Hi All

Here we go again more Christmas cards. I seam to have got into quite a rhythm with them but I must get back to making some more birthday cards.

I have used my favorite little elf and coloured him with my pro-markers, then I used my x cut nesting dies which I bought while I was on holiday in Cornwall.

I have used the dies again on this card and my little lily of the valley stamp.

see you all soon.

Hi All

I hope you all enjoyed the sunshine today. I spent the afternoon in my Garden room listening to an audio book and watched Hugh cutting the lawn Its nice to enjoy little things that make you happy.

Retirement is good fun to be able to do what you want when you want. Hugh is now on his wind down to early retirement, he is working one week a month and hopes to finish work in December.

Well back to the crafting world and some more Christmas card.

I have fallen in love with this little elf he is so cute. The cards look the same but his clothes are colored differently.

See you soon.

Hi All

Well I have been busy making some Christmas cards as I do not want to leave them all till the last minute. This one is made from a papermainia embossing folder.

I have just embossed some miri card and added a few bits of bling and hey presto you have a quick and easy card. Sorry this picture does not do the card justice and this is why.



We have a surprise a reflection of me in the background, very reflective miri card. 

Now for my next embossed card.

This is the same idea but a different folder I think it belonged to my friend Fi. Nice pretty card  see you all soon.

Hi All

I have been very busy today and only made one card. My Nephew is getting married on Friday. The wedding service will be small, immediate family only, and then everyone will be meeting up at night for the evening reception. I saw a wedding card in one of my local craft shop and I liked it so much I wanted to replicate the layout with a few small changes and this is what I came up with.

Unfortunately the picture does not do the card justice, it is quite a blingey card just my style  as many of my friends will know.

Background - Kanban card 

Label - Cricut Lacy labels

Flowers -Cricut walk in my garden

Marianne swirls

White rectangle Cuttlebug folder

And there you have it a very pretty card and I am so pleased with it.



Hi All

Two post in one week how good is that from me. I made the following card for my Niece.

I just love this technique I learned recently at my craft club . You stamp your image with versamark, then use white embossing power and your heat gun. I then used my distressing inks and finished with a couple of flowers and a happy birthday topper, which I made myself. I bet you are all very envious of my crafting skills.

Hi All

I have made another card this time for my brother-in-law Nev. He is a bit of a gardener and loves to grow veg in his greenhouse so I thought this card would be appropriate.

I used versermark for the stamp,  then black embossing powder I did this twice, cut out the  watering can and butterfly then mounted it on top of the first stamp. I used my promarkers on the flowers and butterfly. I mounted the image on green mirri board and paper.



Hi everyone I hope you are all happy and feeling well on this miserable day. I don't know if you got much sleep last night, it was warn in bed  even with the fan on all night. I did not get a good nights sleep. I made the following card for my sister-in-law who sadly lost her Father recently. I'm not much into sympathy cards so I thought a nice thinking of you card would be much more suitable and here it is.

I was pleased with the outcome and I hope the family like it also.
