Card with a picture (4) + Tilda

In this card I wanted to make a snow-like sparkling effect. I lightly painted the card with decorating paste and covered it with glitter. I experimented and although I did not expect this kind of effect, I like it. I added Magnolia's Jingle Bell Tilda coloured with Promarkers, a red bow and poinsettia.

Reindeer

Tina and Vladka started a new challenge called "Ko me inspirira #20", meaning "When it inspires me". The rule is very simple - to be inspired by another Slovenian crafter.

My card was inspired by Maja, who embossed transparent paper and by Tina, who made a card with a hole at the front - I have never tried any of these techniques. I combined both inspirations and in my card covered the hole with embossed transparent paper.

I found the digi image of the reindeer on the Honking Donkey webpage and coloured it with Promarkers.



Christmas bird

Another set of small-sized Christmas cards. Here I used a lovely Sliekje’s free digi stamp image which I coloured with Promarkers.

Minimalistic Christmas tree

This one is just the opposite of my previous post. I got the idea for this card on Pinterest. I really liked it and decided to give it a try and create something different than usual. I made two versions, in red and green colour and I think I may try other (non-Christmas) colours as well.
If you are curious about the typical colours of Christmas and what do they represent you can read it here.

Mistletoe

I made this card after seeing Tina's tutorial. I would probably never try something like that and I learned that I can make a very simple and beautiful card without complicating too much.

 



Star

Another star-shaped card, which is quite small compared to a regular-sized card, but there is still enough space inside to write good wishes.

Christmas ornament

It is already December and very soon we will start decorating our homes… I already decorated this card where I used a stamped image of a Christmas ornament (I really like these stamps with seams which I borrowed from Natali; you can see them in my other posts as well).

Snowman

Two days ago the first snow in this season covered our village in white. Unfortunately there was just little of it and it melted very soon, so the kids couldn’t enjoy making a snowman. However I made my own snowman in this card.
