With Love

On a roll!

We have been back at school for a week and a bit now Little Lady is settling into Year 1 nicely, Little Man is enjoying the time to himself, and I am getting a little more time to play and share more ideas with you. So here goes another Christmas idea to share.

I hope you like it ......

For this card I used our Christmas Tree- With Love and Christmas Wishes Stamps.

I started by cutting an A4 piece of kraft card down to create a DL and onto the fromt of the card I stamped Christmas Wishes down the front and then distressed it. 

Onto the left over piece of kraft card I stamped and heat embossed the tree. I trimmed it down so it was 1.5cm smaller on each side. The trunk, heart and star were coloured in using distress ink and a waterbrush.  

When it was dry I distressed and doodled around the edge. I then mounted it onto a piece of white card added a white brad in each corner attached some ribbon around the bottom and attached it to the center of the card.

I love how quick this card was to make, if you like these stamps why not check out our website

Seasons Greetings

It feels so strange to sit and make Christmas cards when we are having such lovely weather and even more so after spending yesterday playing on the beach and today wandering around the Zoo! 

Anyway back to the serious stuff - NEW STAMPS!!!!!!! 

This card is one of the first cards I made using our NEW Christmas Tree - Seasons Greetings and Sparkle Flourish Stamps and I love it! From start to finish everything just worked and I am so please with the finished card.

I started by stamping the Christmas Tree onto white card in clear ink and adding Silver embossing powder. This was then trimmed down and distressed using Faded Jeans when I was happy I "polished" the embossing using a piece of kitchen roll. Using Faded Jeans and a water brush I then coloured in the star, trunk and open letters (greetings).

Next I cut a 7.5 inch square piece of white card and across it I stamped Sparkle Flourish and embossed them in silver. I did the top 2 rows then the bottom 2 and then finally the middle one so that the ink didn't dry before I put the embossing powder on.This was then distressed and polished as before.

The embossed flourish was then mounted onto the blue piece of card 0.5 inch bigger than the white and a piece of cord added. all of this when then attached to the front of an 8 inch square card.

The Christmas Tree was then mounted onto blue card too with a brad added to each corner and then attached to the front of the card.
