Today I put together a multi occasion card. I used a Nellie Snellen embossing folder and a butterfly die which I cannot remember where it came from. The sentiment is unknown to me also. I used tiny gems on the body
Thank you dropping by and hope to see you again sometime soon.

I managed to find a little time to put together a clean and simple card using a Sizzix ( I think), Creative Expressions sentiment and a Gummiapan bee stamp. The bees I coloured using Polychromo pencils.

Hi all
Here we are again with a new challenge for Peace on Earth Christmas for team Diane using the moodboard below
I chose a little of every pic white, gold an a bauble
The bauble is an Impresslit all in one emboss/die by Tim Holtz. I have had this for well over a year and only used it a couple times. Mental note leave it on table to use more often lol.
I wiped gilding wax over the embossed areas. The tiny bow came from a multi pack of dies which could be unbranded - I just have no idea of origin
The branch and the sentiment I embossed in gold, again no idea who made them they were lurking about in the drawer
Thank you for visiting and why not head on over to Peace on Earth Christmas and join in with this fun challenge

Today I was going to make some cards for some of my DT obligations for 2023 but decided to make this one for the fun of it. I die cut a circle for the flower head and diecut a couple of tiny leaves. I coloured them by dabbing them into distress oxide inks and left to dry. I then embossed with a crackle stamp using versamark and sticky embossing powder, heat then used gilding flakes randomly.
I drew the stem using brown pen. I round the circle and leaves using an embossing tool on a rubber mat. I cut into the circle in the attempt to make it look like single petal - not so sure why as can't really distinguish the difference lol
I used double sided foam tape under the leaves and in the middle of the sentiment to lift the centre for a curved shape. This was to cover a crooked attempt of stamping directly on the card TWICE lol.
I die cut a circle on the front panel and used double sided foam tape to adhere it.
Thank you for visiting

Another one I couldn't resist and this time I included my fave tiny reindeer and Santa- all from Gummiapan.
Well yesterday I stated I would just make digital cards for my neighbour however that has changed - for a couple though. My new dies turned up from Gummiapan today and could not resist these cute little snowmen.
There was me thinking my Christmas card making was finished for ths year - how wrong was I!!! My neighbour has asked me to make 6 for her so here I am again. She is going to get all digital cards as I have no inclination or motivation to get die cutting lol. Digital image is either from Hungry Jpeg or PNG wing - I have no idea have forgotten which site it is lol.
These four cards are for grandchildren and daughter for Christmas - obviously. What else gets posted this time of year, not many things lol.
Anyway all the images are from PNG wing, I used anita's 3d gloss and glitter on all four cards though difficult to see - The first card is the one being entered and just placed the other three for show
Thank you for visiting and hope to see you again real soon

It has been a few days I posted so I thought I better get on and post one.I have been training all week for my work and have felt absolutely shattered.
Well I thought this would be a quickie - how wrong was I !!! so darn fiddly as have really long nails lol.
Hi all just a quickie tonight
I found this little die in my stash and thought it perfect for Addicted to CAS current challenge
.png)
I die cut an aperture into front panel and adhered it to card base.
I cut the prezzi three times and stacked. The top layer was silver mirri card but didn't like it that much far too shiny so I tapped over it with black stazon to dull it down.
No sentiment needed
