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".

Reindeer and Rabbit

Christmas Kickstart wants a reindeer, Christmas Cards All Year Round wants something that starts with R or S, and the Penny Black Saturday Challenge wants us to use a Penny Black die.

A very CAS card - a kraft card base, die cut reindeer (cut twice - once out of white shimmer cs and once out of scrap, glued together for more dimension), die cut sentiment out of white shimmer cs, and die cut tiny bits of greenery out of green shimmer cs to make a wreath around his neck, with tiny red gemstones for berries. I also used a red gemstone for the dot over the "i" in the sentiment as I lost the little die cut dot.

Inkspirational wants "furry friends" and Sweet Stampin' wants a CAS card.

I used one of the adorable Anita Jeram images.  Simply stamped and watercoloured, trimmed with a lacy scallop rectangle die.  I mounted it on a green card base that perfectly matches one of the presents in the image and lets the green show through the lacy scallops.
