Christmas Projects

Hi, it's Christmas Eve and I thought I would share some of the Christmas items/cards that I have made with you all! Firstly this is a tree decoration using the Bethlehem stamp from Art Impressions, the sentiment is from Justrite stamps.




 I just added glitter to give dimension and a little sparkle and of course could not have made this without the use of my trusted wizard and spellbinder dies.





I just love this Santa stamp from Molly Blooms designs! Her blog is definately worth visiting for inspiration.







Happy Christmas and best wishes for 2011

Christmas cards

Hi everyone

I am still working with the single snowflake, I think I was inspired by the large snowfall we had last week! I decided to add the 'celebrate the season' sentiment to my card from 'Just Rite Stamps'. Overall I am pleased with the finished card.

Christmas Snowflake

What a wonderful Saturday morning, no work and around 6 inches of snow! Snow is so beautiful especially when you don't have to drive in it. Today I made a Christmas card with just a single snowflake. I was hoping to achieve an elegant, but simple looking card.





I made good use of my score pal and wizard dies for this card, the snow flake stamp was from Lavina stamps.

Molly Blooms

Hi everyone
Sorry it's taken a while for me to update my post, I've had a rather hectic week. Anyway last week I went along to the craft show at Doncaster Dome, I had a great day! I was fortunate to meet Clare the designer of the new Molly Blooms stamps. I have to say her work is amazing, Clare was demoing and her card samples were inspiring. I couldn't resist buying some of her gorgeous stamps.
The card I have made today is stamped using two of Clare's stamps, Santa and the Christmas tree. I have also used the snow flakes stamps from Lavina stamps. I stamped the Christmas tree in brown memento and coloured with prisma pencils. Snowflakes were stamped in versamark and heat embossed using holographic embossing powder. The background was completed using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in chipped sapphire. Santa was stamped in black memento and coloured using a combination of prisma pencils and copics. To complete I added some glossy accents and glitter! Two of my favourite items.

Quick Christmas Card

Hi Everyone
My sister in law is flying off to New Zealand this weekend and will be staying there for Christmas. I decided to make a small Christmas card for her so that she can take it with her. I also needed to make a quick  card as I am currently working on a mini scrap book for her Christmas present, which needs to be finished for Saturday.

I used the Christmas tree from Clarity stamps which I stamped in adirondack cranberry ink and then clear embossed. I also used the snowflake stamp from Lavina stamps and heat embossed in holographic embossing powder.

Unfortunately the photos are not great due to the light, sorry!

Glittered Geisha

Hi Everyone, I did say that I had been working on a glittery project to share with you, well here are the two cards that I have made using the geisha stamp from creative expressions.
















I stamped the images on to acetate using black stazon. Once dry (best left overnight) I used different shades of pee wee glitter. I also used the blossom stamp from clarity stamps again this was stamped using black stazon. Distress ink (weathered wood) was used to create the sky background and the blossom was coloured using gel pens and a little glitter. I have to say that I was pleased with both cards, however the tunnel card photo doesn't do the card credit. I think the reflection of the acetate with the camera didn't help.
