Christmas with Lavinia Stamps

A simple card with inking and scoring adding the detail. I stamped the three trees and star first and then using a mask added the hill details. Used glue pen and Diamond snow to add the snow and border within the smaller frame. I used a gold pen on one of the outer frames then then the glue pen again with the snow

Another Workshop card


Here's another card from Eileen's Workshop- slowly but surely  I am working my way through all the topper's we made last weekend! Then I think I am nearly done for Christmas this year

 
 
 
An easy card just stamp and Bling!! Someone ( think it was Bali) suggested using a peel off for the chain. Think it worked well. I knew if I hung onto them for long enough they'd have a use...

Crealies Guest Designer Card



I made a card base from the outer circle of the Modern Patchwork Set No 1.
I cut elements for the card as shown in the pictures to help.  Adhere the the embossed sections. I used 3 layers for each segment. Position as shown. Die cut the flowers inking through with the colour of your choice. I used Distress Ink Bundles Sage. I used wet adhesive to extend the length of the circles and placed as shown in the picture. Lastly I mounted the flowers as shown.

For the  Patchwork card.. I used the following Crealies products:
Crealies Set of 3 dies no 23
Crealies Duo Dies no 23
Crealies Decorette Die no 11
Crealies Modern Patchwork  Die Set no 1
My own embossing folder and glitter glue








Guest Designer Card for Crealies

My second Card for Crealies

For this card I masked off the mat to leave a wavy section to ink. I used Bundled Sage, Worn Lipstick, and Broken China, blending across the colours. I used a black fine liner around using a faux stitch.
I stamped the foliage directly onto the card. I made up 8 Flowers inking them with the same colours as the border and adhered as shown. I added Pearls at the corners to finish. I layered this onto silver mirror card and then onto the card blank as shown
For my second card I used the following Crealies products
Crealies Bits and Pieces no 28
Crealies Set of 3 dies no 17
Distress Inks
