Vintage Christmas







These are four cards I made this week, when I went to a class. I just thought it would be fun and it was. I've not done a lot of this style, but think I might do a few more as I enjoyed doing them.
Thanks for looking

Beaded Ornaments




Hi Everyone, Something a little different to show you, These are two ornaments that I've made I haven't done them in a couple of years, and thought I'd like to make a few. The first one cost me about $20.00 to make in beads and the ornament, but the time it took was about 25 hours or so, the second one doesn't cost as much and also doesn't take as much time. I've been asked if I would sell them, the first I'm not selling as it wouldn't be worth it, but the second I said I would, oops a mistake now I have to make 8 of them. So I'll be busy doing these for a while, and I have a few other's I'd like to make for myself. So anyway that's what I've been up to this week.
Take care, and thanks for looking

Hi Everyone, this is my take on the Sketch this week at Stamping 411

Stamp set: Patterned Pines (Hostess, Holiday Mini Catalogue
Designer Paper: Holiday Lounge
Card Stock, Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede
Extras: SU gold cord, star charm from stash, diamond texture plate, big shot, gold embossing powder

basically this card is straight forward, other than I used the diamond texture plate on the soft suede and doesn't really show up on the picture I took, but in person you can see it.

Warm Winter Wishes


Hi Everyone, I really liked the sketch from Stamping 411 so decided to give it another go. This time I used the level 3 the more the merrier set, and all the new in colors for coloring and the background papers and cardstock. I also added an element, hope they don't mind. I added the snowflake in the corner, punched it out then covered it in glitter, doesn't show well in the scan but looks cool in person, also added glitter to the bottom under them as well. Oh and I left off the ribbon, so the punched snowflakes on the scallops would show up better.
Thanks again for looking.

Poinsettias



This is a card I did today. It is actually the sketch from Stamping 411 Challenge, and also falls in line for the Stamp with us challenge theme of Christmas.
The base is real red followed by the green designer paper Merry Moments. then another piece of real red followed by whisper white, I used a piece of the red and ran it through the big shot with the petals of plenty embossing folder then scalloped the edge, the ribbon is dyed with the old olive ink since I ran out of the old olive ribbon, and the stamp used was from teeny tiny wishes. The flowers were from my stash.
Thanks for looking.
