No spooled items for the Southern Girls Challenge... a Christmas card

Good morning! well its challenge time over at the Southern Girls Challenge and this fortnight, the challenge is to not use and spooled items (thats ribbons, twine or cotton) on your projects.  WOW that's a hard ask for me, as I love big bows and gorgeous ribbons .... but I have come up with this Christmas card I hope you like :-).  We have fabulous sponsors this fortnight and I have showcased dies from Marianne design.  I am in envy of the winner of that prize, as I those gorgeous snowflakes would've been perfect for this card LOL!!!!!  Anyway, enough of me sobbing, I have used the following Marianne Design dies:

LR0184 (baubles)

 LR0178 (sleigh) 

and LR0176 (trees)

I dont have the reindeer that matches the sleigh, so have used a Sizzix one, but there is definitely a Marianne Design Reindeer die!

 I also used the snowflake punch outs from a Martha Stewart edger.

It's a shaker box card, and I have stuck thick card from officeworks between two pieces of acetate so the beads, glitter and silver snowflakes don't get caught among the die cuts.  The silver snowflakes are just tiny bead spacers that people use for jewellery... quite cheap, but effective all the same!  The backing DP is a digi paper from Pink Gem designs.  I have cut three baubles, two the right side of glitter paper (which will get folded in half with the glitter side in the centre), one with the glitter paper flipped over to the wrong side.  Take the two baubles folded in half and place them side by side, and then stick the third bauble over them... the baubles will align perfectly!  then you have a three dimensional bauble :-)  For the third bauble (the one on the top) you can back this prior to cutting with some JAC paper or run it through a sticker maker so it sticks down without the mess of glue.

so pop on over to the Southern Girls Challenge, and show us your creations!

christmas tri fold card

Good evening! Tonight I have done another tri fold card this time for christmas.  I'm using my new Marianne dies and they are devine! I found that if I run them through my machine with greaseproof paper (waxed) the cardstock popped out much easier.  IThe snow is sparkly fluff, and stickles to decorate too! Ribbon is from American Crafts, papers are 3 bugs in a rug- let it snow, and Kaiser- wish upon "twinkle". the sentiment is from a kaiser craft set "christmas sentiments". 

I am entering this card into The Sweet Shop's sketch and Simon Says stamp Challenge of multifold cards- pop over and have a look at everyones awesome creations

Thanks for stopping by XOX Tania

birthday card using marianne dies

Good evening...well the last couple of days I seem to be getting all my "presents" at once!!! my package of Marianne Design dies arrived today, so of course, I HAD to play LOL!!!! I have used the embossing/cutting folder DS0907; ornate butterfly LR0113; and  doily flower circle LR0168. The inside butterflies are using a medium EK sucess puch and the smaller butterflies are puch out from my Martha Stewart butterfly border punch.
