Teal and Silver Christmas Card

I am really loving this colour combination and couldn't wait to use the Memory Box Hanging Ornaments. Thanks for stopping by! 

Til next time ☺

Glorious Butterflies

Loving the Dylusions ink sprays and instead of using just plain water to watch the colours blend I used Tattered Angels Glimmermist in Pearl which really was the " pop" factor! The butterflies I stamped, colored with distress ink and a water brush and fussy cut. The white swirls were heat embossed using white embossing powder.

Couture Creations papers

I couldn't wait to rip into my new paper pad by Couture Creations Vintage Rose Garden.  48 double sided pages of yumminess!

Floral card

I have finally found the marvel of a hot glue gun. It makes attaching lots of big flowers a breeze!

Poinsetta Christmas Card

I have to admit when it comes to Christmas Cards I  do tend to lean more to traditional colours but this year I   have seen a few lovely Teal and Silver combinations going around. I was keen to have a go with my new  Memory Box Poinsettia Die and fresh from a class using plain old alfoil embossed as a background.  It is a really easy technique, just gluing some alfiol to a piece of cardstock ( no need to remove all of the crinkles) just to givevit a little more stabilityand running it through an embossing folder of your choice. I think even using the less shiny side of the alfoil would take on another great look. I also stamped the darker teal with white ink and heat embossed the little snowflakes.

Now I  am keen to make anotherfew designs in teal and silver. Craft emergency, I have run out of the Coredinations Aquarium and am now housebound and unable to drive. I wonder if my mother will be good enough to pick some up for me :)

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas wreath card

I love justa bitta glitter!

40th Birthday Cassette card

So as promised here is the card I made for my friend. I did a google search to see what compilation albums were released in 1974 just for a little more authenticity. I love the screwhead brads I always keep on hand as I find they are a really good touch for masculine cards.

Hexagons for Birthday Cards

Some days I seem to take forever to put somehing together and this hexagonal card was that day. The second I finished it I realized that the friend I had made this card for  was turning 40 and this card just wouldn't cut the mustard. Strangely the card I replaced it came together really quickly. Ha! I will be sure to put the replacement up after the Birthday Boy receives it :)

This card I used 2 new embossing folders that I purchased a few days earlier. I always want to race home and use my new finds straight away so I was even more happy when I could combine 2 new folders.

I am really fascinated with inking techniques at the moment so playing with different colours has been fun.

Christmas Present Card

Time to get a move on and get some Christmas Cards together.  I absolutely love making Christmas cards. All that glitzy sparkly stuff that I really love and I know that my friends and family love receiving them too. Thanks for stopping by.
