I got a bit carried away this week and made 2 cards with co-ordinating envelopes ! :-)

First up is a card using  a Layered Tree Craft Die  and Falling Snow Stencil and for the envelope I used a Holiday Delivery stamp and die set


To make the snowflakes blue I first inked through the mask with Hero Arts Cornflower Blue and then smooched some embossing paste over the top, looks good eh ! :-) 

The bucket is from a beach accessories set in the Silhouette Studio and cut on the Cameo :-)
I trimmed 1.5 cm from the front edge and adhered a strip of Washi Tape down the inside edge to add a bit of interest :-)


next up is this cute card usingHappy MeowdayBelieve Stencil and Furry Christmas stamp sets and again I used the Holiday Delivery stamp and die set, for the envelope




I cut a piece of white card and secured the stencil over the top, then masked the 'believe' part. I inked through the mask with Hero Arts Red Royal ink, then removed the mask and masked the stripes. I then inked with pumice stone DI and then smooshed some perfect pearls over the top to give a silvery look. I used the antlers from the Furry Christmas set,,,  I think this card is particularly cute don't you ? :-)
