HAPPY birthday ...

I have had a little play with some new goodies, this is Ginkgo from The Greetery which is now available exclusively at Seven Hills Crafts here in the UK.  Coloured in Promarkers.  Also the Lets Have a Word Birthday die has been cut several times in the navy/black cardstock to make it pop and then in gold.  Vellum & navy/black mat cut with Sue Wilsons Double Stitched dies.  Assembled with pva & 3d foam tape.  The 'Happy' is taken from Anita Jeram Bee you Stamped in Blueberry Bushel/black ink.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge -

I Love Promarkers - Anything Goes/Banner (I Won Top 3)!

Happy crafting Jane x

  

Joy ... to the world

Well I have gone for an elegant simple understated look for this Christmas card, makes a change & I am really pleased with the result, a pleasure to make too.

I have used the 'Softly Falling' embossing folder from Stampin Up.  Several different snowflake dies, the 'Joy' die is also from Stampin Up and part of the 'Wonderful Wreath Framelit dies (135851) and was cut from Crafters Companion Glitter luxury card along with the Mirror Luxury card.

A couple of vellum snowflakes & a few of acetate snowflakes cut on my Silhouette as they

didn't cut very well on my Big Shot.  Not forgetting some hand stitching, well it wouldn't be me would it.  Gems & sequins to finish.

A SPECIAL NOTE of Thanks TO YOU ...

CAS card to share today using the gorgeous Altenew Vintage Roses Collection stamped with Memento Dew Drop inks; Lilca Posies, Rose Bud, Angel Pink, Northern Pine, Bamboo Leaves & Pear Tart. The sentiment is from Stampin Up; Floral Phrases embossed in gold on a band of vellum.  Hand stitched & a few gold gems to finish.

Special Today ...

A DL sized card inside a pocket today to share using Burger Tilda which I have had for an age and it has never seen ink and the worst thing is there are plenty more that I need to use.

Mat & layering, ovals cut on the Silhouette Cameo along with the Kraft pocket itself.

Hand stitched & coloured with Promarkers.

This is definately fully loaded so here goes - flowers, doily, love charm, spoon/fork charms, ribbons, sequins & pearls.

The bunting, honeycomb, cloud, bee, hexagons, foliage and sun are from various Doohickey Club kits.  The sentiment 'Hope you're feeling special today' is from Stampin Up Garden in Bloom stamp kit heat embossed in silver.  Lace green border.  Shabby chic created using Gesso.

Last but no means least the papers are from NITWIT COLLECTIONS

Just one of many fabulous kits for all occasions.

Thanks ...

A little thank you card to share today, tried this technique, really simple but so effective.

I will definitely be creating some more of these!

I have mat & layer black & white card to make it pop, stamped using the Stampin Up Garden in Bloom stamps using TH Distress markers, ink the outlines in black and then finally cut out the sentiment using the gorgeous Lawn Fawn Scripty thanks die.  Some gorgeous ribbon and couple of little gems to finish.

That is all for me today, see you again soon, happy crafting.
