a card for my mother-in-law the die is spellbinders gold, the centre decoration I bought as part of a set from a little gift shop, the little snowflake printed shapes are some cheap decorations from tesco everything else I  have had in my stash for quite a while. I used 2 card bases to make an easel then used my circle cutter to cut the centre out then added a foam wreath base then embellished.

this is from the new tonic verso heart and square dies sets the font die is Robert Adams, the holly is actually two die sets mcs and (sorry it has slipped my mind I will update when I remember). I used 4 of the verso dies into the card then backed with mirri. simple but so affective.
May I take this opportunity to wish you all wherever you are
A Very Merry Christmas and a Peaceful and Happy New Year xxx

This is for my daughter and son-in-law enjoyed making this one spellbinder edge and poinsettia die. The heart is a little wooden decoration




These are for my grandchildren, I printed off  some snowman and Father Christmas decoupage from crafters companion The snow globes are from M.C.S

Added some bakers twine to these for the Crafter's Companion blog, I did actually think something was missing but thought ribbon would be too much so actually think the twine works really well

I just love these cards, the card blank is the snow globe/crystal ball from M.C.S the snow man/dog are from crafters companion

The father Christmas and wording are Robert Adams, I cannot recal the brand of the village but they are so sweet loved working with them


This is a card I did for my life long friends eldest who turns 30 today 05/12/13!!. The back ground is spell binders, the lilies are tonic. I used my cricut to do the lettering and numbers the gilded them

This is some samples I did for M.C.S all about alphabets cd rom they are actually boxes and look very effective



On this sample I used one of the colour block shapes available on the typography cd rom making it three different shades of oval them filled it with flowers from the tattered lace collection by M.C.S



The above three cards are also samples I did for M.C.S from their typography cd rom which is over flowing with inserts for all occasions. What I did was use the insert on the front of the card also but using the elite programme I altered either the insert or the front of the card so they complimented but did differ.
