Joy to the World

Hello

Somehow the end of the year has crept up on me. Just in time I managed to get all of my Christmas cards made AND sent.

I finished off with some snow globe cards using an Apple Blossom die set and stamps from Card-io and various magazines.

I'm looking forward to using the Card-io stamps for some spring birthday cards, so watch this space.

One last festive card using Sizzix dies.

I wish you all happy holidays and best wishes for the year ahead xxx

Cut out to be friends

Hello

Hope you are keeping well. The days are getting a little brighter and it won't be long before we change the clocks in the UK for summer time.

Today I'm sharing a bright and cheery card made for a special crafty friend to celebrate an extra special birthday.

I've stamped and cut out the images, colouring them with my new creamy smooth Blackwing pencils, before sticking them onto an acetate circle for support. This close up shows the sparkle better.

I've used the stamps from Creative Stamping issue 91. Perfect for all my crafty friends.

I think this is another set I shall be dipping into again.

Thank you for taking the time to look. Have a great day xx

Cheers

Hello
I'm still sticking to my resolve to use all the bits and pieces I have hoarded over the years or clear them out. Next up something for the beer lovers.

I had lovely inky fun with this and it's renewed my love of Distress Oxide inks. Might need to get a few more colours or the reinkers...as a little reward for clearing out old craft stash of course!

Materials used:

Apple Blossom embossing folder: beer words

Apple Blossom die set: beer bottle and glass

Distress Oxide ink
