Tim Holtz/Sizzix

White trim a tree

Happy Festive Friyay everyone!

Once again I’m embracing Festive Fridays by playing along with the colour challenge at the 52 Christmas card challenge where the combo is kraft, black and white.

I’ve been wanting to use the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Trim a Tree die set since September! Today was finally the day and it was so much fun to use! The tree is large and with all the layers, the tree is rather thick but still quite delicate – I think I will be handing this one out in person rather than sending it via Royal Mail! I added tons of glitter to the card but it’s so difficult to photograph! So frustrating!

I used a beautiful cover plate die by Alex Syberia called Sparkly Flakes – isn’t it pretty? Finally I added a Clearly Besotted sentiment to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mod winter trio

 

Hi everyone!

Today I’m playing along with this week’s challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

There are so many possibilities for this sketch – I was torn between Christmas and autumn themes but then this afternoon I found myself reaching for my Tim Holtz/Sizzix Holiday Blocks thinlets dies and got cutting some Craft Consortium papers! I embossed a card panel with the Sizzix Honeycomb embossing folder and added some glittery ribbon to reflect the three strips in the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mod winter hugs

Hi everyone!

For my final card of the day, I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches.

There are so many possibilities for this sketch – too many sprang to mind and I dithered until the 11th hour when I grabbed my brand new Tim Holtz/Sizzix Holiday Blocks thinlets dies and got cutting! I used some Craft Consortium papers and so this card came together in less than an hour… I just made the challenge deadline – phew! The sentiment is from a Mama Elephant set. I think I would have preferred ‘winter wishes’ but this works!

Thanks for stopping by!
