Holiday Wishes

 Hi Everyone, 

It's my last post of 2021 over on That's Crafty's blog today as the Design Team take a Christmas break from the 19th December so I'm offering you all some 'Holiday Wishes' in the form of a mixed media wintery snowflake tag. 

The tag's focal feature is a dimensional textured snowflake that has a touch of sparkle. 

 It's set against a cool blue background of snowflake flurries.

Trees!

 Hi Everyone, 

Today I'm over on That's Crafty's blog sharing some cards that I've created with KatzelKrafts 'Winter Wonderland' stamp set and Tim Holtz Distress and Distress Archival inks. 

The cards are CAS in design, minimal in products used, super quick and easy to make so they can be   produced on mass in a short space of time. 

I'm not calling them 'Christmas' cards per se as I think the overall design lends itself to several occasions. 

As well as Christmas cards I think they would also be suitable to send to anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas that you still want to send greetings to at this time of year. They could be given as autumn/ winter birthday cards, Thank you cards for seasonal gifts, New Year cards or general note cards - just a few ideas!

Here's just a few of the cards ...

and some tags too.

'Winter'

Hi Everyone and Happy December! 

So,the Christmas countdown has officially begun and although slow getting started my christmas card creativity is in full swing now.  So today I'm over on That's Crafty's blog sharing one of the latest cards I've created.  

It features stamps from katzelkraft's 'Winter Wonderland' stampset and Tim Holtz products. 

I love this long slim tree especially against the moonlit starry sky ....

...... and so pleased the cute young boys all wrapped up warm hung around for their photo taking after they'd been playing in the snow. 

As always there's more to see and read on That's Crafty's blog so why not come join the boys and I   over there.  

Just click HERE and you'll be with us in no time . 

Hope to see you soon

A Trio of Mini Christmas Art boards

Hi Everyone, 

After creating the winter watercolour christmas cards I shared here and here last week I seem to have got the Christmas creativity bug and have a few mini Christmas themed art boards to share with you today over on That's Crafty's blog. 

These were originally destined to be regular christmas cards (which they would be lovely as) but so far into the creativity I decided to make them into mini christmas art boards that you could either send instead of a card or give as a gift that the recipient could display as a small piece of seasonal decor and then maybe keep to display again next year. 

They are super quick and easy to make as they are primarily made of ready made elements -some of Tim Holtz 2021 wonderful seasonal Pocket Cards and Collage Tiles.

I'd say the hardest part of making these art boards was choosing which of the Pocket Cards and Collage Tiles to use.

 Let me tell you with 55 double sided Packet Cards and 36 pairs of Collage Tiles the choice struggle was real !!!
