Christmas Card swap

At Scrapping Around we had a Christmas Card Swap and these were the ones that I did. Here are the items I used for them.
Kaisercraft Teal blank metalic cards
Kaisercraft Cheer paper range
Crafty Original Christmas tree chipboard
Staz-on Olive Ink
Clear embossing powder
Kaisercraft Pearls
Bella Christmas tags from a Christmas pack I bought last year
Brads

Now I have linked the products I used to the Scrapping Around store for you so go have a shop there.

I had so much fun creating these that was for sure.

1st Christmas

This is the layout I created over the last 2 days of Isacc's 1st Santa photo.

I have used:-White Bazzill cardstock
Black gel pen
Rainbow Kindy Glitz
Dimentional Magic
Silver Rhinestones - Kaiser
Christmas tree and word chipboard from Crafty Originals.
1st chipboard alphas from American Crafts
Christmas Spirit - JOLLY paper
Christmas Spirit JOYFUL paper from Kaisercrafts

I cut the baubles out and used Scrapdots to 3D them.I ran the chipboar through my Xyron machine before I inked and DMed them. I left it on the adhesive backing to dry which I found pretty easy and saved making more mess on my craft matt.
On the Christmas tree and word I used Stampin' up! inks they were Old Olive for the tree and Blue Bayou for the word. Then I coated the whole lot with DM and added a little Rainbow Kindy Glitz to the tree once it was dry.
1st apha number and letters just had a little Rainbow Kindy Glitz added.
With my black gel pen I just doodled around the photo and on the sides of the paper.

I realised earlier while reading my own posts, that I hadn't shared photos of Sam and I decorating the tree the day before she was due to give birth..........

so here it is.And here is the finished tree lights and all. I so loveeee my angel lights mind you there are 4 sets on the tree. LOL

Christmas Cards part 1

Have been creating my own Christmas cards slowly so thought I would just share them with you all here.

These were a small part of my DT work for Scrapping Around for October.

World Card Making Day

Today I created these cards to celebrate world card making day for Scrapping Around.
You will find my tutorial in their forum. I must say I had a ball playing with all the items even though there weren't that many of them.

I also created 2 turorials to go with these cards.

1 to make your stickers 3D and the other was on how to score cardstock or paper without using a scoring blade.

I am a huge fon of the Kaiser Cutter and I love my scoring blade almost as much as I love the shaped blades as I have never been a fan of shaped scissors at all. For some reason I can never get the cuts to line up like I want them too.
