A Few More Cards Using DoCrafts Forever Friends Jelly Brads

I was determined to use all the brads in pack …. and in all I have managed to make ten cards with them. Following on from yesterday these are the final few.

I loved the Christmas puddings so much I kept the cards very, very simple and just mat and layered them on a deep red and gold (which doesn’t show up very well in the picture). This card measures 3 3/4 ins square. This is the sort of card I would buy!

I used the two Christmas trees together, using a Nestabilities scalloped square die as the base. This card measures 4 3/4 ins square.

This left me with two stars, two stockings and two snowflakes, which I have used altogether in a very different sort of card for me, measuring 5ins square.

One pack of lovely brads done and dusted!

DoCrafts Forever Friends Cosy Christmas Jelly Brads

Aghhhh, why do crafty companies do this to me ….. how could I resist  these Forever Friends jelly brads?  Just look at the gingerbread boy and girl, they are NOT going on a card ….. they are for me"! The brads cost £3.99 for 17 brads, which is about 17p each, but I reckon I will get at least 8 cards from the pack.

I’ve used this picture frame, (50p from a car boot sale) that has stood empty on my nik nak shelves for months …… just waiting …. waiting for my little gingerbread people!

Now for the cards…….

I’ve kept the design pretty simple, using a Nestabilities scalloped square die as the base which I’ve stuck down on foam pads for bit of extra dimension.

And then I’ve gone berserk with the flat backed gems!

Very cute!

A Bunch of Flowers Card

I had these paper flowers from the Hobby Crafts Show at the NEC in November and have never used them, the same goes for the Craftwork cards sentiment circle die cut!  What am I like?

But today they all came together for this card.

I have used various iridescent coloured brads for the flower middles and the leaves are made using a punch I found in a small craft shop in Chester market recently.
