Richards Christmas card

 for this year 

I bought myself some new matting and layering aperture dies from John Next Door which were supposed to fit A6...but sadly my cards must be a bit smaller so a bit of trimming had to be done

the image is Penny Black

Thanks for popping by today I hope you are having a good one.

a Valentine card for my husband

we dont buy presents for each other but we do make each other a card....I knew I would make a crafter out of him eventually.....

penny black stamps on the card and the envelope...the sentiment is a tonic die cut....I had fun getting messy with spritzers and distress inks and splattering aqua tints....
I hope you are having a happy day today.....I am heading off tomorrow for a few days away with friends in Hay-on-Wye...keep your fingers crossed for me dont want any snow!
thanks for popping by my blog today

using old stash.....week 2

I loved this stamp when I first bought it but I wasn't very good at colouring or cutting out  then...but I noticed that penny black brought out a die to match the image and bought it hoping it was the same size....yeeeh it is and so I think I will be using Snowy again ...and again.....

I used a very old Heartfelt creations tree stamp magnificent spruces for the background...a freebie sentiment stamp...I think its crafters companion....coloured with my copics and added cosmic shimmer iced snow....the frame is made using Sue Wilson's pieced squares...
thanks for popping by my blog today.....

still using old crafty stash

I have been looking through my rubber stamps...so neglected over the past few years as I seem to make most of my cards with die cuts...and I found so many I have never even inked up...I am setting myself the target to use each and every one....

so here is snowy family a lovely penny black stamps from....heaven knows I do remember buying it on e bay......I have coloured the image using copics having cut the image out using my scan and cut...........of course there are a few die cuts too...marianne design trees....and the embossing folder is crafters companion embosalissious...snow...cosmic shimmer iced snow...and distress inks....
I hope you are enjoying a day crafting today and thanks for stopping by my blog I would love you to leave a comment if you have the time.....
