Ths card was made with many techniques. The white card was embossed with an embossing folder, whilst the tree was stamped and embossed with clear powder. I then used Distress Inks to add the red ink with the resist technique. A few gems, and voila!

Xmas 2013 - Mini Card Series - #1

For those of you who know me would probably know I am part of a book club. Well, it is a girly gathering to talk about books we read, but mainly to have a good laugh and a girlly talk..and gigles :-)
Every year my intention is to make a series of cards for the group but never got the time. This year, I was stuck at home with a cold so had time togo through them! I made a mini card to each of one, much quicker to do but still a lot of fun!

I also made a serie of mini envelop to go with them using my great envelop punch board.

I will present them in batches....
----
Ca y est, cette annee j'ai enfin eu le temps de faire des cartes pour chacune des membres de notre club de lecture. J'ai decide de faire des mini cartes, rigolo et plus rapide...avec enveloppes assorties!
Je vais vous les presenter deux par deux...
 







Below is a card with its matching envelop.

Xmas 2013 Series - #3

Another beautiful card, yet very simple to make. I used my favorite color combination, brown paper, white and red. The paper was embossed with an embossing folder, I colored a few embossed items in white and added some red gems. Simple but lovely!
Again, the picture does not do any justice to this card...I really (really) need to improve my photography skills!!
-----
Encore une carte magnifique, bien que tres simple. J'ai utilise un des mes combinaisons de couleurs favories: papier marron, blanc et rouge. Le papier a ete embosse, puis j'ai colore quelques elements en blanc et rajoute des perles rouges.

Xmas 2013 Series - #1

Every year I start making cards with quite an ambitious target: make all my christmas cards by hand! And, of course, every year I fail miserably :-).
Why? Many reasons really...The first reason is that december is such a busy month, the busiest of the year, and so there is not much time to craft. 
So why don't I start before then? Good question! I wondered why myself. This year I had my answer: I am simply not in the Christmas mood before then! I cannot get my head round making cards, getting the presents ready etc before I see the Christmas tree up in the lounge :-). Then it strikes me that Christmas is round the corner and I'd better start making those cards ! And I then feel Xmassy ! lol

So this year I still have not managed to make them all, but I enjoyed making every one of these....and I will present them one by one...Have fun!

----

Chaque annee je commence a faire les cartes de Noel avec un objectif ambitieux: faire toutes mes cartes a la main! Et bien sur, chaque annee je n'y arrive pas...
Pourquoi? Plusieurs raisons...la premiere etant que le mois de decembre est le mois le plus charge de l'annee et donc je n'ai pas tellement de temps.
Pourquoi ne pas commencer avant donc? Bonne question! Je me suis demandee la meme chose et cette annee j'ai eu ma reponse: je ne suis tout simplement pas dans le mode Noel avant ca! Le declic se fait le jour ou je vois le sapin de Noel decore dans le salon :-). Et la, paniquee, je realise le peu de temps qu'il me reste, et enfin je me sens en mode Noel...

Alors cette annee ne sera pas l'exception: je n'ai toujours pas reussi a finir toutes mes cartes a la main. Mais j'ai adore faire chacune d'elle, et je vais vous les presenter une a une au fil de ce blog....Bon visionnage!
