Card for Angie

Happy New Year!
We have celebrated Christmas 3 times over the last 2 weeks
in 3 different parts of the country with 3 different groups of people!
So - at last - back to normality!
Here is a card I made for a friend's birthday
- hope you had a fab day yesterday Angie!

It's made using the Sale-A-Bration free stamp set Bliss in Old Olive
and Cherry Cobbler, with Old Olive satin ribbon, the Spiral Border punch
and Basic Pearls.
That's all for now

Table Presents

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and didn't eat too much!!!
We spent 3 days at my sister-in-law's, had a wonderful time and
ate too much!!! Now it's back to it.
Today I have been getting ready for New Year's Eve.
We are going to friends in the Lake District and I'm doing
table presents. This is what I've come up with for the ladies -
a box in black and cream or cream and black!
I've used the Trim Border and the Ornament
punches and some Gold Elastic Cord .
Here are the 2 different variations.
Happy crafting

Beware Pirates!

I made my last Christmas card a couple of days ago so there is now time to
play with my new stamp sets that arrived before Christmas took over!!!
These three cards are all made using the Beware Pirates set - just love it!
This first one uses Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla and is
finished off with 4 Neutrals brads.

The second one uses Night of Navy, Bashful Blue and
Whisper White.

The third one is made using Whisper White, Basic Gray and
Basic Black and finished off with 4 more Neutral brads.

I'm off now to have my nails prettied ready for Christmas so don't
think there will be much more card making!

Happy Birthday Jill!

This is the card I made for Jill's birthday - a fellow SU Demo and Julie's Jem!
I've used the Because I Care stamp set which is a Hostess Level 1 set.
I love this flower and I've used marker pens to ink it - Perfect Plum,
Not Quiet Navy, Marina Mist, Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke
and Old Olive - and a lot of huffing!!!
The card is Perfect Plum, Certainly Celery and Whisper White.
I've used the Spiral Border punch and Organza ribbon to finish it off.

The Happy Birthday is from the Occasional Greetings set.

That's all for now. Have a lovely weekend

Christmas Cracker and Night Light

Tomorrow evening my friends and neighbours craft club meets.
It will be sherry and mince pies and a bit of crafting too!!!
We are going to make this cracker (designed by my SU baby, Jules)
using Serene Snowflakes stamp set, Real Red ink and the Real Red
Polka Dot ribbon from the Christmas Bundle and Whisper White card.

Then using the same stamp set and ink we are going to make this
Christmas Night Light using Velum and the Eyelet Border punch.
This is CASED from SU Demo Angela!
For safety the light is one of those battery operated flickering lights!

Hopefully we will make a card aswell - more of that later
