Snowy Wall Hanging

Divas By Design has a new challenge today & its sponsored by Bunny Zoes & the theme is Something Snowy. On a recent visit to Sir Stamp A lot, I saw something similar that someone else had made & fell in love with it. I thought I could make that, so here is my attempt at recreating it, using mostly things I already owned. I started out with a piece of board & covered it in the green paper from my stash.I then used Aleene's Glitter Snow all around the edge.

Before adding the beige paper, I cut out several Marianne Pine Needle dies & added Aged Hunter Frantage & glitter snow to them & placed them around the corners of the board & stuck them down. On the side I used a Joy Craft snowflake die & added Stampendous Crushed Gold Glass Glitter & more snow, with a red dew drop in the middle of each.

 I then added Craft Creations paper & again added copious amounts of the glitter snow all around the edges again. The black die is a TH Hanging Sign & one is turned on its side to form a stand. Once again, loads of Glitter Snow has been added.

The Sentiment is an old wooden stamp, embossed with red embossing powder. The robin & reindeer are both Pink Gem digi stamps, which see the light of day every year as I love them both. Both of them have Crystal Glamour Dust added to them.

Lastly a little Christmas ribbon completed the wall hanging.

Spritz at Saturated Canary

This is one of my quick Xmas cards. I used Spritz at Saturated Canary which I have coloured with Prisma pencils. The papers are a mixture, but they all come from old editions of card making magazines. I have edged some with glitter using very thin DST. The sentiment is stamped using Festive Berries TH DI & is a Molly Bloom stamp. he has a little bell on the end of his hat & the banner die is La La Land. Simple & effective.

Not a Card!

Stamp & Create with Magnolia have a challenge starting today & its ''Not a card & with a winter theme'', So your creation needs to have a winter image, and of course to use winter colours, as all the challenges have a seasonal theme as well.
I chose to decorate a tag. The papers are from a Making Cards magazine & edged with Festive Berries DI. I used a Magnolia stamp from 2008 I think. Christmas Present with Bow & coloured with Prismas. Added a poinsettia, gold berries from my Christmas stash box & a SU tag. Some red organza ribbon completes the embellies. The sentiment stamp was from last years Molly Blooms magazine.

Tilda & Telephone Booth

I was lying in bed on Saturday & this idea popped into my head to combine the Scooter Tilda with the Telephone Booth, together with the Papermania Portobello Road papers, so I set to & created this card. Now I must say, I think, this has to be one of my all time favourites, I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

I masked the two stamps together & coloured with Prisma pencils. I have edged the mount with  Pumice Stone Distress Ink. The papers are Papermania Portobello Road & all the stamps are also Portobello Road. Added a little lace from stash, a bow & flowers, also from stash. The pinwheels are made from a Memory Box die.

Molly Bloom at Xmas

Well I am busy making my Christmas cards & this year, I am trying to do more that will not need large letter stamps to keep the cost down & also to reduce the need to make boxes to send them in. I am not that successful to be honest, but this one at least can go in an envelope & not a box.
I used a Molly Bloom stamp that came with last years Christmas magazine & coloured him with Prismas. I have fallen in love with my Prismas all over again). I think the blue paper came from the same source but the beige one is a Craft Creations one. The ribbon is also from the same magazine set. The snowflake has bronze embossing powder on it & was cut out on my Robo. A few bronze pearls, a shape cut from a magazine & a sentiment complete the card.

OMG with Kenny K!

Divas by Design have another challenge starting today & this week its being sponsored by Kenny K and the theme is Use Orange.

The team were very kindly given some images to use & I chose OMG & coloured her with Prisma pencils & mounted her onto a Marianne die cut. I edged it with TH Dried Marigold DI & added a little orange embossing powder as well. The papers were from my stash. I also used a MS punch to edge the paper underneath the topper. The lace I coloured with a Promarker & added organza ribbon in lime green & orange. I also used my newest purchases which are the La La land Banner & Magnolia Doohockey So Wrapped Lovely Heart, both of which Janice at Sir Stamp A Lot ordered & kept for me whilst away on my hols. I added more of the orange embossing powders to both to add a little texture.

 The twine I also coloured with Promarkers. The little sentiment stamp is again from Sir Stamp A Lot. Jewels & flowers all from stash.

Tilda & Present

I am back after having a fabulous 3 week s away at our house in Cyprus, 2 weeks with hubby, then 2 friends joined me for a week & boy did we laugh. This week has been manic as hubby has had hopefully his final operation on his knee & we can start looking forward to the New year, as this one has been so awful for us both.
Anyway, I made this card ages ago, but just didnt get around to posting it. I used Tilda on the Roof & placed her on top of an old stamp from Christmas 2009. Coloured with Prismas. Mounted onto a Spellbinders Nestie with Aged Scarlet Frantage around the edges. The Christmas die is a Marianne, again with lots of Frantage added. Vintage seam binding from stash, as are the flowers, ribbon & twine. The ticket is a freebie from blogland a long time ago.
