Christmas magic card

Well, I havent had much time lately to make my cards, I seem to have more time to order more stock though, Its Christmas round the corner now, time to start thinking about the cards for Christmas. I wanted to make Christian cards, that would be a novelty!!! I just couldnt find nice ones. So I gave in.
I have to say, Im not usually over keen on my cards I often think they arent good enough but I do like this one a lot. I have so much more to do, I could do with a few days of making more cards.

This card was made with the Stampin up range, my favourite. Christmas magic is the name of the lovely stamp set,  used together with SU s ink pads it works so well.I coloured in the train with some different felt pens I have, then went over it with wink of stella glitter pen.
I enjoyed the sponging for the background in the oval shape. You are supposed to cut it out, but I had some cards with ovals already cut out so I made the template with that. It seems the more you buy, you still need one more thing.
If you have this set, you can make the card, if you want to know anymore, dont forget to ask me, its always nice to know whos looking at my blog.

Thoughtful hydrangea card

This is a lovely hydrangea card, The cardstock colour I used is called crumb cake, with rich razzleberry. I sponged the die cut hydrangea in rich razzleberry ink. I layered it and added a few individual flowers, finally I added glossy accents. I love the use of the burlap ribbon, I ruched it by sewing it, lovely effect I think, bit different.

white shimmer meets thoughtful branches

Oh wow, I love this card, Id never have thought to do a card all white, its a shame its not good for a wedding card. It was so easy and quick to make. I added wink of stella for a bit of glitter.

Christmas time

Well, its time to start thinking of Christmas a bit now. Otherwise I know what will happen, it will be too late, I cant imagine buying cards as i have too much stuff.
Here is a card, I made with the SU range of thoughtful branches, my favourite set so far. I embossed the white card with the falling snow folder from SU. I stamped the trees, first of all with soft suede for the branches, then I used a Tim Holtz green for the trees. I tried to fade it into the background.

I am quite pleased with this for a Christmas card. I plan to make my cards mostly similar, and quite basic with not too much detail.

Autumn card and cat

I made this card using a tree die that I had for a while, I believe its by tattered lace but am not too sure, I probably could find out if anyone wanted to know, its really nice I think. It cuts it and embosses which is one of my favourites. I sponged over the bark then coloured in the leaves in Autumn colours. I stamped the fence in soft suede, and some grass. then the lovely cat in chocolate  chip ink.
I really like this card

thoughtful branches

Well, Im in the Autumn mood today with this tree card. And of course any cat picture makes a card extra nice. I used Stampin up background paper, it comes in a small pad, and has amazing background pictures on it. I used thoughtful branches tree on it and I used macaroon mint card, I stamped the same colour for the leaves. I used soft suede for the bark of the tree and the cat. The back ground card is also soft suede colour. I love the way it all matches.

Cat on post

Today I managed to make a card. Its so hard while its too hot. My craft room is the at the back of the house where the sun gets in so its a really hot room. I did have the fan on, that helped.
I love cards with cats on. So I decided to make a cat card today. Was doing pretty well with it. I got a 7" square card in white, I cut a strip for the middle, sorry I didnt measure it. I used a brayer to make it blue. I stamped the trees on it with soft suede ink from SU. I stamped it twice before re inking so that it would give the look of some trees being in the background. I had a thistle stamp, I stamped some on the card as you can see, I also cut two out. I coloured them in with wink of stella glitter pens.
The cat stamp is from Sheena Douglas, I coloured in with my pencils. The grass was stamped with a grass stamp that I already have.
Do you like wahat it says ? Cats have staff, bit mean really because they dont. Do they!!!!
Finally I stuck the blue card on with double sided tape, the cat and grass was with foam pads to give a bit of depth. the two thistles are also added on with foam pads.
