When I printed out the digis for the mouse and bunny, I did a few extra at the same sort of size. I haven't done much Copic colouring recently and these are all nice simple images that can be coloured without too much effort. I kept the card design similar to the previous cards, but… Continue reading Critters & snowflakes
This is probably my favourite of the batches of cards I've made so far this year. When I saw the poinsettia edger die I just couldn't resist picking it up and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.

This is one of the two Christmas dies I bought for this year's cardmaking; I do like border sentiment dies and there is enough detail in this one that the rest of the design can be fairly simple.

Apart from the background that is, that went as planned. It all started so well: the heat embossing and… Continue reading Pink flowers on pink
I couldn't bring myself to waste the snowy scene left over from die-cutting the hills for the last card, so I used it to create a simple card for the Christmas stash. I grabbed a sheet of the extra shiny mirror card that has been lurking in my paper pile for months and glued the… Continue reading Winter scene on mirror blue
I rarely use large detailed dies like this, but this one caught my eye. In theory, it should make it easy to create a few quick Christmas cards; which is why it took me two days to finish this one. I had a dig through my box of background experiments and found this piece of… Continue reading Merry Christmas frame
