Wondrous Wreath

Hello Readers

It's looking a bit sunny today in deepest darkest Yorkshire after yesterdays full day of rain.  I'm also off to get some new glasses so my projects should now be even better because I'll be able to see them lol.

Today I want to share with you a card made with the Wondrous Wreath stamp set and framelets.  Have you started your Christmas cards yet?  I always have these good intentions of starting them early then end up rushing them all at the very last minute.

So onto today's card

 I've gone with traditional colours on this one, but the wreath is so versatile, you know from yesterday that I did this wreath in autumnal colours, I've also see it in light blues and greys and it looks stunning.
 

Here's a closer look, I adore that Filigree frame embossing folder, I can see me using it alot.

Well I hope you like today's offering and if you would like to purchase any of the items used to make this card please click on the links below.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

Yes it's all about trees today and gift bags,  This little idea started after I was telling my son Scotty too Hotty about going to pick out the family Christmas tree with my Dad.  Without fail he'd always pick one that was too tall even though we would point this out he'd still insist on getting it and low and behold he'd have to chop a bit off to get it in the house lol.

So enough of that here's the gift bag.

As you can see it's created using the mosaic madness stamp set, very easy to make,  the star by the way is made of clay and has the recipients name on the back so it can double as a tree decoration.

I finished the tree off with a little sliver star punched from the sliver glimmer paper.

Hope you like it

Lovely as a Tree #3

Hope you all had a great weekend, did you make any cards for world card making day?  It was a very exciting day on Saturday and some fellow demonstrators as it was the launch of our challenge page on facebook.  Why don't you go over and have a look the page is here and join in the fun.

Now for today's card, it again uses the Lovely as a tree stamp set

I've used the heat and stick again on this one with dazzling diamonds.  The tree is stamped in garden green. Here's a closer look

I think it's very effective, although I did get covered in glitter in the process and I resembled a 70's disco diva by the time I was finished lol.

The Sentiment is from more merry messages and I've added a few jewels to the corner for a bit of extra pop!

Joyful Christmas

I love this stamp set, just because you can do so many things with it.  I'm going to show you another 6 x 6 card using this stamp set

That poinsettia is just gorgeous!  Love it.  I stamped it out in versamark then I embossed it using some of the gold embossing powder,  but it works just as well if you stamp in the new gold ink pad if you don't want to go to the trouble of embossing it.  The verse is from More Merry Messages, this stamp set is lovely and has a few longer sentiments that can be used as verses inside your cards.  I've used very vanilla and burnished gold as the main colours on this card.

Here's a closer look at the verse which I stamped in soft suede. 

 


Here's that lovely poinsettia I added a few pearls to the middle of it

Christmas Tag

So yes I am being organised this year and have already started making my Christmas gift tags!
Yes shock horror the world must be coming to an end if I am organising myself like this lol

So heres the tag

I'm quite pleased with it's vintage look, I stamped the images in Early Espresso and also inked all the edges in this too.  I've used the large scalloped circle, the top not die and I think the 1 1/2 inch circle punch.  I've stamped on Real Red card, Garden Green and Whisper White.  The stamp set is Christmas Lodge.  I adore this stamp set mainly because it pleases my childhood view of how Christmas should be.  I've used a vintage brad and some gems to finish it off.

I hope you like it, if you would like any of the items used to make this card please email me your order at debbie72keating@yahoo.co.uk

A Little bit of cyber crafting

Yesterday evening a group of us from the lovely Monica's team got together on the internet to do some cyber crafting, We were given two challenges and a project to complete.

Monica issued our first challenge at 6.15pm and we had just 45 minutes to complete it, I only had half an hour as I went into crafters block for the first five minutes lol.  The challenge was to make something using 2 colours and one neutral colour, a punch two sets of ribbon e.g bakers twine and ribbon, 2 gems or pearls and a brad.

This is what I came up with

I used the new mitten punch, real red, garden green and very vanilla card, lucky limeade bakers twine, you can just see this at the top of the card behind the mittens.  The stamp is from the delightful dozen stamp set and I stamped it in garden green ink I ran the very vanilla card through the petals a plenty embossing folder.  The green ribbon on the mittens is the free everyday enchantment ribbon we got some months back with free brads! I then added two gems in the middle of two of the flowers.

We don't as yet know who has won this challenge, pop back tomorrow to see challenge two and I should be able to tell you who the winners are

Happy Crafting
