The actual event, as you can see from the card, was back in June; here's the card I made for my husband, using only dies and peel offs!
I thought I'd put my money where my mouth is. I knew that yesterday's card design could be used for a multitude of occasions, so I used the same layout for this Christmas card. What a difference a change of theme and colour scheme makes!
I love using tags on cards; particularly building up layers of interest. The birth of a colleague's baby gave me the ideal opportunity to use this method.
I like this type of card as it can be easily themed to the occasion; if you need more pages, they are easy to add - I only put three in my book.
This card isn't quite finished; it was made using scraps of Christmas papers and card. I haven't decided whether to add some ribbon for hanging it from a tree, or make a stand to display it like a decorative plate. What do you think?
This is a relatively quick card to make and it fits into a 6" x 6" envelope. I must admit that I haven't used my Glitter Girl embossing boards for ages; they seem a little old fashioned. Having said that, some of the images can come in useful and they make some lovely shaped cards if you take the time to cut round the embossed edges neatly - not something that I am particularly good at; these days I tend to use dies.

The matting and layering of the front of this card looks complicated as there is an aperture involved, but with a little careful planning, it's not as hard as it looks. I love the peacock stamp; it is from an A4 stamp set by Chocolate Baroque.
