Happy Birthday Becki!

Happy Birthday Becki!

Becki is a fellow SU Demonstrator and this is the card

I made for her birthday which is today.

I've used a colour combo of Pretty in Pink and Concord Cruch along

with a paper from the Lap of Luxury DSP pack punched with the

Scallop Trim Border punch. The flowers are from the Punch Potourii

Hostess Level 1 stamp set and punched out with the Boho Blossom punch

and finished off with a Basic Pearl.

The ribbon is Pretty in Pink Satin and 1/8" Taffeta.

The Happy Birthday is from the Occasional Greetings stamp set.

This is the arty farty angle.

Happy Birthday to anyone else who has

their special day this weekend

Christmas Wreath

Today's card is made using the lovely Pocket Silhouette stamp set

and Riding Hood Red, Certainly Celery and Garden Green card and ink.

I have cheated a bit by using a peel off for Happy Christmas

in the centre!

And here's the arty farty angle.

I think I've just made my last Christmas Card - I've lost count
how many I've made this year but I must admit
I'm a bit Christmas Carded out!!!!!

Snow and Cards!

Another pretty day out there now that it has stopped snowing!!!

This was the view this morning when I drew back the curtains

(we live in a first floor apartment in a mill conversion).

The mill dam has now been frozen for 2 weeks as the ducks know to

their cost - there have been lots of belly landings!!!

Right - some cards.

Being housebound yesterday I had a fab day crafting.

I made 18 cards!!!

Here are 2 of them. Both are gate fold or as the latest edition of

"impressions" calls it double door fold cards.

Both are made using Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Very Vanillia card
and papers from Christmas Jingle and Jolly Holiday DPS. I've also used
the Season of Joy stamp set and Satin Ribbon - Old Olive and Very Vanilla.

Here they are both together.

More tomorrow so keep safe and warm

Merry Gift Box!

Here's a gift box to go with the Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas card.

Same colours scheme, same ingredients!

Like lots of other people I have been housebound today because of
the white stuff! So it's been card heaven or card mayhem here today
- depending who you are!!!
Made lots of cards so I've no excuse not to post every day!!
Until next time

Merry, Merry, Merry!

Another week and another Christmas card!

This one is made using Old Olive card, Very Vanilla card and

Satin Ribbon, one of the papers from the Christmas Jingles pack

and the new Scallop Trim Border punch.

The tiny tag is stamped with - yes - the Tiny Tag stamp set (!!! ) in

Old Olive and Real Red ink, punched out with the Jewelry Tag

and tied with Gold Elastic Chord.

It's all finished off with some Basic Pearls.

And here's the arty farty angle we all love so much!

Happy crafting
Chris xx
