To a Deer Friend

Good morning and happy Friday, yay. Are you looking forward to the weekend as much as I am? It seems to have been a really long week for some reason lol.

Anyway, I finally got around to start making my Christmas cards, and this is the first one. I am loving the new sets from Lawn Fawn, this one is called Cheery Christmas.

I started by stamping and diecutting all of the images, and then coloured them all with Copic Markers.

Then I found a Christmas paper from the stash that was multi-coloured, and cut it down to fit an A2 card. I cut a slightly larger stitched mat from white card and then used a navy blue card blank.

I arranged all of the images and stuck them on using foam tape, then I added a puffy star, and a couple of other stickers to the tree, then highlighted the others with Glossy Accents.

Then to finish it off, I stamped a sentiment from the same set, on to plain white card and then stuck it on to the background.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Kraft Flowers and Turquoise Spots

Good morning all, I hope you are having a good start to your week. I have my grandsons over to stay this week, but unfortunately I'm at work for a few days, but they are being very well looked after by Jude and my daughter while they are here and I do get to spend the evenings with them. :O))

Today's card was again using bits and pieces of die cuts that I already had and making a card with them. The background turquoise card and the turquoise spot card are both cut with Avery Elle, Wonky Stitched Ellements.

The Kraft layer in between is cut using an MFT Stamps Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle and the grass is from MFT Stamps Grassy Edges.

The flowers are a Spellbinders Die D-Lite, and the butterfly is from an old magazine freebie.

I love how you can combine stamps and dies from different companies and make them work together, just by using coordinating or contrasting colours and patterns.

The sentiment is from the WPlus9 Wishing You set and is cut out with an MFT Stamps Stitched Banner die. Then I just added a few enamel accents and tiny pearls to finish it off.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Colour wash card

Good morning all. hope you have had a good week. It's been a little busy here this week so I'm looking forward to a nice quiet weekend ;o))

Today's card was made using a new background stamp from Stamping Up called Watercolor Wash. Jude purchased it a few weeks ago, but this is the first time it's been used.

I inked the stamp with a multicoloured pigment ink pad and then stamped it on to plain white card. 

Then I cut a star frame by using two different sizes of the Sizzix nesting stars.

I used half of a Cheery Lynn die to cut the Happy out of black card. Then I added it to the card front on a piece of white card, and raised it on foam tape.

The Birthday banner was cut from white card using half of a Memory Box die. 

I stuck the star to the front over the stamped background and then added the birthday banner across the middle. 

Then to finish it off I added a few enamel accents in coordinating colours.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.
