Well Christmas is well underway in our house.  The shopping centre I work at has just switched on the Christmas lights and opened the Grotto so i guess we're officially on countdown.

To help with the Christmas cards I've made this nice and simple one as inspiration.

I used kraft card and stamped some trees and embossed with gold glitter embossing powder.  I coloured the image (found here) with promarkers and fussy cut her out, before stamping and embossing the sentiment.  Its mounted on a piece of scrap white card which I use double sided sticky tape and glitter to match the edges to the embossing

There are loads more gorgeous images here on etsy - or enter our competitions on the blog or Facebook for a chance to win some.

Freebie!!

Hi everyone

Only yesterday I announced on the blog hop that there was a freebie coming... and here it is!

If you want to join the blog hop, click here to leave me a comment.

Here is my card using this little cutie

I have never used yellow and grey before, but fell in love with these pink petticoat papers.

She's been brought to life with promarkers and cosmic shimmer glitter glue.  I die cut a doily (first cut around balloon so it could go over the die) then backed her with grey card.  The happy birthday sentiment is a Simon says stamp, stamp.

If you want to get hold of our freebie you'll find it here

Please check out Facebook for more competitions and inspiration from fellow Dressy girls.  The DT have made some amazing cards, so please pop in on our blog to see the up coming designs!
