Simply Cards & Papercraft 181 - Driving Home For Christmas

Hi Everybody,

I really enjoyed creating the cards with the free gift in this months Simply Cards & Papercraft 181 magazine

These trucks are all stuck in a traffic jam as they try to get home for their Christmas ... loaded with tress and presents.

It will be on sale 23 rd August and so keep a look out for it if this is what you would like.

With this months magazine there is a really thick paper pack of sentiments, banners, Christmas Scenes as well as lovely papers that you can use all year round and not just for Christmas.

Christmas Snowman

Hi Everybody,

I have had some fun creating these characters from my Snowman die to add to my Christmas cards

And I would like to encourage you to play and see what you come up with.

It doesn't matter that you can't draw ... neither can I ... but you can add some expressions to the snowman die cut to make it look different.

This crew are all singing a carol for you and it doesn't matter that they aren't prefect, that's half the fun of playing, and it will surely bring a smile to the recipients face when they get the card in the post.

Let the video show you how I made the cards and then try them for yourself and I am sure you will have some fun too just as I did when creating mine

Christmas Bauble

Hi Everybody,

Today I am using the Christmas Bauble from my new collection and this card is really pretty in the hand

It is quite quick and simple to make and yet the result is lovely.

It is popped up with foam pads but it is flat enough to fit into an ordinary envelope and so save money on postage

Line the inside to compliment the front to make it extra special.

The Traditional red and green card is from Papermill Direct and it is a 255 gsm. The white base card is 300 gsm and really smooth. Quite my favourite card at present

Snowflake Panel

Hi Everybody,

Another video for you today and for this one I have used the really pretty  Snowflake Panel  to create luxury looking card

I have used a shiny gold mirror card and a dull gold teamed with white and the end result is lovely. Both are available at Craft Stash

Perfect for special family and friends

So dig out that gold glitter you have had sitting around in small tubs for months and get busy re-creating this design for your self.

The video will show you how I made the card and you can of course use any colour glitter that you have in your own stash. Experiment with combinations of card and glitter and see which you like the best ... Blue and silver, Turquoise and pearl, red and gold ... so many for you to try

Seasons Greetings Card

Hi Everybody,

Today's card has used the Christmas Tree from the new additions to my Christmas Collection in a way other than a tree.

And I quite like the result in pink. Change out the colour and the sentiment and it could be for any occasion ... male or female

I am so pleased with the new additions and I have had a lot of fun playing with them. I really hope you will enjoy the videos that will be coming up

2018 is my first ever Christmas Range but there is so much more to come in the next few months with all kinds of "Goodies" and I can't wait to tell you about all of them. 

 More tomorrow ...
