Mini bauble cards and a fabulous freebie!

I have a couple of mini cards to share with you today which I made with the fabulous freebie which is available on the very talented Wendy Colledge's blog.

For the first card, I cut a scalloped circle card and used a red spotty backing paper from the Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather stack and first printed the bauble on to a piece of printer paper. I then held the paper up to the light with a piece of patterned paper over it so I could see the outlines and make sure the pattern was centered on the bauble. I then stuck this in place and ran it back through the printer. I printed the bauble on card and then paper pieced the bauble on to the image. I finished with a mini stamped tag tied with twine and added a button, both from the Ribbon Girl.
For the second card, I used table scatter I bought from Tesco's to make a flocked pattern on the image of the bauble. I ran them through my Xyron sticker maker to make them sticky and then added them to a bauble which I had coloured with Promarkers. I finished with gems and another mini tag tied with twine.
I hope you have a great Sunday, ours is a quiet one catching up on some chores and watching a bit of TV and reading the papers :-)

Merry& Bright

I had a huge flash of crafty inspiration last night when I was blog hopping and just had to make a card as soon as I saw this wonderful Freebie digi stamp on the very talented Wendy Colledge's blog.

I made this card 1st. All cards were made using a Sizzix card die. I printed one of the images with the text and one without in the same size and cut out the image with the text using a Nestabilities die.


I printed the bulbs separately and coloured them in using some of my favourite colours then mounted them on to the background with foam pads and added glossy accents to each one and a gem to dot the 'i'.


Then, this morning I tried a pink variation. Not sure about this one. I used twine from The Ribbon Girl on all the cards.

I think this one might be my favourite. I used red card for the base card and greens and reds for the bulbs. When I visualised the cards, I had Kraft in mind as I thought it would work well against the bright white textured card but I do like the red.
Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!
