I needed  to make  a  card  today  once  I had  cleaned  the house  and  done  last minute  shopping  . 
I havent made one  for  a  few  days now  and  it  was  nice  to have  a change  from  Christmas cards  .Why  I  chose  a  baby  card  I  do  not  know  although  my  niece is  expecting  so  maybe it  will  be  a girl  . I love  this  cute  stamp  which is  House  Mouse  Baby  Blanket  .I  coloured it  with promarkers  and  added  Glossy  accents and  stickles  .  The  main  card is  made  of  double sided  gingham card  and  I  used  Crafters  companion  Diesire  Fancy  Edge'ables  Renaissance or the border .
I  dry  embossed  the  card  with  Sue  Wilson  Snowflake  Lattice    folder  and also  the  backing  for  the  stamp  to  which I  added  liquid  pearls . The  frame is  a  Spellbinders  die  cut . 
The  embellishments  I  added  are  Organza  ribbon  and  bow  ,pearls,lace  and  a  printed  Safmat  sentiment  .  I  doubt if  this  will be  my  last  card  before  Christmas but if it  is, I  would  like to  wish  all  who  look  at my blog  a  very  Happy  Christmas  and  thank  you  for  all  your  comments.

I  said  a  few  days  ago  I had made  my  last  Christmas  card  for  this  year !  I  obviously  can't stop  as here is  todays  card  .
I used  a  black  base  card  and  edged it  with  Gilding  Wax  The next layer  I  designed  using  Serif  . The  robin  is  a  digi  from  either  CC or  Sheena  Douglas  ? .  I coloured it  with  promarkers  and  glittered it  . (Then  I  lost  the  robin  and  spent  30 minutes  looking  for it  .Does  anyone  else  have  that  problem  ? It had  fallen in  the  bin  !)  I  added  Ribbon , Bow  and  stickles  glitter on  the  snowflakes  .

I got  thes ebutton  embossed   cards a  couple of  months  ago  because  they  took my eye  . .
I  highlighted  the  buttons on  the  card  with  Panpastls  using  pan  pastels in  Pink and  brpwn and  stickles .
I used  a  rabbit lotv stamped image which I  coloured  with promarkers,
I used  ordinary  buttons  as  well .  The  forecast tomorrow is for more rain and dullness. Perhaps  I will  be  able to  make  another  card 'or  two !!'or  will  the housework take over ?????

I have  made this  special  card for my husband  this year  .  I  used  a  lattice  die  from Robert Addams  to  die cut he  flaps on the main  box card  .  I  added  many  snowflakes  either  die  cut   or  sequins  , I used  many  scaraps  from my  stash and peel  offs  for the  words  and  some of  the  decoration  . I backed  some  of  the  lattice  folds with mirri card  .
I kept the  colours   blue  and  white   .I like  the  effect of  a  box  card  as it  always  a  surprise  when it  pops  out of  the  envelope

I had  almost  forgotten this  die  I had  by Sheena  Douglas  of  Christmas lights but  thought  I  would use it  as  a border  with  the  Christmas  tree ,  That  is  a  die  cut  from  a  freebie  die  but it  cuts  so  easily  .
I used   Papermania  paper  as  a backing  paper  and a  frame  from the same  collection  too . I embossed  a piece of  red  paper with  Sue  Wilson  embossing  folder  . I coloured  the  tree  die cut  and the lights  with  promarkers  and  stickles  .
The  embellishments  that I  used  are  liquid pearls, dewdrops ,gingham  bow and lotv  sentiment   tag.

I  embossed  this  base  card  once  again  with  my  favourite  embossing  folder  Sue  Wilson  Snowflake Lattice    to which I  added  Liqud  Pearls  in  white  .
The stamp is  from Little  Claire's  Dinkies Brrr !  which  I  coloured  with  promarkers, stickles  panpastels  and  liquid pearls  . I layered  it onto  a  die  cut  from Cricut  cartridge  .  ,
I  was  hoping  that  this  was the last of  my Christmas  cards  but  then  another  challenge  starts  and I just  have  to  make  another  .At this  rate  I  will  have  enough  for  next  year  !!!!!

I just  love  this new  stamp  from  LOTV  .It  comes  with  a  few others  including  a  larger  fish  but  this one  just  appealed  to me  on his  own  .  I  coloured it  with  Promarkers  and  glossy  accents  which I  cracked  when  it  was  dry  to  give the  impression of  a  broken  bowl  although  it  doesn't  show up on  the  photo  . 
I  embossed  a  piece  of Little  Claire's  snowy  ombre  paper  with  a  raindrop  embossing  folder  and  used  glossy  accents t give the effect of water spilling .The  embellishments  are  a  spellbinders  Regal ovals  die ,stickles  and  peeloffs  for  the  words.
I  wanted  a card for  a belated birthday  so  I designed  this for  that reason.
