It's been rainy and gloomy here and I have been buried in schoolwork this week. As a result, I have been rather grumpy. Naturally, I figured some retail therapy was in order! So off I went to my LSS. I picked up a new Fiskars paper cutter, some Spellbinders dies, and a 6x6 pad of paper that is loaded with butterflies (which makes it the perfect paper for cards for my mom). I have also discovered Glue Dots -- and they are AWESOME. How did I craft without them?!?!
Anyway, I decided to try out my new Christmas Spellbinder dies. LOVE 'EM!
I really like this first card, so simple but looks great.
I made two of the next card; they are similar but not identical. (I've only taken photos of one though.) I even practiced using my distress inks. I still haven't quite got the hang of them yet.
I probably should have resist embossed the snowflakes, but I was just too lazy to pull out all my heat embossing stuff. I kinda dig the swiss dots folder embossing on the snow. First time I've used that folder. (I bought it and forgot about it -- oops!)
LOVE the cards, wonderful work on them!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty cards! :)
ReplyDeleteLove them, they're awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous cards but I really really love the bottom one. It's great!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that you are the one who has got me started on card making. I found this amazing store by me and I am diving in head first. I haven't even started, and I already love it. Thank you, thank you!
