christmas was a whirlwind

Hi

So in a whirlwind of activity Christmas has been and gone! That went so fast.

I hope you had an amazing time with your friends and families.

Today I would love to share with you one of my Christmas cards.

I have made a few versions of this to give to family and friends so I have kept

the card relatively simple as the topic colouring was time consuming.

Don't forget to stop in at Bizzy Becs as you still have a couple of days to join our anything goes challenge.

Supplies used:

Whipper Snapper Winter Get Together stamp

Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Ovals

Thanks for stopping by

Joy To The World

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Louise here to share some Christmas Love
Today is the day of celebrating Christmas with your families and loved ones and it is really one of my most favourite days of the year.

The BBQ, the ham, the pool, Love Actually.

It really is the BEST day.

I am here to share the Christmas love with 2 cards made with the Penny Black stamp set, Joy to the world.

This first card feature the gorgeous little hedgie that comes in so many of the Penny Black sets, and  I just love him.  He is coloured up with alcohol markers.

My second card uses the Santa and reindeer images from the set.

I have added hills using Stitched Hillside Borders from Lawn Fawn

Thanks loads for joining me today - I will let you get back to enjoying your Christmas day.

Wedding Card

Who doesn't love a wedding?

My friend had two granddaughters getting married within weeks of each other 

and she wanted hand made cards for them.

This is one of them:

You can't see it in the photo but I had bought a beautiful pearl embossed

cream card stock so I kept it reasonably plain.

Sue Wilson - Shadow Boxes - Mr & Mrs

Frantic Stamper Die - With this Kiss Couple

(I cut three colours out and joined them accordingly)

The flowers were:

Heartfelt Creations - Arianna Blooms

(with pearls in centre)

Added a little bit of cream and gold trim ribbon.

Inside I did a 3d heart with gold embossed words:

(Forgot to take a photo of inside)

Happy Crafting everyone.  Don't forget your entry for this month's anything goes.

Have a Happy Holy Christmas

Masking with Darkroom Door Gum Trees Stamp Set

Hi everyone, Shaz here.
it's time again for my mid-month post on Bizzy Bec's Design team, and today I'm revisiting a great stamp set from Darkroom Door - Gum Trees.
I love this set it has two great tree stamps - used both of them over on this post here.

So today I am using different style - previous one was a brayered scene, and this is ink duster scene, with larger of tree simply embossed in front of a masked scene.
On right is the first one I did, but I stamped the "Remember your roots" slightly crooked by 2mm or so (card for family not living in Oz). I cant handle crooked. So started again!
