And finally ...

I never thought I would finish wrapping presents - didn't realise there were so many until I unearthed them from their hiding places!

Anyway, all cards done, one final post before the hols.

The card here uses Alison Yeates parchment petals. They come perforated for folding and pinching so that when you have added your design they magically (after some practice) turn in to a very pretty shape.

I embossed a snowflake on to each petal here and added dots as a border (apologies to those of you that received one without dots - I forgot what I was doing!!). The bottom layer is traced, embossed and perforated round the edge (I used a new PCA tool, not entirely sure what it was yet but I liked it!).

I have had these for ages and pleased I finally used some. Finished off with card candy coloured with copics and a bit of Anita's ribbon.

Just worked out I have sold 90 cards at work this month, plus making cards for close family and friends - I now have a cold (probably not surprisingly) and will be having a couple of days of well earned rest!!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Cat!!!

Can't really say too much about today's commission!

I have made quite a few cards for people at work using photos of their dogs, 3 d'ing them on a background of paw prints etc.

This week I have been asked to do a cat (on an A4 card) - nothing wrong there you might think. I was only given one picture of said animal and have produced the card shown below. Enjoy!!!

Antlers

Another quick post in passing!

Today's request was for a dog card (and one I haven't done before) so I have used the Penny Black Reindeer Pup stamp.

Simply coloured with copics (dog has to be brown) and gold pen for a bit of sparkle and layered in colours to match.

Peel off greeting and some card candy in the corner - hey presto!

Be Merry!

I have been really busy today but will not be posting the cards I have produced until they have reached their destination (hoping they will get there by Christmas!!).

Then had to pop out for a lovely tea and glass of wine obviously - it is Christmas!!

Christmas Scene

In between writing and actually posting a few cards and catching up with some stuff I have made a few more Penny Black fantasy trees and this card which is a commission for work.

The card is actually nearly 8" square.

The picture is from a Kanban set of Christmas toppers and is a really pretty scene. It doesn't show up much on the picture but I have added glamour dust to some areas for sparkle.

Then it is just layered with a message added and some punched snowflakes that also met with some glamour dust (the whole house is currently sparkling - doesn't it get everywhere?!).

Still going!

Still on rather quick cards, these are just made from the Forever Friends packs that DOCrafts issued a few weeks ago (and now are another thing you can't get for love nor money!!).

Anyway, I'm afraid these ones were just die-cut decoupage layered on paper from the packs - with a few gems to finish off. Still effective for a slightly more special card.

No Post

Too busy working, shopping and drinking mulled wine for anything crafty today I'm afraid!!
I'll try harder tomorrow!
