All Is Calm

Hi Crafty Friends!

Back with another card featuring the Sketchy Yule Trees by STAMPlorations ...

The background was created using a Poly Plate by Crafty Roo Designs and the stars stamp and sentiment from the Kathryn And Christmas set by STAMPlorations. It was finished off with a hand doodled border.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Hi Crafty Friends!

Got a simple slimline card for you today. It is actually a UK DL size which is slightly different to the US slimline.

I used a mix of ink blending and watercolouring for the florals by Crafty Roo Designs and finished off with a hand doodled border, gems and a die-cut sentiment by STAMPlorations.

Wishing you all a lovely Sunday!

Hi Crafty Friends!

Sharing the third card made in support of STAMPlorations owner Shery. It uses the Sketchy Yule Trees from the Holiday Stamps Bundle. Have a look ...

The background was made using the Circles Flexi-Template and Crackling Campfire DI, I think. I then added a bit of tacky glue and gilding flakes before finishing off with a die-cut sentiment and a touch of glitter glue.

Thanks to Jo's pointer, Ill be linking up at the Christmas Kickstart Challenge #68 - Trees, trees,trees. 

 

Wishing you all a lovely Saturday!

Christmas Candles

Hi Crafty Friends!

Following on from yesterday's post is the theme of supporting Shery, STAMPlorations owner, by promoting some of the bundles she has for sale.

Today I'm showcasing dies from the Christmas Thin Metal Dies bundle which you can find here.

Simply die-cut and layered it's a rather easy card to make.

Wishing you a lovely day!

PS - the bundles would make great Christmas gifts for crafty friends, one could get up to 10 gifts out of the Christmas Thin Metal Dies bundle.

Please note, STAMPlorations digital store is still fully open and has a few really nice images for making Christmas cards too.

Thankful Every Day

Hi Crafty Friends!

It's time to support STAMPlorations a bit. As some of you might know STAMPlorations owner Shery has this year been facing some health challenges which means that she has been unable to work and keep her online shop open as usual.

However Shery has put some bundles up for sale which ship in the US and Canada only ... and her digital store is still open too. You can check it out here. A particular favourite of mine is the Sketched Christmas Flower and Poinsettia Row set.

Today's card uses the tree and sentiment dies from the Gratitude Bundle which you can find here.

Both were cut into my base card and backed with patterned paper. The tree was double layered and added back in.

Wishing you all a lovely day!

Hi Crafty Friends!

Wishing you a lovely day!

Thank You Tags

Hi Crafty Friends!

November is here and with it probably a month of almost continuous postal strikes here in the UK, just in time for the busy online Christmas shopping period.

Today I'm sharing some tags I made a few weeks ago when I was selling a few stamp sets I no longer use. I always like to add a little card or tag when sending my de-stash items off to their new owners. Have a look ...

Background and sentiment were stamped using stamps from a set by Happy Little Stampers, not sure exactly where the dies came from.

Wishing you all a lovely day!
