Merry Christmouse!

Time for a Christmas Card and matching tag!

 

I had a colouring in session with some of my LOTV Christmas digital stamps.  I have had these digital images since 2021/2022 and I don't think I have used them yet :( 

 

I used my computer to place the two LOTV graphics 'Christmouse Pudding' & 'Christmouse Decorations' along the bottom of an A4 page for the cardfront.  The sentiment graphic was then placed below it.  

 

For the Tag, another copy of the 'Christmouse Pudding' was placed at the top of the A4 page and resized, with a portion of the image removed, leaving just the mouse with the pudding.  A sentiment graphic was then positioned below it.

 

 

 

Once the graphics were printed, I then set about colouring it in with Copics, finishing with Kindy Glitz.

 

Slimline/DL sized card was made with Red leathergrain cardstock, and completed cardfront attached to cardbase.

 

The Tag was hand cut to suit, then a red ribbon added.

 

 

 I had lots of fun making this set :)  Now to get on with some more cardmaking!

A New Home

Some friends are moving into a new home, so I just had to make a card!

 

David is a friend I met through my camera club way back in 2011 and his wife Carol is a quilter!

 

Suffice to say, I knew what type of card I was going to make.

 

 

I found a great tutorial online to follow, and the card came together very quickly.

 

The longest and hardest part was choosing the DSP - which was from my stash of 6" DSP I have had for quite some time.

 

I made the cardfront using 210 gsm, and cut up several strips of DSP, and following the tutorial, placed the strips accordingly.

 

Picking which embossing folder to use for the 'quilt block' was fairly easy, the one I chose has some 'double wedding ring quilt' inspiration ...

 

I ink blended the edges of the cardfront to add further dimension & interest, then added a strip of DSP.  The 'quilt block' was added to cardfront with foam tape.

 

The sentiment was printed on computer, and foiled with my Mini Minc in gold foil, then mounted to the front of the card using foam tape.

 

To finish, the cardfront was added to a 300gsm A6 cardbase.
