Tapestry Stamps - Noel

A Quick 10 minute card with no fuss.
An A6 card tent fold embossed on the front with one of the long rectangle nestabilities then cut out the next sizes down in red and gold then one more in white which I samped the word Noel and then used the tapestry peg stamps to decorate the O in the word, layered them all together with foam pads and added a pretty ribbon to the top.

Christmas Card - kinkade Forest Chapel

I love the simplicity of this Christmas Card, the main image is a Thomas Kinkade stamp called Forest Chapel stamped in black then cut into an oval with Nestabilities, the robin image was stamped directly onto the card and is a set of Christmas Birds by Inkadinkado.
I punched holes and slotted through the black ribbon on the base card and tied a bow added a sentiment by PTI and used stickles to add some Christmas sparkle.

I'm blogless, too, Jak but would love to enter. My husband and I have no family of our own so for quite a few years we have been spending Christmas Day with one of my sisters and her family. We have a family get together at her home for Christmas lunch (brother, sisters, and their families) since this is really the one time that we can all meet together and catch up. Thus on Christmas Eve my husband and I go around delivering our presents to other family members. We also visit both our parents' graves and put holly wreaths there. Then we have a nice relaxing evening at home. Consequently, we don't have our own Christmas dinner until Boxing Day.Beemer (Alice)

Guest Star Stamper Entry

Trinket tray

I made 2 projects for the Guest Star Stamper using the Little Lady Stamp set by PTI

The trinket tray was made from a CD case I baked it in the oven until it was soft enough to mould making sure I wore oven gloves to do this, once I had the shape I wanted I stamped the lady bug on the bottom of the tray on the outside, I cover the outside with a layer of voila glue and spinkled it with glitter then added a layer of crumpled tissue, then added some H2O colour and another layer of tissue and one more layer of the glue and allowed this to dry. Once dry I edged the tray with a gold permanant pen and tied a ribbon through a hole in the tray where one of the tabs used to be, I finished by adding a leaf and the baby size stamped little lady.


Below is shots taken at different angles the 1st showing a top view of the tinket tray and the 2nd showing it filled with a pearl jewelry set inside.

Just click on the images for a closer view.







Little Lady Spinner Card
The Lady Bug spins around the card until it gets to the flowers, it is mounted on 2 coins with foam pads between the coins these fit between the outer and innner circle of the apature. I wish I could show the spinning in action it is so cute.
