Season of Joy Trees

I'm not sure if I've posted this one before, so if I have I'm sorry. I love the Season of Joy stamp set as it's so versatile. I've just used the tree in this card, but the set has lots of fab images & the swirl can be used all year round.

The DSP was the Bridesmaid foiled one that is sadly discontinued & I used my Cherry Cobbler ink pad to colour the areas that were not foiled. Love this effect.

Serene Dasher

I love the Dasher stamp & it works so well with Serene Snowflakes, the colour combo is Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue & Whisper White with a little Platinum Shimmer Paint.

This card can be made in batches by making whole sheets of the pattern, then stamping the Dasher panels together.

Happy Crafting,

Soft Holly

Sorry the picture is a little blurry, but I hope you get the drift of the design.

I kept it simple with the tree to one side, with a little tearing & daubing the edges & the Soft Holly roller as a border.

Delightful Decorations Workshop

Some of my ladies came over & we made a couple of these cards each.

We started off with a 12" square piece of Very Vanilla Which we cut down to 2 5" strips. The card was scored at 5" then the long side was folded in half. A circle was cut out of the folded side to create the semi-circular apeture.

Next we roller stamped with the back panel with So Swirly in our choice of colour, & used the swirl from the Season of Joy set to stamp around the apeture (I tried using the So Swirly but the pattern was too busy).

2 panels were cut from matching colour card stock & punched the borders, they were adhered to the card as shown. A piece of ribbon was added to the front border and a piece of Elastic Cord was stuck into the crease to hold the ornament. The front panel was then stuck down to hide the ribbon & cord.

Finally we stamped & cut out 2 ornaments & stuck them on either side of the Elastic Cord.

The ladies loved making these and as you can see, I've made a few! :)

Baja Breeze Photo Frame

I have decorated this frame to give to my eldest sister for her birthday, her bedroom is decorated in this colour so I thought she'd like this to put on her dressing table.

I used a bare basics photo frame from Do Crafts (cost £1.09) and first covered the whole frame (back and front) with Whisper White Craft ink, using a sponge dauber. I let the ink dry then applied Baja Breeze ink, again using a sponge dauber. This gives a nice soft colour all over. I let the frame dry then used Craft Whisper White ink to stamp the base layer of the flowers & Baja Breeze for the top layer. The effect is very subtle, hope she likes it!
