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.

La Blanche II

I persevered and managed finally to get a couple of decent cards done with my bigger stamps from La Blanche. As I wanted them for this weekend for posting abroad. I did the backgrounds with smaller stamps in gold ink and then used gold embossing powder on the trees. I mounted them on to gold mirror card and finished off with some gold ribbon, charms and sentiments.




I did several others but am not happy with the quality I am getting with my camera so I will take them again and post later.
Haste ye back...........

Christmas fairies

Well I have managed to make twenty Christmas cards this last week so am pleased still have a lot more to make and all the inserts to do but at least I should have finished my Canadian ones on target. Here are another two examples out of the ones I did yesterday.


This one I stamped coloured with Marvy Le Plume pens added backgrounds made with my nestabilities, and embossed with my Cuttlebug. I did border with Martha Stewart punch and added a few embellishments.



This one ended up with a different topper as I ruined the stamped one intended for the card but I am pleased with the finished result. I added some ribbon and Christmas charm.

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

La Blanche

A few more cards using some new foam stamps by a company called La Blanche. I was pleasantly surprised at the crisp images I achieved with them.



I stamped then chalked the images and added some pretty little jewels and background papers.

I would have had some more done but they are bigger stamps than I normally use and I am having trouble getting a good image because the arthritis in my hands is very painful, but will keep trying and hope to post photo soon.

Haste ye back.....

Cuddly Buddly

A couple more examples of Christmas cards I have made will not show you them all in case I bore you. This time I used some Cuddly Buddly stamps I bought last year and never used, my Prisma pencils again some new background papers and charms. The colouring in takes the time and as I have still so many to make will have to come up with some other ideas.




Hope you like them and haste ye back........
