Double Gatefold Holly card - Kaszazz

Hello

A fancy fold Christmas card is today's share.
The panels of this double gatefold card were covered in papers, the edge of the left panel was die cut with a border die, and the underneath panel covered in the same paper as the inside and centre panels.
The sentiments from Christmas Cheer Gift tags set  by Kaszazz, were stamped in archival ink and die cut with the Shield die. They were then layered with a pearl brad and fixed to the card.
The Holly leaves die, also from Kaszazz, was cut from green card and also from green foil card, then separated, and the opposite pieces inlaid. This was added to the card with a button threaded with gold twine.

Finishing touch is three pearls added to the lower right front panel.

Bright and cheerful in Christmas red and green

Till next time

Silhouette Tree and Reindeer Cards-Kaszazz

Hello

These cards were created using the Silhouette Trees and Silhouette Deer stamps from Kaszazz.
Snowy and Sentiment stamps also from Kaszazz

The first deer was  stamped directly on to the card base and also on to a scrap to create a mask. The image was masked and the tree stamped three times over it at different heights, and the mask removed. A strip of gold foil tape was placed across the card, The second deer is stamped on to a second piece of card and fussy cut then mounted to the card. Rhinestones and stickles was added.

The deer and trees were stamped as before, this time on to a separate piece of card. The Snowflakes from Snowy & Friends set, were stamped and white embossed over the top. The top left corner was wrapped with ribbon and the piece then matted to pale blue card. Torn blue card is placed across the bottom of the panel and the top edge curled. The panel was fixed to the card base, the sentiment stamped and punched, then mounted over the ribbon. Rhinestones and stickles finish off.


These cards form part of the same set as the previous magnetic bookmark card.

Recipe Books... Ruby Rocket and more...

Hello.

Cookies and cakes, brownies and fudge... Ok, do I have your attention now?  You need somewhere to put all your favourite recipes and I have just the place... A Recipe Book!

The Book on the right came as a kit, which included so many inserts that I decided to create a second Recipe Book - the one on the left...

This is the inside of the one I made from scratch...

And the inside of the Kit Book...

The kit from Ruby Rocket included papers, stickers, dividers/tabbed sections...

So I split all the goodies in half and created two!

Now off to eat some of those cakes, cookies and brownies....

The same products have been used on all cards, with the exception of the main image, and the sentiment stamped on the insert.

 The first card is the Kookaburra

  Card 2 is the Possum

White card was first stamped with Watercolour Wreath and the Merry Christmas Sentiment from Ribbon Banner, using Archival inks, olive and red geranium.
This panel was then embossed in Stars folder, the edges distressed, and matted on to red card and fixed to a white card base.
The animal image was stamped in Watering can archival ink, and the Santa hat in geranium ink, on to white card, and the Gum leaves image stamped in olive on to green card.
The animal and hat Images were then coloured with pencils, and fussy cut. The gum flowers and nuts only were coloured, again with pencils. All images were then mounted to the card. A button threaded with red twine tied into a bow, and three small buttons coloured with alcohol marker were added to each card.
Small rhinestones were added to the animal eyes, glossy accents to the kookaburra's beak and the gum nuts, and stickles to the white button, the Santa hat fur trims and the gum flowers. Rhinestones coloured with alcohol marker were added to each card to finish the design.
