Celebrate...

Hi everyone Happy New Year.  I hope that you all enjoyed celebrations with family and friends over Christmas and New Year.

It has been so hot and humid here lately, today being no exception is supposed to be high 30's, however looking outside it appears to be overcast and  it is cool.  I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get some rain, weird weather.

Anyway today I would like to share with you my latest card.

The stamp is from Wild Rose Studio and was such fun to colour up using Copics.  I created a little dimension for the centre of the flowers and the dots on the wrapping paper using Liquid Pearls in Buttercup and White Opal.  I then die cut it using Lawn Fawn small Stitched Rectangles.  The sentiment is die cut from Penny Black - Celebrations.

The lattice die cut, patterned paper and doiley is apart of  an old card embellishment kit from Bizzy Becs .

It is the start of a new challenge over at Bizzy Becs, so pop over an join us.

Thanks for dropping by, have a wonderful day.

Happy crafting

Jingle all the way....

Hi everyone

Well here we are 3 days to go, hope all your Christmas preparations are on track.  

Yesterday my ktichen table and benches looked like a disaster zone, flour everywhere, packets of this and that and dishes piled high.  By the end of the day I have made the fruit mince for my pies, 2 types of fudge for Christmas gifting and homemade pizza for last nights dinner.  Round two starts today, nougat and Christmas Cakes.

Today I would like to share with you my Christmas Cards made for 2016.

These have been on a production line for a while now and am pleased to say they are finished and ready for posting, albeit a little bit late.

I have used the following items which are available via Bizzy Becs Online Store:

Blue Butterfly Digi Stamps - Little Santa Collection - Little Santa With Present

The Following via pre orders

Memory Box Die - Country Landscape

Memory Box Stencil - Tiny Snowflakes

Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads - Weathered Wood & Tumbled Glass

These items are from my own stash:

Tim Holtz  Thinlits - Holiday Words Script

Tombow pens

Stickles - Diamond

Liquitex - Soft Modeling Paste

Aleenes - True Snow

Glossy Accents

The santa was printed out onto watercolour paper, coloured with Tombows and then fussy cut.  The background is also on watercolour paper with soft modelling paste through the stencil and the sky was using a smoosh technique, followed by stickles onto the snowflakes.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.

Until next time, Happy Crafting

Noel .......

Hi everyone, 3 weeks to go ... can you believe it,  this year has flown.

Today I would like to share with you my very first Christmas card for this year.  Yes I am a bit behind but I hope to add this one over the next week or so.

For my card I have used a gorgeous stamp from Darkroom Door - Brushed Christmas Vol 2, it is the largest ornament in the set and I thought it would make a great Christmas Tree, so upside down it went.  Have to say I am very happy with the way it turned out.  

The snowflake embellishment is a die from Memory Box - Shimmering Snowflakes.

Darkroom Door and Memory Box are available as a preorder by Bizzy Becs online store, together with lots of other goodies.  Supersavers on back on until 5th January 2016 and there are some gorgeous things is Bizzy Becs Choice.

Today is also the start of our new Anything Goes Challenge for December, so get crafty and come on over and join us.

Thanks for dropping by, have a wonderful day.
