Happy birthday!

Hello,
This is a quick and simple birthday card I made using an embossing folder which came free with a magazine. As it was quite a fancy folder I decided to keep the decoration simple so I just highlighted the embossed detail with gilding wax, matted and layered it on to some gold mirror board and then on to a cream card blank. The sentiment is a Craftwork Cards one and the cream mat is from a Tonic decorative wreath die set.

Christmas Candle

Hello,

This was a quite quick and easy Christmas card to make. It's Tattered Lace music backing paper matted and layered on gold paper and then on to a Kraft Card base. The candle is cut using the Tonic Rococo candle die cut in kraft card and the same gold paper then layered drop shadowed. The base is a Tonic Swirly Frame die cut in gold and cream card. The Merry Christmas Washi tape has been in my stash for ages, I put it on cream card and then layered on to gold card. I finished it off with some gold glitter on the candle flame.

Gingerbread cookies

Hello,

Another Christmas card done! This one is on Kraft card, which I wasn't sure about to start with but now I really like using for certain things. I used Tattered Lace gingham backing paper and also for the "Nordic style" trim, with white and dark red mats. The letters and numbers are all from a Tattered Lace die. The Gingerbread men are cut using a Tonic die, as are the small circles, I think he's such a happy looking gingerbread man!
