Last minute quick cards

 For these I have used a snowflake tiered die from creative expressions and a  tree stamp from woodware.

missing baubles etc.

 The missing baubles from my previous post were found on the full workshop board for the die cuts  so I've

included that here. They  are on the top row.

The full stamping board for this month is

Stamped baubles and mittens

 Here I have stamped onto die cut bauble shapes, used a bauble stencil and also used a bauble media plate to create the bauble in which I stamped.

 I then looked at using woodware new stamps - cosy birds and mittens

and for a closer look at mittens

Baubles and more - die cuts

 Lots of different ideas for this month mainly centred on baubles but including other dies also. ......Just realised I don't have a picture of many of the baubles so that will come later. Meanwhile there are lots of other ideas here

This was adapting a die we had used earlier in year for Christmas since it had a star centre so I thought I'd fill the star with nativity scenes since we don't seem to have any religious things this year.

This folder embosses and die cuts

and then I looked at other ways to use this bubble frame.

Embossing Folders

 These 3D embossing folders are from creative expressions again.  With the bells I used the stencils that go with the folder for colouring - again trying out different products but the others were coloured from embossed image. I have coloured the folder first in some instances. In other cases I used inked card and then sanded the colour off after embossing.

Spot the differences on the 2 pictures - 3 have been varied from original although the white embossed image doesn't show up well here.

Poinsettia Wavy Strip

 Another die this month from creative expressions which I have tried to colour and use in different ways

Pop Up Cards

 For these I have been making my own templates so that I can get a variety of steps. You will have seen one with the boy and girl on my last post but here are some others.

Two of them feature creative expressions die sets but the middle one was just using anything I had already cut in my stash.

 

Gingerbread shapes

 This is playing about with the dies from creative expressions papercuts range. Each shape can be used as a hanging decoration or as a card topper. In the case of the house I have used it as a complete card.

some have been coloured using paper piecing method - others are coloured directly. 

Oak leaf frame

 Thinking of Autumn I have also use the JND Oak leaf frame in a few different ways for Septembers workshops.

Using JND Festive box set

 I had to come up with some different ideas to those in the magazine for workshop customers who had purchased the box set so I looked at using some of the different shaped cards - tiered cards, slider cards  and others. Also I know some people don't like starting Christmas too early so I used the set for other occasions also. Many ideas will deal with all occasions - you just need to adjust the colour scheme.

Anyway these are some of the ideas I came up with..

        anytime cards..
