Mulberry Wood Christmas Part Two

As promised I am back today with my two other Mulberry Wood cards that were made for & featured in Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine. These cards were made using the free gift in issue 133.

For both of these cards I used the Mulberry Wood Stamp Set. I coloured both the images using my Copic Pens. The papers are called Winter Trees from Etsy and everything is matted into Caramel cardstock. I also added some ribbon, buttons & rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping by today and see you soon :)

Mulberry Wood Christmas Part One

Today I thought I would part of my latest project for Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine. I was asked by them to create four cards using the freebie stamp set which was the super cute Mulberry Wood by Crafters Companion - I just love this range. So here is my first two cards...

For both these cards I used the free Mulberry Wood Stamp set that came with this issue. The papers are a digi download called Winter Tree that I found on Etsy. I coloured the images using Copics and mounted everything onto caramel card. I also added some ribbon, buttons & rhinestones.

I will be back tomorrow with my other two cards from this project.

Ho Ho Ho Happy Christmas

I am back today with another creation - see told you I would be making more of an effort to keep my blog updated! This is a quick Christmas card that I whipped up using another fab digi stamp from Whimsie Doodles.

I coloured my Santa digi stamp using my Copics and fussy cut him out. I popped him up onto 3d foam pads for a bit of added dimension. The papers are an old Bazzill Paper Pad - but i just love the coloirs - black, kraft & red, simple yet stylish. My entire lounge is woodland and country tartan so of course i LOVE these papers. I just added some ribbon, gems and a die cut sentiment.

I will be back very soon :)

Me To You Poinsettias

Hello Peeps,

I have been enjoying spending some lovely time with my girls today. We have made Frozen Mosaic Pictures, Button Pictures and more! I did manage to make a start on some quick thank you cards though. I thought I best get a wriggle on so we can send them out to family and friends that were so kind to send us gifts for Christmas. So up first is my latest quick thank you...

For this card I used the latest Christmas Me To You range. I used the 8x8 Decoupage Pad and matching 6x6 paper pad. I added a dotted border around the image using a fine line pen. I die cut two small Die-namics Snowflakes from glitter card and added a rhinestone to the centre. To finish I added a die cut sentiment. I had to keep them pretty simple as I have a few to do!

I will be back soon :)

Gingerbread Wishes

So the festive holidays in our house have begun! The kids have finished school, all the presents have been bought and we have almost given out everyone's presents in the family. I still have a bit of work to do over the holidays but other than that it's relax time and time for stuffing my face!! One of my favourite things about Christmas is Gingerbread Men - I LOVE THEM! So i thought I would use one on my latest card..it was just a 'because I can' card which doesn't happen often!

Hello Readers,

This is a scheduled post as i am away on holiday.
Today it's time to share with you my latest project that was featured in last months Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine. My theme this time around was Ways With Vellum - i have to say i did slightly panic to start with as i haven't used vellum in years and even then never really it used it much. Once i had all the products arrive the ideas soon flowed - thankfully :) So today i am sharing my first two...

 For this card i used a Craftwork Cards Shaped Card Blank and covered it with Crate Paper Oh Darling Papers.The love you word is also from Crate Paper. I simple added some sequins, ribbon, crate paper chipboards & some rhinestones.

This one also features lots of lush products from the Crate Paper Oh Darling Collection. I used the 12x12 Collection Pad & Die Cut Shapes. I stamped a sentiment from a Paper Smooches Stamp Set onto vellum and heat embossed in white embossing powder. I also added some sequins.

I will be back tomorrow with my other three vellum cards :)

Halcyon Days Sneak Peaks 2

Hello Peeps,

So it's time for some more sneak peaks using Halcyon Days CD Rom.

This time i have altered the front of a notebook and also created a mug!

 Lots of people have been asking me how i did the mug - it's very simple. I used a product called Safmat - it's made by Letraset. I just printed onto it and transferred it onto the mug. Very simple but effective and you can use it on almost any surface so it's a definite must have product to have - especially with your cd roms!

This fantastic new collection launches on Create & Craft as The Weekender on Saturday 24th May!
