A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Celebrations

For the Stencil Fun challenge "Christmas" and the Inkspirational challenge "Celebrate", I have this card:

I did the background with red and green acrylic paints and a poinsettia stencil on a gelli plate.  Trimmed it and topped it with the Merry Christmas sentiment frame die cut and bordered it with dark red cs.

My Time to Craft wants to see December or January holidays.  I have a Hanukkah card:

I sprinkled blue Brushos on mixed media cs, spritzed with water and let it run to make a free-form background. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, then trimmed the panel, popped it up on fun foam, and added the silver die cut Star of David.

LOVE to have you SHARE our BADGE

I hope you all had a good holiday, whatever one you celebrate!

    Two very pretty cards Susan, and the gelli plate piece in red and green is beautiful, and finished with the die cut on the edge/border style sentiment which suits it perfectly, and the blue background with the silver Star of David and sentiment is a wonderful colour combination and looks really elelgant too. x

    Both cards are spectacular! The Hanukkah one for MTTC is artsy yet elegant with the metallic shine! Thanks for supporting MTTC (and also MTTCC)! Happy 2024!!! --Becca
