Welcome to Dottie about cards. I live on the Wirral and have been crafting for 10 years. I have a son and daughter and 6 grandchildren. I have been a craft tutor covering many aspects of cardmaking for 10 years. I was employed by a local craft company, sadly that came to an end so now I have now gone freelance.

Poinsettia

This easel card was made using Go Kreate large scallop oval and
large plain oval dies. The stamped image is Woodware's
new poinsettia stamp set. As you can probably see I love
poinsettias for Xmas. Usually I colour all my stamped
images with the fabulous promarkers.

Holly Wreath

Another class card using wreath stamp from Butterfly Kisses. I have
used nestability circle, Nellie's circle, holly punch and label
punches from stamping up. White background is Crafts Too
square embossing folder.

Poinsettia corners

This is another class card using stampendous cling rubber
corner stamp. The message stamps is from Woodware.
I have also used Martha Stewart corner punch.

snowflake card

This is one of the cards I am doing at a class at my house. I have used the
ruler from the harmonica templates to do the folded card,
Martha Stewart border snowflake punch, sissix
snowflake and nestabilities for the circles.
You could also turn the card around and create
a stepper card

I love this Milton stamp, it is so cute.

Musical Xmas Card

I have made this card to show that you can use the new book template from
Little Claire on Xmas cards as well as Wedding, christening, sympathy,
new baby etc. I have also again used the large dies from Go Kreate

Snowman peeloff

This card has been cut with the new large Go Kreate die and the layers cut with
nestabilities. I have coloured parts of the snowman with promarkers and then
used glamour dust on hat and scarf.

Xmas baubles

This is another peel off card I have made. I have used Crafts Too dotty embossing
folder on the background. I used inkabilities on black card then placed the peel offs
onto the card then glittered them with glamour dust. Finished the baubles off
with little bows.

Poinsettia trio

I was asked to make cards with these peel offs, one sheet of green and one sheet
of red. I peeled them off the backing and stuck them on to acetate, then cut round
them. I used a kaleidoscope template to make the card and edged with glitter
line peel offs.

Sister's birthday card

Hi everyone, been a bit busy, have been getting a new kitchen so haven't been
able to spend time on blog. This card I made for my sister's birthday. I used the very
large dies from Go Kreate to cut the ovals. I printed the image from Joanna Sheene's Pamela
West cd rom, scanned the image and made a background paper.

Lazy Days

I made this stepper card from Little Claire's stamps set. Have used the scallop and plain round
die cuts from Little Claire. As usual I have decoupaged the images. I think it makes the
card a little bit more interesting.
