Christmas again

 

Another card for the Christmas box and another entry for the Spring into Christmas blog hop

I diecut the snowman from white card and layered onto a red card base. I then added some black buttons and the bird's eye with Enamel Accents I drew around the edge with a white Sharpie and filled in to make the design as per a suggestion by Natasha Foote

Hello everyone, I hope you are keeping well

My card today follows the sketch from Sketch Saturday

I have used a New Zealand made stamp of a pohutukawa blossom, which is better  known as our New Zealand Christmas tree, as it blooms at Christmas time and is a stunning sight, usually found in coastal areas. I highlighted the ends with red Kindyglitz, which doesn't show so well in the scan.I also trimmed some sparkly washi tape to edge the sentiment which was stamped with Brilliance, I think the colour is called red gold

Lets Squash It #7

 

Hello all and welcome

This is one of the cards that I have made for Mother's Day, which is May 9th in our country

I have specifically made it for the 'Lets Squash It challenge' where we have been asked for 3 embossing folders and a person.

I cut my background piece and inserted a dotty one in the gap so that it would fit in my card

I then embossed the floral strip, computer generated the message, and added this lovely little vintage girl.

Perfectly Pantone

 

I am using this beautiful stamp again from Paperbabe. I stamped it on yellow card with a slightly deeper yellow ink and then fussy cut. I positioned it in the bottom right corner and trimmed off the excess, and added a touch of yellow Wink of Stella to highlight

I then used an embossing folder to make the flag message and mounted on a scrap of the yellow card, and adhered to the pale grey card base.

These are the current Pantone colours as requested for

Bee Happy!

 

 

Good morning all

Today's bright and cheerful card is all about the bees!

I first stamped a portion of honeycomb background ( Indigo Blu) to the right, and then diecut a circle from a scrap that was lying on my desk.

I stamped it with the hive and smaller bee, and edged with a black marker

The words were stamped directly onto the card, and the larger bee on a scrap and the fussy cut

They were all embossed with detail clear ep and the large bee is raised on mounting tape

Hi everyone.

It is good to be back home after a 10 day road trip in our motorhome

This quick and easy card was made with Penny Black stickeroos adhered to some scraps of white card. 

I diecut the dog with a die that I won from Stamplorations and edged with a red copic marker

The bone is edged with a black marker and I used an offcut of striped card for the layering
