Rudolph - Christmas Card

These punched out Reindeer were such fun to make, all I used was the Stampin Up oval punch and a small dusty miller leaf punch for the antlers some googly eyes and dew drop gems for the nose coloured with Copic markers in black and red, I also used the oval punch for the body and just turned it on it's side.
I found the idea whilst blog hopping here Andrea Walford

Attention to detail...



I added white flower soft to the fence, the fence was made using the cuttlebug distressed stripes A2 embossing folder then cut into strips and distressed by dragging each strip across a brown ink pad. Stickles was also added to give the snow effect.

Ollyfants Autumn

This stamp is from the Ollyfant range and is called Autumn 2 I love the wind swept little girl and the umberella in this set.
Coloured with Copic and Promarkers.


Attention to detail...

The ribbon was slotted through the button then tied into a bow.

The top patterned paper was punched to give it a fancy edge and the diecut Nestabilities label was sponged with ink around the edges.

I used the In Bloom PTI stamp Set to make this card.
The base card was such a pretty Aqua colour that I used the left over pieces to stamp the sentiment, flowers and leaves onto and didn't need to colour them at all.
I took a square of white card slightly smaller than the base card and stamped the largest flower all over the card in black ink, tied a matching ribbon around this then stuck it onto the base card leaving the aqua border showing.
I cut out the sentiment, flowers and leaves and attached them to the card with foam pads then a couple of pearls and a little bit of stickles and I was done.


Attention to detail...

A dot of stickles glitter glue was added to the centre of each flower and the the veins of the leaves to make them pop.

Transfer T-Shirt Paper - Review

This is a transfer paper by Photo Paper Direct and is so clever, all you do is simply print out the image you want then iron it onto T-Shirts, Bags, Baby growers(Onesies), table clothes, napkins, pillowcases Oh my word the possibilities are endless.
I made my printout onto the paper for work hence the La Pashe logo, but I also had all of the crafting Cd's in my head when printing this, Oh my! imagine a bag made with Joanna Sheen's Hollywood CD or personalised bedding, matching sheets and pillowcases from floral Cd's heavens the possibilities are endless.
All in all a great product simple to use and they also do a glitter transfer sheets to add a bit of bling.
I nearly forgot to add my plain cotton shoulder bags cost less than £1 and the transfer sheets are priced at less than 50p a sheet so I great present or even a fund raiser for less than £1.50


I did the back of the bag with a smaller design

I love this idea of taking a low priced cotton bag and personalising it as a Gift for friends and family (Ohhh Christmas is coming).



I even managed to get my daughter Natalie to model.
