I couldn't resist the amazing subscription offer in Simply Cards and Papercraft. Three stamps and all the stuff needed to start playing with guilding flakes. Wow what a treat! Anyway to begin with I've used the deer stamp and remembering a demo that Kay did on one of her shows created a background for the deer and then mounted my image up on some of my best Christmas papers. Oooooooooh it was quite a decision cutting into these 12" by 12" specials I can tell you, but I'm glad I did.
The version above uses some gorgeous holly paper with gold pattern and below the same design but the silver holly pattern is printed on vellum. How gorgeous is that? Wish I had bought more of it. It's been in my stash so long I can't even remember where it originated, but I love it.
and finally using gold vellum!
I don't usually do batch card making, but someone wanted two cards for their Mum and Dad at both sides of the family so it seemed like a good idea. I did the same thing making the cards for the grandparents - see my post below.

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend.

Last minute cards ordered by one of my daughter's workmates - one for each of the grandparents. Thought it would be nice to do the same card (don't want any fighting), but just slightly different so did one in silver and one in gold.
Very quick to make as the background was taken from some cardstock I won many years ago and the bauble is a Marianne die. I thought about mounting it on vellum, but while I was searching for white vellum I found some gorgeous sheets of opaque plastic and I love the effect. The baubles are very solid, but have a love semi see through quality to them too. Little things make me happy! Ribbon, a crystal and cuttlebug tag dies complete the cards.

Off for a glass of wine now celebrating that I've almost finished all my cards.
Have a good evening everyone.

Seems like ages ago now, but what a fabulous weekend it was with such fantastic friends.
Great memories scrapped using Craft Artist and a digi kit which I can't remember the name of - sorry. I do remember the quote was a freebie from a very talented lady at Word Art World.
