A frosty winter card

 Hello everyone!

Winter is really close now - and I am looking forward to it! Well, now I'm saying that, let's talk about it in two months... 

I am a person who loves the sun and heat. But doing winter crafts is a totally different thing than having to stand outside in the cold shoveling snow. I like to use those light and icy colors. And that's what I did on today's card:

I went with light blue and white papers from the Peony Avenue series by Studio75. All papers got a white matting.

In the middle of the card I used the pergola die by Noor!Design. The lace I put across my card kind of looks like a  light layer of snow. It's lace Rebecca, which is double the height originally. Since that was too much for my card I just cut it in half lengthwise.

To the top right corner I've added a die cut winter text and a small heart shaped tag.

 Ice Tilda has bundled up to have fun in the cold. She's been colored in with Copics.

Next to her I've added a few embellishments: a die cut snowflake, a flower or grass thing that I have no name for, a light blue meadow spray, a white blossom and that Wilma button. With it's little blossoms and rhinestones it has the perfect look for my card.

 Behind the pergola I've put a large tree. This tree, and also the heart shaped tag and that flower thing I don't know how to name, are from the DooHickey Club Kit #16 by Magnolia. It has a fall theme but there are quite a few dies included that are perfect for winter cards as well.

I also added two snowflakes, put on top of each other, here.

So, let's wait for the first snowflakes. Have a happy sunday!

Hugs, Kathrin

Christmas Greetings To You From Me

Hello there everyone. Well its nearly the big day.......are you all ready? I wish I was lol, although I'm excited as I love Christmas, spending time with our loved ones, watching little grandkids opening pressies.....magical love the whole time. Except leading up to it when its manic lol.

Ok less of my babble & I will show you a christmas card, I was supposed to show 2 today but I've being poorly & didn't get the other one finished in time....but will show you after crimbo ;-)

Thankfully I made this a week ago & its a vintage christmas card today but cannot say who for incase they are peeking....which I'm sure they are & its in the post on its way to them ;-)

I'm so dis-organised this year :-(

I will start by saying how darn cute is this image.........although I did struggle to pick one & ended up doing eeny meeny miney mo lol.

Kept everything on a neutral colour scheme for this one as I thought it might go nice with the gorgeous vintage image from Pion Design.

Here we have some gorgeous flowers, the centre one being a free gift that came with the Magnolia Doohickey club kit. I've added pomegrante apples.......I love those & they can be used all year round & think they are the perfect add to flowers.

In front we have a cinnamon stick.........again lurve those so much. You can also see a rusty snowflake.......I absolutely love these metal rusty findings on creations as they add another texture to them & look fabulous!!

Under there is the Ice Crystal Swirl die-cut but you cannot see much of it here :-( I have added Scrapiniec which I sprayed white with normal white spray paint. I've also adde rusty bells with waxed cord, pomegrante apples & atg made with a Magnolia stamp....I love this stamp. 

This is the inside which I've kept quite plain but still complimenting the front. I have added a Happy Holidays Holly Leaves die & then added Memory Box stitched oval over the top to write on.

The papers are Maja Design I Wish collection & Ive inked, distressed & machine stitched the edges.

I've neglected this Skates die this year which is a shame, I inked parts of it with pumice stone. Added some seam binding, waxed cord, a snowman charm & a gorgeous bit of bling there.

Also added pearls along the bottom as you need pearls on a vintage card.....I'm sure its the law ;-)

You can just see the Scrapiniec in the corner, I added 1 in each opposite corner, left them plain but just inked the edges a little bit with pumice stone. I've hidden most of the lace for some stupid reason as its sooooo pretty.....I get carried away sometimes though when I'm adding foofiness lol.

There is a bark heart, another of my loves & you can see a couple of snowflakes which are form the new Whimsy Stamps Geometric Snowflake die.......you can use this as a whole or just parts of it.

I've also added Crackle Paste here & there. Sentiment at the bottom of image is form the bottom strip of a Maja Design sheet.

Well that is it from me but as this is my last post for Noor Design UK before Christmas I would like you wish you a Very Merry Christmas.......hope its filled with lots of love & laughter xxx

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Merry Christmas with a Tag Card

Hello all I'm here with a christmas card today using things from Noor Design UK, I made this card a couple of weeks ago but forgot to add the flowers until last night.

The idea of the card came form a Hanglar card I saw on Pinterest a LONG LONG time ago.......many of you may have seen it. It was an oblong card but with 2 hanglar images........I took the 2 images & extended on it.

I made a tag card instead of an oblong card........all links will be at the bottom of the post.

I've used Magnolia stamps from the latest collection, this is 'Sitting Cozy Edwin' & he was coloured with distress inks & markers.

I also added a die-cut Find It Trading behind with him.........I also did the same behind Tilda below.........

......this is 'Sitting Cozy Tilda' also coloured with distress inks & markers. The banners that they are sitting on are going to have names added but I dont want the people who are having this card to see ;-)

This is the inside, of course I will add a place to write or I might add a pocket to put tags in to write on......I havnt decided.

The papers are all Maja Design 'I Wish' colection, 12x12 sheets.

The squares were cut out using Little Darlings dies & mounted onto foam tape, Edwin & Tilda were also mounted onto foam tape.........all to give dimension.

I added seam binding to the eyelet at the top & hung a charm from it with wax cord.

The flowers are WOC & the leaves are Rosy Owl which I cut from Pion paper. I also added bark stars & a loose pearl from my stash.

The Merry Christmas banner is also from the same paper collection.

Thanks for stopping by.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
