Christmas At Last!

Like most of you, I've been working on making Christmas cards lately and today I've finally got one to show you.  Apologies for the shocking photograph - the colours have just not come out well.  In real-life the card base is a beautiful plum shade - guess you'll need to use your imagination on that one!

This bauble stamp is one of the first that I ever bought and it's still one of my favourites for Christmas.  The baubles are clear embossed and are strung on some silver embroidery thread which is attached on the back of the card.  I also popped up the baubles on foam dots for a bit of depth.

I've plenty more Christmas cards to share with you so watch this space!  Hopefully the photography will be better next time around...




Thanks so much for stopping by.

Easter in December??

Okay, so even though it's December and I should right now be posting Christmas-type creations, I've got some Easter gifts to show you...Earlier this year I made these little Easter gifts for my family, and filled the containers with foil-wrapped chocolate eggs.

The little containers came from my local craft store and I covered them with patterned papers stuck down with PVA glue.  I tried a few different adhesives, trying to avoid the bubbly texture that can come with liquid glues, but in the end PVA really was the best one for the job!

The image for the tags is just a clipart pic from my computer that I coloured in with pencils as I don't have any Easter stamps in my stash.

These little gifts were so fun to make! 



Christmas stuff coming soon... I promise ;)

More of the blues

Hi folks, one of my favourite blogs is Karen Giron's The Sweetest Thing.  Each Sunday Karen produces a sketch and I love filing these away for when I'm needing a little inspiration!  Earlier this year I made this card based on an old Sweet Sunday Sketch of Karen's from February 2009, which you can find on this post here. 

I love the simplicity of this sketch, it will be one I go back to time and time again!
I stuck mainly with blues for this card so that the little yellow punched flower really jumps out. 

Thank you for visiting
