Merry Belated Christmas to every body!

Sorry this post is a bit to late to wish you all a Merry Christmas, but we are still in the season of Joy and Happiness so I can still wish you all the best with your families and dear friends all over the world!!

I am still having a fantastic Christmas! We stopped over at my son's Huntly and his wonderful little family for our Christmas meal! Wow what a meal! The food was amazing!  We took breaks in between the different courses and an excuse for another glass of wine! For afters there was lovely board games and what fun we had!

We left them about midday and gone to a small town called Crieff in Perthshire, Scotland. We are staying here for a few days.  I decorated the motorhome a Scandinavia theme Red and White, and we love it! it is so festive! The fragrant candles that are burning give off this lovely Christmas aromas. I just love Christmas time!!!

SOMETHING NEW

We have another Technique Challenge once a month and is ending on the 14 January

The theme for that challenge is 

Easel Card

Well everybody here is my take on this weeks Challenge:

I used a white base card stock for the card

I layered it with mint green card to bring the lovely green out of my DP papers

I used a 2 lovely stamps from SweetStamps.com's 

I used Versamark to stamp the images and used 

a Pink Embossing powder to match my DP papers

I cut my Lady out and stuck her to the small Oval I cut out from the DP papers

I used a Grand Decorative Ovals die to cut around my Oval Stamped Images

I colored her in with a Promarker in "Satin"

After I layered the DP papers onto Pink card and rapped a satin Pink ribbon in the middle

of the backing layer I glued it to my base card and glued my main images to that

I used the same Marianne Design Corner die as for the corners and and 

cut 2 corners in the mint green but just used a part of the die

to bring a bit of the Green onto the Pink Silk ribbon

I added 2 Green Pearls

These lovely Marianne Design Corner Dies is so 

delicate and cut to perfection

I used Pink card to cut 4 corners and added it to my corners

I made a Pink Angel and two different Pearl and Silver Beads Pins

I love making decorative pins with beads and charms.

I added it to the lovely bouquet of roses I made
Finally added the Rose Bouquet to my Card

Well here is my take on it:

used the negative to create a frame
and used a double layer of foam pads

After I coloured my image in I cut it out with
Spellbinder Grand Decorative Ovals 1

She is called Mistletoe

I used Promarkers to colour her in:
Berry Red, Vanilla, Blush, Ivory, Baby Pink,
Leaf green, March Hare and Tan

This is such a lovely lazer die from Hobbycuts
I took the parcel and glued mirror card and plain red
card to it to give the illusion of a 3D gift box

die heart from Hobbycutz

**All of these techniques and more can be found on the TUTORIALS page of our website** 

Well here is my take on it!

I had a great time creating this easel card.  I just love Pink and Blue and some white!

I used textured white card for my main card, made my folds to create the base for my Easel Card.

After I completed my main image I layered it on Pink and Blue cards stock and then again on another white card.

I added it to the flap of my Easel Card

I just love these stamps! I created a Scene with the

Sweet Ginger Bread House and the Ginger Bread Boy and Girl Duo

I stamped them with memento ink and coloured it in with my 

Copics and Promarkers

Copics: 

B21, B23, B24, R81, R83 & R85

Promarkers:

March Hare & Tand

I used Blending Chalks to create the clouds

and around my picture to give it depth

As you can see in the picture bellow that the Ginger Bread Boy and Girl are freestanding,crating a 3D image. I made them each a extra bit to stand freely.

I added Blue and Pink string bows

to my Boy and Girl

They were part of my stopper for my top of my Easel Card.

This lovely sentiment is part of the Ginger Bread House Stamp Due

I used a Spellbinders plain circle and scalloped circle

I used Distressed Ink Spun Sugar around the edges of my sentiment 

I made these flowers

I layered every thing to mimic the top of my Easel Card 

I really enjoyed this project.

Simple Christmas

We have another Technique Challenge once a month and is ending on the 14 December. 

The theme for that challenge is 

Micro Beads

Well everybody here is my take on the Borders Challenge:

I made a 6 X 6 card

I love this color choice this time of the year!!

My main card is from a 300 grams red card stock from my stash

I stamped this lovely Poinsettia Corner stamp

4 times to form this lovely frame

I used Promarkers to color it in

Red Berry, Lipstick Red &

Pear Green 

I added Liquid Pearls in the center of my flowers

On the big Poinsettia in the corner I painted with 

a thin paintbrush over the leaves with H2o 

I used a Craft Blade to cut these delicate flowers just on the outside 

of the square out because I still wanted the center to remain for a base

for my main image

I used a lovely Marianne Design

and cut the frame out of the Green

Layered it all up

Added 4 Red Pearls to the corners

I die cut this love Poinsettia out of Parchment

Took a ball tool and gone around the edges and the center of each leave

I took H2o to get a bit of a glitter effect on the leaves and

then used a small brush to paint the leaves with 3D paint Stamp Paint

This is a new product from SweetStamps.com

Amazing stuff!

I used 3 sizes of plain circle Spellbinder dies and cut 1 in Green and 1 in Red and 1 in White

I added green String Beads in the center 

Then layered it on the Green, Red and White Circle

I let the leaves that I cut out with the Craft Blade lay over the White Circle
