Turtle Dove Cards

Today I have some cards made using the divine Turtle Dove Collection ... I love this traditional Christmas collection... it reminds me of all the old English Christmas cards I grew up with!! LOL

Pearls and ribbons are of course the perfect companion to these papers... the only difficulty I encountered in making these cards was that I was constantly tempted to go over the top and decorate them to death!! I only wanted to make simple cards and sticking to that manifesto was an effort with such gorgeous coordinating embellishments.... it's good problem to have! LOL

Have a great day...

Mint Twist Cards

Well today I'm back with more Christmas cards ... this time made from the Mint Twist Collection These are very basic cards that were quick and easy to put together ( Just the way Christmas cards should be!!) using the Paper Pad and the Collectables from this fun collection. Of course I added the obligatory Christmas Bling and some ribbons here and there, but mostly the papers and collectables did all the work for me! LOL

I hope you have been gearing up for the up and coming silly season... I'm thrilled to have made over 20 cards already and feeling like I'll actually be organised this year! 

Have a great day, smiles from Kel.

       

Twig and Berry Cards

  

Well I'm back with more Twig and Berry Collection ... this time it's cards ... you can NEVER start to early when it comes to Christmas Cards!! 

This would have to be my favourite collection this year, with the rich reds and greens I love in Christmas but not too European or American in it's themes either!

I had quite a go at that Tim Holtz rosette die as you can see from these cards and my previous layout... thats because I think these concertina flowers are the perfect compromise for flowers at Christmas!

These were incredibly easy cards to put together as they are just made fron one piece of paper for the back grounds and some collectables raised up on 3D tape, add a little bit of ribbon or bling and there you have it!

Thanks for dropping by for a look... Smiles from Kel : )

   

   

Save The Date Cards...

Just a couple of Happy Birthday cards today using the Save the Date collection ... of course this collection just SCREAMS Birthday Cards!! LOL

Here I've used some of the papers and elements out of the collectables pack and a few rhinestones for bling ... nice, easy and effective!

Thanks for dropping by for a look...

Attitude Cards

 I'm back with more Attitude! 

Once again I've used many of my best 'boy tricks' on these cards made from the Attitude collection ... buttons, stitching, string, arrows ... I didn't go too over board here as I think guys prefer simple to tizzy so these cards remained nice and clean!

This collection certainly helped making guys cards a bit easier...

thanks for looking, Smiles from Kel.
