Oh Christmas Tree

Hi Folks

Been a very cold and wet day here today.  I was at work this morning and then spent some time in my craft room working on some christmas projects.  Christmas is fast approaching and need to get my skates on to complete my cards on time.

Today I would like to share a christmas card using a Woodware stamp that I bought recently.

I went for a DL size card for this project.  The image of the tree was stamped using black ink.  I then went over the image with my glue pen and added lots of glitter.  The sentiment and little bird stamp came with the tree stamp.  I inked around the edge of the image panel with some black soot distress ink before mounting onto some silver mirror card.

Love the glitter effect as I think it looks like a tree on a cold frosty morning.

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

Personal Impressions Inspiration

Hi Folks

Hope you are all well and managing to stay warm.  The weather has turned very cold the last few days here.  Just want to snuggle up in front of the fire with a hot chocolate lol.

Today I am sharing a project I have done for Personal Impressions.  However, you only get to see a little part of the project here.

Just pop over to the Personal Impressions blog to see the full project together with details of how I made it and the materials used.  Would love for you to leave me a comment there letting me know what you think.

Have to run now as going christmas shopping today.  Wish me luck!!

Bauble and Poinsettia

Hi Folks
Hope you are all well and had a good week.  Looking forward to the weekend as I am not working and we are going to a wedding.  My niece is getting married on Saturday.  So looking forward to celebrating with all the family.  Please accept my apologies as I probably won't get to spend much time on the computer this weekend.

Today I would like to share a quick christmas card that I did using a Woodware stamp called Patch Poinsettia Bauble.

I stamped the image onto some white square card using versamark.  I then embossed the image using some WOW embossing powder called Twinkling Lights.  It is a lovely gold colour with glittery sparkle.  I stamped and embossed the image again to decoupage some of the elements.  I added some metallic thread to the top and a small stamped sentiment.  The panel was then matted onto some gold mirror card.  Some pearls to the centre of a couple of the flowers finished the card.

Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.  Hope you all have a good weekend.

Personal Impressions Inspiration

Hi Folks

Hope you are all well.  Got a day off today so planning on getting some crafty time in.  The weather is a bit cold and grim outside so it is just the day for messing about in my craft room lol.

Today it is my turn to share some inspiration for you over on the Personal Impressions blog.  But you only get a tiny look at my project here.

To see the full project and how I created it just pop over to the Personal Impressions blog.  Would love for you to pop over and leave me a comment there letting me know what you think.

Christmas Is Coming

Hi Folks

Hope you are all well.  It has been a little while since my last blog post but time keeps running away from me.  With working and trying to get organised for christmas I do not have much time for blogging at the moment.  

My card share today features a Woodware stamp that I got from the Sincerely Yours craft show at Newark.  I do love these DL size stampS and this one was just so cute.

I stamped with Memento ink onto some stamping card.  I then coloured the image with a combination of my promarkers and some glitter gel pens that I have.  Some fake snow and glitter was added to the bobbles and fur trim of the hats.  Some distress ink was added around the edge of the panel before matting onto some green glitter card.

Quite a simple card but I like it and can see me producing a few of these.

My apologies if I do not get around to commenting as much as I would like.  Thank you to everyone for your continued support and lovely comments that you leave me.  I really do appreciate it.

Personal Impressions Inspiration

Hi Folks

Hope you are all well.  I had a fabulous weekend away at the Queen Convention.  It was a fun packed weekend with lots of music, dancing and drinking.  A very tiring weekend but so enjoyable.  But it is back to work today.

Today I would like to share an inspiration project that I completed for the Personal Impressions blog.  But you only get to see a little part of the project here.

To see the whole project just pop over to the Personal Impressions blog and you will find full details of what I created and how.  Would be nice if you could leave me a comment over there letting me know what you think.

Bye for now

Man About Town

Hi Folks

Hope things are okay with all of you.  Hubby and I are away this weekend.  We are going with our friends to the annual Queen convention that we attend every year.  This year it is being held in Southport.  A fun packed Friday to Monday listening to Queen music, watching tribute bands and lots of drinking.  Just got to get through three more shifts at work before then.

Today I thought I would share a card I did a little while ago.  It is a male card and I used toppers and papers from the Man About Town CD from Kraftyhands.

I printed the layered topper, sentiment and papers from the CD and decided to make a stepper card.  I cut the stepper card from kraft card.  For embellishments I added a couple of wooden cog flourishes that I embossed with some bronze embossing powder.

Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.  I really appreciate all the support and the comments that you leave me.  I am trying to comment on your gorgeous blogs when I can but time is limited at the moment.  The demands of a full time job lol.
