Running a bit late….sorry…..here is a card I cased from Alisa, my upline.  She made these with the girls at Link n Learn…..so I added my touch and put glitter on my Santa Beard.  This santa is made using punches…..even the hat is a square punch cut in half….cool isn’t it?

Christmas Week 3

October 19th, 2009 by Bev

Not too sure about this one…but I was doing a challenge at the same time. It was to use the colours Certainly Celery, Lavender Lace and Bashful Blue and use a border punch like you have never used it before.  So here it is.  But I might redo this card using some other colours of my choice and show you the difference….so keep an eye out for the next card.

Just love the way the ribbon is tied on this star.  You actually fold it up through punched holes and there is no tying at all…..but looks sooo neat.

Christmas Week 1

October 8th, 2009 by Bev

There is 12 weeks to Christmas…scary isn’t it? I will be putting a Christmas idea up each week to keep you inspired and to help you out with ideas for Christmas.    Maybe this will get me organised too…lol.  This is the 1st one…..a Christmas card for that special person……..this card is called a “Side Step Card”.  The card does not show you what it really looks like because you cannot see the glitter sparkling…….but it glitters all over.  Hope you like it.
