Delicate Twining Asters


Hello, today I have an "inky" Anniversary card using one of the new Heartfelt Creations stamps available at J&C Creations called Delicate Twining Asters (HCPC 3496).

I have used just 2 Distress Inks to colour the image and the stencilled background - iced spruce and seedless preserves.

One Scoop!


Hello, today I have a card I designed for J&C Creations.  The stamp is a Penny Black wooden stamp called One Scoop!

The backing paper is Echo Park Very Merry Christmas.  The Poinsettia is LR0121 and the doily is Winter Birds - LR0186 both Marianne Creatables dies. I have used glitter and Frant-age Shaved Ice for the snow.

The sentiment is from the Penny Black Slapstick stamp - Carolling Penguins and I have used a snowflake punch.

All the items in red are available on the J&C Creations website.

Dainty Dancing


Hello, today my card is a quick one using one of the die cuts from the newest release from LOTV Mini Masterpieces and this is on Sheet 22.  The name is from the rubber stamp they sell with the same image.

Christmas Tag


Hello, today I have posted a tag I made for J&C Creations showcasing Tim Holtz products.  I have used Bigz Alterations Tag & Bookplate and Holly Branch dies with some recycled christmas decoration berries, some tinsel and sparkly ribbon.  

The bookplate has been embossed with metallic powder and the letters are Alphaparts.  The background was coloured with distressed inks and I went over them with the new Distress Stain Brushed Pewter.

Tranquil Scene


Hello, today I am showing the card I made for my dear friend's birthday.  I experimented with a sentiment but wherever I placed it it spoilt the design so I put it inside instead.

The beautiful paper is printed from a CD by Artylicious called Essence of Nature and I love the colours but I think they look better in real life.  The stamp is by Clarity.
