Christmas card with gilded flakes

On this card I tried something new which was working with gilding flakes. I have had a container of it in my stash for more than 15 years, but I have never tried to work with it before. But it does give a very nice effect, so I will definitely try it again, even though it is very messy.

For this card I have used some red paper with a gold print from my stash plus some white cardstock. I have used dies from Sue Wilson - Lattice Window and from Spellbinders - Elegant Ovals. And I decorated it with a few halfpearls from my stash, a very simple but elegant looking card.

Snowman Christmas card

This card is a bit more time consuming but I think it is worth using the extra time on making a pretty card:

For this card I used white and a dusty blue cardstock from my stash + paper from Craft and You's "Frozen Paper" collection, the image of the snowman is also from that collection. I have used dies from Spellebinder - Matting Basics 6x6, Sue Wilson - "Eve" and "Frosty corner" from the festive collection, the Happy Christmas is from Tattered Lace and the pine branch is from Marianne Design. Flowers, halfpearls and ribbon is from my stash. The border around the image is diecut 4 times and then glued together to make an raised frame, I think it adds a nice effect to the image.

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.

Card with Christmas bauble

I have bought a lot of Christmas dies throughout the years, so this year I am trying to use as many different ones as I can. This is another example of that:

For this card I have used papers from Galeria Papieru from their "The Cricket on the Hearth" collection. I also used red and green cardstock. Dies are from Spellbinders - Matting basics 6x6, Eve from Sue Wilsons festive collection, the wreath is from Sara Davies Signature collection and the bauble is from Dixi Craft. Flowers and halfpearls are from my stash.

Christmas card with Santa

I have made another Christmas card this and this time Santa is starring on the card:

I have used red, green and shiny silver cardstock and the paper with trees as well as the Santa image are from Kaisercrafts "Silent Night Collection". I have used dies from Spellbinders - Matting Basics 6x6 and Elegant Ovals, Sue Wilsons Festive Collection and the tree is from Dixi Craft. I dressed it up with a few halfpearls and a sticker which says Merry Christmas in Danish.

Christmas baking

It is time to start baking the Christmas cookies so here is William working on making the dough for "pebernødder".

Besides "pebernødder" we are going to make "brunkager" and "vaniljekranse" and when we get a little closer to Christmas we are gonna make the sweets we usually have. They have to be made last, because once they are made, they have a tendency to disappear very fast ;-).



Snowflake Christmas card

This is also a very quick card to make:

I used some shiny silver cardstock and some speciality paper from my stash which had silver stars on it, it has been in my stash for so many years, that I have no idea where I bought it, and I used Spellbinders Matting Basics 6x6 for the squares. For the snowflake I used the Winter Snowflake from Tonic Studios. I used some parchment paper and Marianne Design COL1398 for the banner and the phrase is a sticker.
