Holly & Berries Spray

Hello, today I have a Christmas card using the Christmas Holly & Berries Spray stamp by Jayne Nestorenko and I coloured the image with Promarkers.  

The wreath is cut from green card using a Dees Distinctively Die.  

Looking at it now, I think I used too much glitter on the berries!  Oh well it cannot be removed now without scratching the card so I will have to live with it.

Posy Bouquet

Hello, today I have another card I designed for J&C Creations using the Heartfelt Creations Lilacs/Posy Bouquet stamp set (HCPC3495) and Posy Patch Clusters (HCPC3305) from the Posy Patch collection.

I used Copic Ciao's to colour the image on coconut card and the separately cut out flowers which were stamped onto paper and shaped before attaching to the image. 

The coconut card was die cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Eight (S5-019) before stamping.  The background mat was die cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities Decorative Elements Labels Eight (S5-148) from holographic silver card.

The black card is Core'dinations Black Magic Potion No 9 and lightly sanded after embossing with a floral folder.

Destinationsz

Hello, today I have a quick birthday card I made on the spur of the moment using Tim Holtz idea-ology Destinations.  

I have used the postage stamp nestabilities to die cut sections from the paper.

Flora Grande

Hello, I have another card I designed for J&C Creations using Heartfelt Creations Flora Grande 2 stamp set.

Using the smallest flower stamp 5 flowers onto yellow pearl paper using a Memento Cantaloupe dye ink pad and cut out.  Go over the lines with a Promarker Sunflower pen to define the petals better.

Die cut a lattice using the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Expandable Patterns Basic Lattice die (S5-151) from brown pearl card to resemble a wooden trellis.

Die cut some of the foliage from Spellbinders Shapeabilities Foliage Two (S5-129) and arrange these and the flowers on the "trellis".  I used Stickles Glitter Glue in Orange Peel for the flower centres.

All the items in red are available from J&C Creations on-line shop.

The background paper is from a First Edition Hideaway pad.

Tattered Flowers

Hello, today I have a card I designed for J&C Creations.  I have used one of the Heartfelt Creations Tattered Blossoms Swirls stamps and coloured the image with Promarkers.

The die is Spellbinders Floral Ovals and the mauve crepe paper flowers were cut with the Heartfelt Creations Tattered Blossoms die.  The leaves are cut with Spellbinders Foliage Two from green Core'dinations card.

The backing paper is from a First Edition Dreamcatcher pad matted onto mauve Core'dinations card.

Ruby Anniversary

Hello, today I am showing the card I made for my dear friend's Ruby Wedding Anniversary today - not that the colour gives it away!  I hope it is safe to post it now as they rise very early in the morning and will be preparing for loads of guests arriving later.

The fronds are a new Magnolia DooHickey die called Sprawling Ferns but to me they look a bit like feathers.

Distressed Birthday

Hello, today I have a birthday card using Fishtail dies and Core'dinations card.  I have distressed all the turquoise card.  I am not sure now about the colour of the raffia though.

Gold Tatters

Hello, today I am posting another card created for J&C Creations (phone 01622 729154 to check for availability of the items I have used).  

The backing paper is Script Pointsettia by Penny Black on cream card.

The white pearl card is embossed with a snowflake embossing folder and inked over with a glue pad so the raised parts are sticky and then sprinkled with gold glitter.

The snowflakes are cut from gold mirror card using Spellbinders Shapeabilities 2012 Snowflake Pendant (S5-117).  I have used the middle die and the small die together top right of the card and the largest die is under the flower which is die cut using a Sizzix Bigz die - Tim Holtz Alterations Tattered Florals.

I cut the first flower using red mirror card and the second using gold laced material.  To assemble, match the material die cut onto the mirror card die cut and then glue them together.

The sentiment is from Tim Holtz idea-ology Seasonal chitchat stickers.
