Some frosty paper for a pretty Thankful card

Here is another card that was in this months Card Kits to Go. The original card idea was taken - or CASEd (Copy And Share Everything) from a card by a UK Demonstrator, Zoe Tant (see her card HERE)

It features the Feels Like Frost DSP which is a "Returning Favourite" in the 2020 August - December Handmade for You Catalogue.

Since these papers focus on snow covered trees etc, it doesn't really suit what Christmas is like here in Australia. But if you take smaller sections/strips then the focus becomes more on the colours.

So I have used this to make a Thankful card, which looks so shimmery and pretty with the silver from the paper as well as in the ribbons.

The strips are 3/4" (1.9cm) and punch each end with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. The strips are adhered to a vellum layer.

You could use any patterned paper you like with coordinating colour card and ribbons/accessories to create a variety of different types and styles of card.

Taking advantage of the DSP Sale

I've taken full advantage of the 15% off the selected Designer Series Paper (DSP) sale and bought a stack of papers I didn't have yet.

This months Cards to Go kit also took advantage on the sale with a heavy focus on DSP.

Here are two of the cards that were included in the kit

This card uses the Playing with Patterns DSP.

I have used the Stitched Nested Labels dies to cut the "window" and the Playful Alphabet dies for the letters.

The only other addition was some Playing with Patterns Resin Dots.

This card uses the Whale of a Time DSP.

I was thinking of an aquarium feel for this card and have added a piece of window sheet to create the feeling of looking through glass.

The sentiment if from the Lovely You stamp set.

 

So don't miss your chance to get these papers at a great price!

Till next time,
Natasha

Non Traditional Christmas Tidings

Over World Cardmaking Day/weekend, we started making our Christmas Cards.

I've also been making Christmas cards to go in my monthly "Card Kits to Go" (see my "Events & Classes" tab if you're interested). 

Last month I tried to do a few that were using less traditional colours.

Here is one that I quite liked the end result - I played around with it for a while before the final result...

I CASEd the idea from a Stampin' Up! project I had seen for a tag/gift box using a different stamp set.

The main colours are Rich Razzleberry, Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray along with Whisper White and a hint of Pool Party in the Old Olive leaves on the tree (hard to see in the photo) and of course the Plaid Tidings DSP which is currently 15% off.

I have also used the twine that is included in the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo pack which I have "frayed' at the ends.

Do you use traditional colours for your Christmas cards? or do you prefer non traditional colours?

I would love to hear what you this of this one!

Thanks for stopping by,

Natasha
