Santa Collage Stamp - Rubber Stampede

Christmas hand made cards are made very easy with the Santa Collage rubber stamp by Rubber Stampede, I believe it is still hard to get hold of but I know that Krafty at Krafts in the US has it for sale, I've had mine 2 years now and it is still one of my favorite Christmas stamps.
I inked the stamp with Versafine Toffee a new colour out and stamped it onto cream card stock, I used stickles glitter glue to give it some sparkle then mounted it onto a Nestablities Label cut from old gold coloured card stock.
I then used the same ink to stamp up the flourish stamp from the Silent night stamp set by Papertrey Ink and stamped onto a cream tent fold A6 card and again added glitter.
I used different snowflake craft punches to punch shapes from the gold card then add glitter to them and layered then up, Don't they just pop?
I layered all of the pieces together and finished with a satin ribbon.

A closer view of the snowflake, as you can see the glitter doesn't need to be perfect to become effective. Ialso added a gold stone to the center of mine.

Hero Arts - Dandelion Stamp

This every day card was made using the Hero Arts Dandelion Stamp.

Make a wish then blow!

I coloured it with water colour pens misted it with water and stamped onto smooth white card, depending how much you spray the stamp will depend on the effect you get, this one was sprayed 3 times, you can get a more abstract effect by spraying more.

I used a background paper by Anna Griffin and glittered it with stickles glue.

I layered it together using nestabilities for the scalloped rectangle and tied it all together with a ribbon and a couple of pearls.

I finally managed to get a card put together (decorating to blame) I was panicking not knowing when I would get back to my card making.

Aircraft Decoupage - La Pashe

These are made from one of the La Pashe decoupage sheets you get 3 good sized aircraft to a sheet, the attention to detail on these aircraft are amazing.

Just brilliant to make your card making easy for mens cards.

Penny Black Stamp - Mother card

A watercolour technique is used to create the Penny Black Curlicue real flower stamp image that you see on this card, I used water colour felt tipped pens to colour directly onto the rubber stamp I then sprayed the stamp with a fine mist of water a couple of sprays then stamp onto the card, this gives the effect of hand painted flowers, now isn't that amazing?

I layered up with Nestabilities and a pretty Once upon a time paper.

I used a previously made up blossom and added a ribbon to finish.

Christmas Pudding Card

I used a Pink Petticoat image for this card, I thought it would be a perfect Christmas card for Lauren my Daughter who is expecting our first Grandchild.

Isn't it a fun image?

I coloured it with Tombo oens and layered it up ontop of Nestabilies die shapes, I printed the wording and holly directly onto the card from publisher on my computer.

I ribbon and a bit of stickles glue to finish.
