Home Sweet Home ...

A clean and simple shaker card today, rather effective I think.

So Kraft base card blank, cream, navy, acetate, cream matting & layering.

Cut on my Silhouette and filled with gorgeous red hearts from Nuvo Confetti.

I hope you have been enjoying my card a day during December creations, just a few more days left.  Wishing my fellow creators a very Happy Christmas 2023.

WITH sympathy ...

CAS today, as you can see something that is necessary but not a pleasure to send.

The cutting file is from the Silhouette Design Store titled 'Flower Tile' by the artist Cali Arroyo.

I have cut out of cream card stock and layered onto a lovely green (fav colour anyone that doesn't know me by the way) and gold heat embossed the sentiment from an old Personal Impressions stamp set couple of gold gems to finish, beautiful.

you're so very tweet ...

CAS today, little shaker thank you card, aren't they cute these Bird Bath stamps from Clearly Besotted.  Coloured with Promarkers, hand stitched, Nitwit papers and some Nuvo Ice White circles for the shaker.

Happy crafting Jane x

Happy Father's Day ...

I have used a scrapbook layout from the Silhouette Design Store for this one, by  Carina Gardner.  Nitwit papers, hand stitched as I haven't done that in a while.  CG sentiment, gorgeous new stamps from My Favourite Things; Festive Old Friend.  Coloured with Promarkers. Scraps of card, enamel dots to finish

Kick back, relax & take it easy ...

Shamefully I have to admit to owning this rubber stamp (now only available as a digi) for longer than I care to mention and this is its first inking, oops. So I came across this in my stash and decided to take care of Fathers Day. This card is a little interactive in that it has a 'tear strip' on the front which says "Kick back, relax & take it easy."  You then pull where the little crystal heart is to reveal the sentiment for Fathers Day.

I have cut all the elements on my Silhouette Cameo, Argyle embossing folder, papers & charm from my stash.  Coloured with Promarkers & pencils,  hand stitched and some pearls.

Summer Time ...

Summer Time, I know, wishful thinking right now, the weather? so I hope this makes you smile.

So this yummy Tilda is called 'Tilda with Big Ice Cream', coloured with Promarkers, sentiment on my Silhouette, Doohickey Antique Lace die, have to say when it comes to Tilda the lace die has to be one of my all time favourites.

Thanks so much ...

Just a couple of thank you cards using the gorgeous free stamps in Papercraft Essentials Magazine issue 168.  So pretty and lovely to colour, I used Promarkers along with what I think is called the eclipse technique using the Lawn Fawn Scripty Thanks die and co-ordinating card stock in layers.  Hand stitched onto black cardstock. My faithful old Dymo machine for the sentiment.  Some glitter on the central flower, butterfly & pearl to finish.

hooray ...

 

Well I can finally share this card with you, first attempt at the black background colouring showcased by Stephanie Klauk.  Stunning effect, so elegant and very relaxing.  I opted to stamp this large MFT stamp; Harmonious Hibiscus in London Fog first using my stamping platform, coloured the flowers, re stamped in watermark and heat embossed in gold.  Finally coloured the black background.  A strip of vellum, hooray die, HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment and a few gems to finish.

Not a quick make but looks gorgeous, I will definitely be trying this effect again soon.
