A Christmas Wish

 

Good evening fellow crafters and followers.  I do so love Thursday's as I know tomorrow is Friday and it's my day off.  I am also getting excited about Saturday because I shall be going to the Hobbycrafts Show at the NEC with my friend Wendy.  Just think a whole girlie day with my chum, having coffee, lunch, coffee some major retail craft therapy and a good old gossip.  A heavenly day.

 

Well my post today is, to be honest nothing special, but I posted it because it is such a quick card to make.  A bit of matting and layering, I stamped the big C from a large stamp from Dimension Stamps.  The 'hristmas' was also from Dimension Stamps.  I finished it off with some card candi. 

 

It was such a quick card to make but quick cards can look effective, even though I say so myself.

Well, I hope you like this.  Thanks stopping by.  Do take care.



Gingerbread Man

 

 

Good evening crafters and followers, hope you are all well today.

Today's post is using an image from an older creative expressions set of stamps.  This gingerbread man is such a cute little chap I couldn't resist using him again this year. I coloured him in with spectrum noirs.  The backing paper was a freebie from a crafting magazine.  In fact this year I have not had to print a Christmas backing out, I just went through all my Christmas crafting magazines and took the papers out of them.  Most of them come from the making cards mag as those papers are always such good quality.  The swirls and snowflake were from Marianne dies and sizzix.

Hope you like it.  Thanks for stopping by and do take care.  See you all soon.



Kanban Christmas Angel

Good evening crafters and followers.  Well it will be christmas cards for me now starting with this little lady.
I started with an 8x8 plain white base card.  I matted some red card and some green tartan backing paper which was printed from Kameo christmas cd rom - some beautiful backing papers on that one.
I then took a precut nestie and stamped some holly for a background, distressed around the edge with tim holtz antique linen.  I then took a smaller precut nestie and stamped my image.  The image is a stamp from Kanban that I purchased last year in a set from QVC I think.  I stamped the image in black versafine and then clear embossed.  I then stamped another and cut the angel out.  I coloured her face and arms with spectrum  noirs, oh and her head wreath.  I then sprayed her with crafters companion silver spray, shaped her and placed her onto the already stamped image.  I used the same holly stamp for the little sprays each side of the sentiment.  The snow flake at the side is a marianne die.
Hope you like this one.  Thank you for stopping by.  Take care.

Family Time

 

 

Hello crafters and followers.  Monday morning has arrived - AGAIN.  Funny how it seems to come around faster than Friday.

My post today is  a SWALK stamp from crafters companion.  This was their winter collection released last year, such a gorgeous collection.  I coloured the image in with whisper pens and stamped it on watercolour card.

The backing paper was from a crafters companion cd rom.  The poinsettias are Marianne dies.

Thank you for stopping by.  Do take care.

With Love

Good evening crafters and followers.  Hope you are all well.
My post tonight is my final DT sample for My Craft Creations - Sketch Challenge.
This is an 8x8 plain white card followed by a piece of plain blue card.  I then embossed a plain sheet of white card using one of crafters new 8x8 embossing folders but before running it through the GC I inked the folder with a Tim Holtz distress ink - squeezed lemonade.  The image is a digi stamp from Joanna Sheens Christmas Daisy and friends, so is you have that CD Rom I am sure you will have realised it is not just for Christmas.  I have coloured her in with spectrum noirs.
The border is spellbinders as is the large Astor flower and leaves.  The sentiment is also a spellbinders and the actual sentiment is a stamp but I cannot remember where that one came The little leaves at the side of the image are Marianne dies as are the tiny corner ones. All finished off with gems.
Hope you like it and do enter challenge it is a super prize and don't forget you have to be in it to win it.  Thanks for stopping by and do take care.

Holiday Joy

Hi crafters and followers.  Hope you are all well tonight.  Phew almost didn't post tonight I have been so busy.  This year I have designed my mom's christmas cards and her nextdoor neighbours in Serif so I have been busy printing out tonight.
Well today's post is another DT sample I made for My Craft Creations - Sketch Challenge.
This one is an 8x8 white base card.  I have matted some green card and then embossed some centura pearl card using the new embossing folders from crafters companion - the 8x8 ones.  They are absolutely gorgeous and I am so hoping that they will bring more of these out.  Such a brilliant size.
The image is another stamp which was a freebie from one of the craft magazines which is a recent one and I have coloured this one in with copics.  The die cut poinsettias are all spellbinders and marianne dies.  The sentiment was also from the same set of freebie stamps and the swirly border is from sizzix.
Hope you like this one.  Thanks for popping by and do take care.

Best Wishes

Good evening crafters and followers.  Hope you are well today.
My post today is the first of my samples designed for My Craft Creations challenge - Sketch.
This one is a 6x6 white base card followed by a sheet of green card.  I then embossed some white centura pearl card using one of the new 6x6 embossing folders from crafters companion - beautiful isn't?  The image is a stamp which came free with one of this months craft magazines but I am sorry I cannot remember which one, but I can tell you there were two lovely stamps.  I have coloured this one in using spectrum noirs and copics, die cut using spellbinders.  The flowers and leaves are all Marianne dies.  The sentiment is a die from Xcut.  All finished off with a couple of card candi and some gems.
Hope you like it and do join the challenge as there is a super prize. Thanks for popping in and do take care.  There will be another sample tomorrow.
