70th Birthday....

Forgot to take a decent photograph of the card I made for my lovely friend Jan's 70th birthday.  I know I'm still sorting out lots of crafty stash but when I saw this die I knew I had to have it's Creative Expressions Maggie frame and I know I will use it a lot...

Enjoy the rest of your weekend...

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.

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.

July Club projects.......

Where does the time go? Once again it's club time next Wednesday and this month we are making cards using the Medallion stamps, this is the first sample card that I have made, others are in the making!! Karen is also making samples so keep an eye on her blog..... This stamp is from Creative Expressions, 4 images have been stamped, 2 on dark green, 2 on light green, then cut out and layered, the cutting out and layering is up to you there is no rule on how this should be done.
Our friend Janet another project and hopefully we will have a sample of this on my blog tomorrow.

All Aboard....

These stamps that I have used were from a set that I bought at Shepton Mallet craft show on Thursday, they are made by Creative Expression called Create-a-Scene, there are 16 stamps in all which I thought was execellent value for money.
Adirondack inks have been used to stamp the images and I've used a mixture of different colour ink pads around the edges including Distress Inks.
