Here are my projects for the set Java Time - a notebook and a Christmas card.  

The notebook was bought in a sale and has been re-covered to include today's set.  

My Christmas card uses a piece left from a previous die cutting session, images from the set and the holly from Create with Pine Boughs.

FOSTV146 - Double Dutch Fold Card

This is a first for me but it is not a difficult fold so I am glad I gave it a try and hope you will too and play along with us at FOSTV.  This times challenge is number 146 and last for 2 weeks.

Double Dutch fold card instructions can be found here.  I decided to make another Christmas card - just in case I don't have enough already.  Still need one for hubby but stuck for ideas so far!

You can see the card and the various Marks Finest Papers butterflies and snowflake stamps that I used which can all be purchased here.  The snowflake die is from Spellbinders.

The stamp set for one lucky winner this time around is called Nutcrackers

Thanks for looking in - come back tomorrow as it is blog hop week and there are prizes to be won.

HHC242 & JUGS267

High Hopes Winter Mittens and Jugs Colours were used on this quick Christmas card which uses a High Hopes image and a Spellbinders mittens die.

 

I used fibres on the bottom of the mitten die for added interest and texture. My new Spellbinders die was used for the background.  Wishing you all a good week.

FOSTV145 - Red, Gold and Green

This times challenge at FOSTV is to use the colours Red, Gold and Green.  You can find the challenge here.

I made two cards.  The first is a simple Christmas card using the holly from Create with Pine Boughs and the sentiment from Cardinal.  The second card uses a very sparkly gold paper which was a nightmare to photograph, a die cut green panel and some Roses from the Roses stamp set which were coloured with H2Os.. 

Don't forget to check out the cards made by my team mates and to get your creative genes going.  The challenge closes on Sunday 23rd November.

One that got away

I made this card for last week's blog hop with the sentiment from the Cardinal set but then I forgot to post it.

The blue background was stencilled and placed behind the die cut card base. Small gems were placed around the star cut.  The sentiment from the Cardinal set was stamped onto a small blue circle.
