Hang up your stockings


I had fun making this card!!!! lovely and messy....

The background was stamped with versamark and then clear embossing powder and heated (then for the fun bit) Twinkling H2O's and just colour wash with loads of water a big paintbrush and blend - Voila a background. Stamp and cut out the Jane Gill Woodware stockings on bazil and mount. I love this card!!!

Soreeeeee

I have been busy making Christmas cards shock horror!!!!! I had two cards to make as well this week a birthday and a new home guess which one is which..........

Francoise Read Woodware stamp set on a selection of pink paper highlighted with stardust pens, a peel off from the sun with punched circles and peel off letters.


A nice stamp for a man card you can do so much with.(Personal Impressions) Shirt stamped on pink paper then again just for the tie coloured stripes in black jelly glaze pen and stuck on top with silicone glue. Matted and layered to black and silver mirri card and a few peel offs.

Grand Prix Champion!!

Anuver challenge....
Can I have a card with a racing car on it! Oh no I thought! Oh well here we go again, what can I come with this time. I found an image on the computer and enlarged it then cut the paper shapes out to make my puzzle. Then just assembled it glued it in place and added a winning flag and a peel off.

Long overdue post!

Don't know where the time has gone this week, I meant to post these piccies from last weekend but never got round to it. Oh well there here now.


I love this little Penny black mouse. I bought him last Xmas but never got round to stamping him, so I was delighted to open my Xmas box of stamps to see him sitting there still waiting to be stamped and it was a joy to colour. I just used watercolours pencils on a red mount cut with the Nestabilities and put on some Doodlebug paper also from last year.




A class with Ann Hide on chalking with my favorite Xmas release Sarah Kay stamp. What a lovely relaxed class thoroughly enjoyed by all. Cuttlebug snowflake background, stamped image coloured with chalks and decoupaged.

Rachelle Anne Miller stamp which is not one of my favorites but looks quite sweet, mounted on to Nestabilities shapes and decoupaged. A very tricky one to cut out (especially if you want to keep his stick arms attached) And of course finished with lots of stickles. Thanks Ann for a lovely class.

Back on track for Christmas

Obviously having a Blue Day! but only in colour.


Sorry about the picture, but it does say let it snow. A quick and easy card with Cuttlebug embossing folder then chalked and stickled ( Well of course) with a Sissix swirl and your not the boss of me Cuttlebug Alphabet for the words.







My new personal impressions stamp, stamped embossed and matted from an idea seen at the Glitter pot think the card was by Kay Webb
