New Exclusive Crafty Sentiments Designs Paper Pack

We have some exciting news our lovely vintage digital papers are now available in 160gsm printed pack perfect for Christmas and more.

Now I went a little vintage mad with this card, there is lots of technique been used and I have been practicing  using distress markers and I am loving them. 

I have done a shaker like card, I have used our new fence die and fancy border die. did some distressing.

I also found this bottle of fluffy stuff that I bought some years ago and use it to add a snow effect to the tree and fence and also add ultra fine glitter as well ...I created a shaker top card and add German glitter as the snow.

I have also used acetate and emboss it with a cuttle bug embossing folder before cutting it with a spellbinder die, I also add my favourite pearl Flourish with a bling
