ART DECO CHRISTMAS

Hi everyone,

I am here today with another card to share.  Well, when I was looking through my toppers a while back I came across some Art Deco images.  I must admit I do love these images and they are a refreshing change from my normal images I use.

I opted to use a layout which first inspired me from a lovely lady's Blog.  ( http://eulandasilvey.blogspot.co.uk/ ).  Eulanda is such a talented lady and a lovely friend too.

The image was quite large and this has made for quite a large card.  I simply added some embellishments from Wild Orchid Crafts, Noor Design UK and from my stash.



Thanks for stopping by and also for your lovely comments I am receiving.  I do appreciate those more than you will ever know.

BEADED TREE



Hi everyone

Well, we are to the end of another week again, so I am finishing with another beaded tree image.  It was a digi image (I think?) which I dressed with beads etc.  I used Glossy Accents to stick them.  I find Glossy Accents so useful!  

Again I have used Gilding Wax/polish, this time in gold, on the die-cuts and the embossed background too.

I just want to keep using the Merry Christmas die over and over again!  I just love it!  That got daubed with Gilding Polish too!  The embellishments were a mixture from Noor Design UK, Wild Orchid Crafts and my stash.


Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Weekend to you all.

VINTAGE CHRISTMAS SHAKER CARD

Hi everyone

Today I have a card to share in the form of a Shaker Card.  I had been itching to try one of these.

Yes more of the lovely Gilding Polish/Wax!  Once I got using this I could not stop!  

I used a set of shaker dies which I purchased from Maddy Lisa.  These were so useful and saved all the fiddling about with getting the right sizes etc.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Noor Design Uk.  I have added the lovely Dutch Doobadoo Structure past in parts too.


Thanks for stopping by,

VINTAGE CHRISTMAS

Hi everyone

Here I have a card using a lovely Vintage Father Christmas image.  I believe this image was from one of the Images from the Past available at Noor Design Uk, but I am unsure on this.

I have used a selection of dies and have applied Gilding Polish.  The flowers arefrom Wild Orchid Crafts and Noor Design Uk and anything else came from my stash.



Again, very many thanks for stopping by.

SYLVIA ZET - HOBBY HOUSE TOPPER

Hi everyone

I am back today with a card to share using a lovely image created by Sylvia Zet in the form of a Hobby House Topper.  I absolutely love this image.  Again I have used items from Noor Design Uk and Wild Orchid Crafts.  Anything else is from my stash.

I tried a little different layout on this card and must confess I will be doing this again as I love it.  It was one that just sort of happened, if you know what I mean.




Thanks for stopping by,

PION NORTH POLE

Hi everyone

Did you have a good weekend?

Here I have a card to share which I made some time ago using the Pion 'North Pole' papers and images.  These were purchased from Noor Design UK, as were some of the embellishments etc too.  The remaining embellishments were from Wild Orchid Crafts and my stash.  You will see I have been using the Dutch Doobadoo Structure Paste again too.




Thank you so much for stopping by.

NO IMAGE CARD

Hi everyone,

A card with mo image?  This was a new mission for me!  But once I got going I found not only could I do it! lol but I was actually pleased with the result.  I have had this one saved in my saved photos folder for a while now so it is time I posted it on my Blog.

You will gather that I just love the window die which I purchased from Noor Design UK and at that time the lovely sprigs and fir cones were in stock too.  In addition there is a mixture of embellishments both from Noor and also from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I love the addition of cheesecloth.  I keep forgetting to use that, I must make a note to use it more often again.  The one I purchased from Tracy at Noor Design UK really is the finest quality and a joy to use.



Well, I think that is it for this week, so I will wish you a very happy weekend, and again thank you so much for stopping by.

BEADED TREE

Hi everyone

This is a photo of a card I made very recently.  You might recall that I had been introduced to using Gilding Wax/Gilding Polish?  Well as is often the case I got completely carried away with it.  I love the effect.  I must confess I found the Gilding Polish much more to my budget than the Wax although I do love them both.

The tree?  Well it is a Digi image which I have very carefully dressed with pearls and beads using Glossy Accents to adhere them.  I am just loving the Merry Christmas Die which I think I purchased from Noor Design Uk?    You will see I have added silver Gilding Polish there too.  There are lots of embellishments from both Wild Orchid Crafts and Noor Design Uk.  And the fabulous JOY charm was a gift from a lovely friend.  Anything else came from my stash.

I just loved making these beaded tree cards and using the Gilding Polish and will definitely be doing it again!  I would love a Gilding Polish in baby pink, if anyone knows where I can get one please do tell me?



As always thanks for taking the time to stop by.

PENNY BLACK CHRISTMAS

Hi everyone,

Yes I was very into Christmas when I made these cards I am posting this week.  In fact I was making Christmas cards right throughout the Summer months.  

So, this card was made using a a lovely Penny Black image which was stamped up with this quirky little sentiment some years ago by a lovely friend of mine.  We had such a lovely Summer that year, it was when I was first introduced to stamping.  Well, when I was looking through my stash I came across this image and new I wanted to use it right away.

I have added an assortment of die-cuts including the lovely Window which has pearls added for effect.  Minimal embellishments have been added this time.  Unusual for me I know!  Anyhow I hope you like it.



As always thank you so much for stopping by,

PION CHRISTMAS


Hi everyone

I have absolutely no mojo at the moment so I have decided to have a week of posting a few saved photos of the cards I made recently.  Maybe something will spark me off into making again during the next week or so if I have a week of blogging!  I aim to schedule some posts now for the coming two weeks.

So, here we go with my first one for today where I used Pion materials, die-cuts and a mixture of lovely embellishments a lot of which were purchased from Noor Design UK.  The pom pom trim I think I purchased from Ribbon Girl and anything else came from my stash.




I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes
A Perfect Time to Craft

Thank you so much for stopping by and also for all your lovely comments I am receiving.  I do so appreciate them!
