Makey Bakey Mice Holly Jolly Christmas

Hello bloggers I hope you all had a lovely day yesterday, I spent the day at the allotment which was lovely.  Today's card is another card using the amazing Makey Bakey Mice stamps from Crafter's Companion.



This card began as a white A5 card blank.  First I cut down to size and adhered some polka dot backing paper that I printed off the Makey Bakey Mice CD-ROM.  Next I stamped the topper onto some white card stock using black soot distress ink and Crafter's Companion 'makey bakey mice holly jolly Christmas' stamp set.  I then coloured the image using ProMarkers.  It was then die cut using Spellbinders 'hexagons' die set.  After die cutting I inked the edges with a ProMarker.  Next I used some white card stock to die cut the snowflake using Spellbinders 'snowflake pendant 2010' die set.  Once die cut I stamped the 'deck the halls' sentiment into the center of the snowflake using black soot distress ink.  Next I die cut the holly embellishments using some green card stock and Spellbinders 'holly motifs' die set.  Once these were die cut I inked them with pine needles distress ink as I didn't have the correct shade of green card stock.   The holly corners were adhered to three corners of the card. Finally I stamped the sentiment onto white card stock using black soot distress ink.  It was then die cut using Spellbinders 'back to basic tags' die set.  I inked the edges with a ProMarker.  The four leafed holly embellishment was added to the tag with a metal snowflake brad.  The tag was then adhered to the card.

Poinsettia and Fanciful Holiday

Hello blogger's since its only 80 days until Christmas I thought I would share another Christmas card today.  This card has been made up of die cut that I had cut last Christmas and not used.  I found them yesterday when I tidied and cleared out my craft room.


This card is A6 and began as a patterned card blank that I had in my stash.  On the other side is a reindeer pattern but it was too busy for this card so i opted for the red.   First I Inked up the circle with pine needles distress ink.  The pattern on this paper is of presents and it was blue so I inked it to turn it green.  Next I added the reindeer to the circle.  The reindeer is cut from gold glitter card and used Spellbinders 'fanciful holiday' die set.   Faux gems were added for the nose and eye.   Next I added the corner decoration,  which was cut from green card stock and used Spellbinders 'holly accents' die set.  Whilst still in the die I inked through with distress ink.  The poinsettia was cut from an off cut of a roller blind that I brought for my kitchen and needed to be cut down to fit the window.  The fabric was die cut using Spellbinders 'poinsettia' die set.  I cut 2 large and 2 medium and then layered them up staggered and added a black faux gem to the center.  The holly behind the poinsettia is cut from green card stock and used Spellbinders 'holly motif'  die set.  I then cut it in half and added one piece either end of the poinsettia to act as the foliage.  Finally a chipboard sentiment was inked with pine needles distress ink around the edges and adhered to the card.

Holly Poinsettia

Hello bloggers today's card is my first Christmas card.  Whoops I've said it now please don't shout at me, it will soon be upon us and as crafter you know as well as I do we have to start months in advance of the big day.


I began with an A4 card blank that I score and folded to make a 5.5" square card.  Next I cut some red card stock to make a mat for the base card.  Then I cut some more green card stock to make a further mat for the card.  The last mat to be cut was from white card stock.  These were all layered up and adhered together.   Using some more green  and red card stock I die cut the poinsettia using Spellbinders 'layered poinsettia' die set.   Whilst it was still in the die I inked through to pick up the stencilled details of the die.  This was then layered up and a faux pearl was adhered to the center.  With  more green card I die cut the central element using Spellbinders 'holly motif' die set.  Whilst the card stock was still in the die I inked through to pick up the stencilled details.  A bauble peel off was the attached the center of the motif.  Further peel offs were also added to the card corners and a sentiment was added to the top right side.

This card is being entered into the following challenges:
