Snowflake Tree Decorations

Hi there :)

Monday is my DT day over at Make the Day Special Stamp Store and today I have been sharing these Snowflake tree decorations made using the MFT Pierced Snowflake dies....

I've been cranking these dies through my Big shot to create multi layers in brown and white card then finishing with a sticky back wood paper on one set and white glitter paper on the others. I love how the different materials give a totally different feel and theme.

 The greenery at the top is made using Under the Mistletoe dies from Wplus9 cut in two shades of green card, I trimmed the branches into smaller sections and added red liquid pearls for berries.

The glittery flakes just have a white bow and silver bells.... both sets make the softest tinkling when moved and I'm looking forward to hanging them on our tree :)

Garden Grown Wishes

Hi there :)
It's my DT day on the blog over at Make the Day Special blog and I've been arranging some potted plants using the Garden Grow stamp set from Altenew..... I was so pleased so see you can now buy coordinating dies so cutting out those intricate shapes is much easier :)

The plants are coloured with promarkers and copics but I was chuffed to find a way to use those small words and phrases in the set as a texty background for my little scene!!
I've used three shades of grey ink to stamp the words for an ombre effect and sponged the lightest grey ink to help define the edges of the masked area. The sentiment is from an older Hero Arts sentiment set that I think has been discontinued.

Warm Woolly Wishes

Have you dug out your woolly hat and gloves yet???...

 I have, but only in stamp form as it's much too mild here still for the real thing :) 

For my DT blog post at Make the Day Special Stamp Store this week, I shared a winter's birthday card using a couple of stamp sets from Wplus9... Holiday Cheer and Background Builders: Knit..... they're perfect together :)

I love how the textured card adds to the 'knitted' effect and the stamping isn't perfect but that kinda adds to it too.... that's what I'm telling myself anyhow ;)

I used the outline of the hat and mitts on the same card and added some colour with the matching solid stamps and a small pattern from the knit background set. I kept the design simple so as not to cover too much of the knitted backdrop :)

Sentiment is from an Avery Elle and Lil'inkers stamp set, double stitched rectangle is from My Favourite Things :)

Thanks for stopping by :)
