Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing a 90th birthday card I created for a friend who is turning 90 in December. As December is a busy month and very hot down here in Australia, he had his party early.
For the card base, I used Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's Side Panel Card die set which creates a 5 x 7 inch card.
For the blue panels, I pulled out Kristina Werner's Dots on Dots Stencil Pack. I love that she is creating 6 x 9 stencils as I love making larger cards and this gives me more options.
The "Happy", "Birthday" and "90th" are also from Made To Surprise.
I used the whiskey glasses from Spellbinders Love on the Rocks die set for the middle portion of the card.
This is a look at the back of the card. I added the white panel and added a stamped sentiment, leaving enough room for a personal message to be added.
Hi Crafty Friends, Today I am sharing three Christmas cards using Spellbinders Cozy Toes Slippers die set that was the large die of the month for October 2024. This was such a popular set that they have released a coordinating set that can be used all round. But before I use that sent I wanted to play a little more with the Christmas version. 
For my first card I added Santa to the slippers. I also added a couple of sentiments. 
The next one features Rudolph. It’s fun to select the papers for the pjs. Again I added the two sentiments.
For my final card, I used the cute penguins. This time round, I crossed the legs when I attached them to the card.
I added a stamped sentiment to the inside of the card, keeping it fairly simple.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing yet another Christmas card. This one is a Slimline Floating Cube card and is another tutorial from Sam Calcott. You can find her instructions on how to create this here.
Recently when I was looking for a die, I discovered that I had several ornaments already assembled from Elizabeth Craft Designs Winter Ornaments die set. This is an older die set, but it seemed silly not to use some of the ornaments, so I pulled them out for this card.
I added a foiled sentiment to the bottom of the card, which is a Spellbinders Betterpress Plate.
Here is a look at the back of the card. I added another one of the ornaments and a sentiment.

Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing the last of the Postal Collage Christmas cards, I have shared recently. Again this card uses products from Waffle Flower Crafts and Spellbinders. This is another 5 x 7 card, which I prefer over A2 sized cards.
The Postage Collage stencil used here is called Vertical Tree and is another from Waffle Flower Crafts. After stencilling the tree, I splattered over the whole image using white paint for a snowy look.
For the background I used Spellbinders Starry Snowfall 3D Embossing Folder, apply white pigment ink to the raised areas after embossing.
To finish off the front of the card I added an older sentiment from Made To Surprise.
For the inside of my card I added a panel of embossed card to the bottom of the card.
I also added a Christmas sentiment and postage cancellation images which are all from Made to Surprise.
