lots of fussy cutting of bows and holly and little tiny tiny children ....

Flying Bye.....

 this is a really great set of Spellbinders dies...

I have had fun with a cloud stencil in the background as well as die cuts....

Thanks for popping by today

its a Mini Celebration

 I bought this set of Sue Wilson stamps and dies so that I could make some cards for both male and female car lovers....and a bit of nostalgia for my first Red Mini

the embossing folder is a really old one but I thought it looked a bit like tyre tread...

thanks for popping by today.

with Love...

 playing with some old Tim Holtz dies 

and some Stamping up stamps embossing folder and an LOTV sentiment

well at last summer has arrived and my vest is off.....hope we get to enjoy it for a while now

some old dies....

 I was doing a bit of sorting as you do when you loose something and come across stuff you had forgotten well here we are Susan<s garden dies by Spellbinders....

made with Susan's poinsettia die...Holly and branch dies...I have attached coloured foam balls to the branch to make the berries and Nuvo drops for the centre of the poinsettia...all the die cuts are coloured with copic's....the background is Spellbinders Scenic Poinsettia 3D embossing folder...the sentiment is a Sue Wilson die.

Thanks for popping by today 

playing with embossing folders

 I do love a bit of embossing

this is Spellbinders 3D Floral Archway with some silver gilding wax and a we bit of white sponged into the flower centres ..oh did I enjoy making this...

thanks for popping by today...I am just starting to watch the tennis at Queens so not a lot of crafting will be getting done in the afternoons....

week 27...We Three Kings

 every year I keep a few of the Christmas cards I receive to do a bit of recycling...

I mounted it on some die cut gold mirri...using the spellbinders vintage square set added a sentiment with embossing powder and a star and some gems to add a bit of dimension.

Thanks for popping by today.
