Die cuts

This is my entry for CHNC - the theme this week is die cuts

I used die cut snowflakes which I cut using my Big Shot.

Firstly I stamped out the scene & lightly coloured with copics, then I used various stickles to highlight the snow.

I mounted the scene onto backing bazil

and finally sprinkled my die cut snowflakes from above.

A Touch of Red

This weeks challenge on Less is More is A touch of Red

& here is my entry.

I used my background stamp with distress ink

& then stamped the flower motif from Paper Artsy in black

I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment using the distress ink again

& finished with a die cut flourish.

Another seasonal box

Here is another of the seasonal boxes I've made using seasonal paper & die cut Xmas trees & stamped sentiments.

This shows the bottom of the box which I've inked using Distress inks to pick up the texture of the card that I've used.

A Challenge card

This is the sketch for this weeks challenge over on the Allsorts challenge blog

As I wanted to join in the challenge over at Dotties World which is Anything goes - Red I have combined the 2 challenges & used red mainly on my card.

I coloured the cute image with my copics & mounted it on the scalloped circle cut with my nesties & used my gel roller pen to do the faux stitching round the edge.

I added white buttons

and die cut snowflakes along with the merry christmas sentiment matted again in red card & raised on sticky fixers

and added the ribbon bow & pearls to finish ...............


I'd also like to enter this for the PB at Allsorts challenge - thanks Brenda for the heads up :-)

Chocolate box

Hmmm - did I fool you into thinking that this was it!

I found this box of gorgeous chocs - yes they are, well I had to test them! *giggle*

The packet contained 2 sections ......

which I made into a Xmas box of special chocs......

Firstly I made the box & lid............

so that it was a snug fit so that the choc's didn't rattle around

Then I decorated the box lid...........

I used die cut snowflakes & tree which were enhanced with stickles & my Sizzix   

embossing folder snowman, again enhanced with stickles.

The sentiment was stamped, cut out & mounted with sticky fixers, as was the snowman.

I finished with the cheerful red spotted ribbon - in keeping with the Spots & Stripes theme.

I'd like to enter this for the Allsorts challenge blog challenge, which this week is Spots & Stripes.
