Christmas card wishes

Hi there!

Wow.

The month has flown past  and we have made it through  another Christmas once again.

I hope you had an amazing time with family and loved ones.

Today I would like to share with you a Christmas card that I made for an arty friend.

I have used Copic markers to colour the stamped image. 

The die cut background has been foiled using my GoPress and foil. Very simple layers but the gold foil really gives this card some sparkle.

Supplies Used:

Stampingbella : Tiny Townie Pamela the Poinsettia

Taylered Expressions: Loop-de-Loo cutting plate.

Thanks for stopping by to have a look at my card. 

Until next time

Christmas Already

Hello Fellow Crafters

Christmas is fast approaching.

A friends daughter wanted me to make her a few cards 

that weren't religious so I thought I'd use 

Tim Holtz little Gems.

Mini Bird Crazy and things

Bird Crazy 

Crazy Dogs

If you don't already have any of these stamps they are worth

 consideration before next Christmas.

Yu can't see it in these photos but some backgrounds have 

snow flakes embossed with Bridal Tinsel. 

 I have also glittered them up in a few places.

My project in January is to find a better way to photograph my cards.

I wish you all a very merry Christmas.

Remembering that "Jesus is the reason for the season".

Blessings to all,

Crafty Hugs,

Carol x

Oh What Fun With Lou

Hi, Louise here with you today to share a jolly little Christmas card with you.

I recently held a class doing interactive cards and the ladies made this card which I designed with the Lawn Fawn "Oh What Fun"  stamp

It's a cute, inexpensive stamp which lend itself well to interactive cards.

I also used the following  supplies fro Bec's Store on my card....
Lawn Fawn Lawn Cuts Stitched Hillside Borders

Memento Ink

Die similar to Slide on Over Lawn Cut

Thanks so much for joining me today :)

Lou

Christmas Peace

Hi everyone it's Meighan here sharing with you a quick fun Christmas card.

I have used an oldie but a goodie image from Penny Black called Holly Jolly.

This sweet little cat has been coloured in with Copics.

Here is my card:

The sentiment has been diecut using one of the dies from the Large Petra Oval Collection.

The Large Petra Oval dies are available in the shop and if you are after this sweet image contact Bec.

Bec is having a sale so please visit if you get a chance.

Have a wonderful day and happy creating!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

I thought maybe it was time to do a Christmas card 

so I thought I'd do a fun one for a change.
The clear stand is covering up the letter "a" in the sentiment
which came from a set of Christmas stamps in a crafter's magazine a few years ago.

Items Used:

I thought I'd make it look a bit like a room with wall paper.

Window is from First Edition Craft Dies - Windows  (There are four windows)

Christmas Tree from Frantic Stamper - Oregon Fir

Clouds are Memory Box - Fluffy Clouds

My favourite Stamps though are the 

Tim Holtz  Stamps - Mini Bird Crazy and Things.

It has everything you could want to 

place these birds in any situation.

They are so versatile and well worth the outlay.

I also used the Tim Holtz Dies - Mini Crazy Birds and Things

Often I manage to get colour in their eyes and the dies can cut out 

fresh ones so they are nice and white.

Great time to buy them with Bizzy Bec having 25% off store wide.

Don't forget to get a card made and added to our challengers.

You never know - you might win!

Keep enjoying your craft.

Crafty Hugs,

Carol

the unfolding

I used the technique "misting with markers"
This was actually a 'tester' which turned out rather nice although
it was not on water colour paper, but have decided I like it as my
design team inspiration hopefully  for you.

Our challenge is on at Bizzy Bec's

I hope this inspires you to join and and have fun

and perhaps be a winner.

Goods used:
Penny Black stamp called 'the unfolding'
