A Traditional Christmas

Morning all! How's your week going so far? Tis almost the weekend! I can't wait for Saturday, off the NEC I go! Tis also Bonfire night tonight, I think we're going to a local display, haven't been to a display for years!

Today I've got quite a traditional Christmas card to show. I got this gorgeous stamp in my dt kit from Elaine, called 'Two Turtle Doves'. You can buy it here, and since Elaine is having 10% off at the moment, it's a bargain! The actual stamp is a heart shaped bauble with holly then this cutie inside but I masked the bauble off and just used the main image this time.

For the layout I've used the fab sketch over at Cupcake Craft Challenges this week and I'm also going to enter into the Belli Challenge who want to see raffia or twine.

Stuff: Elisabeth Bell for SCACD Two Turtle Doves stamp here, copics to colour, Basic Grey Wassail paper here, liquid pearls in silver pearl here, SU sentiment, twine from stash, pin from stash, charm from here, tulle in french vanilla here.

Here's a little image close-up:~

I think that's it from me today! Hopefully have something else to show you tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your day and thanks so much for stopping by and any comments you might leave me-love hearing from you! xxx

Feeling pink

Hey everyone! I was in a pink mood today, which is quite rare, I hardly ever do pinky girly cards but I was really in the mood for it today! My good friend Vix sent me this beautiful Tilda that I had had on my wish list-it's come to a good home Vix! She sent me such a beautiful card as well, with a gorgeous matching envelope-thanks so much sweets! I started off following the sketch atA Spoonful of Sugar but have altered it a fair bit as I resized elements and added so I hope it's ok:) Also am entering it at Pollycraft Monday who want to see out favourite things (distressing),Just Magnolia which is a card for a friend,and Cupcake Craft Challenges which is something sweet (It's also their 1 year birthday so there's lets of fun stuff going on so go check it out!).

Stuff: Magnolia Tilda coloured with promarkers and copics, basicgrey and papermania papers, coredinations cardstock regular plus whitewash, sewing machine, nesties and cuttlebug, ribbon from stash, magnolia sentiment from summer kit, pearls from Quixotic Paperie, bling from stash.

Couldn't believe it-haven't won anything for ages it seems! Maybe mr random generator is my friend again-hehe. Sooo what do you reckon I picked?

Cupcake Crafts

Good evening,

Had a lovely day today, leo has been a pleasure after 3 weeks of him teething and being quite poorly, bless him so it's been a super fun day! Last night was the first night in 3 weeks that he slept through so I also have felt like a 'normal' person, getting up every couple of hours with a poorly toddler does tend to make you feel a lil zombiefied (hmm don't think that's a real word. lol). So here's my card for this evening-I am loving this stamp, doesn't she look so classy-I think she's actually called poise! I've followed the sketch over at Cupcake Crafts which is a lovely one, another I think I'll be using again. I am going to send this one to a friend over at a card swap on docrafts, it's lovely getting cards isn't it?! Nesties haven't arrived yet-am crossing my fingers that they'll come tomorrow on my 'day off'! 

Materials: Bazill cardstock, cosmocricket honeypie papers, flowers made on cricut, brads from stash, leanne ellis sugar nellie stamp coloured with promarkers, the artistic stamper sentiment plate, adhesive lace from stash.

Have a fun night, am off to watch The Apprentice-love it!!!

Cupcake Craft Challenge

Found the Cupcake Craft Challenge blog a few weeks ago but haven't managed to have a go before now. I've made this card with a pagan/wiccan theme for something different and thought it might go to one of my pagan friends. It is also the first outing for my new gorjuss girl!!! Isn't she lovely, I think this is my fave from the set actually.

On this card I used CCSR the big one paper, bazill cardstock, dcwv metallic stack, cherry pie art stamps for the pentagrams, gorjuss girl, dcwv ribbon, cherry pie art stamps for the sentiment too. I also distressed all the stamped images with distress inks, the colouring was with my promarkers (I love them so much). I hope you like it! Well I am off to bed soon so catch you all tomorrow, hope you're having a lovely weekend!
