Tweet Tweet - Merry Christmas...

Hello,

I saw the first Robin of Winter in the garden this morning which reminded me to share this tag with you made with the fabulous Dina Wakley Holiday Birds Stamps and First Edition Falling Leaves 6x6 Paper.

Finally started making our Christmas Cards for 2015

Hello,

Hope you are all wrapped up warm and avoiding this cold weather.  To me this is perfect crafting weather and I have set aside today to make my Christmas cards to send to friends and family.  I am a little late this year but can honestly say me crafting mojo had vanished and wanted to make other projects - how about you?

This is a really simple card made with the fabulous Clearly Besotted Christmas Stamps and scraps of card but really enjoyed making it.

Best get back to it before the rest of the house wakes up

Vintage Style Christmas Card - Inspire Creationz

Here at Inspire Creationz we are loving vintage inspired cards at the moment with brands such as Graphic45 and Kaisercraft releasing products perfect for this theme.

This card has been made with Kaisercraft Topper Sheet and the free paper pack received inside Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine in November.

We also like how the black card really makes the red of the paper pop - we will certainly be making more of these cards

Scrap Challenge Update - Inspire Creationz

Morning All, whilst we have a quick coffee and plan our work for the day we thought we would give you a quick update on our Scraps Challenge.

Here is a quick Christmas Card for you continuing our theme of using up all our scraps. My little bits of ribbons and scraps of card & paper are idea for this card as it uses very little materials.  Still tempted to buy more Christmas bits & pieces but determined to use as much as possible from my scraps before I do

How are you getting on with the Challenge?

Happy Crafting

Christmas Crafting with La Blanche Stamps & Dovecraft Vintage Christmas Papers

Two new cards made with my new La Blanche Foam Stamps. 

I just couldn't resist the temptation to have a play with the new Dovecraft Vintage Papers and La Blanche Stamps - both worked really well together and Old Olive is my favourite Christmas ink colour.

I have started my Christmas cards in earnest now - last year only started in December so thought I had better get a move on.  I hope you enjoy xxx

Quick Christmas Cards - Still Need to Make Lots More..

Hello,

Where has the time gone - only 14 days left before Christmas and now on a mad card making frenzy.  I always leave cards until late as I seem to get more inspiration that way but there is really not many more posting days left.

I just love the leaf stamp that I used to make these wreaths for the centre of the cards and just by adding different backing papers and bazzill card can really make each card different.  Better get back to it, please pop back soon

Quick Makes Christmas Cards - Time to Use Up Scraps....

Trying to sort my Christmas craft stash and thought I would make these two really quick makes to use up some scraps I had of the silver mesh.  Loving purple & silver  for Christmas cards at the minute and the snowflake punch makes light work of making fab embellishments for cards.

Please pop back soon as lots more cards to share with you - crafting mojo is back and making the most of it ....

Contemporary Christmas Cards ....

It's Christmas Card time again...... 

Now that the Children have gone back to school, I feel the time is right to start making Christmas Cards - but want something different this year.  As soon as it was launched, I absolutely loved the First Edition Christmas Joy - especially the colour scheme as the oranges, teals & cream really offer card makers a contemporary look & feel to the cards.  Others must feel the same as it is our biggest seller at the minute from our website.

All I can say is 2 down, lots, lots more to go....

Christmas Baubles - New Card for Christmas

Here is our latest Christmas Card - I just love these new bauble stamps from Papermania. You might be able to see that I have stamped the image twice and then decoupaged up the layers for added effect.

I also really like the Stampin Up! vintage Vogue set and thought the flower border worked well on this card.

I have set myself a challenge to make 20 cards this weekend so better make a start!!!!! Pop back on Sunday to see if I have made it....

Enjoy your weekend

Lots of Fun with Cosmic Shimmer Mist!!!!!!

I have had so much fun this weekend trying out new products.

My in-laws offered to have the children for the weekend so I indulged in a bit of me time and created a LOT of mess with my craft stash - but I certainly enjoyed it......

I had never tried Cosmic Shimmer Mist before but had seen a beautiful card made with it in my local craft shop so thought I would have a go.

With these cards I stamped the images in white ink and then embossed them with clear powder. Once completely dry I then sprayed the Cosmic Shimmer Mist all over and left outside to dry. I will certainly go back for more colours now as I was really pleased with the effect.
