Acetate Snowflakes

Papertake Snowy Days...

Snowy Days!

Hi everyone, thanks for all the great cards you've made for the challenge last week, they really are lovely!This weeks challenge is Snow! Snowy scenes, snowmen, snowflakes etc etc. Come on everyone! Let it snow!!

Here's my snowy creation, I started with the acetate so I had a floaty scene. I scored and stamped the snowflakes and swirls with white StazOn.

I ripped the white textured paper to create fallen snow and the other embellishments are die cuts with lots of glitter (of course!). I placed a folded sheet of snowflake paper to give room for writing your sentiment!

Thanks for looking and for all your wonderful comments, I love them! Pop back soon, Kim

DCM - Getting Corrugated

Getting Corrugated...

Hi all :) This week it is Jo here to set the dare...

I seem to have developed a little bit of a fixation with old cardboard boxes....! My dare this week is to use some corrugated card on your card - it could be corrugated craft card or an old box etc. taken to pieces :) You could make the card blank from it or die cut shapes etc...

Well, like Jo I seem to have old cardboard boxes and new ones all over the place so for materials I had loads to work with!

The Patterned paper is from DCWV Christmas.

I die cut three frames from the slide mount and coin holder die in textured white and inside red. Raised them on 3d foam.

I die cut the holly, word and stocking in the corrugated card applied to frames and applied glitter all round the edges.

The sentiment from Anna Griffin I stamped & embossed in white ep. The red is cut from cuttlebug ribbon slide and I cut an oval in the white textured card for behind. I doubled the ribbon, attached to card and of course added even more yummy glitter!

Thanks for looking and come back soon!

DCM - Little Extra

Snowman Fun - DCM Snowmen and Snowflakes

Well, after that little bit of excitement it's back to the usual Tuesday routine and as it's Tuesday, it must be time for a DCM Little Extra Challenge!We've dragged Santa's Little Helper out of his cosy armchair again this week in an effort to help you (and us) get those Christmas card stocks heading in the right direction. This week we'd like you to make and share cards on a theme of...

Snowmen and Snowflakes

So looking through my stash I was surprised to find... No decent snowmen, so decided to make my own.

I die cut different sized circles (head and body), The arms are the tree trunks from cuttlekids trees, the carrot nose is from photo anchor trimmed, the hat and buttons is from the doodle die Santa, the scarf I free hand cut, the eyes are hole punch and the smile I drew with brown pen.

I have the snowflake cuttlebug die so that bit was easy, I used some embossed vellum.

The back ground is a yummy navy diamond dust by paper adventures it's sooo sparkly and it's bit hard to capture on the photo but I got in a close as I could without blurring the image.

I also put glitter on the snow on the trees and the snow and his hat.

Thanks for stopping by, come back soon...

Started Christmas Gifts

I embellished these bags for two lovely little girls for their Christmas gifts. Each one has a dress on the back and their names on the front.

All the pieces have been die cut from fabrics that are fused on bondaweb. The easiest thing I could think to do and they came out really well.

The flowers and bags have been attacked by the crop-a-dile (this machine is the BEST)

In the picture I haven't put the names on yet just so I can keep the surprise but they are now attached under the flowers so as sisters they know who's is who's.

Each bag will hold one of the pretty rag dolls I just couldn't resist!

Thanks for stopping by I will upload more creativeness when it's done!

Get Well Soon

Operation: Get Well!

I thought I would have a go at the challenge over on Papertake:

Your mission, should you chose to except it, is to make something with a Get Well theme! This could be a Get Well card, speedy recovery, under the weather etc etc.

My mum is a little under weather so this is for her...

I am loving this paper, I think it's called playfull.
I also used some DCWV old world (greeny colour).

I die cut the flowers and layered, then fixed them with an eyelet (I am loving my crop-a-dile finding any excuse to use it!) Applied stone in centre of each, they do sparkle much better IRL.

I die cut the decorative strip and applied either side of the message (HOTP sentiment) stamped & embossed.

The butterfly I cut by hand, applied stones to wings and attached to front with 3d foam.

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon, Have a good Tuesday!

DCM - and Cut!

Gumball Treat

This is the dare from DCM:

We've all loved looking at all your beribboned cards for Christmas and how you've cooked up the Little Extra Recipe. As for who's won the luscious ribbon giveaway, we're going to keep you in suspense a little longer! This week its Tracie setting the dare and it is to make a card and CUT!

Any theme goes, so for those of you needing a break from Christmas crafting this is the perfect opportunity to have a change. All styles are welcome but there MUST be an element of handcutting somewhere. It could be a greeting, a shape, letters printed on your pc and handcut, anything goes as long as you did it by hand.

This was a fun challenge I have been wanting to use this stamp for ages and the dare just fit it perfectly. I stamped and heat embossed the image twice in full and four of the base half.

I then stamped & masked the gumballs in different colours and coloured the base in turquoise pigment pen. I then hand cut each piece and assembled with foam to create a 3d picture.

I then put glossy accents on the top half to give glassy look! The colours I picked to coordinate with the yummy glitter backing paper.

Thanks for stopping by!

Caardvarks - A Card to Die for!

I thought I would give the die cut challenge a go over at caarvarks....

A Card to Die For

NEW CHALLENGE
Let's use die cuts on our card fronts! Link us to your card(s) in the comments section of this post by November 2nd at midnight. We'll add 'em to the Diecut Gallery. :)

I started with acetate and trimmed to make it stand at a different angle. I die cut a heart shape aperture in the front. I inked fancy pants pollen dust and the celebration sentiment with white staz on and stamped the front, I also inked the edges.

I die cut the word 'love' twice and glued either side over the aperture. The champagne glasses I die cut from shrink plastic and heated to shrink, then coloured the level with stardust pen. I glued one on either side of acetate to minimise bulk.

The inside is the dress, die cut and assembled with different layers. I die cut the heart with a hinge on one side to allow for writing your message and finished with a little bling!
