Swirls Christmas Tree

I was so impressed by Lucy's card that I went off and bought the Hero Arts digital stamp kit straight away - I'm really pleased with it.  For this card I printed the green swirl tree on heavy quality white paper, then mounted it on a lavender textured card background.  The beauty of this digital image is that you can colour the tree any shade you like using photoshop!  I think it looks plain, but classy! and I'll be making lots more like this and if I could tie a bow as good as Andrea and Bev, I'd be a very happy little cardmaker!

I added lavender dewdrops and lavender 15mm satin ribbon both from ribbon girl

Bear with gifts

A bright and cheerful Christmas card with a LOTV diecut image, on a red card background, on top of a cuttlebug embossed white paper.

I cut the flowers from red and green textured card in the sizzix using a poinsetta leaf die, curled the edges, added stickles stardust and a holly berry red dew drop.  The card was finished with red/green/gold striped grosgrain ribbon.  Stickles, Dew Drops and Ribbon all from here

A Pink Bauble Card with Bells and Ribbons

The background paper and bauble shape were from http://www.theclipartfairy.com/ which I printed out then mounted the background paper onto some fuschia cardstock, then a scalloped card blank.

I cut out the pink bauble, glittered it with Stickles. Then I added lots of pale pink dewdrops, silver bells, wide pink and white spotted organza ribbon and narrow pale pink ribbon from Ribbon Girl.

Autumn Leaves

This is my entry for 'Autumn Leaves' on the Daring Card Makers challenge.  I downloaded a free copy of the sheet music for the old song 'Autumn Leaves' which I printed out and distressed, then mounted on kraft card which I then stuck on a card blank.  I downloaded some free clipart and selected a leaf border which I printed, cut out and covered with crackle glaze. 

I printed some words from the song, cut them out using a nestability die, then cut a larger shape in the kraft card, stuck them together and added pale gold dewdrops, some orange satin ribbon and a couple of leaf pins, all from the Ribbon Girl.  I was really pleased with my effort as I was trying to be just a little bit different and try to come up with something unique.
