Simple and Stylish Christmas Cards using Spellbinders - 'Sealed for the Holidays Collection' - Etched Dies - 'Holly Sprigs' and Spellbinders - 'Tis The Season Collection' - Etched Dies - 'Christmas Blooms'.

Dear Bloggers,

These cards were quick and easy to make using Spellbinders - 'Sealed for the Holidays Collection' - Etched Dies - 'Holly Sprigs.' It was fun digging out my old stash of washi tapes to secure the stems in place.

I used my Glimmer Foil Machine for the first time and foiled the Christmas Sentiments. It was a bit of a learning curve but after a few goes the foiling process went really well.

I cut the flowers using one of my favourite set of dies for Xmas Flowers: Spellbinders - 'Tis The Season Collection' - 'Christmas Blooms'.

I then used a variety of coloured, embossed, patterned and glitter paper and white cardstock to complete the cards.  I thought finished products were quite stylish.

Birthday cards for small children using the Sizzix dies, 'Basic Zoo Animals' by Jennifer Ogborn. Post 8 (8 of 8)

Dear Bloggers,

I love  African animals and the 'Basic Zoo Animal Dies' from Sizzix has an adorable lion, elephant and giraffe. The cuts are simple, chunky and lots of fun to use. I paired the animals with: papers from my stash, textured backgrounds made using my embossing folders and balloons.  Each card is simple, clean cut, quick and fun to make. I thought they would make great birthday cards for small children turning 1 and 2, so I added big bold numbers and birthday sentiments.
