Spirited Snowmen

Hello there

it's way too hot here again......for me anyway......

so luckily I can hide indoors and catch up on crafty stuff!

I have not been making many christmas cards this year,

so thought it was about time to catch up a bit.......

I bought Spirited Snowmen at the end of the last christmas catalogue,

so that I'd have something new to play with .....

it hasn't seen much play time until now.

I have used a lot of old tools on these, but similar products are available!

I set about embossing with Northern Flurry on a few white toppers,

stamped my snowmen in various poses :)

and coloured them in, doing a bit of body shadowing in pale blue

Die cut some snowflakes from Seasonal Layers Thinlits,

using snippets of card.

Tip: check your stash for elements you may not realise you have!

Stamped some background snowflakes,

and added sentiments using dies on scraps of card and vellum

I found some swirls on Beautiful Blizzard, and Merry Christmas to all,

adding some movement on the imaginary "ice"

Added some fine silver thread behind the circle above, hard to see!

I then added some glitter to bits of embossing, his boots and hat

They made me smile.......hope they do you!

I've used lots of snippets so it's about time I visited the Snippets Playground!

Do go and look, Di runs a fabulous blog, and challenges,

and has the cutest dog!

Hot news!

Sail away

Hello there

hope all is well with you and yours

have you had a good weekend?

I did hedge and bramble hacking yesterday,

but rewarded with lunch with friends today.

Did this on holiday recently.....an SU stamp with a magazine freebie..

A simple A6  fold back card , I had to extend the stamp across the width,

die cut the lighthouse, then did some gentle watercolouring...

a bit too gentle I think... a bit wishy washy?!

and can you spot the deliberate mistake?

funny how we only notice when taking a picture! does that happen to you?

I inked the edge of the sentiment to make it stand out a little.

Certainly no masterpiece, but was fun to do, and I had limited supplies with me!

See you soon

Lesley

Magnolia Lane

Hello

here with some beautiful Magnolia Lane papers

they are just soooo elegant,

I ended up making quite a few as they were so easy to work with,

and made some very quick cards

Above I stamped the border that coordinates with the pretty edge die,

although I only discovered it when I'd nearly finished them all!

I cut a frame from one of the papers, and the flower above is cut from the paper with a matching die

(love it when SU do that !!!!!)

sometimes all you need is a sentiment....

....or a simple flower stamped in matching mossy meadow, and left white

stitched dies add interest...

double sided paper makes it easy to mix and match

I gutted the whole flowers from the paper,

before using it as a mat 

who would know?!

Thread, sequins, pearls, rhinestones and die cut leaves add finishing touches

If you'd like to order some of the paper or anything else,

see details below or send me a message.

I'm always happy to help!
