Christmas table set

I've been playing again and have come up with these little things for my Christmas table this year.This is the cuttlery holder closer up

And the place card
And the wine glass sleeve

And finally the Christmas tree decoration

All the products I have used are from Stampin' Up
The papers are from the Jolly Holidays collection, the stamps I have used are from the Welcome Christmas and Four Frames sets. All images are stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and the card stock is Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla.
I have also used the extra large scalloped circle punch, between the layers of the tree and the decorative label punch. The ribbon is the 3.2cm wide Old Olive striped grosgrain ribbon.

Yet more Stampin' Up cards

I've been playing with my Stampin' Up stamps again, this time using Welcome Christmas and Lovely As a Tree, and these are the cards:

The design of the first card was "borrowed" from Jules

I've stamped all the images in Basic Black and used some glitter on the trees.

More Stampin Up cards

I've made 5 of each of these designs using the Welcome Christmas stamp set and the Perfect Punch stamp set and coordinating punches.

The images are stamped in Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler ink.

And a third post!

Again I have used Stampin Up products. This time the Greenhouse Garden set.
The images are all stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and the papers I have used are Stampin Up's Jolly Holiday papers. The sentiments on the first and third cards are from Stampin Up's Perfect Punches stamp set, and I have used the coordinating punches.

The sentiment on this last card is from Stampin Up's Punch Bunch stamp set, again using the coordinating punch.

And that is it for today. And I really will try to keep my blog updated from now!

Another post using Stampin Up products

This time I've done a set of cards using the Motorcycle stamp.
The image on this card is stamped using the Stampin Up crumb cake ink pad, the paper is from a My Craft Studio CD and the sentiment is from Stampin Up's oval all stamp set.

The image is again stamped with crumb cake. And the paper and buttons are from my stash.
Again, this image is stamped with crumb cake. I've got the row of bikes by masking the image and overstamping and I'm quite pleased with the result!
This time the image is stamped with basic black and again I have masked it, but this time I have cut the image into 3 pieces which is popular with wall art at the moment so I thought I'd try it on a card!

Stampin up owl punch card

I know it's been a while and I have been nagged at for not blogging lately. I know I must get back into it, so here goes.

I've made this card using the Stampin Up Owl punch for a girl who goes to the same Stampin Up group as I go to. We've used this owl punch loads and loads and we're still finding new ideas for it. I think it must be the most used Stampin Up product of all time!

Jewelery pressies

Two posts in two days!!!!

I've made these sets as a pressie for my friend who lives in Spain who I will be visiting in a few weeks time.

I bought most of the beads I have used on my last visit to Spain in January, so it seemed fitting to use these beads to make my friend a gift!

Lazy blogger!

I can't believe it's been 3 months since I uploaded anything in here! What a lazy sod I am! I think it's because I haven't really had the time to enter any blog challenges!

Since I last posted I have started doing my own craft classes and have 3 lovely ladies and a young lad that come. They are all new to crafting so I've been doing really simple stamping and matting and layering with them. Tonight I'm taking them on a level into colouring images in. I'm going to show them how to use water colour pencils and Whispers Strokes pens.

These are the cards we're going to be doing tonight:

The stamps I have used are from a Kanban set that was a TSV on QVC a while back.

I've also recently done some wedding invites for one of my mums friends son, and here they are:

And the biggest news is that I was asked to do some samples for Create and Craft TV! How lucky am I! My first cards were shown on air in January, and I have just finished doing some more for a new product that is going to air next Wednesday, so you'll have to come back then to see what I have done!

See you soon

Christmas easel card

One of my mums clients mum (my mum is a carer) had been looking for a card for her daughter who suffers from MS and was telling my mum she couldn't find anything suitable anywhere, so of course my mum said "my Daughter can do you what you want". And this is the card:

I do hope she likes it! The lady wrote the verse herself which is very moving indeed.

The image is one that was sent to me by a friend before I started getting into Tilda, isn't it cute! It is coloured with ProMarkers. The textured card and papers are from DCWV, as is the message sticker. I have used a Martha Stewart punch around the page set, and the ribbon and flowers are from my stash. I wasn't sure about putting flowers on a Christmas card but I think it look ok. What do you think?
