Winter Wonderland

Hi Folks
Thought I would pop by today with another of my quick christmas makes.  I am planning on getting some crafty time in tomorrow afternoon after I have done my morning shift at work.  It will be nice to start working on some projects that are not christmas related lol.


I used a stamp set from Bee Crafty for this project.  It is based on a sample card that I saw at a Sincerely Yours craft show that I went to in November.

I used the word Winter from the stamp set to stamp the background using different colours of distress ink.  This was then matted onto some dark blue card.  I stamped the trees and sentiment using distress ink before matting onto the same dark blue card and adding to the background.  A dark blue ribbon bow and dazzler gem finished the card.

Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.

If I don't get a chance before Friday I would like to wish you all a very happy New Year.

Happy Christmas

Hi Folks
Well, Christmas is over for another year.  Hope you all had a good time and Santa was good to you.  I was very spoilt by my family and even got some crafting goodies.  I decided to have a break from blogging in the lead up to Christmas.  I was working up to and including Christmas Day and really did not have time.  Now the main festivities are over I have more time and can now get in the swing of things again.  

Today I thought I would share another of my quick Christmas card makes using a stamp set from the Folk Christmas collection from Docrafts.


I stamped the various images onto white card using some blue memento ink.  I added some strings to the baubles and some doodling around the outside of the card.  This was then mounted onto some dark blue card.  For embellishments I just added some gems.

A really quick card but fun to do.

Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.  I really do appreciate all your lovely comments and your continued support.  I have not had a lot of time for commenting myself just lately but hoping to get around to visiting your lovely blogs in the next couple of days.

Christmas Tags

Hi Folks
Hope you are all well.  Please accept my apologies for my lack of posts and commenting over the past week.  I have been busy getting caught up with housework and christmas preparations.  I have made some of my gifts this year so that has taken up a large portion of my time this week.  Hopefully come the new year I will have more time.

Today I thought I would share with you some of the tags I have made to go on my gifts this year.


I cut the tag out from kraft card using one of my dies.  The tree and bird stamp is a stamp set from Inkylicious.  I added some glitter to the trees and some white ink around the edge of the tag.  Quick and easy and I was able to mass produce these.

Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.  I really do appreciate all your comments and keep your eyes peeled in the New Year for some candy to say thank you.

Sparkle and Shine

Hi Folks
After a busy week I am so glad it is Saturday.  One more shift to do at work tomorrow and then I have a whole week off.  Think I need it as Christmas Day is less than two weeks away lol.

Today I thought I would share another christmas card using a great stamp from Woodware.


Another quick and easy card to do.  I stamped the tree image onto some stamping card and added some little snowflakes from another stamp set I have.  The sentiment came with the tree image and I love it.  I mounted the stamped image onto some gold mirror card and then set about decorating the tree.  I used various embellishments including card candi, dazzlers, gems and pearls.

Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.  I do appreciate all the lovely comments that you leave me.

Merry Tweetmas

Hi Folks
Finally managed to find a few minutes to pop by my blog.  I have the next couple of days off so I am planning on finishing my christmas present shopping and getting it all wrapped.  Will be one item ticked off the list lol.

Today I thought I would share another quick christmas card using a Woodware Stamp.  I thought it was just so cute.


I stamped the image with memento ink and then coloured it in using my promarkers.  The sentiment came with the stamp.  I added some liquid pearls around the image and some doodling around the edge.  Although you can't see it very well I did add some glitter to the red breasts of the robins and some glossy accents to the nose of the reindeer.

Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.  I really do appreciate all the lovely comments that you leave me.

Seasons Greetings

Hi Folks
Well, another week has flown by.  I have this weekend off work so planning on completing some more christmas cards and getting some presents wrapped.  Christmas is only just around the corner.

Today I would like to share another quick and easy christmas card.


I started off by blending a couple of shades of blue distress ink onto a square of white card.  I then stamped the sentiment (which I have had in my stash for months) using distress ink.  The snowflakes are XCut dies cut out of white card.  I did add some sparkle and shine spray to them.  To finish the card I added some sequins. 

A really quick and easy card to do and can be done in various colours.  

Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.  I do appreciate all your lovely comments.
