Snow Flake Wave & Bauble.


Good morning friends, followers and visitors..welcome to new followers, thank you for joining me.


Today`s Christmas card using these New July release from Poppystamps.. "Snow flake Wave & "Lavinia Snowflake Ornament" .    http://poppystamps.typepad.com/



I have cut two Snow Flake Waves in white, then adhered together for depth.. this I backed onto soft aqua glued together and cut around with scissors. Next I cut cut a wave in aqua as I wanted the snow flakes and dots the die left behind..next infilled with these, disregarded the die cut..will come in for another card.





You can use this Snow flake wave anywhere on your card ..top..bottom ..sides..I choose top as I wanted my Bauble shape to look like it`s hanging  from the swirl.




Love this pretty Lavinia Snowflake Bauble..backed onto matching "Costello Ornament Background"  ..I have used New Poppystamps  "Poinsettia Joy" CL441 clear stamps for the word "Joy" stamped onto the bauble in black ink.



I cut a frame to finish  this card .. placed onto a side opening card in aqua..6.1/2" x 7.1/2" added pearl snowflakes with pearls..

Hope you like the soft none traditional Christmas colours on this card..have a wonderful crafty day Pam x

Poinsettia Ribbon.

Good morning friends, followers and visitors..

Sharing my second post  for our blog blitz over on Poppystamps .

Today I have used the "New Poinsettia Ribbon 1567".  If you would like a chance to win this beautiful die, pop over and leave me a comment on this post..






Poinsettia Ribbon 1567 also works with the older Blooming Poinsettias die 861...
Rather than red poinsettias (they come in all colours) I kept these white! wanted some texture on them, I sprinkled Stampendous "Shabby Blue embossing enamel" on the petals, then heated from underneath with my gentle heat gun till powder was melted.   





Underneath layer cut the ribbon away glued with wet glue of set the petals, filled in with "Holly Leaf Branch 1601" white card and red glitter card. finished with berries from my stash!. 







I have used the same combination to create the poinsettia flower at the top of this card..

This gorgeous background die by   Birch Press Designs " Dazzle"  I have used the collection of three in this set. they can be used alone or in combinations.

Available from Oysterstamps
