Tuesday Craft Club Cards




These are the cards we made at this weeks craft club. Love the triple fold card with the Sugar Nellie's and cute verse. This was a real pelasure to make and really pleased with the end result.
Inkadinkadoo stamps were used for the Poinsettia card. Image coloured and matted and layered with red Bazill and gold mirri card. The red ribbon really finishes this one perfectly. Thanks to Andrea, as always for her brillaint inspiration.

Mamma Mia!!

As you have probably guessed by my new playlist, I have been to see Mamma Mia and what a fabulous film! If you haven't seen it and you are a fan of Abba (as I am), then its a must see! I thoroughly enjoyed it, its a 'feel good' film. I could have sat there and watched it over again and Pierce Brosnan, phoar!! He should stick to acting though, his singing voice isn't that brilliant, but hey...his body more than makes up it! Can't wait for the DVD and I just gotta have the CD!

Made using the Cuttlebug 'with love' embossing border folder and 'Diamonds in the Rough' folder. Stamped sentiment and cut circles using Nestabilities with Cuttlebug. Chalked to give a hint of colour.

Rosalie and her bicycle

This is one of my favouite stamped images. Used Prisma pencils and sansador, doodled frame a added stickles glitter. Added little cotton bows and sentiment.

Snowman & Snowflake Santa


A couple of cards made using my trusty old Cuttlebug. Stamped and coloured with Prisma pencils and added stickles glitter. The Merry Christmas sentiment is an Inkadinkado stamp.

Christmas Candles

Well I finally had a go at stamping these candles and they were so easy! I followed a tutorial and here are the links:
www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/stampedcandles.php
or www.stampin.com/tips/candles.htm

You have to make sure you pull the greasproof paper really tightly when heating with the heat gun and I 'polished' the candles and image with a soft cloth when cool.
