Deja vu?

You might think you've seen  these cards before - well, you have seen similar, but this is a new batch made at the request of a friend. The beautiful Inkadinkado angel stamp was inked with versamark and heat embossed with silver detail powder, with just some glitter strips and peel off greetings added. This time I used deep blue card blanks instead of black (the colour is quite deep irl). Sorry, picture is very poor - no chance to take another as I needed to give the cards to my friend.

These are for:

Thank goodness for Anna Griffin supplies

Yesterday and today I needed to make 35 cards for John to send to members of his bowls club, so I resorted to using supplies - papers, sentiments, die cuts (some of which were originally 3D, but I separated them to keep the cards flat to save on postage - from Anna Griffin, some of which I've had for quite some time, to make batches of cards. Here are some of them (more to follow). I'm linking these for Pixie's crafty snippets week 50 and Hiding in my craftroom 75: super scraps Saturday because I've used offcuts from some of these to use on others.

CHNC challengte 102: Deer, deer, me ... let's see a reindeer or two

Christmas is getting closer and closer and you may be like me and still need to make some cards (despite making them throughout the year). If you still need to make some more, why not include a reindeer or two and take part in my CHNC challenge 102? The challenge is being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps, so my card includes their 'reindeer skate' image, coloured with copics and the oval cut with a nestie. The background paper is an offcut of a 12 x 12 paper that I bought long, long ago - so this is my first (and probably last!) card of the week for Pixie's crafty snippets week 49 - also for Hiding in my craft room 75: super scraps Saturday.

Flowers are prima and the sentiment was generated on my dymo letratag.

Another card using papers and die cuts from the Kaisercraft turtle dove range. I slit the nest so that the bird can sit in it.

Kaisercraft comes to the rescue

When we were in Eastbourne in September I bought a few goodies from That Craft Place  - just couldn't resist the Kaisercraft turtle dove papers and die cut shapes. So today I'm showing some cards I made last evening - they almost made themselves because the papers and die cuts really need nothing more added.

This is the first one I made using various papers and elements. Colours are for Pals paper arts 148: seasons greetings colour challenge:

A host of angels

I still need to make lots of Christmas cards, so last night I had a session of stamping and embossing using the lovely Inkadinkado angel trail stamp inked with versamark and either heat embossed with gold detail or silver detail powder. I've come to the conclusion that the silver looks much better than the gold. The gold has a dull appearance - I think the powder must be getting old and tired ... just like me!

I added some Paper Cellar glitter strips down the sides of the cards and added some peel off greetings at the top right hand corners - these are some of the remains of peel offs that I must have bought over ten years ago - it's about time they were used or thrown away. Some of the card blanks are black stardream that sparkles.

That's another eleven cards done (unfortunately, two didn't make the grade because there were marks on the stamping that shouldn't have been there - but I won't waste them, I'll just use the card blanks with patterned paper covered over them.

These are for:
