Jamie

Hello again and welcome to Wednesday.

Friday is my future son-in-law's 25th birthday and this is the card I have made for him. It's ok to share with you as he doesn't read this rubbish lol ;-)

The image is another Saturated Canary digi cut down.  It is the other half of Country Mama and measures about 2 by 2.5 inches.

I layered him up with papers from the Portobello Road collection and red cardstock.  The back layer is polka dot embossed card on top of a red gingham.

The sentiment is from a digital sentiments set I purchased last year and is also matted with red card.

I added two layers of blue ribbon to compliment the inner paper and the boy's t-shirt, them added it all to an 8 x 8 card blank.

I hope Jamie likes it lol.

Merry Christmas

Good morning all, hope you have had a good week and are ready for the weekend. I must admit to being a little excited about going away tomorrow. I am really looking forward to the break, but I shall soooooooooo miss the craft room !!!!!!! But we are taking a few supplies with us to stop the withdrawal symptoms getting too bad lol.

 

Today's card is back to Christmas again, just green and white and very simple.

 

 

I started with the background and ran a piece of white Centura Pearl card through the Snowman Snowflake embossing folder. I matted this on to a piece of dark green card on a 7x5 card blank.

 

I then stamped three Christmas trees using Forest pigment ink and heat embossed with a Verdigris embossing powder. I cut them out by hand leaving a small border.

 

 

 

 

I added a piece of green gingham ribbon and a silver snowflake charm and then stamped a simple sentiment with the same colours.

 

 

I finished the card by adding some iridescent gems and stars to the trees and snowflakes. I think it's really pretty and can see us making more of these in different colours.

 

 

Anyway that's all for now I've got a million and one things to do today before we go, so see you soon.

 

Take care.

Morning bloggers - Friday at last ;)

 

This week has been a little calmer than the last few and it looks like we have a home and not a storage shed at last.  Most of the craft room is put away and now begins the job of working out what we actually have.  We have found lots of things along the way that had been forgotten in our stashes.  We intend to set a few challenges to use some things up.  Hopefully you will join us.

 

Todays offering is a Saturated Canary digi stamp coloured with alcohol pens.  I fancied something a bit brighter so went with oranges and yellows for a change.

 

 

I matted the topper on orange and layered over an orange floral background on a 5x7 cream base card.

 

I added an accent of blue gingham to hold the sentiment.  This was a piece of a larger sheet which co-ordinates with the orange floral paper.  I cut out the circle and edged with a co-ordinating pen.

 

I can't remember the name of this image but I thought it was fun for a summer birthday card.  What do you think?
