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!!

Inspire Canvas
Robyn Leeanne here from Scraptease with a canvas this time.
I have had a lot of fun making this canvas from Dew Drops.
I started with stenciling with paste then sprayed with Lindy's Gang sprays
Added a paper clay molded frame and butterfly, which were colored using metallic pens.
I have used the blues from Belgian Chocolate Mini Dew Drops and the purples Sprinkles Mini Dew Drops to embellish my canvas.
Here is the final result. I hope you find inspiration from this.
I hope this has inspired you

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.

Stamperia Card
Robyn Leeanne here with a card embellished with, yes, those beautiful dew drops from Robins Nest.
I started with stenciling with oxides for a nice background.
Then I used fussy cutting from Stamperia Sea Creatures Collection to build the card up.
Lastly adding the beautiful blues and browns from the dew drop collections.
I hope this gives you some inspiration for making cards using the Pretty Dew Drops.

Christmas Cards
Robyn Leeanne here from Scraptease with 3 pretty cards made using the Christmas Gnome collection from Maja Designs.
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.

Original Duo
Robyn Leeanne here from Scraptease today, I hope you are well and crafting your little hearts out.
Well today I have for you a layout to inspire you using not only the beautiful Dew Drops but the page was also made up with Washi Tape.
I have put lengths of tape across the center of white cardstock the torn a patterned paper into 2 pieces and stuck them either side of the Washi Tape giving the effect of the paper being torn open.
Then all that has been added is the Photo and mat also the title and a mat for the title.
And of not forgetting the beautiful Dew Drops that have been added to.
Please do be inspired to use these they are so pretty.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
