For the first card I was inspired by the sketch over at LIM, keeping it all very simple. The sentiment is a freebie. I used a stitched die to cut the panel, and I also want to give credit to Imke of My Crafty Place for her idea of stapling on the sequins.
This card is for:
Less Is More - #370 Sketch
4 Crafty Chicks - #400 Less Is More
Rudolph's Day - April

For the second card I was inspired by the CASE card over at CCC, but I went with a Christmas theme. I used a MB heart die and a background stap from Tim Holtz, heat embossed with white and I applied grey DI.
This card is for:
52 Christmas Card Throwdown - Knitting or Sewing
Crafting By Designs - Christmas
City Crafter Challenge - #09 CASE the provided card
Oh that is just the most perfect use of the LIM sketch! Love it. The other card is beautiful too - love the knitted effect.
ReplyDeleteOh and thanks for entering at CCCB!

Oh my, 2 such lovely cards, and I really like the CAS look of the first one. These poinsettias look like cross stitch, and TFS the sequin stapling idea. How did you hold in place long enough to staple it?! The Nordic gray background design on #2 looks impressive with the white heart topper and then adding these bright poinsettias as the design...especially like the sentiment detail too. Well done, Miss Pia! TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards Pia, the first one is a brilliant take on the sketch and the second one is a super CASE - both are fabulous designs.

The first one is sooooo much CAS!!! Wow! I would never succeed in doing something as this. No one CASEing from me, surely LOL :D
ReplyDeleteThe stapling on the sequins is a brilliant idea!
The second card is very elegant, that background looks as lace and make the heart pop out. Again, the stapling adds a so different touch. You has bee so accurate applying the staples without ruining the cardstock!
Both of your Christmas cards are lovely. The 2nd card is a perfect case for the card at City Crafter this week, thanks so much for joining us :)
