Gift Set 2

Hi Crafty Friends!

It's time to share another gift set as in 'one I made earlier but haven't posted about'. It consists of 5 10x10cm cards with envelopes in a little gift box

Here they are ...

All of them are one-layer and they were presented nicely tied with a bow.

They're basically stamped and coloured with a bit of stencilling on the envelope.

Most of the stamps used were by Crafty Roo Designs who are sadly no longer trading. The tiny stars stamped around the circle in the above card is a mini stamp by Lavinia Stamps.

The stencil, Confetti #1, and the script stamp used in the background of the first card are both from STAMPlorations.

The circle is a Media Plate by John Next Door.

Doodling and gems finished the cards off.

That's it from me for today.

Magical Tree

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today's card uses the ink left over on my brayer and the circle media plate by John Next Door for the background ...

The tree stamp from a Hot Off The Press set which came with a magazine was stamped in Elegant Eggplant SU ink. It went well with the delicate and dreamy background I got off the media plate.

A sentiment from another magazine set stamped in London Fog Memento and a couple of gems finished my card off.

From tomorrow I'll only be posting about my Advent Calendar makes. It's just getting a bit too busy for two posts a day.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Instinct

Hi Crafty Friends!

Got more inky printed goodness for you with today's card, have a look ...

The background was made using thecircle Media Plate by John Next Door with Picked Raspberry and Speckled Egg DIs for the first layer. The second one uses the Wheels slimline stencil by STAMPlorations in combination with Festive Berries DI. The third layer uses Festive Berries DI around the edge.

The birds in flight were stamped in London Fog Memento.

The bird was stamped in black Versafine and watercoloured using Aurore, Ocean, The and Brou De Noix Izink dye inks.

The card was finished off with a stamped sentiment and copious amounts of sequins, Trendy Birds 2 and Art Is stamps by STAMPlorations. 

I shall be back later with another Advent Calendar make. Wishing you all a lovely Day!

Stay Strong

Hi Crafty Friends!

Sharing another card with a background made using one of the Media Plates by John Next Door ...

I did use a stencil which created a delicate pattern. It sadly got lost when I added the flowers and blending around the edges. The colours used were Fossilised Amber, Crackling Campfire and Victorian Velvet DIs.

Stencil, sentiment and butterfly by STAMPlorations and flower stamp by Crafty Roo Designs.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Magical Polar Bear

Hi Crafty Friends!

I was playing a little bit more with my Media Plates by John Next Door using ink which was left on my brayer when making yesterday's card ...

Working on the plate after applying this left over ink, I used the Mini Snowflake Texture stamp to pick up some of the ink from the plate and randomly stamp in a different place onto my plate before picking the pattern up with a piece of card ... that's how my background came to be. BTW inks used for the background were Speckled Egg and Picked Raspberry DIs

To finish I simply stamped my polar bear by LOTV and sentiment by STAMPlorations, added some shading with Tumbled Glass Di and some glitter too.

Wishing you a lovely Sunda!

Silent Night - non traditional

Hi Crafty Friends!

Sharing a non traditional colour Christmas card made for a challenge in the UK Stampers Forum Facebook group. Have a look ...

I used Speckled Egg and Picked Raspberry DIs for the background made with the rectangle Media Plate by John Next Door and the Mini Snowflake Texture stamp by Crafty Roo Designs.

The stars were then stamped in London Fog Memento ink and the sentiment in Purple Velvet Prism ink, both stamps by Crafty Roo Designs too.

Wishing you all a lovely day!
