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

Latest Designs - Stamping Fun!!!!

Been having fun again with stamps and ink.............

Here are 4 cards I have made using Stampin Up! stamps and melon mambo paper, ribbon & inks.

I didn't want to use backing paper so I created my own on white card by stamping a random circular pattern which worked really well with the ribbon and cake stamp. I am going to try this again in lots of different colour ways - just new a few spare minutes!!!!!!

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.
