Wishing you all the Joys of the Season

For this months card for Society of Stampaholics - November Card Challenge, I chose to make a Holiday themed card using the colour palette. I love this stamp from Power Poppy and stamped it in Antique Linen and then coloured it in with Distress Inks. I used a decorative die to cut and layer the image and added a simple sentiment to finish. Thanks for taking a peek and hope Sara from USA likes her card.

One of the following themes: – Landscapes or Holiday or Friendship

Merry Christmas

In my stash I have heaps of "leftover", pieces I've stamped and not used - At Jingles Bells this week the ides is to use your "Holiday Leftovers" to create a card. This Christmas tree has been in that stash for a few years now and I'm pleased that I have been able to team it with this pretty background paper. I finished it with a layered stamped sentiment and a few gems. Thanks for taking a peek

Holiday Leftovers

Merry Christmas

It was so nice to spend some time with friend Vikki yesterday...we were busy ladies making cards and this is my final card - I just love how it turned out. I stamped the sentiment and embossed in white and then stamped the poinsettia image in black off-the-page. I used Distress Inks to sponge on the three colours for the Just Us Girls #320 challenge - colours - red, green and gold - (my gold is not metallic). When that was dry I coloured in the image also with DI and flicked some water over the background for added effect. Thanks for taking a peek

Happy Christmas

Here is my take on the layout at CAS(E) this Sketch CTS 150. I stamped and gold embossed a pattern stamp, die cut three circles and then inked them up in different colours for my baubles. I hand drew on some bows and strings and stamped on a simple sentiment. To finish I inked and gold embossed the edge of the panel before attaching to my base card. Thanks for taking a peek

Thinking of You

Christmas cards have been occupying most of my card making time lately so it is nice to have a change of sentiment... this card is for the Time Out challenge #44 - CASEing a card made by Karen (see below). I masked off a rectangle on my base card and stamped this frangipani background stamp and over stamped with the sentiment ... finished with a small flower stamp and pearl center.

Twelve Tags of Christmas

I have really enjoyed making tags and playing along with Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas....here are my last two.

This one I CASED Loll's tag for Day 9 - two layers of shiny gold card for the base, the top one embossed with a Christmas EF. Then a die cut flower - three layers embossed with a Snowflake on one of my EFs. Finished the tag with a tulle tie, stamped and embossed sentiment and gold cord and gems for the flower center.

This tag just evolved from me finding this little stamped and embossed scene in my stash of experiments - I had made it all crooked and by cutting it down that was eliminated. I used my dies to create a frame and cut a snowflake to attach over the stamped sentiment. Mounted it all on a lovely spotty background and finished with a lacy ribbon tie.
