Saturday Inspiration - Part 2 ~ You tube inspiration

I know, 2 posts in one day but I wanted to share two lots of cards with you today to make up for not blogging much recently.

I was inspired to make this card after seeing an ad for a video by Kristina Werner, I haven't see the video, just saw the card.

I've used my favourite wheel again, 'Musical Notes' which I've just been obsessed with this year.

 

I used the same basic layout as the card I saw on You tube and did it in two colour ways, 'Real Red with 'Very Vanilla'  which seems all warm and cosy to me.

The other colour way is 'Whisper White', 'Midnight Muse' and 'Bashful Blue'.  Using blues makes the card look all frosty, which is another thing I've been obsessed with this year.

I used one of the embossing folders from the 'Delicate Designs Folders' duo pack.  I know it isn't snow, but it really gives the impression of it.  The little snow flake stamped image is from the 'Make a Mitten' stamp set, and obviously I've used the 'Mitten' punch for the mittens, which is so adorable.

Hope you like them, have a great weekend ..  xx

Little shiny Christmas Tree

Firstly, sorry about the poor quality of photo in this first image, the light in my craft room is shocking, add that to the fact that I took these photo's at night, there is not a lot of light.  I used an OttLite to craft by, so that's ok, I really want to buy another one, maybe Father Christmas will take pity on me next month!

Talking about Christmas, my project today is another Christmas card.  I used the "Musical Wheel" again, I'm in love with that image this year, the sentiment is from the "Petite Pairs" stamp set.

The tree is cut out using the "Holiday Collection" framelits and it sits on the small scalloped rectangle cut out using the "Scallop Rectangle Clearlit"

The tree was actually cut out of "Whisper White" cardstock and sprayed using the Gold Glow Smooch Spritz.  It doesn't show up that well in the photo, but it has a lovely shimmer that changes in intensity depending on which way you look at the tree.  I also used the "Cherry Cobbler" Dazzling Details to add little blobs to replicate little red baubles on the tree.

Now I have to be honest, this is one of those cards that was created out of bits that I had on my desk that I thought may work together, and I'm pleased I gave it a go.

A couple of Ornamental Christmas cards

Hello there,

I hope your Bonfire night was full of fun and lovely hot things to eat and drink.

My share for you today is a Christmas card, well, now it's November it feels as though lots of Christmasy things are allowed.

For my base card I used "Naturals White" cardstock and I used the lovely new stamp set "Ornament Keepsakes" to stamp out the 2 ornament elements.

This is a lovely stamp set and comes with coordinating "Holiday Ornaments" framelits dies. What's even better about this coordinating products is that Stampin' Up as selling them either individually or as a "Ornament Keepsakes" bundle, which works out cheaper - yay!

I used just two ornament stamps and dies for these cards but there are 9 stamps in this set in total.

I used the "Music Notes" wheel for the background, which I love and is perfect for Christmas cards but also I think it would be great for male cards.

The sentiment is from "Curly Cute" - seriously, how great is this stamp set, defiantly one that every stamper should have in their inventory.  I heat embossed this in white onto a piece of "Midnight Muse" cardstock.

I only made these in "Midnight Muse" but I am defiantly going to be replicating these in a few more colours over the next few days.

Enjoy!    xx
