Vintage Christmas card

 


Good Morning Ladies, 

I hope that today finds you all well, gentle hugs to those of you that need one 😘🥰

I had a lovely crafty day yesterday,  I was just sat trying new techniques, playing with inks and die cuts for most of the day, the whole thing made so much more enjoyable by the lovely company I had.  (Paul) in case you hadn't guessed 🤣😂

I started todays card on Friday, I bought a vintage Christmas scenes card, it was very inexpensive but I thought it wouldn't make some cute Christmas cards.                                                                                   I used my 'sizzix Snail Mail' die to cut a piece of one of the Vintage Christmas scenes, at first I thought that the die would obscure to much of the scene but I think it looks ok.  I took a piece of mixed media card and added a light coat of Walnut Stain ink to match the colours on the Vintage paper.  I adhered the die cut piece to the mixed media paper and then layered onto a piece of mirror card then onto a cream card base, edged with Vintage photo ink.  To finish the card I used a sentiment from Tim Holtz Christmas sticker book and layered it onto a piece of mirror card and added it to the top right if the card.  

I hope that you all have a lovely weekend, 

Love and hugs to all of you,

  2. Hello, what is happening to our weather, it’s another grey day.

    Sandra hope your appointments go ok today, be thinking of you.
    Love today’s card, that paper is great, looks like lots of stamps.

    Going to spend the morning ironing, I’ve left for a couple of weeks, so quite a lot to do.

    R is out all day, so I’ll put some Utube videos on and watch some crafters, might get some inspiration.

    Hope you all have a good day, Lilian

  3. Hi everyone
    I love this adorable card Sandra and I can see another die that I like to have in my stash. It looks great. Hope today goes well, take care.
    Karen. Hope you had a good time at the K & N.
    I agree with you Lilian. The weather isn't very nice at the moment and today I feel the cold in my bones a lot and feeling so tired so another day with very little has been done.
    Sue, hope you have a fun time being away for a few days.
    Sonia, hope you are feeling better. Come back soon and Janet too. Missing you both.
    Brenda, rest up. Guess the weekend will be busy for you so rest until then 😉
    Hope you have a good day everyone. Big hugs to you all. Maria xxx

  4. Hi Sandra and all looking in today.
    Love this card. It is a clean and simple but also very effective. The papers in that pad are absolutely gorgeous and I loved how they gave the same image on the back of each one. I don’t think I have seen a pad like that before. (I forgot to ask you for the details so I can order one)You positioned the die perfectly, love it, life, love it. I hope you got some sleep last night xx
    It is a grey day down here in Devon, seems like it’s the same everywhere. We are off to see Chris’s (ex)sister in law later on this afternoon which will be lovely as we haven’t seen her for two years. But first we are going to my most favourite place in the UK which is up on the moors so I’m a very happy bunny today 🥰🥰
    I hope you all have a good day whatever you are doing. Take care. Love Sue xx
