Rough it up!




It's time for my midway post for our challenge over at
where the theme is add texture or anything goes.

For my Christmas tag I cut my base in white card
and then matted it with some woodgrain paper (SU)
which I had ran through my plank embossing folder, (SU),
and then wrapped some lace around it.
I then ran the tag through my sewing machine
for some extra texture.
Next I die cut two hearts using a Spellbinders
set. The small heart was ran through a
dotty embossing folder and I then swiped some
white ink on the raised dots.
The larger heart was embossed using a
snowflake stencil and crystal paste.
I then added some die cut snowflakes using
a Tutti die set and finished them with some
gems. The words were stamped and cut
and positioned in place.
I finished it off with some white tulle.

*********************************


Next up is my ATC. Lots of texture going on here.
So I started of with some heavy brown paper
from a Basic Grey set.
I stencilled on some crystal paste to the base
and then used some marigold embossing powder
to the bottom half and heat embossed it.
I then wrapped some twine around it.
Next I cut the coffee cup from an old paper set (SU)
along with some coffee beans.
The sentiment and spoon were stamped using the
Latte Love stamp set (SU) and all
added to my ATC.

Double up!


Our new challenge over at
is anything goes with the option of hand coloured image.

For my card I have used a PB stamp called Soft spoken.
I stamped the flower and coloured it up using markers in shades
of purple and green.
I stamped the sentiment in black from a stamp set called
Latte Love (SU).
I then used a stencil called Four Square (SU) and added
some colour around the area of the flower.
I matted it onto some purple card and finished it
off with a bakers twine bow.

I hope you get time to join us this month!

It's also time for a new challenge over at
and the theme this month is anything but square!

We have a lovely prize up for grabs so be sure and join us!

For my card I decided to make a circle easel card.
As it's my eldest son's birthday this month
I kept him in mind when making it.

I had treated myself to stamps, stencils and masks from
Sheena Douglas and for this card I used
Howling at the Moon.
I absolutely love these sets and know it will be well used.
I went with shades of green and blue and created
a scene inside the stencil using the matching stamps.
The circle dies are from a Tattered Lace set.
Other stamp set used are
Country Birdhouse, Artistically Inked and Alphabest (SU).



I hope you get time to join us this month.

Cup of cheer!


I was putting my Son's birthday present together and thought it
needed a little birthday card inside there too.
So I followed a sketch for this card and used the matching
papers, stamps and dies.


It did fit inside perfectly along with the gift holder!

You can watch my tutorial for the box card here
