Card Creations Plus Four Day Deal on Create & Craft - Part 1


A brand new Four Day Deal has started today on Create & Craft and this week it's a gorgeous Christmas CD rom from Card Creations Plus 'Dennis Lewan's Gift of Christmas'.  I've been part of the Design Team creating samples for the shows and I'll be sharing my cards over the next few days.

The CD contains an amazing range of artwork - lots of different Christmas and winter scenes which are all beautifully detailed and really gorgeous images.  There are toppers in different shapes, backing papers, bookmarks, stationery, envelopes, inserts and lots, lots more.  There's also a great 'snowflake spray' feature which can be used on the images as well as on plain backgrounds and acetate - more about that later in the week!

My first card (above) uses one of the round toppers, the background paper and also one of the circular, glittery peel offs which are featured on the show.  The silver border is part of the peel off and it's perfect for anyone who likes glitter but not the mess you get with loose glitter!


Next a sepia card.  You can alter the colour of the images with a sliding scale bringing the colour down to sepia tones which I think looks really effective.  This card also uses some of the backing paper and I've finished it with a chain link peel off and a Craftwork Cards sentiment.


Next, a design using the star shaped ornament toppers which fit perfectly in to the star peel offs which are party of the show.  The background on this card is from the CD too and I've finished it with some silver Card Candi.


Finally, a card made from one of the book mark sheets.  I trimmed off the bottom part of the bookmark and then used this to make a four panel card.  The picture continues across the four panels and two of them have text of them too.  Just a different way to use the bookmark panels.

I'll be back tomorrow with another selection of cards.

I'd like to enter my cards in the following challenges:

The Paper Shelter - 'glitz and glimmer' (first and third cards)
Christmas Card Challenges - 'use something new'
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge - 'favourite colour' (navy blue)
Card Crafter's Circle - 'shaped card' (first and fourth cards)
