Duck in the bull rushes
I bought a duck and bull rushes set of stamps from Clarity Stamps some time ago and still hadn't inked them up until today. I've stamped them on to a ready made shaped mat, stamping the bull rushes twice so that faded ones are in the background. I coloured lightly with copics. The sentiment is Anita's. This was then mounted on to a dark brown card blank.

WOYWW 163
Before I get to show you my workspace I want to thank everyone for all the comments and good wishes for me. I think the shingles is gradually going, but it certainly is taking its time! At least now the pain is responding better to the painkillers and this morning was the first time that I didn't have to get up early because of the pain.
The main reason for this post, of course, is for WOYWW 163 - yes, it's the same number as last week as poor Julia got it wrong then, so easily done.
Most of what you see today has been blogged about already.
To my left you can see the black and gold card I made last night - can see it better here - was pleased with how that turned out. Behind the mug of coffee is a pile of recently made Christmas cards. I put inserts in and bagged and labelled, so I'm up to date with that. It was one of my new year's resolutions to do this every week to avoid having the dreadful job of having to bag up too many cards at once. I now have over 160 Christmas cards made, so I'm on track!
To the far left are cards that have recently been made using the My Craft Studio everyday essentials kit - just right for those days when I didn't feel up to much, but still wanted something to do.
To the right you can see the lovely Stampotique stamp that I used for the black and gold card and another pile of cards recently made. I used up quite a few decoupaged bits from the mesh box last week and have now put more in it to encourage me to use up supplies that I've had for years - I'd love to see that mesh box empty!
Once again, thanks to everyone who visits and for your comments - much appreciated - but I also understand that WOYWW is so popular now that it's difficult to get round to too many to comment. I'll try my best again this week.

Black and gold Christmas
For this card I've used one of my latest Stampotique Christmas stamps that I got with a voucher I won from Crazy 4 challenges a while ago. It's Christmas mosaic by Amy Wilson. I inked with versamark and heat embossed with detail gold powder on to black cardstock, then matted on to some gold paper. I then inked up a couple of favourite Inkadinkado snowflake stamps with versamark and again heat embossed with detail gold, randomly stamped directly on to the black card blank. This is for Creative card crew 15: black card stock.
I love stamping and embossing so this is my card for facebook Sunday's with Santa for Sunday 8 July to use favourite things, which also includes those background stamps.
As I've used a newly acquired stamp that hasn't been used before this is for Christmas stampin all year long 19: no inky yet!

Simply with love
I thought I'd have a break from Christmas cards and go back to the MCS everyday essentials kit, using some of the floral elements.
I've used three colours from the choice given for The cupboard trilogy 1 colour palette:
My colours are sage green, soft coral and warm pink:

Santa delivering presents
Another simple card that I made a couple of days ago, using a large Kanban topper, matted on to a large Kanban red and gold foiled card, mounted on to an A5 white card blank. The Kanban items have been in my Christmas box for a few years now - about time I used them!

Christmas boxes
It looks as if mum is laden with Christmas boxes - this is another Jolly Nation decoupage with matching paper - another offcut from the bottom of the box for Pixie's crafty snippets 29 and Hiding in my craftroom 54: super scraps Saturday. I remember that I made quite a few JN decoupage cards a few years back which is why I've found some pieces lurking at the bottom of the box.

Shepherd boys
Three very similar cards put together with some very old Paper Nation supplies - the shepherd boys are decoupaged. I just tore the edges of the paper and added some stitched ribbon.
All papers used were offcuts that had been lurking at the bottom of the box for years (and there's still more there!) so these are for Pixie's crafty snippets 29 and Hiding in my craftroom 54: super scraps Saturday.
Photos are awful - took them outside yesterday before the light faded - would take them again today, but it's raining (yet again!).

Here's another I made earlier
This is another card I made earlier - this time Santa is riding in his sleigh above the rooftops of the Kanban decoupaged image, simply mounted on a lilac 7 x 5 card blank with a sentiment. I've had this decoupaged image made up for ages, just waiting to be put on a card.

Getting ready for Christmas
Yes, I know it's a long way off, but I've been making Christmas cards throughout the year. These two are very similar, depicting a decoupaged lady loaded up with shopping. The background paper and the decoupage are Jolly Nation. I tore the edges of the paper and added a sentiment and some gingham ribbon. Both the white background and the pink background papers were offcuts, so this is my first time of the week at Pixie's crafty snippets 29 and also for Hiding in my craftroom 54: super scraps Saturday.
Everything I used for these cards was bought years ago (about time I used it) - in fact the decoupage had been made up ages ago and was waiting to be putting on cards - so this is for Waste not Wednesday 26: use your stash.

Christmas fun
It's time for another challenge for the Christmas Card Club and it was Sue's turn to pick the theme and she has asked for humorous Christmas cards. The background paper is from the Cosy Christmas collection that came with Quick Cards a month or two ago. I've used an Anita's stamp coloured simply with a red copic, mounted on to red mirror card. The wording was computer generated and also mounted on to red mirror card. The answer is on a tag tucked into the side of the picture.
