Another card from last year for you today. I haven't blogged it yet but you might have seen it in Papercrafts Essentials if you read the magazine. The image is a cute Hamish from Sugar Nellie and he has been coloured with Prismacolor pencils then embossed to give that 'just snowing texture' :) I cut the border with a circle template and…

How busy is this card? I think I might have gone a bit mad with this one. I started to add glitter and just kept on going, by the time I had finished I was covered head to toe with the stuff. This is for the Christmas week challenge over at Magnolia Vs Stampavie Challenge blog, which is a lovely sketch. It…
Nice I hope? Last year I made some Christmas stockings for myself and my OH from Christmas-themed fat quarters. I could try and say that they are post-modern ironic but they are, as you can see, full-on Traditional Christmas Chintz with extra sparkly glitz added on for good measure. Well, we wouldn't want Father Christmas to miss them now, would we?
Well, Christmas has truly reached our flat: the decorations are up, the wine is mulled and the mince pies are a baking. But what you have to know is that my boyfriend doesn't drink and he hates mince pies - I've now eaten a packet of mince pies, a carton of cream ('coz you can not have mince pies without cream) and…
The penultimate Christmas card from me this year (I hope) and I thought I would have a go at the challenge Katy has put up on the Craft Stamper Blog, which is to use Glimmer Mist in a project. This follows on from a fab masterclass article in the January edition of the mag. So I used the cellophane (cling film, Saran…
A BasicGrey card today and it has a charm so I shall be entering into this week's BasicGrey Challenge blog, which is all about charms this week. The block colours are BasicGrey papers but the pattern paper is actually from Rusty Pickle and the music is from a mini-carol book a friend gave me one Christmas. We have our Christmas decorations up…
So still going on the Christmas cards. Hope you like today's offering. I love the little 'Joyeux Noel' postage stamps that are actually part of the larger 'Heavenly Peace' stamp and I've cut them out to embellish the card. Finishing it off once again with the cover stamp from January's Craft Stamper magazine and some curled wire.Materials:Stamp - Inkadinkado; Stamp Crafter magazine;…
This week on the Kaboodle Doodle Challenge Blog, the theme is Embossing. It can be any type of embossing that you like. For my card I have used dry embossing with my cuttlebug, glitzed up with some glitter and using the tree from Andrea's Merry and Bright Christmas kit. You can see with the tinsel that we have our Christmas decorations out,…
On the final card countdown, only four more Christmas cards to do (after this one). So a little triple embossing and the great cover stamp from Craft Stamper arrived just in time to finish this card :) Question is: will I finish the last four before we need to send them? Materials: Stamp - Inkadinkado; HOTP; Stamp Crafter Magazine Papers - K&Co;…
YES! I've almost finished ALL of my Christmas cards - wahoo. I just have five more to do. Yesterday was a marathon of cardmaking, which might explain why I've been a little quiet. I made 20 cards, the most I have ever made in one day. It was a complete production line of cutting, inking, stamping, glittering. I worked my way through…
