I do love pastel colours and much prefer them to traditional reds and greens on Christmas cards so naturally, I had to have this gorgeous paper from Crafters Companion didn't I?
I coloured my Bugaboo penguin image with promarkers and added some tiny snowflake peel-offs before cutting and matting using some stitching nesting dies. I attached the image with foam pads whilst keeping everything else flat for posting. Behind the image is a couple of die cut fir trees which I have added glitter glue to. The sentiment (another magazine freebie), has been stamped and heat embossed in silver. Nearly forgot, you can't have too much glitter and sparkle at Christmas so I added more with the ribbon!!!

Another christmas card today. I started off with a navy base card with a white panel added which I topped with my design paper. I coloured my digi stamp from Whoopsi Daisy with promarkers and fussy cut her adding foam pads to the back. She was then attached to some mats, one of which has been embossed using a folder. My sentiment has been stamped and then die cut with a tag die. Adding pink distress ink around the edge I then added a snowflake brad. My poinsettias are die cut from pink vellum and then hand embossed with a ball tool. Finally I added a pearl to each flower.

A long time ago I bought a card kit from Crafter's Companion featuring gorgeous little fairies (I actually went on to buy the stamps as well). Here is the only card I have made from it so far. As you can see it is a shaped easel card using a gorgeous topper, sentiment and border. The leaves I have added are punched and the flowers and brads are from my stash.
