Christmas 32

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all as well as you can be...hugs

It's Thursday once again, food shopping day! I just cannot believe how fast the weeks are flying by, it seems like yesterday that I did the food shopping last week. We would all be better off if we didn't have to eat LOL. But then, would we? I suppose if we didn't have to eat we wouldn't get paid as much!!!

For my card today,  I use another of those Woodware stamps that jumped into my basket recently, the only trouble was, I had no pearls big enough for the large bubbles so I had to go out and buy card candi.  Oooops! I went to The Range and bought a few packets of different colours, then a few day later I went to Byrkley Park and saw more packets with different colours in so I had to buy them, what have I started?

Anyhow, before you all nod off, here is my card.

My usual white linencard from The Range, folded and cut to just under 6x6.

Image stamped onto smooth white160gsm card from Staples then I lightly chalked.

I added a mixture of card candi and pearls, some of the said pearls I coloured with 

Copic marker pens.

Layered onto green holographic card.

Corners rounded with Cropodile corner chomper.

Sentiment stamped with unknown stamp and Bob's yer Uncle, job done :o)

Christmas 31

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world...hugs

I haven't bought any stamps for about 5 years or more, and suddenly I have been confronted with ones that fell into my basket. I have bought several Woodware stamps in the last few weeks and this is one of them LOL. I am quite enjoying renewing my acquaintance with DL cards instead of my usual 6x6 and 7x5!

My usual white linencard folded and cut to DL size.

I stamped onto smooth white 160gsm card from Staples, then coloured with Copic markers.

Matted using red holographic card which I have hd in my stash forever!

Sentiment stamped with unkown stamp.

Corners rounded with my Cropodile corner chomper.

I think this is such a happy stamp, I hope it makes you smile  :o)

Friday night workshop card.....

.....this time by me!

Good morning everyone, another dull start to the day.

I hope all is well in your world, wherever you are ...hugs

It was my turn to host our Friday night workshop a couple of weeks ago. I did create 2 cards but you have already seen one of them earlier, it was the one with the two little blackbirds on, so  no need to upload it again!

This one is based on a card I made a few weeks ago but we each used a different stamp from an SU set.

Card base is a 7x7 ready folded from Papermania.

Image stamped onto 160gsm smooth white card from Staples, then coloured with Copics and the sky is chalked.

Offcut frame, the diecut panel was for another card a while ago, lifted with sticky foam pads.

Own clouds designed in SCAL and cut with my old Cricut.

Spellbinders frame and clouds cut from Papermania textured card.

Penny Black dragonflies stamped with Brilliance pearlescent ink.

Memory Box diecut foliage.

Computer generated sentiment punched with SU :o)

One stamp, two cards

Good morning fellow Bloggers, I hope all is well with you and your families...hugs

It's dull and overcast here in the Derby area, but still quite warm and the evenings seem to be very sticky this week!

I was looking for something in my craftroom, as you do, and came across this 2006 Penny Black stamp which hasn't seen ink for quite a while so I thought it was time to resurrect it. I love it because it is such a happy image :o)

It was very strong sunlight when I took the pic of the second one (last week, not seen the sun since!) so it looks a bit bleached!

Both basecards are my usual white linencard from The Range, folded and cut to just undar 6x6 and 7x5 respectively.

I stamped the image with Memento ink onto 160gsm smooth white card from Staples, coloured with Copics then cut with Spellbinders dies (first card) and Die-namics dies (second card)

Blue card is a pearlised bit from the scrap box. Grey card is Papermania textured card

Both sentiments are cling stamps with no name.

I added a dash of Glamour Dust to the white images but it doesn't show up here!

Tiny stars are wast from a border die.

Both cards intentionally CAS :o)

It's that hat again

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world...hugs

It's blue skies and fluffy white clouds here at the moment, how long for? Anybody's guess!

After our Friday night workshop involving this image, I decided I needed the stamp so I bought it and his friend Rudloph LOL and here he is in blue, I will show Rudolph another day!

I "found" a box of ready folded pearlised cards lurking amongst my stash from before I started working at Morrison's nearly 9 years ago so that is how old they are LOL.

I stamped my Woodware snowman onto white smooth 160gsm card from Staples and coloured him with Copics, then handcut him before attaching him with sticky foam pads to the DL card.

I added Glamour Dust to give a bit of sparkle.

Woodware greeting stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with Stampendous Detail White powder.

Faux stitching done with a white pen (no name on it).

I tried to make his hat look like it was brushed fabric :o)
