Christmas Wishes

Good Morning

After seeing the lovely book cards over on Edna's blog, I was inspired to have a go!  I always struggle with ideas for Christmas gifts for the teachers at Emma's school and thought this was the perfect gift. I need to make 3 more!

For this book card I used papers from Making Cards magazine, sillver mirror card for matting and layering, and I die cut some Marianne flourishes out of the silver card.

I die cut some of the ironworks dies to add to the spine of the book.

I cut out a frame for the inside and ran it through my big shot using Divine Swirls embossing folder.

I attached some silver organza ribbon to tie the card shut and the tealights are attached using foam pads.

My card is for the following challenges:

Dream Valley Challenges - Christmas

Good Afternoon

My card for today is made using the adorable Snowman cd-rom from Crafters Companion:

This is from the decoupage section and the backing paper is from the same cd. The mats are all made from holographic card, the snowflake border is a Memory Box die, the sentiment is Lili of the Valley, sat on an Spellbinders ironworks die.  Some frosty card candy has been added to complete the card.
