First Advent Window - Magic & Wonder

 The funniness of sending a Snowflake card to Australia still hasn't worn off - ten years on ;-) Add in some fabulous FREE Glimmer backing paper that I hoarded through Sale-A-Bration and here's the Christmas card I did for the Talgarth card group - in July!

 

Stamp Set: Joyful Flurry

Card stock: Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Glimmer

Ink: Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay

Accessories: Frosted Flurry Dies, coloured and silver rhinestones.

The partial dies in this set mean that you can pop up the cut out pieces for a dimensional look, revealing in this case the glimmer beneath - magic and sparkle ;-)

Keep on Christmas Card making!

A quick Kit creation

Although I love the freedom of creativity, sometimes I also love the speed of coordinating kits. 

This is the Celebrate Today Magnet Board as you can choose your background paper and the decoration of your lists and pockets, the possibilities are endless! 

As the clips are magnetic, you can even use it for your favorite photos.

 As you can see, I haven't quite got round to the lists 

- hee, hee hee!

Keep on improving your creative space,

New Horizons Suite

 As I get a sneak peek at the new catalogue releases, I thought this suite is perfect for everyone who enjoys a card with a view. 

The background papers give a wonderful water colour background without having to create it yourself - winner, winner! 

I particularly liked adding stamp detail of the foreground rushes, the raised tree line with the coordinating die and then the upper sky line printed birds.

Stamp set: On the Horizon

Card Stock: Bumblebee, New Horizons 6"x6" DSP, Whisper White

Ink: Shaded Spruce, Early Espresso

Accessories: Horizon Dies, Pebbles enamel shales, Triple banner punch.

Keep on creating serene cards,
