More Christmas cards

I'm working on Christmas cards and these two cards are a mix of different dies from a few companies.  I used a holographic gold peel off around the edge of the card. I know the white die behind the candles is the center of another die but of course now I can't find the die to tell you which one, LOL The candles are memory box glowing candles. The saying and backing are both from Sue Wilson's creative expressions.
The second card is is a Marianne die on the bottom and Sue Wilson lavender border and I used a large scalloped square to cut it out to show the white embossed snowflake background, the Peace on Earth is Sue Wilson.  I just punched a couple of snowflakes from a Martha Stewart punch and added lots of pears to finish the card. 

With Love

I made this card for The Shabby Tea Room challenge this month.  The heart is a Marianne die and the corners are spellbinders.  I added lots of bling with little heart peel off borders and frosted pearls.  The saying is a gold peel off and the white backing on the heart is a glitter paper which doesn't show in the picture. 

Power Poppy Believe in the Spirit

Hop over to Power Poppy and join the challenge fun each month.  For this pretty card I used the saying from Joyful Arrangements.  I used a new Marianne Die for the shape and the layers.  The paper background is from Frosted Lace paper pack by Wild Rose Studios.  I added some pretty gems and snowflake to finish the card.  Be sure to check out the Power Poppy blog and see the peeps of the week.

Power Poppy World card day

This beautiful poinsettia card is for the world card day at Power Poppy.  I used the newest stamp set Poinsettia.  I stamped it in memento black ink and colored it with copics.  The corner die cuts are Marianne.  I'm not sure whose oval this is, it's a white metal die cut.  I used a gold pen around the background and the oval and then added some soft pink ribbon and sparkly snowflake to finish the card. 

Sweet Stamps, NO Designer Paper

Wow no designer paper this week!!!  So I used a cuttlebug for the background and then added a pretty Marianne frame and I left it in the die and sponged some red around it and then edged it in gold leaf.   This beautiful Blossoms image was stamped and colored with copics and I added some gems to the center of the flowers.  The Cheery Lynn flourish leaf strip and daisy strip was used to make the flower and leaves.  Thank you so much for this honor this month. It's been so much fun and the images and dies are so wonderful to work with.

Marianne Dies and Casing Anja

I received some new Marianne Dies and saw this card or envelope on Anja's blog.  I made mine into a card but I loved her layout.  These new dies are gorgeous but be sure to add some wax paper between them and the card stock for easier removal.  The paper is from Kaiser Craft Violet Crush.  I used the Marianne Anja's gate, umbrella dies with a  Spellbinders corner.  I just added some pearls and a bow to finish this card.

Flourishes Vellum and Marianne Designs anything goes

I made this pretty white and silver and pink card for the challenges at Flourishes (vellum) and anything goes for the Marianne Designs.  This is a 5x5 card, I used the old fashioned florals stamp set from Flourishes. I stamped them on vellum and used a very small spellbinders scalloped oval to cut them out and colored them with distressed inks in Victorian velvet and mowed lawn. I added a pink gem to the center of the main flower.  The fan is Marianne fancy fan #1 and the bottom piece is Anja decorative edge and the scalloped shape behind the fans is from the Marianne  but I can't find the name of it.  You can get the Marianne dies from Sweet Stamps and she can order any of them for you.
