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.

Happy Birthday Butterfly Window Card

This card was handstamped using Craft Creations E17 Butterfly, Kaiser Flourishes and Stamp-it 552D Happy Birthday stamps.

• Cut 2 pieces of acetate 8cm square and stamp the butterfly onto the centre of each using a Black Staz-on Ink Pad.


• Stick one of the acetate butterflies over the window of the 14cm square white window card. Cut out the other butterfly image.


• Stamp and emboss with white ink and white embossing powder the flourish on the top left corner of a Bright blue overlay window.


• Using double sided tape, stick on a pretty blue ribbon vertically along the left side of the overlay and also horizontally along the bottom of the blue overlay. Fold over the edge of the overlay for a neat finish. Refer to the pics for placement.


• Centre a flower brad where the two ribbons cross.


• Stamp and emboss Happy Birthday with black ink and clear embossing powder onto a scrap of YES card. Trim and colour the edge with a matching blue marker. Secure to the blue overlay with double sided tape.


• Centre the blue overlay on the front of the 14cm square white window card and stick in place with double sided tape.


• Take the cut out acetate butterfly you put aside earlier and fold at the body. Stick the fold line to the body of other butterfly in the window with 3mm double sided tape.


• Add an insert to the card and you are done.
