Kanban Art Deco

Sitting here looking at out the awful rain and wind.....and it's summer!
Was asked to make a Sister-in-law card that was 'bright' so what girl doesn't like PINK....

The image is one from the Kanban range of Art Deco lady toppers, backing paper is from the Basic Grey Two Scoops range, large EK success Retro flower punch, silver leaves, and a rose in the middle of the retro flower. I've used my favourite Cuttlebug flower die to put the sentiment on, Prima flowers and a feather have also been used as embellishments.
Hope she likes the card.

Meet Delia.........

Meet Delia my new bear, finally finished her today.....gosh did she take some stuffing...hee..hee

I have decided to called her Delia after the our friend Dee who was the lady who taught us how to make her. I'm so pleased with her but need to get some wider ribbon to go around her neck that matches her bow but just popped this netting on for the time being as I wanted to show her off......

Birthdy Hoot....

Another card I've made from the Craftwork Card 'goody' bag, this time I've also use my 'freebie' owl stamp that came with the Craft Stamper.
Right off to 'stuff' my teddy bear now...he should be finished and ready to 'show' by Friday.....

Papercrafting....

Another of my 'buys' at Newbury was a 'Goody' bag from Craftwork cards, just loved the colours.
Had a little play yesterday and made four cards and this is one of them. Also used my new large petal EK punch from the Hobby House.

Dreamy Willow

This is one of my new Whiff of Joy rubber stamps called 'Dreamy Willow' just had to make a card this afternoon using her.
Backing paper is from my 'stash'. Green Tea and Prima flowers have been used along with the new 'spacers' that I bought at Newbury and coloured Paper Mania pearly brads have been put in the centres.
Right 'tidy up time' now....

Another Christmas card...

My friend Janet and I had a crafting day yesterday trying out some of the 'goodies' that we had bought at Newbury last week.
For this card we used one of the stamps from the Create-a-scene set by Creative Expressions that Janet had bought, we used one of the Distress inks 'Black Soot' to colour the image in, we also glittered the image but unfortunately that doesn't show up very well. The decorative corners are 'waste' from a cuttlebug corner die and of course we have used the SU oval punches AGAIN with a computor generated message in the centre.

Sharing a Moment.....

It's Saturday and Penny Black challenge again, as I have missed the last 2 challenges so thought I would make a card first thing this morning. This weeks challenge was 'Swirls'
I dug deeply into my PB box and found this old but lovely stamp called Sharing a Moment which I have used many many times. The backing paper is from one of the SU designer packs.
Martha Stewart Lace Doily punch is used on the side of the card, the Swirls are from a Quickutz Revolustion die, the punch leaves are punched a L-EM punch.Pearls and flowers have also been added.

Gibson Girl......

Haven't had much time today for making cards as I've been looking after my Granddaughter but managed to complete this card.
The image is a Gibson Girl but can't remember where I bought if from as the stamp is unmounted.....

More Medallion cards

It's difficlut to scan these two cards as they both have holographic card.

The first card is another Creative Stamping stamp just stamped in light and dark turquiose, 4 layers layers have been cut and mounted on foam pads, then a holographic circle Nestability.
A few pearly gems have been added, the backgroud is the Swiss dots from Cuttlebug and a small punched flower in the corner with a brad in the middle. Dotty ribbon from my 'stash' and then the card has been edged iwith Versa Magic Sea Breeze chalk pad.

And Yes a Christmas card, this is a Pergamano Snowflake rubber stamp which can easily be used as a medallion stamp, image has been stamped onto acetate twice then glittered, and second layer has been cut and mounted with Pinflair glue. Two Nestabilities used for layering up, a scallop circle in holographic and standard circle in black pearlised card. SU oval punches and a computor generated message, background is the Cuttlebug snowflakes and black & silver spotty card, and silver holographic ribbon.
