Dasher in the Snow !

A BIG thank you to the ladies of Eldwick for a most enjoyable card class

this morning. You all worked very hard - we managed to make all

four cards!!! Here is the fourth card we made.

We used Dasher and the snowflakes from the Confetti stamp set,

Whisper White ink, card and Organza Ribbon and

Not Quite Navy card and ink. We finished it off with some

Dazzling Diamond Glitter on the antlers.

Ladies -thank you again

Black and White Trees

Here is another card for tomorrows class.

It is very similar to one I made with some friends and nieghbours

a couple of weeks ago!

Whisper White and Basic Black are the 2 colours used with

Contempo Christmas stamp set and Basic Black 1/4" Taffeta Ribbon.

That's all for now

Season of Joy

Just sneaking a quick posting in inbetween getting ready for our Bonfire BBQ

and fireworks later this afternoon!

Here is another of the cards for Tuesday's class in Eldwick.

I just love this particular stamp from the Season of Joy stamp set!

I've used Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive (my favourite colours!) with Very Vanilla.

The paper is from the Jolly Holiday pack.

That's all for now - better get back to my plot toffee!!!

Robin Red Breast!

Happy Saturday!

I've just finished prepping for a card class I am doing on Tuesday

morning with the lovely ladies of Eldwick. Here is a peek preview of one

of the cards we will be making!!!

It is CASED from a swap I received at our training event

in Manchester in September. Thanks Victoria - everyone who has seen

your swap have loved it. Here is my offering!!!

I've used Crumb Cake card and a paper from the Jolly Holiday pack for

the background along with Real Red 1/4" grosgrain ribbon.

Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Old Olive card makes up the robin

punched with the XL Two-Step Bird. The window is made using

the XL 1 3/8" Square punch and a stamp from the Hostess Level 1

Silhouette Sentiments set in Crumb Cake ink and edge in Real Red ink..

The robin is finished off with one of the new Basic Pearl Jewels for it's eye!

Another card for Tuesday next time.

Season of Joy meets Christmas Jingle!

Firstly a big "have a great time" to all those demonstrators at

Convention this weekend. Hopefully I'll be there next year!?

Today's card is made using the Christmas Jingle card and

paper pack, Season of Joy stamp set and Old Olive and Basic Black ink pads.

For the first time I've used my pack of Basic Pearls -just love them!

That's all for now

Baubles!

This is the second card we made last Thursday. It is very similar

to the one we made at September's Training Event in Manchester.

Again we used the Contempo Christmas stamp set.

This time with Cherry Cobbler card and ink and Whisper White and

Early Expresso card. All finished off with the fabulous new

Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon.

This is the arty farty angle!

Oh Christmas Tree!

Hi hope you all had a great weekend.

Today's post is from last Thursday afternoon when I had 6 neighbours

(and they are good friends too!) round to teach them how to rubber stamp

and make a couple of Christmas cards.

They did very well for first timers - to the extent that we are now

going to meet once a month.

Thanks girls and well done!

The first card we made was this one in Whisper White, Basic Black and

Real Red. We used the Contempo Christmas stamp set with Real Red

5/8" satin ribbon and the 1/8" Basic Black taffita ribbon.

Dimensions were used to mount the trees to the card.

Until next time
