Double post double prizes!

Our new challenge over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

has started and the theme is FANTASY.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs 

so be sure and come and join us!!

For my card I used a fairy stamp which is

from Lavinia stamps which I got free with

a magazine a good few years ago.

It comes with the fairy, toadstools and some

greenery so that is what I used to build my scene.

I did add a stamp set called Peaceful Boughs (SU)

to create the border around my fairy.

I have highlighted her with white gel pen

and added lots of colours to her magical

Christmas sprinkles.

The sentiment is a sticker from my stash.

This little fairy is decorating her toadstools

for Christmas.

Our challenge over at

WE LOVE STAMPING

has the optional theme of red/green

so I went with a badly needed Christmas card.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs here too

and a surprise second prize so be

sure and get your entries in!!

For my card I used an old stamp set called

Poinsettia Petals (SU) along with green and red

inks.

I just stamped and masked off my flowers in

the corners, added leaves and the berry background

and coloured up with my markers.

The sentiment just about fitted my gap lol.

I matted it onto my red card base.

I started with a piece of white card,

stamped the tree branches in versamark ink,

(Peaceful Boughs stamp set),

embossed them with white embossing powder to which

I added some silver glitter.

I then inked up the background, stamped my quote/saying

and finished with a silver die cut greeting.

It was all backed on to silver card and finished

with a little paper bow.

I will be round to you soon!!

Peaceful Boughs Christmas star

My tiny little tree needed a new decoration.

Last year I made a little angel so this year I thought

I would do a star.

I used a piece of copy paper measuring

5" x 5".

I followed a YouTube tutorial for the fold.

When cut, I opened up and stamped the gorgeous

verse from Peaceful Boughs in Crumb Cake ink.

I then added some glue to the prominent lines

and sprinkled with some very light glitter.

The folds were all re-scored

before I added a little paper loop on the back

so I could add to the tree!

Pretty sweet sitting on my tree and has a

vintage feel to it.

I am entering this into

I'll be back tomorrow with one last tutorial

and on Thursday I have a few scrapbook pages

to share then I will put my feet up!

Split front panel card

 My video tutorial over in my VIP Group is called a

Split Front Panel Card.

I saw a card on Pinterest by the lovely Tina Shaw so decided to give it a go.

I have used scraps of my well depleted stock of Brightly Gleaming papers.

This is another much needed Christmas card for my small pile!

I have used two stamp sets - 

Poinsettia Petals and Peaceful Boughs

along with some gold embossing powder and

gold foil sheets.

This is how I finished the inside of the card.

Gold embossed poinsettia and sentiment.

Lock down has started here, not that it will make

any difference to me as I tend to not go near the shops

if I can help it. Stay safe out there

and three cheers for all our delivery people!!

Texture at Tag Tuesday

 

It's the second week of our challenge over at

Tag Tuesday

where Wendy has challenged us to use

TEXTURE!

I saw a gorgeous tree over on Pinterest and it

inspired me to have a go on my tag.

I have inked up the base then cut some paper the same size,

sprayed with water and crinkled up and then dried.

I added it to my tag and stamped some wording down

either side.

I then made the tree by rolling scraps of paper and dipping

the ends in ink.

I added some gesso and white shimmer paint and even some thin

bits of sparkly stuff I found in my drawer.

It was a bugger trying to get them to stick though lol.

I finished off with some fake snow

then sprayed the whole tag with sparkle sealant.

The star is front my stash, I used seam binding for the top

and stamped and inked the sentiment.

Halloween at Tag Tuesday

 

The challenge over at

Tag Tuesday

has the theme HALLOWEEN

chosen by the lovely Michele

For my tag I started with some old olive card

and stamped it with the web stamp.

I then inked up the edges and added some

branches coming down from the top.

The spider was hand drawn (obviously lol), not my forte!

I stamped the cat from a lovely stamp and die set

I won with one of my cards recently. It's a Tim Holtz set.

I coloured him up orange and black.

He looks totally scared of that spider lol.

I finished off with the little bat and BOO wording

and a bit of linen string for the top.

I hope you get time to join the fun this month!

Book Print at Tag Tuesday

The theme over at Tag Tuesday this week

was chosen by the lovely

 Sandie.

She wants us to use some book print.

I have gone with an old dictionary page,

using the page that had Christmas on it,

and turned it into a Christmas tag.

I do love working with book print but I am

completely out of practise!!

I would like to enter these into

Tag Tuesday - use book print
