A CAS Christmas Card

Hello all you lovely jubbly people out there, how you all doing? Those who need hugs right now I'm sending MAHOOSIVE ones just for you ;-)

Ok so I have  CAS christmas card that I made for our postie-man, we really do have the best postman I think, nothing is ever too much trouble for him, he's awesome!

So I made a CAS card so I could put him his christmas tip in & wish him all the very best.

Now please bear with the piccies as some were hard to take.........I did try to capture the sparkle.

Ok so the paper I used I think is MME, but I cant truly remember :-(

The 'Snowflake' is a Spellbinders die which I've had...........well since this one was released, when ever that was lol.

Sorry about this pic it was done under different lighting conditions, I tried a few diff ones to capture the sparlkiness of this card.

Hopefully you can see the sparkle a wee bit better on this one. IRL it really was very sparkly & pretty, our postie loved it!!

The writing on the snowflake is from a Magnolia stamp which is actually a Christmas Carol 'Silent Night, Holy Night'. The glitter that is all over the snowflake is Tim Holtz 'Clear Rock Candy' Dry Glitter.

The sentiment is LOTV.

The red pearls I had didnt match the paper & that bugged me so I got a copic & coloured a cream pearl to match the paper............hey presto perfect match ;-)

Will be round later to visit you, been busy today having a good clean & sort out of bedrooms so off now to get some crafty time in.........Natalie permitting me lol.

Thank you soooooooo very much for your comments, they really do make me smile, each & every one does.

Take care lovelies & thanks for stopping by mmwah  xxxxx

Although this was made in 2014 I'm only now showing it on my blog. I have a couple of crimbo cards I havn't shown yet lol.

Challenges I'm Entering..........

Top Tip Tuesday - Keep It Simple (Coloured my pearl with a copic so it matched the paper)

CAS Christmas Card

Hello everyone how are you all? Well its busy busy busy for everyone I think lol. I'm barely getting chance to craft let along blog, today has been the 1st time I've been on my blog since my last post. I've actually done some crafting today though as I have sooooooo many things still to make eeeekkkk!!!

Yeah panicking & getting stressed a wee bit now lol.

A good note though as on friday 13th we got our new van yayyyyy. We currently have a Renault Traffic with wheelchair access for Natalie, it has a ramp on the back to push her into the van. This I cannot do as she's sooooo heavy. However we have now got the Renault Master which is soooooo much bigger & has an electric tail-lift.........its so much bigger it doesnt go under our car port properly :0)

However its sooooo much better for Natalie, we took her out in it for the day on Sunday & I think she loved it more than us lol.

Anyhoo's I'm babbling on. I'm here with a CAS card...........yes me but its a case I must. This one is for the day-care centre that Natalie goes to. Although she hasn't been today as she was up most of the night so it wasn't fair to send her when she would be really tired. She's going tomorrow though, fingers crossed as she has a Christmas Jumper competition :0)

See I told you........its def clean & simple for me lol. I scalloped the edges with a Martha Stewart punch. I used white card & a burgundy card.........which is showing up really dark here :0( I cut them all to size then punched the scalloped edge & layered them up.

The stamp is Creative Expressions Ornate Bauble stamp & I heat embossed it with a dark red. The sentiment in the middle is LOTV & I added bit of stickles in red tinsel I think it might be called. Excuse the pics as the glitter is still wet.........I normally always wait til it dries before taking pics, sorry :0(

The top white card I embossing with the snow folder. I added gorgeous velvet ribbon, made a small bow & added a 'Heart Shaped Pearl' to the centre of the bow. 

Well thats it from me I better go as I've got my grand-daughter to bath. Payton is staying here tonight as Arjay goes into hospital again tomorrow morning...........yes again. He's having his hhips done.............yes AGAIN!!! The doc looked at the scan pics just under 2 weeks ago & decided that although he was happy with his hip placement he's now not. So our little fella has got go through it all again a week before christmas. 

I will be round to catch u

p with you as soon as I possibly can. Please dont comment if you dont have time, I know we are all super duper busy at this time of year.

Take care & big hugs to all mmwah
