Winter Solstice stag

Hello,

this is my DT card for the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge for November, where the theme is anything goes with the option of Winter Solstice.

I started with an 8 x 8 Kraft card blank, I used Limetree's Evergreen card and Cream Shimmer card, one of Tonic's Craft Perfect green cards and Kraft card. The background paper is from Trimcraft's Golden Winter pad.

I used Tonic dies: Layering Circles for the green mat, Yuletide Greetings for the wreath and Autumnal Oak for the leaves. The green branches were cut using Spellbinder's Build a Wreath, and I added green Wink of Stella to the branches, although it doesn't really show in the photo.

The stag was stamped and cut using a free gift from Simply Cards & papercraft magazine, and the sentiment was also a free gift from Papercraft Essentials. I finished it off with some red pearls to represent holly berries.

I hope you like my card, and that you will join us at the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge this month. If you've time to leave a comment that would be great.

Kraft card butterfly birthday

Hello,

I wasn't sure about Kraft card to start with but having used it a few times now I'm starting to see how good it can be.

This is a birthday card I've made for a friend. I used an 8 x 8 Kraft card blank and put a black mat onto it. I've just bought a Kraft card pad with all the papers having a black pattern printed on them, so used that for the next mat. I'd nipped into The Works to kill some time and came out with a bag full of goodies - as you do!

I then die cut 4 square black mats and white layers using my Tonic Layering dies. The butterflies were cut from red card using the Tonic Rococo Butterfly Sprig butterfly, and the red sentiment is from the Tonic Miniature Moments Sentiments dies. These panels were added using foam pads to give a bit of dimension.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you like the card, and if you've time to leave a comment I'd really appreciate it
