Christmas baubles again

This time I used flitter glue and royal peacock guilding flakes onto black card.  I stamped the sentiments around the edge and made a little rectangle for me to mount a personal sentiment.  I drew the wiggly line with a fine gold pen.

The next question is will I sell all my Christmas cards this weekend or will I have enough left for my personal use or will I be making like mad!!!!  Time will tell.  xx

Christmas Baubles

I am back to this Indigoblu stamp - I do think its lovely.

This time I embossed with clear powder and brayered over the top with Denim blue adirondak.  for some reason it came out looking more like stonewash - unless I had the lids mixed up. LOL

I added a few random sentiments - again Indigoblu, some gems, a tag for me to add a personalised sentiment onto, then mounted onto navy card and then white some blue candy in the corners.

Christmas cottage

 I have three posts today as I have been doing a few last cards ready for this weekend's fair in Blackpool.  I will be there all weekend and as I haven't got an i-pad :(  .......I won't be able to do any blogging whilst there

I would schedule them but then I don't know how to share with my friends on Face book other than by pressing the share button after I have posted.

This is a simple little card - I have made several with different background papers but apart from that they are the same.
A Beautiful stamp from stampendous - shame I haven't got this but I borrowed it from a craft friend.  (we do like to share stuff as crafters don't we)

Its a bit hard to see in the pick but I added a hint of blue with a promarker and coloured in the holly.  I used a glue pen and added glitter, mounted onto a bit of red card ( to bring out the berries) and mounted onto some nice paper from a pad of Christmas papers I picked up some where or other.

Forty

THIS VERSE MAY OFFEND IF YOU ARE DEEPLY RELIGIOUS SO PLEASE DON'T READ IT IF YOU ARE

 My husbands nephew and neice (twins) are forty at the beginning of December. 

I hadn't a clue what to make him aren't men so hard to make for?

I saw this verse so I half hitched it - found a picture of him and his mates on FB and included it in the insert.

The front of the card was done in Serif then I distressed the edges with slate adirondak, matted on to black card.  I stamped another piece of card with beer mugs and distressed that too.

Ruby Wedding

I was asked to make a Ruby Wedding card and was given a photo.

I too the photo into serif to get it the right size to fit into a spellbinder oval.

The top and bottom are a from a cheery Lynne die that I have "hooked" around the oval frame.  The heart is made from two bits of scrap from the fancy flourish.

Its all in pearl card again.  I printed a sentiment and cut around it with a circle die and back onto another one to give it a bit of a lift.

Pink Wedding


Another wedding card - another order - its very similar to the one I posted last week but just thought I'd share it with you.  Its all made out of pearl card and silver mirri.

I used my hougie to create the background.  The flowers are made from white pearl paper and embossed in silver with the flower stamp from dimension stamps.  I printed the sentiments onto white pearl card and embossed with silver.  Te box has a strip of ribbon to match the one that goes across the card.

21st Birthday


Yet another commission - hasn't my new grand calibur been busy!!

Had to be pink - oh b...er no pink card. so out came   my splodge away mat and my brayer together with Victorian velvet and made some!
I used the creative expressions folder and embossed the backing card . mounted on gold.  printed the sentiment and embossed in gold.  used some beautiful number stamps that I got at a craft show but I can't remember who makes them it is a foreign name - they make glittery paste and stuff too.

Cut out with labels twenty but the largest label was a bit big so drew round it and  cut out with scissors.

Made  some flowers with Dimension stamps - I have used these a lot again no pink pearly paper so had to colour my own.!! the little leaf in gold is a cheery Lynn die and is helping to cove the line in the embossing folder!!.
