Christmas Cards 3

Robyn Leeanne here from Scraptease with you today with some Christmas cards I made using old leftovers from Kaisercrafts Christmas collections.

 I have decided that before I buy anymore Christmas papers I must first use up what I have so here you go. Merry Christmas!

There is still nothing better than a handmade card that is made with love.

Card 1

Made with a Kaisercraft blank red card to start, I cut a piece of contrasting paper slightly smaller than the front of card.

Using a decorative corner punch I punched each corner.

Before sticking that down I added a line of thin washi tape across the top and bottom of the paper.

Then stuck that in the center of the card.

 I added a postcard from the postcards sheet in the collection along with a few gold spots in each corner and a couple of red ones for the holly berries.

Card 2

This card is not dissimilar from the first one with the front piece being cut slightly smaller than the card front and using a corner punch on the each corner this was then stuck down.

Using a postcard picture again I matted it with a glitter cardstock and mounted that with foam mount tape in the center of the front of the card.

I had a small strip of paper leftover so I cut it into 3 strips and staggered them horizontally on the front of the card.

Finished with fussy cutting the banksia flower and mounted that to the left of the center picture and added a few diamond shaped gems.

Card 3 

Using a slimline card I have cut a red glitter cardstock piece to be slightly smaller than the front of the card.

 I have then cut the picture from a sheet of the paper from the collection to be slightly smaller than the glitter cardstock.

 I have mounted the picture onto the glitter cardstock using foam mount tape and the stuck the glitter cardstock on the front of the card.

 I then added a nice verse matted with a checked paper to the front of the card and a strip of the checked paper across the bottom.

 Finished with a couple of small red gems and some thin red ribbon across the bottom with a gold stone.

I hope this has inspired you to make your Christmas cards for family and friends this year.

More importantly have fun and do it with love.

 Thank you so much for stopping by.

 I do hope you find inspiration in your day to craft.

Until next time my friends CRAFT ON!!

Stay tuned and stay creative

Christmas Cards 2

  Hello again Chit Chatters.... Robyn Leeanne here with 3 more Christmas cards made using the Christmas Gnome collection from Maja Designs.

Christmas is catching up to us very quickly now so I thought making more Christmas cards would be the way to go with this blog. 

As I said last time there are so many different ways to personalize a card these days, written messages in store bought cards, there are cards sent via email but I still think homemade is best. Its nice to think that someone has sat and thought about all the good times while making you a special card. Don't you agree?

Card 1

Shaker Card

To make this card I used frames cut with a die from contrasting papers from the collection and layered them. 

Using foam mount tape and acetate I created the window for the shaker pieces (Glass cabochons and Glitter). Cut out a Gnome and added to the bottom side of frame and added the chipboard title for the card.

As its getting close now to Christmas I thought that making cards would be fun to start thinking about now. 

There are so many different ways to personalize a card these days and homemade is, I think, always so much more thoughtful. So much love and thought goes into making a personal Christmas card and you know when you receive one that you have been thought about and loved. Don't you agree?

Card 1

Shaker Card

To make this card I used frames cut with a die from contrasting papers from the collection and layered them. 

Using foam mount tape and acetate I created the window for the shaker pieces. Cut out a Gnome and added to the front side of frames and the little title for the card.

 Inside I used a similar gnome on a tag piece from the collection so as it showed through the front of the card. 

Card 2

Slimline Shaker Card

Using a slimline card from Uniquely Creative I created this card.

I have used a diecut frame again with foam mount and acetate to create the shaker and used glitter in the shaker this time.

I have added gold washi tape and the little Merry Christmas Washi tape to the top and bottom of the card along with some pearls spots to bling it up a little.

Card 3

Slimline Card

Again using a slimline card to create this card I have used a piece of the paper cut slightly smaller than the front of the card and stuck down. I have then cut a postcard from the paper that contains the 12 postcard size pictures mounted that on a mat and then mounted that using foam mount tape to the front of the card. Added a small piece of the Merry Christmas Washi tape to the bottom of the postcard picture and a strip of the gold washi tape to the top and bottom of the frame.

I hope this has inspired you to make your Christmas cards for family and friends this year with this Maja Christmas Gnome Collection.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

 I do hope you find inspiration in your day to craft.

Until next time my friends CRAFT ON!!

Over the Rainbow

              Hello my crafty friends, I hope you are well and crafting your little hearts out.

Today I have for you another of my DT designs for Robins Nest. I really enjoy adding these little sparklers to my work.

 They are wonderful to use as that last little addition to your work. Just finishes it off.

This was using a cut file something a little different for me. I enjoyed the challenge.

With this being a very colorful rainbow layout the Mardi Gras Dew Drops were the best choice to finish it off. 

I hope you can take some inspiration from this layout and pop into dewdroplove.com and grab yourself some of these beautiful embellishments.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

 I do hope you find inspiration in your day to craft.

Until next time my friends CRAFT ON!!

Stay tuned and stay creative

Mintay Cards

Hello my crafty friends.

 I have joined another Design Team.

 It is called the Robin's Nest of Vernal and can be found here on Facebook.

 I made this awesome little card and I hope that you will be inspired to get yourself some of these gorgeous Dew Drops and make some cards of your own for family and friends.

Lots of different Dew Drops are available here 

This is what I ended up with along with the Dew Drops I used.

So lets start from the beginning.

First I decided to use a square pre made card with envelope. 

I then decided to make a Congratulatory Card, so I made a base for the title from leftover chipboard I had in my stash and colored it up using Distress Oxides.

I found all the bits and pieces I wanted to play with. 

Then I started to play around with the layout of the card.

Once I decided upon my layout, I took a photo to help me remember where everything goes. 

I then put it all down using a combo of glue and foam mount tape.

The last thing is to add the beautiful Dew Drops, I do like a bit of bling in my projects.

The final product

Products used:

Pink Punch Dew Drops

Purple Hair Dew Drops

Thank you so much for stopping by.

 I do hope you find inspiration in your day to craft.

Until next time my friends CRAFT ON!!
