My last offering for Christmas in July......................

 

I am sure that now I have made these three cards I will still be on the back foot at Christmas time - fretting and panicking because I have left making my cards until the last minute....................

who knows - maybe this year will be different!!!!!!!!!

Anyway here is my third and final offering of the Christmas trilogy..................

 

 

 

A really simple card to make due to using the fab LOTV images.......................

 

 

Ingredients used:-

 

LOTV Image

Die'Sire Christmas Patchwork Emboss Folder

Zig Emboss Pen

Glamour Dust

CE Pearls

CE Diamond Sparkles

 

I hope you like..............................................

 

and keeping in the Christmas Spirit (no alcohol involved)!!

 

 

 

 

 

I just love these little creatures - a friend made them for us last Christmas..................we trimmed them up with fairy lights and they looked amazing..........................

anyway I thought I would share them with you as we are on a festive theme and someone commented about the modern art we had in the garden - well here they are in their full glory.




Normal service will be resumed in my next blog.

A first for me................

a Christmas card in July!!!!!!

Not one but three - I am surely losing the plot........

My first offering...........

A cute card but not too cutesy!!!

Ingredients are:-

 



LOTV Image

SB Fleur de Lis dies

Cheery Lynn Snowflakes Die

Stampin Up Emboss Folder

Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow

Glamour Dust

CE Pearls

 

I luv how this 'freebie' emboss folder looks like snow because the dots are a bit random (some might say a bit like me)!!

 

Have a fab weekend and I hope the weather is being as kind to you as it is to us here.

Mrs Duck - not sure which piece of modern art you are looking at in the photo but if it is the metal one immediately behind the cards - they are candle lanterns.  If it is the wooden one, it is a reindeer that a friend of ours made which is on top on the picnic bench as the other half was/had mown the lawn - hope that answers you question.

 

mwah!!xx

 

A trio of simpleness..........................

and no I don't mean 'me, myself and I'.......................................

I made these cards a couple of months ago when I was on a roll in my craft room -  they are so easy to make and great for a quick card when necessary or for batch making.........................

as you can see if you alter the colours/sentiments/orientation they all look slightly different even though it is the same basic components used...............................

 

 

 

Like I say extremely simple (but hopefully effective).........................

Thanks for looking in.

Wedding card...............................

I can now show this because the wedding card is for a couple who got married yesterday.

Hopefully you will be seeing this because it is the first time I have scheduled a post.........................so fingers well and truly crossed.....................

If it does work you will be reading this the day after the wedding which took place in Rhodes and we were fortunate to attend..............................couldn't turn down the opportunity of visiting a place we haven't been too before and also being part of the celebrations for our nephews wedding.....................

 

Card blank embossed with CC Elegance Emboss folder and layered onto soft gold CE card which is then mounted onto an 8x8 card blank.................

 

the stamp is from LOTV - Summer Church which was heat embossed with gold powder and cut out using SW California Basic Frames A in white and soft gold and then matted onto SW California Fancy Frames B.......................

 

paper clay doves coloured (I know it really doesn't show but it is very subtle) with Enchanted Gold Mica powder while still slightly wet.............................champagne silky crush ribbon and corners cut with fancy edge scissors with pearls added................................

Initials cut from Tattered Lace Retro Alphabet and mounted onto SB Scalloped and Plain Heart die cuts..........................

I hope they like it and hopefully I won't have a 'sore' head........................................
