Christmas Card - Penny Black Fantasy

I Just love this Penny Black Fantasy stamp so I thought I'd give it another airing.

I stamped the tree onto black cardstock I used paint as the medium and acrylic white paint squished into an old white ink pad, it still was not as white as I wanted so.... not wanting to give up on it I traced the design with a white gelly roller pen. The snowflakes on the base card however are stamped with the acrylic paint I think you'd have to agree it is still whiter than a white craft ink pad would be.

I stamped the Peace (my own stamp) in black versafine ink onto white card then layered all the pieces onto a black 14 x 14cm base card added some bling to the snowflakes and the Peace then finished by adding a little stickles glue to the tree.

Homestead Christmas card

The scenery stamp used in this card is Serendipity Cling Stamps - Winter Homestead and can be found at Joanna Sheen the Joy and Peace words are my own stamps.

The base card is an A5 finished card in navy blue.

I stamped the winter scene in versafine black ink then in the same ink stamped Joy above and Peace below the scene, using Cut'n'dry foam I sponged nay ink around the edges of the card graduating this into the center, I used stickles glitter glue to outline the first letter in each word and used an iridescent glue on the winter scene to mimic snow I used a heavy lace trim to make the snowflake and added stickles to make it twinkle and to finish I added a white ribbon.

Paper Blossoms - 1st North Yorkshire meet Card

On November 1st I'm taking a craft class in North Yorkshire in the morning we will be doing a Christmas card with some interesting stamping techniques and in the afternoon I will be teaching some paper flowers from punches showing how to build them up and shape the petals and leaves. I thought this would be the perfect flower to start with making 4 to add to a card would help to develope their own technique of shaping.

Quick Card

You know how it is... sometimes you just need that quick card well thats just what this one is, I needed a card for someone who hates pink but loves flowers "eeek" no pressure there then.

So the saying goes "blue and green should never be seen unless there's something in between" does white and glitter count? lets hope so.

A simple background paper with a couple of matching die cut flowers a blue base card a piece of green cardstock to layer cuttlebug embossed down one side, a pretty ribbon tied at the top stickles glitter glue to outline parts and a heat gun to drie the glitter glue quick and there we have it.
