Kraftyhands September Challenge...

I cannot believe it is already September, and that our summer that never was is nearly over!  On a positive note this does mean that it is time again for the Kraftyhands Challenge.  This month we are asking you to create something using Kraftyhands products that incorporates Ribbon or Lace.

Here is the card that I have made this month:

I have used the Team Santa CD, which can be found here.

Recipe & Method:

1.  Cut and score White card to an A5 size.

2.  Mount Purple Cardstock.

3.  Print and cut the Pyramid Topper and mount onto Purple Cardstock, then onto Turquoise Glitter Card and finally onto White Card Stock.

4.  Print out the Blue Spotty Paper and layer onto Purple Card Stock.

5.  Tie a ribbon around the Pyramid Topper and adhere to Card.  Add the bow.

6.  Add the Merry Christmas banner that has been mounted onto Purple Card Stock.

It's Christmas In Kraftyhands Land!

This week I received the Team Santa CD from Kraftyhands and within minutes my craft room had become a winter wonderland with glitter and sparkles everywhere!  I had really good fun with this CD, it is so festive and cheerful.

Here is the first card I made:

Card Set 1.

I printed and cut the images from Card Set 1, then added some glitter to the image, as you can see in the close up picture below.  I used the Baubles No1 backing paper.  I have mounted this onto Dark Red and Green card stock to give it that extra Christmas feel.  The added snowflake was from Paperchase that I bought last Christmas, I then embellished it with glitter.

These little Elves are just so cute, you can't help but keep making more cards with them!

Pyramid Set 5

This next card was made using Pyramid Set 5, again I added glitter to the image to give it that Christmas magic!  I used the Blue Spotty background paper, and some silver card stock for matting.

I've embellished using Silver Ribbon and the snowflakes again from Paperchase.

Card Making Set 2

For my third card I used Card Making Set 2 as I could't resist these sweet little characters!  I have again used the Blue spotty background papers.  This time I used a lovely deep purple textured card for the background with some purple glitter card to embellish.  The flowers and leaves and a 3D punch and I have added the punched snowflakes on top for a winter feel.
