Snowflake Fairy

First post for 2016 is a gorgeous digital stamp from Moonflower Digital stamps. I know Christmas is over but Winter is still here. I started this working on this image a few weeks ago, but lost my mojo. I have Printed her on Parchment paper done some embossing on the back and coloured her with Polychromas pencils. I have used sticky ink on her wings and the snowflakes and of course added glitter.

Hope 2016 will be a good one for you.

Christmas cards all done and mailed

What a sense of achievement when you finish 81 Christmas cards and have them all mailed by the 1st week in December. I generally try to start them around August and make about 3/4 a week. Well here a some of the ones I have made.

Parchment card from a pattern in a Parchment Craft magazine.

Parchment Grid Work

I needed to brush up on my Parchment grid work skills. I have used the same grid pattern on to different grids. The larger piece was worked on the PCA Bold Straight grid and the smaller piece on the Pergamano MultiGrid # 4. I have worked the embossing on both grids on the back of the paper and then turned the grid over with the paper still attached. Working through the grid I perforated the pattern using a Pergamano 4 needle tool (::) and a PCA 3 needle tool (...).The inside image for the larger piece came from the PCA Easy Emboss Christmas Coaster set and the snowflake (discontinued) in the smaller piece is a Pergamano rubber stamp. I have used a fairly new product called Sticky Ink and glitter on both images.
The whole point of this exercise was to see the size difference in the grids.

Now I need to make them into cards and send them off.

Black and White Butterfly Mask

I saw this digi on Make It Crafty and it just screamed to be made in parchment. I have done it in black and white. The image is the Butterfly Mask from the Masquerade Masks set. I took the image and opened it in Paint Shop Pro, duplicated it 3 times and arranged them as a frame. Printed the final image onto parchment paper and did some embossing  cutting and colouring.

I am entering this card in the

Power Poppy Inspiration

Today's post was inspired from a blog I follow called Power Poppy. The tutorial was how to make a Fold over Box. I followed the very good directions and came up with my version. I also made some Christmas Crackers to put inside it, tho you can put cards and envelopes in as well.
It didn't take very long to make the box. The crackers I made using my 1,2,3 Punch Board, following a tutorial from You Tube. The stamped topper is from Heartfelt Creations, I am not sure if it is still available.
Thank you Allison Cope from Power Poppy
