 More to share this afternoon! Hope you like these as much as I do. The swirl background die, and the Character stamps and dies are from Whimsy stamps. Perfect for the kiddies! 

Thanks for looking!

 This is a long post, but the cards were easy and, actually themed for Christmas. Spellbinders is to be commended as they are one of the only manufacturers that actually acknowledged that Christmas was about the birth of Christ. It is a Betterpress plate,which makes it versatile. I used it both on the betterpress and the foil machines. 

 These are pewter and silver foil. The brighter (red background) is the pewter selection.  

                                                                 

                                                   

                                             

 Used the Betterpress with black ink one these. The one on the right is on grey cotton  paper.

                                            

             More ink blending first, then stamping with the Betterpress

                      This was crooked, so I tried to salvage it. 

This is the gold foil. Beautiful and the words stand out nicely.

The gold and the turquoise with the matching glitter background are probably my favorites!

Thanks for looking!

 Good Morning! Its 4AM and wanted to share these super easy Christmas cards. Lets get started.

                   The paper is older, maybe simple stories. And, some fun scrap 'strips' for the diagonal stripe backgrounds below

That is all for this collection. Stay in touch, more to share!

Thanks for looking!

 Good Morning! This time I am trying a different SD card and different file. Hopefully I won't get locked out of this one!!

This is a Hero arts press plate. Didn't even use the betterpress, I went straight to the foil machine with this one!!

                           Silver foil is stunning! Black cardstock

Purple foil, still lovely. The one on the left is on white cardstock

 

                                            
 Editing is awful, but the foil is beautiful. I think it is Aura. Hard to photograph as you can get a reflection of yourself! The card below is white foil on black paper. 

                            

                                           Thanks for looking!

 Today We are starting with a really easy Santa topper. Not sure where it came from. The heart die in the background is an older Spellbinders die. The sprigs are from a Tim Holtz collection. 

 We are having photoshop issues again. Somehow my editing abilities are locked. All technical, but this happens often and its frustrating! Have more Santas to show you.  Think I used Simple Stories papers for the next ones. I will add on to this as soon as I can!

 Good morning! Finally I am going to start with our Christmas 2024 collections. This is an easy card for Cardz for kids for the holidays. Love making the kids cards. This stamp and die is from Art Impressions. The card is a shaped arch. A couple 'of the arches' layered on top and a label with a verse next. Then a character to complete. 

Sneaked in a Santa and Snowman from the Tim Holtz stamps from last year. 

I had to look, the snowman is on the top card in the first pic.

Hope you enjoy!!
