Trying to share the remaining christmas cards this year before Christmas! I’d been putting off using this stamp because I thought the colouring would be time consuming. I was pleasantly surprised how quick and easy it was – the fussy cutting took longer, wouldn’t you know! hehe! – not really, only where the holly leaves […]
Festival of Trees – pyramid card
Festival of Trees – pyramid card. Talk about a trip down memory lane – the pyramid style card was a swap from lovely Sam, a fellow team mate back in 2009! I’m re-visiting this fun-fold as I thought it would suit the Festival of Trees stamp set. It was also one of the first techniques […]
Christmas Bauble
I’m enjoying using my Blendabilities. I stamped the bauble on Whisper White, did my colouring then fussy cut the bauble and adhered it to a Crumb Cake layer. The rebel in me also glued the Crumb Cake layer at a jaunty angle – great modern twist, don’t you think? Hover over the bottom […]
Bonus video – Gift tags
As promised, here’s the bonus video. I love Stampin’ Up!’s colour co-ordination, everything comes together so quickly and with such pleasing results. There’s such a sense of satisfaction to gift giving when you can add your own personal touch. These labels were quick and easy to make. Enjoy!
Countdown to Christmas #12 – Gift Wrapping
I couldn’t believe it when Stampin’ Up provided gift wrapping in their Autumn/Winter catalogue! Whenever I buy gift wrap, even at christmas time, it is always with a view to being able to use it all year round. My prayers have been answered, upmarket brown paper, double sided, printed on one side and plain on […]
White Christmas anyone?
Tee hee! I have something new on this card – can you spot it? I love that flattened christmas tree which lies on the roof of the car. I stamped the trees in Island Indigo, then stamped a shadow using Soft Sky. With the two way glue pen, I traced the branches randomly and followed […]
Christmas Countdown #11 – Wondrous Wreath
I got my Christmas Countdown weeks a little mixed up thinking this week’s one is week #10 but in fact it’s week #11. So this is the penultimate one in my Countdown to Christmas series. This one is specially for the lovely Val who invested in this set and for some it’s a refresher course […]
Hello Darling and I Love Lace combo
A little break from all things christmas – although it’s barely 3 weeks to the 25th! I made loads of these card fronts as my swaps for our recent regional training in Basingstoke and left the last few lined up neatly whilst the glue dried. I then left for training, forgetting that these were drying, […]
