closing blog

I have decided to combine my two blogs - this one here with my main craft blog. I will close this blog in a few weeks and will just post on my main blog. You can visit it here

Merry Christmas Card

I just love this Penny Black set of Christmas stamps - the wonder. You can purchase the set here at my store. I embossed and coloured one of the images from this cute set on this card. I used my tombow pens and prismacolor pencils to colour. I then used a Stamp-it stamp 2147D Hip Christmas for the greeting and finished it all off with some festive metallic ribbon and a gold star brad.

Penny Black Christmas Card

The stamps used in this card are from the Penny Black transparent stamp set: the wonder... available here on my website. I just love this collection of stamps. Cute and versatile. I stamped the sentiment with Distress Ink - Peeled Paint and the little mice in the stocking with a jet black ink and then embossed it.

I coloured this image with prismacolor pencils and tombow pens and finished it all off with some kindy glitz glitter on the branch.

I really like the colours in this card - pink and green bazzil card and a matching green stitched ribbon and pink star brad.

Paperkins

Just listed some cute paper piecing paperkins dolls from EK Success at my store - warmheart craft. They are not in production any longer so I will not be restocking these. They are quite rare and are collectables. They are acid and lignin free so make great scrapbooking embellishments. Check them out in my papercrafts section of the store.

Baby Shower Card

This pretty card is for a baby shower - the whole image is one stamp from SonLight Impressions - G8 1029.P2 coloured with tombow and copic pens and highlighted with Kindy Glitz. I stamped the image twice and cut out some of the smaller pictures to raise with mounting tape. It has been made on a large 14cm square lime base card and matted with a darker green card. I also used the darker green card on the side to make a rectangle base for the yellow satin ribbon.

You can purchase this card from my store.

Colouring Video

Hero Arts posted this great video tutorial on colouring.

Twins Birthday Cards

These are the cards I made for the twin's birthday. Stamped with Craft Creations Happy Birthday stamp. The background paper is from Me & My Big Ideas - Live Creatively range. I embossed the large monogram letters with the circle embossing folder from Cuttlebug. I used a circle theme on these cards with the choice of background paper, the little circle photo and the circle embossing folder.
