Chinese Wedding Card

I got commissioned to make a Chinese Wedding Card last year, but never got around to posting the finished work.

So what is more Chinese than red packets, with gold embossing. I cut up some red packets which we have for all occasions. The characters on the front and back are double happiness symbols, synonymous with weddings. I used red cardstock as my base and some shiny patterned paper to contrast. Added some heart brads and a white bow to embellish.

The middle of the card front and back can spin. Made by cutting out the diamond shapes and using dental floss (or very narrow string) positioned just so.

Since the Chinese New Year is coming up next week, I hope everyone has a very Happy New Year - "Kung Hei Fat Choy"

Swirly Scribbles Happy Card

I saw a card on Pinterest which used the Swirly Scribbles Thinlit dies. Having purchased this die and not put it to use, I decided to make a card with it based on what I had seen.

Also used the leaf die from the Flourish Thinlits set and an alphabet die set. Embellished it with some sparkling rhinestones and voila.

Turned out very pretty indeed.

Merry Tags

The Merry Tags Framelits Dies are so useful for making gift tags. I used the Christmas tree die to make these tags and nothing went to waste.

For the base I just used Whisper White cardstock which I then stamped with the Merriest Wishes circular greeting.

I then used transfer adhesive sheets on my Home for Christmas DSP trimmed down to fit the Big Shot. Ran the DSP through the Big Shot with the Tag die. Then I meticulously removed first the bigger die cut DSP and stuck that to a plain Whisper White tag, followed by the smaller die cut pieces which I stuck down to the stamped Whisper White tag. With the Adhesive transfer sheets, there is no need for messy gluing, just peel and stick. Ta-dah!! Two different tags from the one die cut.  Added some gold thread and they were ready to go on some gifts,

Christmas Cards

Was so busy making my Christmas cards and tags, that I forgot to post the finished items on my blog, so here they are. 

I started with the Merry Tags Framelits and my Big Shot and cut out heaps of reindeers and trees in both glitter and red cardstock

Then on a piece of white cardstock I embossed the Pine Bough impression and then stamped the "Be Joyful" stamp from the Merriest Wishes stamp set with Versamark and embossed it with platinum embossing powder. These were then strung with silver thread.

The reindeer tag was then attached to the embossed cardstock with a dimensional. Mounted the white cardstock onto red cardstock and then this was mounted on to the white cardstock base card which was stamped with the greeting from the Calm Christmas stamp set.

Now the cards are ready to be written and sent out to family and friends.
