Christmas wreaths with Santa

 Today I have another couple of  Christmas cards,

both using a wreath die from SU, but completely different.

Love the Gummiapan Santa, sitting on a pine branch,

having a well deserved rest 😃., before he rushes off to join the Allsorts Challenge #804,

where the theme is cute and/or cuddly…..I think Santa is both don’t you?….

If not, there’s the anything goes category.

This one uses poinsettia flowers,SU, and also the SU wreath.

I’m taking this one to the Snippets Playground #492 ….

I remembered to take a picture of my Snippets too…..

die cut from small pieces of cardstock and bagged up.

Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments. 

Build more Wreaths

Hello, I have a couple more Wreath Builder cards today.

First up is using the more rounded leaves, which I again used Shimmer paint on,

and I added a second layer of leaves, snipping the second wreath into 3 pieces,

 so I could arrange them to my liking. 

I added more white velvet flowers, and a silver bow.

This bow is in the die set, and there's an extra piece to create a double bow.

Rhinestones and some leaves and a sentiment in Grey Granite completes the design.

The other card is in the same lovely pink and grey,

but this time I added some fussy cut birds from the Bird Ballad Papers.

I then couldn't resist joining in Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge,

so I fussy cut some teeny tiny butterflies from the Botanical Butterfly Paper.

I hope I've used the elements Butterfly+English Rose+Edges

where the edges are around the sentiment.

I am also entering the Double "D" Challenge where the theme is Wreathes.

I hope you will visit both blogs for some lovely inspiration.

And finally, here's one I made earlier....

this one is from last Saturday's post.

Have a good weekend

Happy World Card Making Day

 Well hello!

I managed to find some crafty time today...

and then I managed to find some sunshine outside to photograph my card!

My friend Jan of Twinks Stamping often takes her shots outside,

so as I've been in all day, and then the sun came out, I thought I'd give it a try.

Here's what I made using the Wreath Builder dies

and the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper...

You can't really see the Shimmer paint I splashed about,

or the white velvet paper flowers, but it's quite softly textured.

Enjoy your day whatever you do
