A slimline Christmas card, using coordinating dies instead of the stamp set

Hi Everyone,

How are you getting on with your Christmas cards? 

I am really proud of myself this year - the plan to make at least one or two Christmas cards every month has totally paid off! I will finally have enough cards for my closest friends and family, woohoo! I plan to step it up with 3 cards a month next year, that way I might even have some cards to spare! ;o)

I am on the Trinity Stamps blog again today, sharing a fun idea on using the coordinating dies for my focal image, instead of the actual stamp set. Have you ever tried it? It won't work with every stamp&die set, but when it does, it makes the investment in the coordinating dies so much sweeter!




Pop over and say hello if you have a moment!

Stay safe and crafty,


Mirella

A whimsical Christmas card - Mr Rabbit is Hot Stuff! Or is it his coffee?

Hi Everyone,

I am sharing a fun and whimsical Christmas card on the Trinity Stamps blog today. 

Trinity are one of the amazing sponsors of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers 2020 Fall/Winter Blog Hop, and so I wanted to make a coffee themed card to share with you all. 

I used this opportunity to make another Christmas card for my 2020 stash, and I also got to play with the adorable Dir-Tea Bunny again! Want to know why this card makes me giggle? Pop over to the Trinity Blog, and find out!


Stay safe and crafty,

Mirella
