Cards & Cutters

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that your New Year will be a productive one.
Below is my card for Scrapbok Fantasies December card sketch challenge.


Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Basic Grey Lime Rickey (part of a kit I've had for quite a while)
Stamps: CC designs-Swiss Pixies-Laying Nora, Sentiment-Studio G
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versa Pinecone
Copics: (E43, 47) (E50, 51, 53) (Y0000, 02, 08)
Other: Diamond Stickles

I was lucky enough to receive an eCraft electronic cutter (must have made the 'nice' list) and I've been having a great time experimenting with various papers and shapes. I really like the fact that you don't need cutting mats, you can buy sets of images on SD cards, or it can be connected to your computer. I'm sure it will be put to good use in my cardmaking and scrapbooking. You can even cut fabric with it but I'm not sure if I'll be trying that.

Back Again

I haven't had much time for blogging lately, especially with Christmas so close. So far I have done no shopping, which is cutting it fine even for me.
 I've still managed to find time for a little bit of crafting. This is my card for Scrapbook Fantasies November card sketch challenge. Once again I'm cutting it a bit fine. I decided to make it a Christmas card, and thanks Paula for inspiring me to finally use my snowman stamps.


Materials used:
Copics: R59, B32, YG23, C1, YR16
Stamps: Snowman-Stampendous, Sentiment-Hot Off The Press.
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
I also used Stickles and Glossy Accents for a bit of sparkle.
