Christmas

Christmas comes around so quickly I thought it was time to get on and make some cards.  I made the Wise Men cards using a stamp I bought from a friend and K&Co papers.

These two cards I made using felt shapes purchased from the Range.  I thought they may look a bit heavy but I think they look ok.

Couldn' wait to use my new Stamping Up stamps so here are three quick cards.

New Stamping up Stamps

Just a few new cards that I have had time to photograph this month.

This Card is made out of fabric and so is the next one.

The next card was stamped using inkadinkado stamps

I love looking at other peoples work space's so I thought I would publish mine.  I have to admit it's not usually so tidy.  I try to tidy up once a week or you wouldn't be able to get through the door.

Well it's nearly year since I last posted a blog. It just shows how busy I 've been.

I'm still teaching at my Tuesday card class and I decided to go to an art class on Thursdays. I have a new outlet for my cards in Falmouth and our card class has started selling cards at the Betjamin Centre in Wadebridge in aid of the Childrens Hospice South West. So all in all, along with several bouts of ill health my blog has taken a back seat.

So here are a few of latest creations.

The card above was created using one of my waterclour paintings which was scanned and layered.

I feel guilty as I have been very lax updating my blog. I have been very busy making Christmas cards. I already run a weekly card class and have now joined an art class. Here are a few examples of my new cards. The star angel is my latest painting scanned and shrunk. (It looks better shrunk!) I thought I could combine my art and card making together.

I am so excited and thrilled to win the 'design a stamp competition' for Craft Stamper Magazine. The magazine is out on Friday 7th August. I'm so big headed I can't get through the front door and my friends and family are totally fed up of my bragging.

Here is a card using the little house and tree stamp designed by me!!

I've had this stamp for ages it's one of my all time favourites. I've used mica powders over versa mark ink. Unfortunately, my photo skills let the card down. The colours are much richer than shown here. I have used 'accent beads' to highlight flowers.

Bellow is a simple wedding card using a Graphicus stamp I bought in their sale. The backing paper is from a Graphicus CD.

I've not been very productive of late but thought I,d better make something light and pretty. I made these using my new peg stamps. I've also been playing with the new Joanna Sheene CD which is beautiful.

Fathers Day

As it will soon be fathers day I thought I would put these cards onto my blog. I must admit I would rather make pretty cards. So I'm off to make some wedding cards now, always a favourite with me.
