Less Is More - Silver

Good morning!

Oh my goodness! I am sat here listening to Lady Antebellum on Key 103...never would have thought it! Awesome! :))

Anyway, back to the real reason I'm here! This morning at Less Is More, Chrissie and Mandi have set us a lovely colour challenge...

SILVER

Very seasonal, don't you think? Well I did...

The stamp is Stampin' Up! Something For Christmas, stamped with Tempting Turquoise and FlitterGlu. I then sprinkled silver glitter over the baubles, and voila! I have to tell you...this FlitterGlu is AMAZING stuff! When it's dry, the glitter actually stays on the card! I finished with 3 gems, for sparkle and bling!

Challenges

Simon Says Stamp - Glimmer & Sparkle

Charisma Cardz - Bada Bing

Right I have a market to get to now...Bolton Fm will be there apparently so my mission is to get them to play Lady A too! ;)

Mini Christmas cards

Yup...me again!

I have been having a play with a new SU! stamp I got from the retiring ones, and this one is Something For Christmas, stamped and embossed with WOW Amber Rose EP. The card is shimmer card from Anna Marie Designs. I love their card!

I have made four for now, and I plan to give them to my work colleagues this year. I may make some more to sell...I'll see!

More packs of Christmas cards!

Hey there! 

I hope this miserable weather isn't dampening the spirits too much. I don't think it has stopped raining for 2 days here lol! 

On the upside, rainy weather means more crafting time! :) Last night I got to making some more packs of Christmas cards...2 packs the same actually...

I have made these using the fab sketch over at Retro Sketches this week, which I think is a the perfect sketch for batch cards. The stamp was in the 99p bin at Hobbycraft and I have stamped with Emboss ink and embossed with Amber Rose and Seafoam White WOW embossing powders. I mixed a little glitter into the white one before embossing for a little Christmas sparkle. The red ribbon is Club Green and the white is just from my stash. All the card is from Anna Marie Designs.

I've made 12 of these cards, 6 of each so I plan to make 2 mixed packs of 6 to sell at my craft fairs this year.

First 5 pack Of Christmas Cards for 2012

Good morning!

Well I am back feeling very refreshed and ready to get on with crafting for my market after a fantastic weekend visiting very good friends in Holland! It was such a brilliant weekend, and I finally got chance to go inside a real, old fashioned, working windmill...something I have wanted to do for a long time!

Anyway, after dropping Keiran at school this morning, I came back and got straight into the craft room! Christmas cards were on the agenda this morning, and here is what I have made...

I have used Papermania Joyeux Noel papers, Marianne dies and some scrap ribbon from inside the shoulder of a shirt. 

 I am trying to come up with some designs for packs of cards, and so here is one pack of 5.

I quite like the simplicity of the cards, and they didn't take too long to make, once everything was prepared, so I might make a few packs in different colours and papers. It's a great way to use up some of the tonnes of DP I have lying around too!!
