Festive Flurry, Christmas Messages

I used Heat & Stick powder and Dazzling Diamonds to add bling to this card, and gave it a trendy twist using the Chalk Talk framelits die to jazz up the greeting from Christmas Messages. We have new Silver Metallic Encore Ink, which takes forever and a day to dry and prone to being smudged, […]

Joyful Christmas

My colour combination here is Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Gumball Green and Summer Starfruit, the less traditional pointsettia also comes in this pale green. The stamp set is Joyful Christmas – I paired it with the new Pretty Print TIEF and distressed the edges, and layered it with two separately stamped pointsettias which were then […]

Calm Christmas

REMEMBERING CHRISTMAS

It’s difficult to know which to showcase first as there are so many choices  in the new Autumn/Winter catalogue!  I chose this one called “Remembering Christmas” as it is probably one that challenges one’s creative juices.
