Pine Bough ...

 

  

  

Some special Christmas makes once again, this time using the gorgeous Pine Bough from The Greetery now exclusively available at Seven Hill Crafts.  I have been waiting for the brand to come to the UK so needless to say plenty of goodies went in my basket ha ha.

So navy card blank, navy card mat with Frantage (pink & gold to match the mirror card), mirror card, cream/navy sentiments foil quilled on my Silhouette.  Cut pine branches/needles & cones and lightly coloured with distress ink.  Sprinkled a little more Frantage before assembly.  

These special cards are a little bigger than 7x5 so they have boxes to match.

Christmas Wishes ...

A contemporary, masculine Christmas card to share today.  White card blank and mat, Frantage background and trees cut from black, vellum, gold and patterned card stock.  3d foam mounted mat and some of the trees.  The sentiment was foiled on my Silhouette.

Bye for now, Jane x

 

Stunning Snowflake ...

 

Today I would like to share a couple of my special Christmas cards for 2021, so family members.  Super elegant I think and really pleased with how they turned out.  So navy card mat, navy mat slightly smaller with the silhouette of the Sizzix TH Stunning snowflake cut out.  I have used a sprinkling of Shabby Blue Frantage to create the background. Cut one large white snowflake, two small, one white again and the other gold glitter card.  Stuck back in the large white snowflake, mounted with 3d foam tape.  Foam tape for the gold and pva to put the white on top.  Foil quilled the sentiment and cut out with the Arch Banner die.

BEST OF LUCK ...

Well Mama Elephant done it again with these agendas, wow, out of this world ha ha.  I knew straight away who my first make using these goodies was going to be and I am pleased to be able to share with you now. 

So I have also been expanding my distress oxide collection and for my first galaxy background I am rather pleased but of course there is always room for improvement; I used Squeezed Lemonade, Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire & Black Soot.  Liquid star dust & embossing enamel.  Stamped images & coloured with Promarkers.  Cut on my Silhouette, hand stitched, sequin stars, glow in the dark embossing powder for the stars, spaceship rays and sentiment.  Matted and layered using 3d foam pads.

Hap-pea Fathers Day ...

Well I have been after this stamp for absolutely years & years, then I found out that tampendous were releasing it, in the new collection and wow, I was right there ready to place my order. Well to be fair I was cruising  around the Mediterranean but my Daughter was under strict instructions to buy it immediately, bless her, thanks Elly x  It is titled 'Pea Pod Nap' and sold out quickly in many stores, it is soooo adorable, most favourite stamp ever!!!!

I have coloured with Promarkers, buttons, ribbon, gold mirri & hand stitched to finish.

The papers were of course from NITWIT COLLECTIONS from these two kits

Enjoy the Journey ...

A new challenge over at 'A Little Bit Crafty' starts today and is titled 'Kraft It'

so we want to see your creations with Kraft card.  I was given the Sarah Hurely

'Curio' digi kit for this one and have created something a little bit different to my usual style.

I have used Kraft card for my base, hand stitched and then my lovely 'Frantage' enamels (loving this 

product) and the butterflies and sentiment are from the kit.

I have printed the butterflies onto white pearl card stock and stuck back to back

so you don't see the white card and then just shaped so they jump out at you.
