Sheena Douglas stamps.....

oh I just love this set of stamps and die....

stamped onto gesso covered Kraft card...just loving this technique..embossed with one of the texture embossilicious folders...the stamps are from the words of wonder sets by crafters companion...my inspiration for the card came from the samples for the create and craft show....
Hope you are enjoying your crafting.....

Christmas card club challenge 14...Granmargarets choice...christmas trees

well I have started my batch card making for the charity that I support...meet the elderly...its a group of people who invite lonely elderly people out to tea one Sunday a month...my Mum used to love it...not just for the wonderful home made tea but for the opportunity to chat to people her own age with the same kind of generational memories...so now I make them about 50 cards for Christmas to give to their elderly folk...sometimes its the only card they get so a real good cause.....
I thought that  this weeks theme of Christmas trees would be perfect....

so I made the first 4 cards using Craftwork cards Festive chalkboard collection and used inspiration from the design team....

lots and lots of glitter.....
Do have a look at the other girls lovely card...their names are on my side bar....we will be ready for christmas!

Joy

well making this card gave me joy as it turned out better than I planned...

I used the Tattered lace Joy die ....matted and layered onto a mat cut on my scan and cut to give it a bit more rigidity...the poinsettia are tattered lace christmas florals and the image is LOTV...
Its mens semi finals day at Wimbledon today so I will be glued to the sofa.....hope you enjoy your day looks like its going to be full of sunshine.

Heartfelt Creations Fucshia collection

Here is another of my makes with this collection ,thanks to the design team for the inspiration....

I used one of the stamps onto one of the blank card front in the paper pack...coloured it in with promarkers...made up the flowers using the stamps and matching dies...the sentiments are also cut from the paper pack....how brave am I actually cutting into it.....
Are you having fun crafting ?

Its Sunday so its Christmas......

well I managed another Christmas card this week despite it being Wimbledon.....I have to admit I do enjoy watching the tennis although I end up behind the sofa when Andy Murrey is playing......so crafting is taking a back seat and restricted to mornings only.....

I wanted a cold and frosty look so stuck to white and blue.....
the dies are  Spellbinders Decorative curved square,curved squares,Sue Wilson's Ivy...the embossing folder is an embossalicious one...I used stormy sky distress ink and clear embossing powder on the sentiment is an old one....and the poinsettia are printed off from Bebunni Christmas CD and the centres filled with stickles and micro beads
Hope you are enjoying your weekend......

playing with Gesso.....

Its Wimbledon......wheee so I become a couch potato every afternoon and my hubby cooks tea....how many meals can possibly involve sausages and beans!......still I am having fun playing in the mornings once the cores are done.....washing out today its so beautiful.....

I have been playing with my Shenna Douglas stamps...this set is briar rose.....

coloured with distress inks....the background is kraft card painted with gesso....embossed with an embossalicious embossing folder and sanded back......

hope you too are having fun crafting...and keeping cool.....
