With Love at Christmas

Hello and happy Sunday!

I was recently inspired (as I always am!) by the fabulous Jules-always with a heart blog in making today's card for 2 reasons - 1: is that she has been making stunning Christmas cards using Etsy images and 2: because it's got hearts on it!! 💕

The image is called Watercolour vintage Christmas window (sorry I can't link it directly as it's against Stampin Up rules if you are a demonstrator) but you should  be able to find it from that description.

The background paper is from the Art studio, I also used a stitched square die and twine. My sentiment is computer generated. I also added a tiny bit of glitter to the hot air balloon heart!

The brads are Stampin up adhesive-backed-metallic-gems

I love all of the images in this set and have made lot's more Christmas cards which I will share soon.

Downton Abbey card

Here is a card that I made using the Crafters Companion Downton Abbey cd:

The image, sentiment and background paper is printed from the cd and I mounted it onto some craft card. I used some circle dies to cut a ring of rose gold glitter paper and the flowers were punched from a very old Stampin Up punch.

The brads are  Stampin Up adhesive backed metallic gems.
