CAS Christmas Mid Month Reminder

Hi Everyone, it's time for CAS Christmas mid month reminder, I hope your are adding some cards to your stash with a little inspiration from the team.



For my card I used some Sweet Poppy stencils. the first is the Poinsettia wreath which I just used the poinsettia part and then the Postcard frame. After stenciling the poinsettia image I went over it later with some watercolour to add some depth of colour.

Playing with Wax Seals

Hi Everyone, I'm not sure if you've noticed wax seals seem to be making their way on to cards as well as envelopes. I've always wanted a set with my initial but after seeing Sandy Allnock and Vicky Papaioannou using the seals I decided to get some wax chips a wax heater and a couple of the impression stamps.
Here's one with a Merry Christmas sentiment, I used a mix of gold, dark blue and grey wax chips to create the marbled effect.


The berry stamp is from Lavinia. I used Versafine Clair ink in grey, coloured the berries in pencils and used glossy accents to give them a little dimension. The wax seal makes a great accent to a card, don't you think 😏

CAS Christmas Card Challenge - July is Poinsettia month


Hi Everyone it's time for CAS Christmas Card Challenge,  Linda is our host for this month and she's asked us to pull out our Poinsettia's for this months challenge.
 


Welcome Sandra of (Sandma's Handmade Cards) as our Guest Designer, please check out her card and blog along with the rest of the Design team, there are so many beautiful Poinsettia cards on display for your inspiration.

I have 3 cards for you using the Altenew poinsettia 3D Embossing folder.
For the first card I embossed white card and framed it with red, because of the size of the embossing folder I created 2 cards out of the one embossed image. I love it when I can get a twofer.

 
My second card I embossed using red card, but this time I inked the embossing folder with Versamark before I placed the red card in the folder. I then used clear embossing powder which highlighted the embossed lines. Again I got a twofer for my Christmas card stash.


For my third card I inked the embossing folder with red ink and placed white card in the folder, you can see the whole embossed image on this card.
