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".

Pink Snowy Village and Starry Song

Every year the Jingle Belles challenge hosts "Pink Christmas" and they donate $2 to breast cancer research for every card linked up.  Here's my pink Christmas card:


I went through my unused background pieces and found three different pink pieces (one sponged, one sprayed, and one stencilled).  I die cut a house and a couple of snowflakes out of each, and then the sentiment out of two of them.  I used a narrow embossing folder of snowflakes on my focal panel and then glued all my die cuts on to it.  I added it to the card base with some thin dimensional tape.

For a second card today, I used lines from a song to make a card for Sweet Stampin' "Inspired by a Book, Song, or Film".  It's also for the Word Power challenge where the sentiment is the focus of the card.

I have some really old red laser-cut star paper that I haven't used for many years and thought it could go with the words from a Christmas carol.  I layered a piece of it over gold glitter cs and put them on a white cardbase. Then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in gold on white cs, and die cut it with a fancy label die.
