Wish is could be Christmas

Yes yet another CAS card this is only cos I want to make quite a few cards ready for some busy days ahead and I trying this style out for making normal postage cards. It was touch and go over the Hedgie scarfs but it did make it.
So of course the boys are a Penny Black stamp called Hedgie Shuffle, the papers are First Edition and apart from the the MFT snowflakes thats pretty much it.
Oh I pricked a line at the top cos I've been seeing it on other cards and some stupid person forgot she wanted the image mat the height of the card then promptly cut it. Under the ribbon is a bit of a repair and the ribbon is a bit lower than I wanted but the pricking does take the plainest away from the top.
Should be a quiet weekend and I should at some point get into my craftroom.

Lantern Girl

I had pinned this sketch in my card sketch board and thought it would work with this sweet image from LOTV.
I kinda like the idea of her walking along the fence which is from MFT along with the crochet border die that I had guided round the oval, actual fact the snowflakes are MFT too.
The papers are a Nitwits download and it was finished with glitter and tiny gems, oh not forgetting my trademark of a bit of ribbon.
So who saw Dawny P on Create and Craft wasn't she brilliant. I was watching the 4pm show cos Sis was showing me how to use my Sewing Machine and we made a bag to carry my wheelchair cushion although no one was keen on the bit of curtain material that I had left years ago.
I'm please with my bag although it is a bit rough and ready but now I'm confident to buy a nice piece or I might actual cut some of the pretty material I have. Its a bit like having a pretty bit of card and finding it hard to cut it.

Spiders

Has I was so unhappy about my Less is More Washi trees I decided to make another card, ok I wish I never added the orange strips but they are well and truly stuck down.
Now I may have mention the spiders die I got at the weekend well here they are and it was a perfect time to use my Martha Stewart border punch it comes out at Halloween or when I need paint dripping.
The brick wall is a Sizzix embossing folder and the dotty scallop is another Martha Stewart die but I've hidden most of the pattern just leaving the tiny scallop in view.
Hopefully the challenge has got the tape out their system and never to be repeated again!

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!

First of all I must apologise for yet again managing to use The Greeting Farm Hatter Bean that is out of stock obviously myself and loads of you have the same taste.

The paper is Authentique Delightful it ok thats in stock. Now down to the details, well the corners are La La Land Filigree Corner, my favourtie butterfly die of the moment is the Simon Says Stamp Leanna die but I've used a Memory Box butterfly body. 

The swirls are from MFT medium Fancy flourish but I had to turn one over to get the right look, I know it would work out expensive but I would really love a left and right flourish cos when you turn it over it doesn't have the nice finish.

Now my flowers are Simon Says Stamp Bella Bloom do love this die but they didn't start as white flowers, no originally they were orange cut from the paper pack. Luckily I managed to whip them off cleanly and replaced with white ones don't worry have since used the orange ones on a CAS card to post another time.

Washi Trees

Can't say I was impress with this weeks Less is More Washi tape of course I've seen amazing stuff on various sites but when I use it, it looks pants.
I do have some reels of tape including a couple of green ones so I simply stuck it white card and cut out some trees to make a Christmas Card. I used the Sizzix embossing folder falling snow, also the tags are a retired punch from Stampin Up and yes the sentiment is a peel off but they fit inside the tags brilliantly.
I really not sure on those trees.
Anyway it will tie you over until 2pm when its the new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
Also can you make sure I don't mention how I'm going to go in my craftroom to make loads of cards cos it just doesn't happen.

See you at 2pm
