February Christmas Cards.........just a wee bit late :D

February went past in a whizz and before I realised it, I hadn't blogged my cards for my Christmas challenge with Minxy whereby we make 5 cards every month. So here are mine just a teensy wee bit late, lol. A few of them are made using dreamweaver stencils as I was practising for the secc, I had a bit of an idea I would have to that as a demo & I wasn't wrong!! Just as well I had a wee practise :D


The top card is one of the dreamwearver stencils & embossing paste glittered....thankfully I'm a lot better at this technique now!!! And the card directly above is SU! stamps decoupaged & ickle gems to form the berries.



The last two images are on of the card full on & the next is a close up of the tree branches. This was a Hero Arts stamp which I stamped onto glitter card stock then added the gems to add a bit of dimension to the tree branches.

Another dreamwear stencil, the card shape was made using my Go Kreate create a card die cut and distressed around the edges using DIs.



And here I think I've saved the best for last.........this is my favourite, once again the card shape was created using my 6" Go Kreate die, inked up & distressed with my DI's is this gorgeous Crafty Individuals stamp & snowflake background stamp. That's my 5 cards for February and now I better get to work on the March ones!! Check out Minxy's blog to see her beautiful creations!!! Thanks for dropping by.......Hope to see you again soon!

The Sunday Stampers Challenge

This week Hels has set the challenge to co-ordinate along with Object D'Art Challenge, so that makes the theme for the Sunday Stampers Green & Tin for Object D'Art Challenge..............For the moment I'm working on the green!!! This is a little Birthday card for a friend, I've used Hot Off The Press papers, ribbon from my stash & the lovely stamped image was sent to me by my friend Joana - pretty, isn't it? I also used two punches from Stampin Up! (the circle & scalloped edge shape) Thanks for looking - all comments appreciated!! (Please click on image for clearer view)

Birthday Card

I have quite a few Birthdays this month & as usual, I'm running late!!! This is a card made with my favourite papers at the moment, by Kate Knight - Hint of Pink, I covered half of the card with the grey paper, I added a pink ribbon as a border, then one of Heidi Swapps' seriously big blooms attached with a brad. I then covered the brad with an embossed scalloped circle - used my cuttlebug to emboss & my Stampin Up! scallop punch. I edged the card with colourbox chalk inks & put a pink insert inside, with the sentiment Happy Birthday stamped using a Penny Black stamp.
Adhesive stones on the centre of the flowers finished it off. Hope you like it?? All comments appreciated!
