Little Lady Bug

It's Annette back here today using another Saturated Canary rubber stamp from The Stamp Basket today.  This one is called Little Lady Bug.  It's turned out as a monochrome red card, but she just seemed to need some red and I think I got carried away!  I've also glittered her to the max with glossy accentscrystal glamour dust and a touch of Stickles just to top it off!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and happy crafting

Elf Maya and Kitty Writing Santa's List

It's Annette here again, and for those of you who visited yesterday, I promised a real cutie today, and I think I have to say that this card is one of my favourites this year.  The image is Elf Maya & Kitty writing Santa's List from The Stamp Basket.

I'm not sure whether it is the pretty papers, cute image, rich chocolatey colours (they are chocolate brown not black by the way), simple layout, fab dies or just that the whole card seems to encompass everything that is my style.

Oh dear, I really sound like I'm blowing my own trumpet here, but this was just one of those cards that I looked at when I'd finished and I thought "I'd like to keep this one"!

Hopefully you all know what I'm trying to say, and I hope you have had more of those types of cards than I seem to have had, as opposed to my mojo going AWOL whenever I sit down to craft.

Anyhoo, before I drivel on and bore you silly (too late, huh!) here's my card ...

Hanging Gifts


Hi all,
I have a contemporary card to show you today using an image from the latest Wild Rose Studio Christmas Collection called ‘Hanging Gifts’....such a special time and always full of fond memories…


I decided on a contemporary card this time and thought the gorgeous, subtle shades of colour in the Magnolia Sweet Crazy Love Collection papers were just right!    

The snowflakes have been made using two of the four dies that come in the Spellbinders Snowflake Pendant set which have been glitzed with stickles! The smallest flake has been layered on the Memory Box Corner Bow…this die produces such lovely delicate die-cuts, nicely filling two corners of this project, and just perfect for enhancing so many Christmas or other special occasion projects!  

Card Recipe:

Stamps: Wild Rose Studio ‘Hanging Gifts’ (on special offer with 10% off until 9-00a.m. Wednesday)

Don't forget there is a special offer on over at The Stamp Basket on all Wild Rose Studio products including papers, printed panels and stamps...up to 25% off until 9-00a.m. GMT Wednesday morning!! 

...AND some more exciting news before I go...the new release of Saturated Canary stamps will be on pre-order at The Stamp Basket tomorrow...and they are fab-u-lous! 
I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! 

Big hugs,

Janet xx

Baby Jesus

It's Annette here with today's card using a sweet image from Nellie Snellen called Baby Jesus.  I've painted it with my Distress re-inkers but I had a small mishap because I mistakenly coloured Mary's foot green when I was painting her head scarf.  I couldn't then colour it the same colour as her face, so instead I pretended she was wearing shoes, and coloured it chocolate brown instead.

I think I will try to colour this image again sometime soon and see if I can improve!

Christmas Letters

Hello everyone.  It's Annette here today to share a card on behalf of The Stamp Basket.  I've made another Christmas card in some lovely traditional colours.

I've used the gorgeous corner bow in red card and it looks amazing on the contrasting papers.  I really love these holly dies too. They have a lovely embossed finish and can be decorated with pearls or liquid pearls for holly.

Red & Green Cutie

Hello Everyone.

It's Annette with you here today with my first post as a guest designer at The Stamp Basket.

It was exactly a week ago today when a hefty package dropped on my doormat from Janet.  She'd packed me up such a beautiful array of products to showcase that I hardly knew where to start.

Here's the result of my first bout of creativity.  It's also my first ever card using Bildmalarna images so this is really new for me.  The cute girlie looks like a little doll in her red coat and green scarf.

I've also fallen in love with the Memory Box Corner Bow die which is just perfect for this size of card (6inches).  It looks stunning on a contrasting coloured background.

The gorgeous satin ribbon is fabulous and you can see the sheen on it from the picture.  The papers are also pretty, and I've edged the scalloped card base with Stickles to give it some sparkle.

Have a fab weekend.

Annabelle and Tree...


Hi everyone. I hope you are having a lovely weekend and making the most of the fab weather we are having!! I have a card to show you today from the Wild Rose Studio Annabelle’s Christmas collection called ‘Annabelle and Tree’.  The papers are also Wild Rose Studio Annabelle’s Christmas...this pack is full of traditional rich Christmas reds and holly greens…my favourite! Both the stamp and papers are on special offer this weekend at The Stamp Basket!


 The sentiment has been die cut from the new Memory Box Typewriter Upper Alphabet die set…these letters are just the right size for card making and scrapbooking...I’ve started a list of words to add to my Christmas cards…JOY, PEACE, NOEL, LOVE, CHRISTMAS….the possibilities are infinitesimal…the lettering adds such a different dimension to the usual embellies!
The corner bow is cut from one of the new Memory Box dies….as with many of the Memory Box dies, this is a beautiful delicate die which really enhances a project…and of course, it can be used all year round like the Alphabet sets….ooh, and before I forget, there’s a special offer on the Alphabet sets too, if you buy the lower and upper case letter sets together!
 
Here's a close up of the image coloured with copics:
 
 
 

Recipe:

Embellishments: 3mm, 4mm and 5mm The Hobby House snow white pearls (excellent quality for the price!); Deco Art glamour dust; Ranger Stickles - star dust; Inkssentials opaque pen - white (snowflakes on hat, bows, tree decorations...and the dog!)

Many thanks for your lovely comments over the past few weeks – we do appreciate hearing from you so much. 
Enjoy the rest of your day!
Hugs,

Janet xx
