Christmas card club challenge 22...Anything goes

it was Sylvie's choice this week.......so I have been having fun with Craftwork cards christmas cheer collection

I have used tattered lace pierced circle dies to make the easel card and papers and a topper from the christmas cheer collection...the holly is my favorite tattered lace die coloured with copics and the spruce is a marianne die...LRO438....all have been glossy accented to make the berries shine and the sentiment triple embossed with clear embossing powder to give it that tile look.....
Do please pop round the other girls blogs (there links are on my side bar)and see there wonderful creations....
Thanks for calling in on my blog and I hope you are having a lovely weekend.

october Rudolph day challenge

its time for the october Rudolph day challenge at scrappymo's ...and I have been having a bit of fun making a very glittery card......

I recently watched Sue Wilson doing her demos on the TV and loved a card she made...so here is my version of it using the dies I already have....Heartfelt creations snowflake dies....Sue wilson holly background for the stitched square....Sue wilson Holly branch...cut 10 of them and stuck them to the white card which had already got double sided adhesive sheet adhered to it....trimmed round the edges and then covered in cosmic shimmer iced snow...matted and layered using the Sue Wilson pieced square dies and the sentiment is from Tonic....
Do go over to scrappymos and have a go there are always good prizes to win....

this weeks card for Aunty

well it really feels that autumn is here and yes the heating is on.....we are just back from our trip down south to meet our newest family member Edie Bluebell who weighed in at 5lb 3 oz....and then on to see my dear old uncle Mark who is 95 and still in his own home ....putting me to shame cooking his own meals  bless....
this is  a cheer up for Aunty who was so sparky when we were up there and telling us she is going to live to be 100

I have used the butterfly embossalicious embossing folder and a tattered lace boarder embossing folder...the dies are both Anna Griffin as is the sentiment stamp...a but of distress ink and some soft gold card.....
Hope you are having a lovely day today and enjoying a bit of crafting....thank you for visiting my blog....

Tonic dies......

another of my unused dies hoicked out of a basket!....honestly I have so many I may never need to buy anything again.......not!

I have taken the die out of its packaging so I am afraid I don't know its name but I do know its Tonic Verso...the sentiment is also tonic....my scan and cut came in handy for making the matts and layers and the base card.....I drew round the die..scanned it in and then played!
hope you are having a good weekend and you are doing a bit of crafting to make you happy
thanks for visiting today

old stash....

I am determined to use some of the dies I have bought and never used!

I bought the crafters companion christmas edge'ables when they first came out and forgot all about them ...this one is christmas garden.....with Memory box frostyville boarder at the top and Marianne designs sentiment...a few Nuvo drops and ribbon.
I am away again this week visiting my 95 year old uncle in Bournemouth....from one end of the country to the other!
hope you are enjoying your day and getting a bit of fun crafting

christmas card club challenge 21...sentiment as the focus...

its Carols turn to choose the theme this week......one I have had fun with.....

I have used the Sue Wilson Holly background just simply matted and layered on to lots of glittery layers and a few bits of bling added......then I had another go as I am now making cards two at a time

same format but using a crafters companion sentiment and the Sue Wilson poinsettia set of dies

and tonic Nuvo drops to finish off
