Golden Bell Christmas card.

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? This is what some people refer to as hump day the middle of the working week. I will be off out to invigilate a bit later today. Only one more day to go after this and on Friday I will be helping at a Felting Workshop. This time I think we are going to make a cover for a notebook.

I think I am starting to get on top on my Christmas card makes. But I couldn't resist having another play with the Golden Bell image from Beccy's Place.

For the background I used the Snowflake Square die from John Next Door and over the top I placed his Ivy Spray dies.

This is the Golden Bell image it is available HERE. I used the precoloured version I just added some blue around the image with one of my Promarkers and a Blender.

This is the Happy Christmas die from the Happy Snowflakes set from John Next Door.

This card is nice and flat for posting.

A batch of Poinsettia and Snowflake themed Christmas cards

Hello my Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you had a good weekend. Ours didn't go exactly as planned. We did eventually get to the 60th birthday party in London. We arrived in the right road and we knocked on the house we had been given the number for. Only the person there knew nothing about a party, he was very nice about it. We went off and stood some way off and tried to phone - no luck. Just then our friend drove by and stopped and told us the right address. The number we had been given was 8 out. Later we got home to news that our son-in-law had fallen on his arm arm and was in pain. On Sunday our daughter took him to A&E and he came home with in a plaster. They suspect he has broken his elbow. So we popped over to them to visit.

A little while ago I mentioned that I needed to make a batch of Christmas cards for the people that my husband works with. Eventually I came up with a design and I managed to get them finished yesterday.

In the background is some gorgeous Crafter's Companion patterned card. Over this I place the Snowflake Square die from John Next Door cut in white glitter card.

This is John's Happy Christmas die cut in gold with a black shadow.

I used the poinsettia dies and the matching stamps to make the poinsettias. The dies and stamps make so many flowers at a time. I still have some left to use on another project. The ivy die was cut in green glitter card. I only used one die cut ivy on each card I snipped them apart so more showed around the flowers.

Here they all are together. They aren't exactly the same but I think they make a nice set. My husband is pleased with them. He did ask for 10 but being me I made 12 just in case. Of course they won't go to waste if he doesn't need them.

Enjoy the rest of the week

Snowflake Square Christmas Card.

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I haven't got so much planned this week so I am hoping to make some more Christmas cards. This year I am so behind on my makes. I think we are going to have to buy some cards. At least the postage will be cheaper I do find it hard to make flat cards.

Last week we had a lovely meal with some friends at a local pub. While we were there picked up there Christmas menu. When I saw it I realised that I would be able to use some of the images to make Christmas cards.

I have been finding it hard to craft. When I get going it is alright it is the starting that is the problem. I did treat myself to some of John Next Door's new Christmas dies. That did seem to help a bit. The background paper is the cover of the Christmas leaflet from the pub. I cut the Snowflake Square die in white glitter card the grey mat behind and the black mat with the die set.

I used the Poinsettia stamp set with the matching dies. The flowers were shaped with a ball tool and make. The Ivy Spray die was cut in green glitter card.
