QUICK BIRTHDAY CARD

Morning All,

A quick card here using some more of my Stampin Up specialty paper layered onto a piece of lilac paper, my favourite colour, and with enamel dots and sparkly gems added.   The paper does have a slight pattern to it, but not visible very well in the photo.

The sentiment has been stamped and heat embossed in silver.

I know the popularity of blogging has decreased to what it was a few years ago so I would like to thank my faithful followers and all those who comment on my cards and I wish you all a Happy New Year.

RESCUED CARD

 Hello Everyone,

I hope you've all had a good Christmas. I think we'll be taking our tree etc. down at the weekend.  Once it's gone everywhere looks a lot tidier and it's nice to get back to normal.

Yesterday I thought I would have a play with my postage collage die again and decided to root out some of the small stamps on my penny black sets.  After I'd chosen which ones to play with I started to colour with copics then had a bit of a disaster by way of an ink blob on one of the stamps.

I have managed to rescue this sort of thing before, but it was too dark to cover this time so I had to cut the die up and this is what I ended up with.

It's a small card, just over 4.5 inches, but I couldn't throw it away and the good thing about the die is that it can be cut to make individual stamps or not.

CORBEL TREE

Morning Everyone,

I hope you are all sorted for Christmas. This is a simple card made with a tree die from Simon Says Stamp

called Corbel Tree Collage.

I have used hammered cardstock and surrounded the die with a Spellbinders frame from their Venise Lace set.  I have added a snippet of green grungy paper underneath from Craft Consortium and a silver heat embossed sentiment cut with a stitched rectangle die.

ANYTHING GOES AT AYLI

Morning Everyone,

We have our final challenge of the year starting over at As You Like It and it is a nice and easy theme of Anything Goes.

For my card I have had a play with a recent birthday present, the Waffle Flower postage collage.  I made a mess on one of the stamps when stencilling so decided to cut them up and use only 3. It is a small A6 card so the other 2 usuable ones will have to go on another future project.

The sponsor for the challenge is

with a prize for the lucky winner

We will be having a short break over the Christmas period and will be back on 11th January so I hope you will be able to join us for the final one of 2023.

CUTE & CUDDLY CHRISTMAS

 Morning Everyone,

I hope you are all well.  It is the start of the last challenge of the year over at the Cutie Pie challenge and the theme is "Cute & Cuddly Christmas".

I have used a Stamping Bella stamp coloured with copics and cut out with notched square dies.  I added the sentiment by way of ribbon and a few flowers for embellishment.

We look forward to seeing your cute Christmas entries and you can pop over to the challenge here to see the inspiration from the rest of the team.
