Spirit of Christmas - A Little Bit Festive & Cute

Good morning! Back once again with our next set of Classes and of course it has to be yet another one going towards our fast approaching Festive Season ☃
For this next class we will be using this lovely Snowflake Circle die by Precious Marieke which creates a beautiful frame and I have teamed it up with a little bit of Sheena's Festive along with a touch of Sara's Cute collection, they all work really well together I have to say.
So the recipe for these two cards is as follows :
6x6 Card
Sparkle Pens
Black and Amethyst.
An alternative to these would be Dusty Concord and Black Soot distress inks and a Clear Sparkle pen.
Sheena's Winter Snowflakes sentiment stamps.
Cute Christmas Winter Owls.
Tacky Glue and 3D Glue Gel.

7x7 Card
Sheena's Winter Wonders snowflake stamps.
Clear Versamark ink.
Wow Silver Hologram Sparkle embossing powder.
Distress inks
Gathered Twigs, Iced Spruce and Faded Jeans.
Black Versafine and Clear Powder.
The tiny snowflakes are from the Cosy Penguin Cute Christmas die set.
Stag die from Sara's Scandinavian range.
Think that's just about it for now, bet you would like to see some photos though??? Well friends I will oblige but I have to go take them first so in the words of Leonie " Bear With!" lol !
Back later x

  See I said I'd be back!
6x6 Card


7x7 Card

A little bit of a mixture

Hi all! Just to let you know that we will be having a class this week even though Louise is chilling out in sunny hot Espana lucky thing!!!
I have chosen one of my sample cards from our demo on Saturday as quite a few people asked for it and I know several of you will have already bought the latest Crafters Companion magazine and thought it might be a good idea to use some of the freebies that came with it. By the way.....
THANK YOU to everyone that came to support us it was a really good day.
OK for the first card which is A5 in size I have used the Scandi Bird and little foliage dies along with the mini Lace folder and two colours of my Pebeo Gilding Wax (Empire and Renaissance gold).
I have created a background with acrylic paints and embossed it in the Floral 3D folder then added the gilding waxes.
Not quite finished it yet so I will be back later to fill you in on the rest.......

Back shortly!









Finished first card except for the sentiment which I might just die cut.
One of the layers has been painted with Topaz Starlight paint.
Here you can see where I am going with the second card, same style in different colours and I have introduced some Silver gilding wax with the Empire Gold.

Better go and get it finished then lol!
See you later x
