Snowflakes

Good morning bloggers!

Happy Saturday!

Here is my GDT card for  2 Sisters Challenge blog

where the theme this week is Snowflakes!

I had two cards in my head so I made them both! lol

Here's the first one!

I used an A6 card blank which is folded at the top!

I added some red vellum which I've had forever but don't seem to

 use much although I do really  like it.

Next I added a snowflake embossed panel.

I think this was a Papermania embossing folder.

Before attaching it to the card I wrapped my snowflake

ribbon around it. The ribbon is from Lidl, they sometimes have 

some great things for crafting! If you keep your eyes peeled! 

I also used a peel off sentiment! 

Sometimes you just have to!

A closer look at the embossed panel!

I added a snowflake which was cut with a Marianne Designs die.

Luckily it was in my box from last year as I can't find those dies!

Here's a side view to let you see that the vellum is loose at the 

top & bottom & I gave it a bit of a curl, just because...

Here's the second card!

same colours, same size & shape of card & pretty much the came

ingredients but I've used a Cuttlebug embossing folder. 

I used red foil paper for matting on this card.

As you can see I dotted a couple of self adhesive gems about!

I did think about adding a bow but when I tied it it made the card too bulky

to be mailed in the UK using a normal stamp, (especially as I want to 

include a Christmas letter) so I left it off!

Here again is a side view!

This weeks sponsor is 

Inked Treasures

I hope you can join in the challenge.

I'm sure everyone will make a card with a snowflake somewhere

on it at this time of year!

Morning blogland! 

Happy Thursday to you!

It's time for my Just Inklined card!

Meet Rotten Robin he's available at Just Inklined for the  princely sum of 59p

I just couldn't resist adding the Bah Humbug! sentiment.

The font I've used is called Frosty & you can get it free here
If you look at the Just Inklined blog, you'll see lots of Robins this week!
Lol! We must have all been of the same mind!
My base was cut using a scalloped circle Grand Nestability then
folded in half. The paper is digital freebie (it's been printed out in my stash forever)
& I can't remember where it was from.
When I do I'll add a link!

I coloured him up with Promarkers, chalked around with red

& chalked the background with blue but it's hard to see!

I then cut him out with a circle nestie & matted on to a scalloped circle.

I added little silver punched snowflakes with a Papermania gem at the centre.

The ribbon was from Lidl they have some great crafty bits & pieces sometimes

I tied a bow & added a sliver bell from MeiFlower.

I trimmed the tiniest bit off the bottom at the back to stop the card 

falling over to one side.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you like my card!
