Christmas Cards

Dasher stamped in Early Espresso with Cherry Cobbler glitter on the antlers.  The very vanilla cardstock was run through the bigshot with Early Espresso ink on the Very Vintage Embossing folder - I LOVE this effect. The striped Cherry Cobbler ribbon was last years grosgrains stock and because it was too wide I have cut it in half and sealed the edges with the flame from a cigarette lighter( Thanks to Teniel Williams for this tip) The French Script Background Stamp was my first ever Stampin" Up! purchase - the beginning of a long love affair- fitting that it's French!!

This is the design I have used for all my Christmas Cards this year - just posted the last ones today - must have made about 60 of this design. The base card is Naturals White, and the sentiment is heat embossed with White Powder onto Crumb Cake. the Concentric rings stamp is from a Thenkyou set which is VERY old - but still fabulous, and I have stamped over this with the ink spots stamp from Gorgeous Grunge, using Garden Green ink. In the other versions of this card I used the leaf stamp from the Sale-a-bration Bloomin' Marvellous set from this year. Linen Thread for the bow secured with glue dots, and the small star is a retired SU punch, the star has some gloss white ink smudged over its surface. This card has pearls but I also did some with Red Diamontes - cute-, and some with just silver diamonds which look great.
Thanks for looking, hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Liz

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car...

Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu...

500 challenges at CASEing the Catty ' - how fantastic to be involved

What an honour to be invited back to join with the Caseing the Catty team for their 500th challenge! Thankyou Bec for thinking of me. I started with the CTC crew way back at the beginning and I still go to the catalogue as a ready reference for creative ideas. The earliest post I can find is 2014 - CTC#3! 10 years of crafting along, that's pretty amazing. For this challenge it was completely open to choose any project to  CASE from either the annual or the Christmas mini catalogue. There are lots of projects in there that spark a creative journey for me and I did have a hard time choosing. In the end I opted for something simple since none of us have much free time at this hectic time of year. To make things a tad more difficult I have covid so feeling pretty low on energy. Lucky that crafting is a relaxing pastime and I can sit at my craft desk without be scolded too much by my loving DH that I need to be resting! For my projects I have created a Christmas Card and a matching Gift...
