Spring Christmas

Posted on by Liz

Let’s face it. Spring is on hiatus, so a Christmas card feels just as appropriate as a spring card and we’re nearly in April already! I am loving my stay in London. We spent last night at the Savoy Theatre for the ‘Let It Be’ musical and it was very good indeed! Although I admit I loved my little shopping spree in the M&Ms world afterwards as well, heh.

Anyway, card! This one is made with blank white card, purple card and pion papers. The image is from Inkido and the ribbon is from a local shop, as are the purple pearls I believe. As always, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the branches are made with a Martha Stewart puncher. I cannot recall where the snow crystal is from unfortunately.

Oh holiday, how I needed thee. It’s already a couple of days into the holiday and I am very much enjoying not having a long list of “need-to-dos”. I am however considering purchasing a cutter and some paper and make some cards while on holiday though, heh..

The stamped sentiment caught the flash a bit, but it says “have yourself a very happy birthday” and is from Lili of the Valley. Its ink really isn’t quite as pale as it looks in the photo, heh. As is the pre-coloured image I have used. The colourful buttons are from Craftwork Cards and are called card candy. All the flowers are (as always) from Wild Orchid Crafts and the branches are made with a Martha Stewart puncher.

Time for a purple card! As it is Lili of the Valley’s 9th birthday today, a card using their stamps seems highly appropriate. Obviously, the stamp is by Lili of the Valley, coloured in with copics, and the sentiment stamp is from there too. I have used paper from the first paper pack I bought, as well as paper from a small First Edition paper pad and some scraps I had left over. The leaves are made with a Martha Stewart punch, various flowers, ribbon and a pre-made bow from Wild Orchid Crafts. The layout I did here is a version of a criss-cross card.

I was bitten by the crafting bug this weekend and got six or seven cards made. I’m starting to get a nice pile of them now for when I have less time to make any.

On this card I have used various bits of background paper I have had for ages, a Lili of the Valley stamp I coloured in with Copics, lots of pearls, leaves made with a Martha Stewart puncher, ribbon from a local shop (I’m pleased how the bow turned out) and some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

This card has been entered into the following challenges:

Lili’s Little Fairies – Pearls
Sketchy Colors – Green, Lilac and white
Allsorts – Things with wings
No matter which challenge – Ribbons and bows

Thank you so much to Sketchy Colours for having my card as a winner of this challenge. I love my new stamps and paper!

This is another card made on request. As usual I don’t remember where the background papers are from. This time it’s actually bugging me as I wouldn’t mind another sheet or two of it. Oh well! The flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the branches are made with a Martha Stewart puncher. I have used a die cut pre-coloured images from Lili of the Valley, some pearls, a 3D butterfly and some plain card stock (purple and green) as well.
