christmas card class

This was christmas card class number 2 . I know I have been neglecting my blog for a wee while but I had mislaid my connection cable for my camera and then when it did turn up , I had just got out of the habit of blogging !! Apologies to all !! To be honest I love crafting but am really not so keen on the computer side of things and I really need to make a conscious effort to record all my creations . The good news , is that , I have photographed whatever I have made and I promise to let you see them . Anyway I hope you like these christmas cards in Marina mist , it made a nice change from the traditional colours of green and red .

Cottage Garden Thankyou

I made this quick thank you card using the Baby Blossoms stamp set along with the Cottage Garden DSP . The "Thank you " is from the Because I Care stamp set . I stamped the images on Very Vanilla card and then mounted that onto Crumb Cake card stock . I also stamped the flower image on the bottom right hand corner inside .

Another Birthday !

I made this matching card and gift box for another friend's birthday this week . I thought I would use the Blushing bride colour as it matched her gift which fitted perfectly in the gift box . I thought I would use this week's Mojo Monday template for her card . The matching DSP is from the hostess Level one gifts and I made the flowers from the Bigz Dies Flower,Daisies .I used Certainly celery to add a different colour but I love the Blushing Bride and Whisper White combination . I hope you like ! !

Because I care

I used this stamp set for a friend's birthday card at the weekend . She likes the colour duck egg blue so I used Baja Breeze for the base card . I coloured the flower with Baja Breeze and Wild Wasabi pens and then stamped it on Very Vanilla card .The sentiment is from the Level 2 hostess set Something to Celebrate which is in the Mini Catalogue .

Christmas Card Class

I held my first card class last night. This is my table before the ladies arrived - all neat and tidy !


And this is what they made !!We used the Welcome Christmas stamp set and the packs included two of each card , so they ladies went home with their first eight christmas cards . One lady even went as far as to sign it and address all ready for the 1st December ! I wonder will she remember where she has put it !!
If you would like to book a place at the next christmas card class , it is on 25th August 7pm - 9.30pm , then please email me at gina8210@btinternet.com .

Make a Monster

I made this card for a very special wee boy - Harry who is 6 tomorrow ! A monster for a little monster!! This stamp set is fun to play with as you have a selection of eyes , mouths and hair to make your little monsters with . I used the Celebrations DSP because of the bold primary colours .I coloured the monsters in using Blender Pens as this gives a softer touch . The sentiment comes from the Curly Cute stamp set . Happy Birthday Harry !!

Kimono Kids

As you know for a while I was not very good at posting cards onto my blog ! But believe me it wasn't for the fact that I wasn't making cards - I just didn't make time to post ! I made this card for my daughter's birthday back in June . She loves this stamp set and I knew she would be pleased if I made her a card with it . The stamps in the set fitted very well for this side step card .The base card is Baja Breeze and I layered it up with Daffodil Yellow and Melon Mambo . I then coloured in using the same colours with the pens .
