Christmas, Merry Monday

 

 Well I am so pleased with this Christmas card - loving  my new Spellbinder dies and also the effects you can get by inking your embossing folders before running them through your machine. I've based my card on ths weeks Merry Monday sketch #24. The second card background was with a second run through the machine without re-inking..a softer finish.  Thanks for taking a peek

So as per usual I'm spending my Saturday afternoon skyping with cardmarker friend Vikki...and sadly this will be my last Saturday for a few weeks as next week will be frantic last minute preparations for our 6 week holiday...we are at present packing up house to leave Karratha and by 10th of August will be living for a short time in Perth, Western Australia. Here is my card for the Winter Wonderland challenge for this week - Candy Canes...well you've go to look carefully to see my santa with his canes but I did have fun putting together this easel card and adding to my Christmas card pile of 55cards.

Christmas, 52(Christmas) Card Throwdown

 

I just had to make another long thin "White" 52CCT Christmas card...although this has a smidge of pale sage. A friend has this amazing snow cottage embossing folder so I added some snow sparkle to the roof and mounted it all on white glitter card. Thanks for taking a peek...and happy TGIF

This morning I've had a break from sorting and packing to make this birthday card using the Inspired by Stamping sketch IRSIC#12.  love making my own flowers and colouring them to suit and today I had a go at some flower buds. I'm really happy with the finished card but did mull over the colour combination for a bit. Vikki was able to skype with me too today and I'm sure going to miss spending my Saturdays creating cards together...still got a few weeks before we head off but also a bit of packing too. Thanks for taking a peek

Morning friends, don't know what came over me this morning but I needed to make a card so here's another Christmas card based on MojoMonday sketch 244 and using crochet trim/lace the challenge requirement at Inspired by Stamping - IBSIC #11. My lace trim is as close as I had on hand but I like the rustic feel to the card. Thanks for taking a peek.
