Christmas is in the air ...

An old Whipper Snapper stamp today, isn't he a little cutie, simply titled Prescott. A good size and lovely to colour too.  I have coloured with Promarkers, Nitwit paper, snowflakes & a few gems and my little old white gel pen for that snowy finish.

Elegant Christmas ...

A few Christmas cards today, using a fabulous new stamp; Christmas Wreath from Crafty Individuals.

I have been looking for an elegant stamp like this for sometime, clean & simple with a couple of gems to finish.  Stamped on cardstock from The Paperbox; Dusty Blue & Moss Green with white/gold embossing powder.  First purchases from both Crafty Individuals & The Paperbox and the service was brilliant, I would highly recommend.

Take care, Jane 

Seasons Greetings ...

Clean & simple Christmas card to share today using the very large & gorgeous Penny Black stamp 'Snowy Grove', simply stunning.  Light dusting of Tumbled Glass.  Matted onto silver mirror card, white gel pen to highlight the snow, Wink of Stella clear glitter  pen and a few pearls to finish.

Merry Christmas :) Jane x

Platinum Jubilee ...

You may have seen my feature in Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine issue 230 which went on sale last month which was showcasing milestone wedding anniversaries.  Well I couldn't resist making our lovely Queen a Jubilee celebration card in Royal colours of course.  There are many 3D embossing folders on the market, this one by Altenew titled Rose Bouquet, simply stunning and just rubbing a white ink pad over the top of the embossing, especially on darker cards looks amazing, don't you think :)  So I have used a DL card and cardstock from Papermania.  The numbers are from The Greetery and the sentiment is from Studio Light; Phrases 2.

Received a reply too ...

Have a great Jubilee weekend

Love Jane x
