I made this card to give my 7 year old an example to follow, then let her loose with my crafty stuff!
These are her efforts...
And then she became bored with following my instructions and told me to go away and leave her to it!
Hummmmm..... I hope Jasmine appreciates it!!!
I was amazed how quickly I was able to make this pretty card using Karen Burniston's pop 'n' cut house card. With the coordinating thinlits dies I was able to make, photograph and post it on here in less than an hour. That's a major achievement for me!
I am so lucky to have been given the lovely Karen Burniston Sizzix dies collects. For this card I combined dies from Karen's journey and her new snippets collects. I used the Sizzix Pop 'n Cuts XL Die - Card with Ornate edging for this card. The pink oval and wavy oblong are part of Karen Burniston's framelits set.
I used the mug insert and matched it with the spotty paper from the front of the card. The cute stamps are freebies from the front of a magazine.
This months Karen burniston designer challenge is holidays. And as there are now only 100 sleeps the Christmas I choice it as my theme. I made this card using Karen Burniston's pop 'n' cut circle die but turned the card 180 degrees so the circle part of the card was the manger.
I used a cloud die for the swaddling clothes and gave it an even more 3D effect by using some Anita glossy accents liquid.
'twas the night before Christmas is one of my favourite poems, I thought it would be great to use it on my Karen Burniston accordion album die.
To elongate the card I used washi tape on the die to mark where I should position the top clear cutting plate to.
The fireplace is a quickutz chimney die and the stockings are from a cottage cutz baby die I bought a while ago.
I love the sizzix Santa sleigh and reindeer decorative strip die.
