Paper Rosette Christmas Card

Hi And good morning
looks like we are going to have another lovely day today
last night i cut out loads of TH large tags with my die
ready to stamp on and decorate and decided to spritz some
copy paper for backgrounds at the same time ready for stamping on
as i was doing that i decided to make a Christmas card using
one my own papers and TH paper rosette die
I always use 160gsm photocopy paper for using shimmer
sprays as it don't curl up or wrinkle I ended up with this.

The paper was spritz with Blue blitz shimmer spritz
I used a Kanban Christmas stamp and stamped all over
in versafine smokey grey ink i cut out my background and
 matted onto silver mirror card, I also used a EK Success punch
 for the border in the centre I used my TH paper rosette die which
 i haven't used for a long time and cut out two paper rosettes
using the same paper and cut out a few circles with mirror card
matted the rosette's onto them
cut out a smaller circle and added a creative expressions
Christmas quote and added it in the centre of the rosette's.

Off to make a few tags or a card or two

Few Quick Christmas Cards

Hi And good afternoon
 It has been raining on and off
 since yesterday evening, Its back to work for me this evening
I have just spent some time making a start on some Christmas
cards nothing fancy when the Docrafts Creativity mag came out a few
 weeks ago i brought a few of the Christmas Stamps and the Embossing
folders and thought i could do some some quick cards with no stamping on
just embossing just using 2 of the embossing folders i got a bit bored and
ended up stamping on one of the cards, these are the four i made.

I also used my crafters companion for the shapes embossed
and cut out then and embossed with the paper mania Christmas
tree and all the white backing on all four cards are the paper mania
snowflakes embossing folder and added some gold ribbon.

Same Background Just embossed the tree and cut
out and embossed the tree with the Christmas folder.
 This one again i used the same snowflakes folder
and stamped the sledge and embossed it and just added
a few red gems.

This one i used the baubles again cut out and embossed
in silver and added a bow to the centre bauble.
