Australian Christmas brooch cards with Sarah

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here today with some of the new Australian themed Christmas designs from Memory Maze lasercuts.

For these new designs, please check out the Memory Maze website here. Let's take a look at the other designs created using these wooden veneer pieces.

These cards are easy to put together. Simply adhere a brooch pin to the back of the wood piece. You want to ensure this is totally dry before attempting to pin this to the card.

Position the piece on your card front and pierce two small holes in the card to pass the brooch pin through. Position and stamp your sentiment - I like to use my MISTI (check this out on you tube if you havent seen them!) to ensure accurate stamping every time. Then pin the dried piece to your card and you're done! Let's take a closer look at the other two designs. The crocodile card is on a Kraft background.

For these cards I have used stamps from my stash, however Memory Maze also have a vast range of rubber stamps that are also available. Take a look back through my previous blog posts for some examples of these. They can be found online here.

Merry Christmas....card making in a breeze

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here today to show you just some of the Memory Maze sentiments that are perfect for your cards.

Alot of stores are now getting in their Christmas stock and are starting to think about the upcoming release of Christmas collections. The card pictured above was a recent project I made for the Scrapping Fun Kits design team's August kit, using a chipboard sentiment from Memory Maze. What I loved most about this is that the chipboard already comes coloured! Simple and easy!

The chipboard 'Merry Christmas' pictured here comes in either the red or green card and is ready to go for the mountain of Christmas cards you need to make! Alternatively, Memory Maze also has a huge variety of plain chipboard sentiments that you can colour, ink, paint or leave neutral also. Here are just a few styles;

Did you know that Memory Maze also have sentiment sets and mini words available. These make card making a breeze. Here is a few of them, but please be sure to check out the website by clicking here to check the range out.

A Merry Christmas to you all

  Good morning everyone.  Well the countdown is on to Christmas.  The children are getting excited, The tree is up and we a re in the process of making cards for all their school friends.  Today I am sharing two cards that I created using the totally awesome Memory Maze Chipboard.

................

I had lots of fun playing with these designs.  

Silent Night

This first card is super easy to do.  I painted all the designs in black distress paint and let dry.

 

While it was drying I created my background by using three colours of distress ink and blended them in to give me my background of a sunset.

  For the big star I covered it with distress glitter.  I love this glitter, such a vintage feel to it.,  once ever thing was dry I glued them all down.  To make the frame stand out I covered it in a thin layer of glossy accents.

...............

Let t snow :-)

I can not take credit for the design of this stunning card.  It has been totally inspired by the one and only Tim Holtz.  I have changed the stamping to Chipboard and love the overall effect.

For this card I broke down one of the snowflake boarders into individual snowflakes,  painted them with distress paint and then added a think coat of distress glitter to make it look like snow.  I added a pearl into each of them.

I am a layer girl and I love all the different layers on this,  hard to believe there is 11 layers to get this effect.  But well worth it and the snow flakes make this card.

Well that's all from me for now.  I hope you all have a very happy and Merry Christmas.  Spend time with your family and enjoy.  Merry Christmas.  Fro all of us here in New Zealand :-)  xox Donna
