WHW #121–Embossed Edges

Last Wednesday at Inspired by Stamping their Whoo Hoo Wednesday technique #121 was for Embossed Edges...I love doing this technique and on Saturday made this card at friend Vikki craft space using ALL of her gear as I'm in town this week cuddling up to our new granddaughter Sophie Alice.  I chose to emboss the edges of my tag with a matching ink colour - got to use Vikki's new Spellbinders lattice die and inked up some seambinding to match....it for a special couple who sent me a birthday gift :-), I might add a flower to the top left corner.  Thanks for taking a peek

Christmas Bauble

A second card from me today for the 52 (Christmas) Card Throwdown challenge #22, with the theme "Bling It Up".  I created this sparkly Christmas bauble by rubbing and ink stick over my stamp, stamped it onto card stock and then sprinkling gold glitter over....it worked fabulously, so I've made a couple. I only added one gold gem to the star and a dark purple bow to finish  it off.  Thanks for taking a peek

Merry Christmas Tree

This weeks challenge at Less is More - Week 142 is TREES....so of course at it is coming up Christmas and I need more cards I've made a soft Christmas card with my tree die cut and distress ink background.  Then I've dressed up the tree with clear crystal gems for the theme at 52 (Christmas) Card Throwdown #22 - "Bling it up".        Thanks for taking a peek 

Peace, Love, Joy

Bright Merry Christmas

Oh yes did I not dig into the bags in search of ribbons for this card and yes, some I've had for a very long time, what they asked for at the Shopping Our Stash challenge SOS#123 this week - your oldest ribbon. I've teamed that with the layout at Sketchbook Saturday #107 for this gold theme Christmas card. Thanks for taking a peek

 SOS #123 - Oldest Ribbon  

May Peace be your Gift

  Love this simple layout from CAS(E) this Sketch #50, and the holly wreath from Chocolate Baroque stamped and embossed really nicely. The cardstock is cream and looks heaps better than the pic.  Thanks for taking a peek

Merry and Bright
