Christmas with Lavinia Stamps

Christmas with Lavinia

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

eileenscraftyzone.blogspot.com

 

 

 

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...

Chocolate Baroque Challenge 16 Card #2

Awesome Orchids for my Second Challenge card

This is my second card for the current Chocolate Baroque Challenge. I used distress inks to paint the image and made a computer generated sentiment onto the topper.

I embossed a double frame from the inside of the card to give a raised effect. Tonic die for the coloured mat.

Crealies Guest Designer Card

Guest Designer Card for Crealies

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

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
