More Christmas Fun

It seems like madness talking about Christmas in all this heat lol but here we go again, today I'm going to show you some gift tags, now both these sets have been retired which I'm very sad about but I'm keeping hold of them because I'm a fiend for making my own gift tags, I like them to match either the card I've made and/or the gift packaging, so here goes

Aren't they cute!!!  They are of course made using the two tags die, oh why oh why have stamping up decided to get rid of this, it's one of my all time favs and is well used. I think I've seen something similar on either pinterest or someones blog, I just can't remember where though so unfortunately I can't give you a link :-(  Lets have a closer look.

I've embossed the whisper white card with the Northern Flurry embossing folder, which you can still buy.

I added a little bling to the tree using the rhinestones

This little chap is my favorite he is just too cute with his blinging buttons lol

Hope you liked this early taste of Chirstmas,

Happy crafting

Christmas in July!!!

Yes I know, I know, Christmas already, but in my defense I promised myself I'd be organized this year and not doing things at the last minute.  However I've only made one card so far lol so I'm still not organized, ah well the thought WAS there :-)

It uses the Ornament Keepsakes set from last years Autumn winter catalogue which is being carried over to this years autumn winter catty Yeah!!!Even better they also have framelets to match!

Lets take a closer look

I've added some pearls to this one for a bit of extra pop

And of course no card is complete without a lovely insert

I'm Leaving on a jet plane .......

Kidding not really lol, well we are in the throws of packing and my little craft room is all packed up and ready to go, :-) today I'm sharing with you a card I made for one of my fellow teaching assistants who left last week to work at a school nearer to where she lives.

I wanted to give it a summery feel so I used the By the Seashore stamp set, I adore this set it's just so lovely, it uses triple step stamping which is easier than it looks, there are lots of tutorials on You Tube if you would like to have a bash at it yourself.

I popped in this little stamped insert to finish it off,  I've used pool party melon mambo and crumb cake for stamping to keep that summery feel throughout the card.

Best Teacher

This is a card I've made for Scott's teacher to say thank you for her work over the past year, I totally stole from the lovely Julie Kettlewell

And a messy craft table to boot lol.  There is a wood-grain stamp but as I don't have it I just drew on the wood-grain with one of the stampin write markers.

I've used a little pool party, calypso coral and tempting turquoise ribbons at either end of the little banner then punched out two hearts in real red using the small heart then punched out the petite curly label in tempting turquoise, melon mambo, punkin pie and daffodil delight.  The sentiment is from the For my family stamp set which has now sadly been retired :-(

Mens Cards

I dread doing mens cards, I find them really hard to cater for sometimes, but todays offering is one I made for my brother to give to my Dad on fathers day.

It uses the Lovely as a tree set, which I've had now for a while but can you believe this is the first time I've used it!!! I think this set is great for mens cards and Christmas cards with a bit of glitter added ;-)

Here's the inside

Again, yes you've guessed it, it's a 6x6 card, it uses crumb cake and chocolate chip card and the stamps have been stamped using early espresso.
