A Ray of Sunshine

Hi All!
Back today to share a bright and cheerful card made using Core'dinations cardstock and the Darice Floral Border embossing folder.

The more times you play with these folders, the more ideas you get. Here I have just embossed the design in different corners and on multiple sheets then layered them up to create a design. The stamp is a Crafter's Companion 'Sentimentals' stamp and the corner dies are from the Die'sire Ornamental Ovals set. Finally, I added black gems to finish. Hope you like it!

Bird on a Branch Embossing

Morning All! Don't forget to tune in to Create and Craft on Monday morning to see Fiona from Crafter's Companion demonstrating the Darice Embossing Folders.

Here is one example I made using the Bird on a Branch folder, embossed onto Centura Pearl and coloured with Distress Inks to make some last minute Christmas Cards. I even made a box to match.

Hope you like them. Back soon with some more embossing ideas.
Best wishes

The Spirit of Christmas

Afternoon All!
Back with a really quick post to share a card I made using one of the lovely Bebunni stamps from Crafter's Companion.

I coloured him with my Spectrum Noir pens and pencils and cut him out before mounting him in the negative space created when I cut out the Ornate Oval die. I decided to go with a pink and blue Christmassy colour scheme  for this one...and of course, a little festive glitter!

Christmas Pop Up

Afternoon All!
Are you starting to feel festive yet? Today I'd like to share a pop up card I made using the Vintage Christmas range from Crafter's Companion.

This is a lovely CD with lots of elements for you to fussy cut. I made this pop up so that it can fold flat in to DL sized envelope for a change, created a little scene with images from the toppers and added a lovely festive family sentiment to the front of the box.

I also added a panel to the back to write on and decorated it to match.

Hope you like this card. I'd like to enter it into the following challenges:

Winter Wonderland - Let's Get Sentimental

Sparkles Monthly Challenge - The Big Guy (Father Christmas)

Cards Galore Encore - Anything Goes

ABC Challenge - Xtra Special (an extra special family Xmas card)

Thanks for popping by.

Happy Sunday Everyone!
Hope you're having a good weekend. With only one more day to go until the launch on Create and Craft, I just thought I'd share another project made using the new Sugar and Spice collection from Crafter's Companion

This time I made a pillow box from pastel blue Centura Pearl. I embossed it with the Embossalicious Delicate Floral folder, decorated it with a topper, ribbon and sentiment from the CD and added lace and die cut leaves from the new floral die collection.
Hope you like this little gift box - change the colours and it would be perfect for your Christmas prezzies!
Best wishes and bye for now
