Daring Cardmakers Challenge Winter Foliage

How are you all getting on with your Christmas makes, is it too early for you to start, or do you like to get organised early?  Over at Daring Cardmakers this week we want to see some "Winter Flowers And Foliage" on your challenge cards, Holly, ivy, cones, winter flowers, berries etc.

Pop over to the Daring Cardmakers blog for more details of the challenge, how to enter and to see the fabulous design team inspiration cards.

Some lovely Sizzix foliage dies and Christmas Penny Black dies were used to create my card.  I went for traditional colours of red, green and white and added some glitter, crystals and a foiled sentiment.

Reviewing The New Papermilldirect Sirio Colour Card

Hello friends, followers and anyone calling by.  I have a couple of special anniversary cards to show you this week and a review of the new papermilldirect Sirio Colour Card which  can be found over on the papermilldirect blog. 

I made two special anniversary cards  with this beautiful quality card and added some hot foiling which worked a treat.  I used the Go Press And Foil machine to add the sentiments and to colour the flower embellishments and numbers.

I used "perla" coloured Sirio card for the front and card blank on the 25th and "perla" with a white linen card blank on the 30th. 

This card is a dream to work with, a great firm weight being 290gsm, it die cuts beautifully and the foiling worked a treat.
