Christmas Wishes Husband ...

As promised this is my final Christmas card posting for 2011 which I made for my wonderful Husband.

Computer generated sentiment with 'Husband' Gold embossed from CC Designs 

which I won earlier this year.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my followers and crafty friends a very 

Happy & Healthy new year.  Thank you soooo very much for all your support over 2011.

Have a Magical Christmas Son ...

Finally finishing my nearest & dearest Christmas cards, as the title suggests this one is for my Son.

I have used this stamp many times but I just thought my pine cone die works brilliantly with it!

Besides my colouring has come along way since then especially red
which I have always found not to my liking but this one I am pleased with.

---

The stamp is an Elyzbells one but sadly they shut down some time ago.

Coloured in the usual way so I won't detail that.

Sizzix Pine Cone covered with Diamond Dust.

Sentiments are CC Designs & Adorables (as before).

I am entering this card in the Passion for Promarkers Mega Christmas Challenge which is 'Celebrations'

With Love ...

Today I have used one of my old stamps; she is called Heidi from CC Designs Swiss Pixie collection.

I have coloured using my Promarkers this time with a touch of Stickles for her wings.

Cardstock is from Coredinations and MME (mag freebie sometime ago)!

I made the flowers using a new die I purchased a week or so ago called Die-namics, I used basic pink cardstock, scrunched it up, spritzed it with Tattered Angels mist and to finish a pearl bead.  Branch punch is Martha Stewart.  Sentiment is a stamp which was free with a mag recently designed by Pink Petticoat and my ever faithful punch with no name; the butterfly! 

Pearls from my stash and of course hand stitched.

The polka dot paper was pleated and then hand stitched to secure in place.

Take care, love to hear your comments

Another Swiss Pixie ...

This is the other Swiss Pixie from last weeks new stash, another cutie I think you will agree. Used a Magnolia stamp called Spring Tree for the background. Lots of fresh colours mainly yellow, green and pink! Embellishments from the usual suppliers, again coloured with Promarkers and a bit of glitter for her wings.

Off to play with the new release this week from LOTV!!!

More of the same ...

More playing really, nice and simple to make. I have a couple more on the go and then I have an idea for the new free stamps from this months issue of Cardmaking & Papercraft!

I was delighted to see I have a card on the letters page too which entitles me to free craft goodies, can't wait to see what drops on my door mat!

Thanks for looking,
