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.

Simply Stamped Wedding card

Good evening!

I opened my laptop to reply to an email tonight, and a sketch from Simply Stamping Challenges popped up at me...I'd had the page open thinking 'I really must get around to making a card for that as I love the sketch'! So here it is :)

I borrowed this Stampin' Up! set from Jen at the weekend...it's called Love & Laughter. I stamped the cake with Emboss clear, then embossed with Seafoam WOW EP. The border punch is Woodware Lever Ribbon Heart and the sentiment is from the same stamp set. I finished with a few gems from my stash. I think this sketch really lent itself well to this card design!

A Baby Girl's Pram

Here is a little something I started working on at Jen's on Saturday, and I've finally got around to finishing it! I first saw this gorgeous pram on Julie's blog and she had the link to the template and tutorial over on Katie's Blog. I fell in love and just had to have a go!

All the papers are Pink Petticoat, the sentiments are Lili of The Valley, stamped and heat embossed with Sea Foam WOW EP, and the butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch.

Less Is More - Something Shiny!

Good morning LIMettes!

Oh and congrats to our English football team last night! I really thought we had lost it but they came back fighting! :))

Ok so here is my card for Less Is More this week...

SOMETHING SHINY!

The tag is from Stampin Up! from the Happiest Birthday Wishes Hostess set, and I have stamped with Emboss clear and embossed with WOW Amber Rose. The rest is just from my stash :)

2nd Anniversary Commission card

Good evening everyone :)

Well hasn't it been a glorious few days?! Unfortunately, it's about to end...just as well I managed to get everything done in the garden! So I will have a little more time to craft next week, I hope!

Anyway, I got another commission for an anniversary card and here it is...

The paper in the background is Pink Petticoat, the sentiment is computer printed and the stamped flowers are Stampin Up! from the recent wedding collection. I embossed them with WOW Amber Rose EP for a bit of colour. The ribbon and pearls are from my stash. I also embossed the middle panel with a hearts embossing folder and I distressed the edges of each panel with my new Tim Holz distressing tool! :)

I have used alot of inspiration from this week's challenge at Less is More, which is to combine 3 of their previous challenge on one card. So I chose

Week 1 - Pink, Black & White (I hadn't found the blog yet so never entered this challenge!)

Week 2 - Flower or tree

Week 15 - Embossing (both heat and dry this time)

Week 58 - Script
