A wintery exploding box

Have you finished your Christmas makes yet? I'm nearly there but I thought I'd show you one I've made recently, 

I used the fabulous papers and images by AB Studios again with of course some of my handmade paper leaves and Foamiran flowers,

I mixed the flower and leaves with a gorgeous BlooMar frame, this is in it's natural colour thought I've added a hint of glitter on the berries effect,

I also added some stenciling on the paper too,

The scene inside is created with another BloMar chipboard, this adorable 3D sledge, which was very easy to put together, I added a few embellishment on the top but left a space as I'm going to add some rolled up money on it too,

The foamiran flowers and paper leaves are form the Lady E Design Poinsettia and Winter Leaves dies,

The sides are decorated with fussy cut out images from the papers,

At the back section I added another BlooMar Chipboard, again in it's natural colour,

Easy to create Bauble card tutorial with BlooMar Chipboard

Hi I've created a video on my youtube channel and would love for you to take a peek, if you wish of course, lol

https://youtu.be/G2LhwK5IEJw

Anyway I show you how to create a easy bauble shaped card, I also used BlooMar Chipboards on mine,

I used the adorable papers by Scrapboys from the Cotton Winter paper set, so love the colours and patterns on these gorgeous papers,

As you can see I used a few of the images which I fussy cut out by hand,

The gorgeous BlooMar frame 01 and snowflake part of a set from the 04 snowflake collection are covered with wow embossing powder then heat set, before gluing into place on my bauble, like I said my video shows you step by step show to make the base shape etc too,

Do check out BlooMar Chipboards, Margo has some stunningly beautiful designs, it's well worth a look and they take mixed media so well too,

More Christmas cards for the Men

Hi guys, as you may know i have quite a few fella's in our family, some are quite grown up and so it becomes harder to think of a card for them year after year, lol

So here are two I've come up with,

I created a bauble card for the first one, then used some of the fabulous paper and images by AB Studio, I fussy cut out the Deer and raised it up with some spare chipboard,

I added a BlooMar chipboard snowflake on the top, I used some Wow Embossing powder on this first,

To finish off the card I splattered some watered down white gesso over the front,

Card number two is a DL styled card,

I wanted this to look classical in design, so I used black and silver colours,

I used some leaves cut out of  lady E design Poinsettia and winter leaves dies out ofwhite paper then coloured them with two colours of silver, then using a leaf die from the Leaves 6 Herbs die I cut some out of non shed glitter card,

I used two of the fabulous bauble chipboards from BlooMar, these I used some Silver embossing powder on the top then heat set them,

On the larger bauble I added some of the glitter card, I finished it off with silver coloured sequins and clear Gems plus some cones from my stash,

Well I'm getting near the end of my Christmas cards, still a couple or so to show you, including a tutorial of how I make a Bauble shaped card,

happy Crafting!!

Christmas Time

Yes I'm here again with another card for Christmas using one of the fabulous windows by BlooMar Chipboard, this time I used the layers together,

I used some Wow embossing powder Gold on the star and baubles,

I used papers from AB Studios, Breeze of the Forest, then I  added some snowflake paste with a stencil to give a snow effect, when dry I cut some spare chipboard down to create some brick shapes and coloured them with some distress ink,

I fussy cut one of the gorgeous Christmas Tree images and hot glued it to the card, then I glued the window over the top,

Using some leaves again from my favourite lady E design Poinsettia and winter leaves dies I created some leaves using paper, some of them arecoloured with some inks, on top of these I added some more fussy cut flowers from the papers,

Taking one of the words set by BlooMar Chipboards I added some Aged Ivory Frantage over the top and heat set it, then I hot glued it in place, simply gluing some tiny beads around the display to finish it off,

I put a little white Gesso onto a small piece of foam and dabbed it around the card here and there on the bricks and window frame,

Snow is falling !!!

Hi guys, I'm here again with another Christmas card I've created with some of the fabulous papers by AB Studio,the front one is from from the Breeze of the Forest collection, I so love these papers,

I got this fabulous chipboard by BlooMar Designs in my DT kit and so I coloured the candle  with some distress ink, then added some Aged Ivory Frantage for the top section, the leaves were coloured with green and brown distress inks,

I die cut some leaves from Lady E Design Poinsettia and Winter leaves dies using some paper then coloured here and there with some Brilliance ink pads,

I coloured the Holly leaves with some distress ink to,

I used some of the gorgeous images from the collection, along with some Sisal and cones from my stash, layering them all up, then simply adding some snow effect dots here and there to tie it all in,

I tied a simple knot using some twine to finish the top off, 

Well it's not that long off, but I have some more to show you soon, 

Happy Crafting!!
