Magical Christmas

Made this card using the Berry Wreath from Dreamees and a selection of Dreamees papers. I layered them all up and included a little doily then added lots of flowers and some buttons for extra detail.

I finished it off by adding glitter glue for a bit of sparkle xx 

Hope you like. Comments appreciated

Steam Punk 2

Another go at a Steam Punk Card.

 

I embossed a piece of grey card using a Darice embossing folder and my Spellbinder Grand Caliber and did the same with a piece of gold mirror card so that I had the cogs.

 

I stamped a pocket watch and compass using my Dreamees stamps and distressed them in Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.

 

To make the card up, I started off with a brown background and layered the two embossed pieces at angles with a piece of lace which I had purchased from Dreamees a little while ago in between and a Tim Holtz tag through which I tied a small piece of velvet ribbon. I slotted the watch and the compass behind the card.

 

The mannequin is from a die cut set Delphine Card Toppers by Kanban which I purchased from the Craftstation in Kirkby in Ashfield.

 

I'm really quite pleased with the result. Thanks for calling by, please feel free to comment.

Steam Punk

 

Love this Kenny Kiernan image "Lady Victoria" and decided to have a go at a Steam Punk card.

The card itself is just short of 6" square. I then used a Darice embossing folder to create the cogs on the dark grey piece of card and layered both it and a piece of lilac corrugated card at angles. Using the embossing folder I created some white cogs, I cut them out and distressed them with spun sugar distress ink.

I coloured the image with Spectrum Noir pens PP1 and LV1 for the dress and cape and used BGR2 for the boots and cane. I added a Tim Holtz tag which I'd purchased from one of my favourite suppliers Dreamees to finish the card off.

Christmas

Been missing for a little while again, trying to organise my craft room so it works better, especially as it doubles up from time to time as a massage room... :-)

I decided I needed to make a start on my Christmas cards and here are a couple. 

They were both made layering some gold mirror card, green checked and plain green paper and red glitter card I had in stock with the addition of a doily and some crispy lace ribbon from Dreamees. The centre pieces, the Recipe of Christmas and the Berry Wreath are Dreamees stamps too.

I'm really happy with the way these two turned out plenty on them but still look quite simple and elegant.

Teal n Pink

Beautiful little notebook. Created for the sister of a friend.

Layered in teal and pink using an image from card making magazine which my friend chose from a selection I had. 

I attached a piece of broderie anglais ribbon round one of the layers and added a couple of flowers from a Dreamees cd (Templates and More I think) and some handmade roses both rolled and petalled! X 

I am told her sister loved it which is what I like to hear xx

Thanks for calling by.  x

Pearl Anniversary Card

This card was for a pearl anniversary card a work colleague asked me to make after she'd seen another one I'd made but she specifically requested peach not pink.

The papers were printed from Dreamees CDs as were the flowers. I think Simply Sweet. 

I decorated the inside too using the same papers and a verse chosen from a selection by the purchaser. 

I used liquid pearls in the centre of the flowers. 

All in all very happy with the result x

Starla

Hello folks

Been a good few weeks since I popped in. Been rather busy, have had a few commissions to do and haven't watermarked my photos yet.  I would love to just load straight up to my blog or my facebook page but unfortunately there are people out there that like to claim your work as their own and I prefer to have my watermark on my work when possible.

I've had father's day cards which I made but forgot to photograph before. I made a beautiful simple peacock card using a free embossing folder that came with a magazine and forgot to photograh that too.... Shame it was lovely. I gave that to our receptionist at work for her birthday.

I've made a mini display cupboard using an idea from Dreamees, a Graze box and their Templates & More cd which I think looks brilliant (even if I do say so myself).  In fact here's the photo for that one...

 The image on here is Starla from Krista at Saturated Canary (as you will know by now one of my favourite ladies).

The paper and the flowers and everything else on the front here are from the Dreamees cd.

I decided as I had a lock on the front I should also have the hole on the inside and the key (also Dreamees)

The inside here I've filled with a variety of bits and pieces. Top left October Calendar (with my birthday highlighted) from Dreamees, a few little hearts and a glass vial full of fairy dust, I believe Dreamees also sell empty vials ready for you to fill as you wish.

Top right a few flowers from my stash and "kiss the stars" from Regan Kubecek available from Queen Kats Stamps another of my favourite ladies.

Bottom left (more flowers from my stash) a wee bicycle, a butterfly and "Bianca Bouquet" from the Gorgeous Girls cd from Dreamees.

Bottom right all Dreamees except my flowers again. You may notice a few pearls dotted about all over the place, these are liquid pearls also available from Dreamees. (I think I should get commission here....lol) xx

I love it! Thanks Hayley for the idea.  I'm entering this one into the Inky Chicks Anything Goes Challenge x






I also made a batch of what I class my simple cards (basic matt & layering) to restock for a charity event this coming Sunday afternoon.


I've also got a moneybox and couple of hangers required so I'll be cracking on with those between now and then.
