A bit of Christmas humour

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all warm, well, and not being blown about. I haven't looked out yet to see what happening but the wind sure is noisy!  I hope that all those peeps in Scotland without power are soon restored...hugs

Thank you for identifying the dies used on my CAS Christmas tree cards a couple of posts ago. I have now put a bid in for them and I am waiting to see if I win!
As for the trapezoid frames, I 'found' them at a friend's house last night and we did a swap so I now have them, and she has what she wants in exchange LOL.

I 'rediscovered' Greetings Card Factory on my computer (not used it for years) and found the image I have used inside this card, so I knew what I wanted to do with it as soon as I saw it. I had previously created the base card and cut the window in it, then put it aside because I didn't know what to do with it!

Basecard is Papermill white hammered, folded and cut to 6x6, then window cut with Cheery Lynn Die.

Trees cut with Lea'bilities and Stars with Memory Box dies.

Unfortunately I can't remember how I converted the image to print it in Word, which means it will be a one off :o)

Sunflowers

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all well on this lovely sunny morning, hugs

Back to my normal posting day LOL so here is another card for you, my own photograph of course!

I took this photograph at one of the many National Trust places I visited the year before last, but I can't remember which one!!!!!

Photograph printed onto white linen card from Papermill Direct, then cut with Spellbinders, as is the sentiment and both mats.

Base card is white hammered from the Papermill shop before they all closed, folded and cut to 6x6. Orange paper is from the same place.

I think the sentiment is from an SU set, too painful to go upstairs and check it out at the moment! White pearlised card embossed with Embossalicious.

Ribbon csrap from stash.

Very simple card really :o)

You've seen the blue set, now here is the red set

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

I opened the curtains this morning and what did I see? Yes, rain, rain and more rain :o(

Oh well, there's nothing we can do about it so we may as well make the best of it!

I am off to Long Eaton this morning to take Stephen for his speech therapy.

I took him for his neuro therapy on Tuesday and he is doing so well that they asked him to make his own way there next week to see if he can plan a journey okay.  He goes out every day and uses his bus pass a lot, but he just gets on the bus to anywhere without planning, so they are really testing him now. No doubt I will be on tenterhooks while he is gone but I am sure that he will be alright (says she biting on her knuckles, LOL)

Anyhow, time to get onto my cards for today. I said when I posted the blue set that I was thinking of making a red set too, and here they are, or at least some of them!

All base cards are white hammered from the Papermill shop years ago, folded and cut to 6x6, then apertures cut with Spellbinder's Nesties.
Papers are from stash, also from years ago. They are HOTP except for the spotty one, which is Basic Grey.
Dies used are Memory Box,  flower punches are Woodware, and poinsettia is an SVG file from Penny Duncan and cut on the Cricut.
Various stamps used with Memento inkpad.
I hope you like them :o)

Resist stamping.....

.....but it doesn't show up too well on the pic!

Good morning everyone, where did the sun go. It's been raining all night here!

I hope you are all well or getting there...hugs

I have decided to leave off taking my statins for a month to see if they are making my shoulder and other pains worse, missed 4 nights so far so a long way to go yet, watch this space!

Onto my card for today. As said above, the resist stamping doesn't show up well unless you enlarge the pic.

I made this a few weeks ago, but decided it wasn't fit to show, but it has grown on me a bit since then, so here it is LOL.

Base card is hammered white from PMS, folded and cut to 7x5,

Red layer is plain card from the scrap box.

I stamped the dandelion clocks (sorry, don't know the make) with versamark onto smooth white card, then heat embossed with holographic embossing powder. 

I then inked with red Memento inkpad.

Stamps are a mixture of Lyndsay Mason and Lavinia.

Sentiment stamp from an old set by Stamps and Smiles :o)

A change from Christmas cards.....

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world, and if not hugs to you.

I thought I would give you a change from the Christmas cards, although I have made another 10 of them this week, that makes about 30 so far, long way to go yet :o)

For my card today I used my Sizzix Bigz Daisy die which you may remember I rediscovered a couple of weeks or so ago along with my TH Tattered Floral Bigz die, and I mean to use both of them more :o)

Once again I have used paper from way back before 5 years ago, sorry there isn't a name on it.

Base card is hammered white from PMS. also way back before the Papermill shops all closed, folded and cut to 6x6.

Daisy cut from the same paper as the backing then inked with Big and Juicy pad, gem/brad added, flower then raised with sticky foam pad. Foliage is Marianne and Memory Box dies cut from a scrap of PDA textured card. Ribbon is also a scrap from my ribbon box. 

Nothing new was harmed in the making of this card :o)
