Festive Friday

The other day as I was tidying up in my craft room I came across these four stamped Christmas trees with the "Happy Christmas " sentiment...I have no idea why I stamped them or when...but dug out some scraps, button and ribbon and made four quick Christmas cards out of them.

Supplies:- Sew Cute by Penny Black, Happy Christmas by PSX, PTI white cardstock, brilliance ink, SU coloured cardstock, pinking shears, buttons, SU markers, ribbon, white gel pen. embroidery thread and foam dots.

Festive Friday

With just over 11 weeks until Christmas I am finally starting to make a small dent in the cards I need to make. I couldn't resist using this cute, round snowman on my card this week.Supplies:- Unity KOTM January 2011, PSX sentiment, PTI white cardstock, Brilliance ink, DP unknown, SU markers, Martha Stewart snowflake punch, ribbon, Nestabilities and foam dots.

Call when it's time for cake!

Can you believe it's the last day of April? Where is the year going? I made today's card using this week's OWH Stars and Stamps sketch...which I flipped around as it suited the Fuzzy Bear stamp by PSX better.

Supplies:- Fuzzy Bear by PSX, Afterthoughts by SU, SU coloured cardstock, Scrap DP, Watercolours, Watercolour paper, Brilliance ink, SU marker, SU punch, and Foam dots.

Just a Note

Molly, over at Miss Molly Creations has challenged our blog group ~ Tangled Up in Creativity to make a very simple card...one sentiment or one picture only. If we use a picture we need to keep it simple - no detailed colouring...just a simple and classic card.

I have always loved this Just a Note stamp by PSX as it is interesting enough on it's own without adding pictures. The pink background paper has a slight glimmer to it which works perfectly with the silk ribbon. I stamped the "Just a note" onto the background paper and cut out the J and the ornate box that surrounds it and popped it up with a foam dot.

Supplies:-
Stamp - PSX

Black and White with a hint of Green

I made today's cards for the The Play Date Cafe colour splash challenge this week. The Colour Splash challenge is Black & White with a hint of colour. This week's colour is green...any shade is fine! I very rarely reach for green so I thought this would be a good challenge for me. I love black and white cards and I sprinkled on a few rhinestones for a little sparkle on this fairy card....

...but I just wasn't happy with it! I love this PSX stamp but in my head I could picture it with pinks and purples...some ribbon perhaps and even some glitter. I just don't like it in black, white and green so I went back to the drawing board....actually my craft table and made a completely different card for this challenge!

Beary Cute!

Isn't this bear cute...I love the expression on her face! I think it's one of the biggest stamps I own (the card measures 5 1/4" x 5 1/4") and I'm not a huge fan of really big stamps so it really hasn't been used very much, if ever, over the years! As I was tidying up my stamps the other day I dug out a few really old ones that I wanted to ink up and this cute bear was one of them! She's a little too large to colour with my Copics so I chose to paint her with watercolours on watercolour paper. I left it blank on the inside so I can add a sentiment later depending on who I give it to. I added little pink rhinestones to her heart and of course she needed a bow!

Supplies:-

Stamp - PSX

Watercolour paper

Brilliance ink

Watercolour paints

SU coloured cardstock
