, so I used a glue pen through the holes and added silver glitter, I thought it may have spoiled it, so I added white pen onto the glitter, mmmm! it seems to have hidden a bit of glitter. I cut it all out using a die added it to silver mirror card and it was done.

(The card looks curved as I hadn't flattened it in my Calibur, before taking the photo.)
