Sheesh, these took me almost a whole day in the end. But, besides the photos, I was determined to use the Winter Cabin die as it reminds me so much of their house in Germany.
I used:
- 6" x 6" square white card stock
- self adhesive sparkly film in rich blue for the sky and clear sparkly over white card for the foreground
- Memory Box 'Winter Cabin Landscape' die, cut using white Centura Pearl card
- Cheery Lyn's 'Santa's sleigh and reindeer' die, cut from black card already backed with double sided sticky sheet
- photos of Mia and Livi, re-sized (umpteen times!) and die cut with an oval Nestie
- the greetings are sparkly 'Glitterations' peel offs by Papermania
- more peel offs to spell out the girls' names and also to add a few stars here and there (snigger, the girls have star shaped earrings 'cos I got little glue mark on Livi's photo)
- Rudolph's nose was glittered with 'Xmas Red' Stickles and 'Icicle' Stickles added to the cabin and trees
I made these whilst in the throes of back pain spasms the other week - it's not easy positioning peel offs whilst yelping :)

That was a super idea of Len's! Too bad he didn't offer to carry it out, but your did a beautiful job. Special cards for special little girls!
ReplyDeleteHave to say a great idea and great cards and gorgeous girls.Anne x
ReplyDeleteVery clever idea using this beautiful die. It is really so pretty, and I'm pleased to see you're getting so much mileage with it. The girls will absolutely love this and that you personalized it especially for them. Love that mirror paper too. So brilliant with the white die atop it. Hugs & TFS
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your back is still giving you grief! Back pain is so horrid!
ReplyDeleteYou have made 2 beautiful cards in spite of your back...that is wonderful in itself. The girls faces look so pretty and nice that you had a die that looks like their house too!
Methinks those little girls are going to love Grandma's cards.
Gorgeous cards Di.....how's the back now?

Bless your heart, Di, this has just gone on so horribly long. My heart goes out to you. I know what it's like, but I've never had it last so long and I sure hope it up and leaves. Please, can't you take a break from cards and blogging, both of which sound like they bring on the spasms?
ReplyDeleteYou took Len's brilliant idea and turned it into works of art for the little girls, with houses like their own, no less!! More treasures from the grandparents!!
Gentle hugs, Darnell
Such fab personalised cards!! Hugs Juls
