Mosaic Madness Christmas Baubles

How are you today? 

I'm dropping in past to share a couple of cards that fit the challenge over at Merry Mondays.  The challenge is to use ornaments on your card. 

I decided to use Mosaic Madness which makes a rather nifty ornament I thought.  I embossed them in gold on Basic Black card then punched out with the matching punch.  The card base is Whisper White with a mat of Basic Black before adding a further panel of Whisper White.  I stamped some Festive Flurry snowflakes in River Rock stamping off first.  Then added the swirl from Everything Eleanor to hang my baubles from.  The sentiment from Sassy Salutations was embossed in gold.  Basic Pearls finish off the ornaments. 

I then tried another colour way using Real Red and added Santa from Santa's List in the corner. 

Well that's it for me tonight.  Take care and stay crafty!  x

Festive Flurry Winter snowflakes

Wishing you all a Happy New Year and hope 2014 is all you'd wish it to be. 

I'm joining you finally today as I'm trying to follow my New Year's resolution to be more organised around the home and therefore have more time to be crafty.  Unfortunately crafting has had to take a back seat lately and I've missed it so much!  So it was with happy delight I disappeared for a while today and made this card.

Now you can't be more organised than this.  First Christmas card for next year, I mean this year!  I must say I'm not really over Christmas yet.  I was quite sad to take all our decorations down.  No more sparkly lights to brighten up the dark nights. :( 

I've used shades of blue to fit with the Less is More colour challenge this week.  Festive flurry is stamped in Night of Navy, Tempting Turquoise and Soft Sky.  The sentiment is from That's the Ticket stamped in Tempting Turquoise and punched out using the Ticket Duo Punch. I used silver card stock as mats and added some silver ribbon to "hang" my ticket from.  I added some extra sparkle with 3 Basic Rhinestones of differing sizes.  I corner punched the main panel to reflect the ticket sentiment. 

I'm also going to pop this into Merry Mondays which now has it's own blog.  This week you have to add twine or ribbon. 

So I know I said this before, but in my defense Christmas came along, hopefully this is me back on track! 

Looking forward to catching up with you all. 

Take care, keep cosy and happy crafting!! x

Festive Flurry in Acetate

Oh my goodness I actually used acetate today through choice.  

It's white on white at Less is More with the extra stipulation of Christmas.  

I started with a card base using Shimmer card stock.  I stamped Sassy Salutations and Festive Flurry on a strip of acetate then attached in a split frame.  I stamped one of the snowflakes on spare acetate and fussy cut out and attached with a Dimensional.  A large Basic Rhinestone finishes it off.  The snowflakes were all sprinkled with some Dazzling Diamonds. 

I apologise for the photo folks.  This was the best one after I realised everything was being reflected in the acetate!  It looked like there were smudges and extra ink lines.  You can tell I don't use acetate very much Lol! 

Hope you've had a lovely weekend.  We saw the sun back for a while and boy was it warm!

Take care.  x
