Snow Globe Deer Scene Card

 I start off this card by doing a lot of cutting. I cut out the globe shape out from a card panel, I cut out the two snow bank pieces and the two smaller deer from the Sizzix thinlet set.

I then do some ink blending on a small piece of Strathmore bristol smooth water colour paper, and use some blues going from a medium blue to a darker blue to make it look like a night sky.  Once I'm happy with that, I will cut out the snow sky background die in the same set.  

I wanted to have the base of the snowglobe to have a woodgrain effect, so I used the Sizzix 3D texture fade called lumber, and ink up one side with the versafine onyx black ink and put it through the big shot and it gives me a woodgrain look so I can cut out the snow globe base piece.  

I decided to try using the Go press foiling machine to do the sentiment for this card.  I haven't actually used it a lot.  I had a stamp set that I got from Aliexpress and so I will use one of the sentiments from that set, and use some holigraphic gold foil to do the sentiment.  

Finally I can put the card together, I put the snow banks in behind the base of the aperture that I cut out, and then stuck the card panel onto some craft foam.  I worked out where I needed to put the ink blended backgound and stuck that down onto my card base and then stuck the card panel over it.  Finally I can stick my deer onto each snow bank and the wood grain base to the snow globe and that is the card finished. 

While I was doing all the cutting, I cut out the snowman pieces that came with the snow globe set and made up a card using that, this time I made it into a shaker card, it made a very sweet card. You could also make the deer scene one into a shaker card if you wished to also.  Such a cute card. 

 

I have a video of making the card.

CAS White and Gold Wreath Card

I stuck down the sentiment top and bottom of the circle aperture and that is the card finished. I quick and simple one to do.

 For this card I am using the Impression Obsession Twig Wreath die set but instead of using colour like I did last year, I am going to keep the card very clean and simple and only use white and gold.

I got my card ready, by folding a piece of A4 card in half and then cutting the length to be the same size as the width, which is about 6" x 6" or 155mm x 155mm.

I then cut out a card panel the same size and cut a circle aperture with an inside outside stitched die, as I want the stitching to be around the outside of the aperture I cut, and also the same circle out of a piece of craft foam.

I cut out 3 of the twig wreaths and glue them together so that they make a more substantial die cut that will have a little more dimension that a single die cut. While I was doing the cutting I cut out some gold twigs and holly leaves from the twig wreath die set and also a sentiment form an old poppy Stamp die set (folk merry Christmas) out of the same gold mirror card.  

Now it is a simple matter of putting the card together.  I mounted my card panel onto the craft foam and then onto my card base.  I stuck down the white twig wreath.  I then couldn't decide if I wanted to put the twigs as well as the holly leaves, but ended up deciding on the holly leaves only, as I wanted the clean and simple look, so I didn't want it to be cluttered looking.  Less is more!

I have a video of making the card.
