Red glitter Christmas card

Todays card is another quick card which can be nice at this time of the year:

For this card I used white, silver and red glitter cardstock and red glitter tape. I also used a chipboard snowflake from my stash. The only dies used here are the big snowflake from Dovecraft + the little oval which is from one of the Christmas sets that Sue Wilson has created. The chipboard snow flake is covered with glitter.

Another Maja Design Christmas card:

Again I used my scrap pieces, and even though I have used a lot of that recently I still seem to have a lot left. For the snow flakes I used white card stock and dies from Dovecraft "Christmas Basics snow flakes". I added a few halfpearls for decoration.

Christmas cards 2015 & 2016

I haven't shown my Christmas cards for the last 2 years, so here they are (at least the ones I could find pictures of).
2015:

And 2016:

From the pictures I can see that I have used dies from Sue Wilson, Spellbinders, Memory Box, Marianne Design, Precious Marieke, Impression Obsession and Dovecraft. I have also used some chipboard from Dusty Attic and some card toppers from DixiCraft. The papers are just different kinds I have in my stash.

I really need to get started on my Christmas cards and I also have plans about making gift tags, so maybe I should dedicate my next weekend to that, since Christmas is just around the corner.

50th birthday card

A colleague asked if I could make a birthday card for a friend that turned 50. The friend had biked to Paris, so he would like if somehow I could implement that in the card. I knew I had some paper that had Paris and the Eiffel Tower on it, and so I made this card:

From UHK Gallery I used the "Le Bistrot" paper from the "Allo Allo" collection and the small picture with the bike, and from Dovecraft I used papers from the 6×6 paper pad called "Sweet Paris". I have used dies from Spellbinders: Matting basics 6×6 and Elegant Ovals (inside the card), the Happy Birthday is from Tattered Lace, 50 is a magazine freebie die and for the leaves I used a China die. I inked the edges with Distress Ink - Vintage Photo, used flowers from WOC and some halfpearls from my stash.
Here is how the inside of the card look's like:
