Christmas Wishes

This is my last post for a while as the festive season gets closer and closer, and still got lots to do so........

To all friends and followers wishing you a lovely Christmas with your families and all the happiness and health in the world for 2010.


See you in the New Year.........

Anniversary

It's our wedding anniversary a few days after Christmas so while I was still in the mood I made this card for hubby. I used some beautiful 12 x 12 papers I had cut them to size [sacrilege I know but needs must]. I then used a couple of Penny Black stamps left them without adding colour, nestibilities and added ribbon and black pearls at each corner.



Here is the Christmas card I made for him too. Similar to the other ones but I was running out of ideas by the time I made it. I did add his initial in pearls and finished using glamour dust.

Noel II

I finally finished all my Christmas cards and got them all away in the post. Here are some of the last ones I made. Once again I used my NOEL Rubber Tapestry stamps and various background papers and my Cuttlebug embossing folder. Added glamour dust, ribbons and mirror card.





Hope you like them any comments welcome.

Festive Willow

Some more Christmas cards must be getting fed-up seeing them. I know I will be glad when I finally get them all finished. I have still so much to do, decorate the living room, get the tree up, wrap up presents, the list is endless. I am supposed to be resting but am exhausted sitting making cards until all hours. Oh well, wouldn't do it if I didn't love it.

This first one is using my Rubber Tapestry stamps again and adding some small pearls and glamour dust.

The second one is again using the Rubber Tapestry stamps, and adding background papers, mirror card and a small bow.


Finally this one is special won't say for who at the moment in case they see my blog. I mounted various papers and mirror card and then added my new Whiff of Joy stamps Willow and sentiment, used my new Promarker pens for the first time which was hard to get used too. I then cut her out and mounted her onto the card, added bows and flowers to finish it off. Here's hoping they will like it.

Haste ye back and please leave a comment, love to read your thoughts .........

Noel

My new stamps from Rubber Stamp Tapestry arrived on Saturday so have been having a play with them. I did quite a few cards but am only showing a couple so you get the idea of what I created with them. The first I stamped then mounted onto Nestabilities and then onto Christmas background papers. I added ribbon and some pearls and lastly glamour dust.


The second card I used the Noel set to enhance one of my Cuttlebug embossing folders, then used the corner snowflake from Martha Stewart to cut out the corners. I mounted onto another cuttlebug embossed background with I think makes the image 'pop' and finally my favourite - glamour dust.

Haste ye back...........

Mixture

Haven't been keeping so well since yesterday got real scare and had to call doctor so am on strict instructions to rest and take things easy.
Here are some of the cards that I made on Tuesday before I took unwell. As I have still so many to make I utilised some toppers I had left over from last year and added some bits and bobs and used my Cuttlebug. I hope you like them.

La Blanche III

Another two cards I made in a similar way to the one that I entered into the competition in the post below.

The first one I used StazOn black ink on my new reindeer La Blanche stamp. Then added some glamour dust mounted onto a background made with my Cuttlebug embossing folder. Finished off with gold ribbon and charm and a couple of sentiments in gold and red to add a touch of colour.


This one I used three La Blanche bauble stamps, hand drew the ribbon and used the antler stamp side on to hang the baubles from. Coloured the edging with gold ink, added a sparkle background, some red pearls. gold ribbon and a small flower again edged in gold. Finished off with another sentiment.


Haste ye back..........

Challenge 39 Christmas

It has been ages since I did a challenge and as I am already making Christmas cards I thought I would enter this one on Creative Card Crew website. I stamped my card with another of my new stamps the antlers come separate so you can use them for other things [very clever]. Using my heat gun I melted the gold embossing powder, and mounted on to gold mirror card. Cut some gold ribbon in half and added a christmas bell charm and sentiment.
