Merry Christmas!

Some of my Christmas cards this year- using the merry christmas stamp from the Easy Events SU stamp set.
I stamped the image using black stazon ink (so the lines wouldn't smudge), coloured in the leaves and popped pearls onto the mistletoe berries.
I used some Crochet Trim (lace-like ribbon), border punched card stock and for one of them used Dazzling Details (silver glitter glue) around the edge for extra detail.

A Trio of Christmas Cards

I made these 3 Christmas cards after a friend had seen a version of the middle 'christmas tree' card (that I'd  made at a recent craft evening) and asked for 3 for his family!




I set to the task using the same format -Island Indigo cardstock  run through woodgrain embossing folder with a whisper white two tags die cut and voila- played around until I came up with 2 more card toppers:












I used the flocked window sheet from the Candlelight Christmas Speciality Designer Series Paper on this tag, and then the merry christmas sentiment and motif from the Easy Events stamp set.



These Bauble stamps came from Tags til Christmas and Delightful Decorations stamp sets.

As you can see the mini tag punch came in handy too, as well as the 'merry' sentiment from the tiny tags stamp set.


I hope you like these too!

Baby bib cards

I churned these two cuties out today! I was experimenting with stamping onto fabric a while back and found this waxy cotton that took the ink without it bleeding too much. I used black staz-on ink with the "for baby' stamp from the 'East Events' stamp set and lightly coloured them in with markers. I then whizzed some felt pieces through my Big Shot machine and stitched them back together again. I attached the bibs to the cardstock with sticky strip and a glue dot to hold the bow in place.

A matching Pair

Here's a couple of In Colour cards- 

Lucky Limeade

Calypso Coral

Wisteria Wonder

Island Indigo

Pool Party

The techniques speak for themselves really-dotty embossing; punches-scallop edge punch, square scallop punch and five petal flower punch and the triple treat stamp pinned to card with tiny  silver brads :)

happy birthday (chocolate) cupcake

Happy Birthday card using stamp from Easy Events. I embossed the cake in gold and coloured it in with inks and blender pen.  I chose to mount the motif on Mocha morning specialty dsp paper to compliment the brown (chocolate) on the cupcake! It took me a while to decide- but I think it works ok?
