trying out some embossing folders

I have no idea when these were purchased....but I don't think I have used them....ever...oh dear how bad am I....

a couple of very simple cards using the folders...some ribbon and gems and a Sue Wilson sentiment die....some more stash used at last....
Thanks for popping by my blog today and I hope your having a good one.

Sundays cards.....still being good!

I have been having some fun making backgrounds with pixie powders and having watched Julia Watts and Francoise Read on Hochanda thought these stamps would go well on them....

the stamp is a woodware one ...bought before my no buy September...which is still going well...and to be honest I have so much stuff I have bought and not used yet that this really is good for me!...I keep telling myself!

playing with Chloe stamps

I just fell in love when I saw Chloe demonstrating these stamps on Hochanda...bought in August so before my no spend september....

sadly the sparkle doesn't show up on the photo ...I used the WOW sparkle embossing powders....then added more glitter using cosmic shimmer glitterbitz....the bow has been stamped twice and decoupaged up....
thanks for popping by today...day 4 of my no buying ...although how long it will last now that Zoe has sent me the stamping up catalogue is any ones guess....how much will power does a girl have!

Christmas card club challenge 18...christmas foliage / trees...

this week Zoe wanted to see foliage and trees....

trees...yes...foliage...holly...evergreen...yes  so I think this fits the bill....
the die is tattered lace ...Symphony christmas stag....the poinsettia is also a tattered lace die...and the frame essential square holly trimmed to make a rectangle....lots of glitter and nuvo drops for the berries.....the sentiment is Marianne designs...one of my favorites.
If you would like to see the cards made by the rest of the girls their links are on my side bar.....do go and see their wonderful creations
Thanks for popping by my blog....

using stash.....

I am going to have a whole month where I try to make cards only from existing stash.....lets see how I do!

My aim is not to buy anything at all from now till the end of september and force myself to use some of my stuff....
this is made using the tattered lace Peony Pavilion collection ...I do like to make a few pretty cards for my stash and I have to say this collection fits the bill...
Thanks for popping by today and if you have left a comment many thanks ...it gives me a chance to return the visit....hope you have a happy day crafting xxx
