Oh Gosh...

I've some really exciting news that I am dying to tell you all about, I'm going to be a very busy bee over the next few days and hopefully I'll be able to let you know what is happening, All I can say is the big event will be early next week.

I am hoping that you will enjoy sharing my news and support me along the way.

Floral Card - Beautiful Blooms

I stamped directly onto the white card using the leaf stamp from PTI Beautiful blooms and outlined some of the leaves with Diamond Stickles. Using the Nestabilies Rectangles I cut out the scalloped and the classic rectangles for matting the main image. I then stamped the leaf from the same set but masked off the top leaves and then stamped the flower head, again I outlined the leaves and flower head with stickles glitter glue. I finished by wrapping the top notch twill ribbon around the top of the card and knotting.

Ingrediants -: Card stock.Ribbon, ink and Stamps from Papertrey Ink

Cuttlebug Card - Lace Tree

Faster than the speed of light, I blinked and it was finished.

I used the Christmas Cuttlebug A2 folder, Lace Tree embossed onto white card then added stickles Diamond to the tree. matted on red card stock then added to an A5 white card I ties a red ribbon around the card by making a slit cut in the crease and threading the ribbon though.

Finished by stamping A Merry Christmas underneath the ribbon in a dew drop Brilliance Rocket Red ink pad .

Stampbord

I love playing with Stampbord, I blended fluid chalk inks over the Stampbord then stamped the largest of the Spiral bouquet stamps over the top in black ink, once this had dried I added Opalite Ink (this ink adds a pearlescent finish) by patting the stampbord untill it was fully covered I stamped the rest directly onto the card and added stickles, and a few pearls to the Stampbord to finish.

New Home Card

This has to be one of the fiddliest cards I have made in a long time, The house was stamped twice and cut both out and I decoupage the bottom half so that it had a 3D effect I coloured them both using Tombo brush pens then added Glossy Accents to the beams.

I then stamped the fence onto a seperate piece of card stock and coloured between the fence in green for the grass, I then cut this out and added a couple of folds at the sides so it would wrap around the house.

On a seperate piece of card stock I coloured the bottom quarter green for the grass and added blue to the top of the card for the sky.

I made a gate fold card in a light green then stamped the wording around this I attached a ribbon to the back of the house long enough to wrap around the card and tie in a bow and only stuck one half of the house to the card.

All supplies are from Papertrey ink
