Technique – die cutting

Featuring die cutting

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 23

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

The challenge for Day 23 is another sketch and I had so much fun with this one!

The large joy bauble is a Hero Arts bargain which I backed with some amazing Tonic Studios speciality paper.

The smaller baubles were created with The Greetery’s Curio Attic Ornaments die set and coloured with distress ink.

The sentiment is by My Favorite Things and the background folder is by Spellbinders.

Thanks for stopping by!

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 22

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

Day 22’s challenge is another colour combo – midnight blue, pale lavender and silver. One of my favourite combos!

I decided that Spellbinders’ flowery tree die set which was their July 2023  Small Die of the Month kit would be absolutely perfect. I’ve loved this set since the moment I saw it and even created my own take of it for Christmas in July that year.

The background is also by Spellbinders.

Thanks for stopping by!

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 21

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

The theme of Day 21’s challenge is ‘first snowflake’.

Perfect excuse for me to pull out the Birch Press Design Crochet Snowflake stamp set! This time I paired gold mirror card and whit glitter card plus fabulous sparkly bling that I have had forever!

The background is a Spellbinders embossing folder and the sentiment is by Sizzix.

Thanks for stopping by!

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 19

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

The theme of Day 19’s challenge is ‘wrapped in wonder’.

Lots of ideas for this one but I really wanted to use my new Nellie Snellen Presents embossing folder and stencil – so I did! I used new Pinkfresh inks and I have to confess that I was a little disappointed with the pink which turned out MUCH brighter than I would usually choose.

The silver parcels are cut from the Memory Box Pretty Presents die set and the sentiment is an older set by Poppystamps.

Thanks for stopping by!

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 18

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

The challenge for Day 18 is another sketch.

I bought this large Simon Says Stamp bauble die back at my first Create in 2015. It was a low key event compared to how it is nowadays but I absolutely LOVED it!

Anyway, I used it with some more Tonic Ombre glitter card and pulled out my old Darice and Sizzix 2D embossing folders.

Thanks for stopping by!

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 17

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

Day 17’s challenge is another colour combo – powder pink, plum and teal blue. What a fun combo!

I used the Christmas foliage die set that was in the Pinkfresh Studios Holiday Cardmaking event kit and coloured the images with distress ink. I arranged them on am older Memory Box frame that I cut from white glitter card.

Thanks for stopping by!
