SEASON GREETINGS

Here is some of my students with their Christmas cards

The cards above is made in different colour wording

Traditional Christmas Card

Good Morning

With only 22 more sleeps until Christmas Day, I thought it only appropriate to post a Christmas Card.  This is a card with minimal embellishments as the embossing folder that I used are just so pretty and I did not want to have to much "distractions".  This embossing folder is a new one that I just bought about 2 weeks ago.  I used some sturdy foil to make the Christmas bubble and then I just added some bling.

I used the traditional Christmas colours of green and red on this one.

Thank you for staying and reading my post.  Have a pleasant day and week.

Hugs,

Marika

DOILIES 27cm

Hello to all my peeps

Well, couple days of holiday is past and it is back to work and planning for the next couple of months. Recently I was asked by a friend for some large doilies 27cm,  and this was the result.

These doilies she wants to use in her scrap pages for her friends, so will be asking her to please shear them with us. The doilies was cut out with Cutmates card stock,  which I just love using, as it really cuts well on the Cricut machine.

GIFT WRAP CARDS

Hello friends,

Here in Pretoria we have had some variety of weather from sunny days to afternoons & evenings with rain to hail. Luckily no damages besides a few leaks, as our big Avocado tree, leaves and branches blocked some of the cutters

As you can see from the previous post, it was decided to donate 3 Santa Shoe boxes for girls. It was strange for me with adult children to go and buy 12 year old clothes, sure felt like doing sampling shopping and what fun that was. After the boxes was covered, there was some gift wrap left and yip... creativity shouted at me.

So the result was making 3 Casual cards

 

Oh yes and the Card Candi just popped in hand and had to be paste too :-))

SANTA SHOEBOX PROJECT

Hello to all my peeps, hope to find you in a healthy and happy day. Clear sky and nice and hot here in Pretoria.

This year I have decided one of the charities I will be supporting is SANTA SHOEBOX, and in that way cheering some cheer with the children. The children range in ages from small till teenagers, and to give from the heart is always so satisfying. You can donate as many shoeboxes filled as you budget allows or you may go and make a donation.

Have a great day !!!

CHARMED NOTES

Hello to all my followers and to the peeps that just pop in to have a look :-))

If you are a card maker like me, well then you don't throw away anything that you think can always be re-use no matter how small. The squares and flowers for this card, was cut offs from a bigger punch for a scrap page. The resin notes and harp was items I made ages ago.
So voila... a casual card in seconds -))

BAKERS TWINE

Hello to all my followers, sorry have not been blogging for awhile due to health reasons.

CARD CANDI - FLOWER

As Card Candi is my favorite as present and they are so easy and fun to use, I thought why not show you a tutorial of how to make flowers with any of the plain colours.
