Bluebell and Presents

I have a cute Christmas Bluebell image to share today in quite a CAS design.  I have cut a nestie shape into the middle of my backing paper before sticking it onto my card base.  I then matted the cut shape onto deep red card and stuck it back direclty over the cut area on the card base. This technique only uses one piece of designer paper, but it creates a sort of frame that I quite like.  Simple and economical! :0)

Card Recipe:

• Image - Wild Rose Studio Bluebell and Presents
• Typed Sentiment (Wendy Medium font)
• Colouring - Copics
• Cardworks Card base
• Graphic 45 12 Days of Christmas paper pad
• Neenah Classic Crest White Stamping Card
• Momento Stamp Pad Ink
• Pearls
• Red Burlap Twine
• Charm (from the kit)
• Memory Box Evergreen Landscape die
• Viva Pearl Pen - Ice White

Happy crafting

Nordic Christmas Kit - Annabelle and Tree

Morning all and welcome to the fourth day of our Christmas in July event!

As you know already, to help take the stress out of your Christmas card making this year, we have put together some lovely little Christmas kits. For today’s card, I have used some of the items from the ‘Nordic Christmas - Annabelle with Tree' Kit which is available to buy in our online shop. 

 

One of the advantages of this new range of kits is that they allow you to try out different products without buying a complete pack…and of course, if you find you like them, you can then always buy more of each item separately! They also make great gifts for friends or relatives!

                                               Card Recipe:

Stamps: Wild Rose Studio ‘Annabelle and Tree’ (in the ‘Nordic Christmas kit); Molly Blooms ‘Merry Christmas’ (text)

Papers: First Edition ‘Nordic Christmas’ (in the ‘Nordic Christmas Kit)

Card:  Bazzill ‘Kraft’ (from the Nordic Christmas Kit 1’); Craftwork Cards ‘Straight Edge’ Card Pack

Embellishments: Ranger liquid pearls –‘Opal;  Deco-Arts glamour dust - crystal; May Arts ‘Ivory Crotchet’ lace; May Arts ‘Natural Burlap Twine’ (in the’ Nordic Christmas Kit); button from the Pastel Button Mix (in the ‘Nordic Christmas Kit)

I hope you enjoy the rest of your week! 

Big hugs,

Cherry Blossom

Yay, it's Saturday so it's Annette here with a card to share for The Stamp Basket.  I've used my favourite Saturated Canary Rubber called Cherry Blossom, and painted her with my DI reinkers.  It gives a really soft appearance but does appear to make her hair grey rather than black!  For my first attempt at painting this image I was actually quite pleased with the result on the dress, face and tree. I might need a bit more practice on hair though!!  I hope you like her as much as I do.

Card Recipe:

• Image - Cherry Blossom from Saturated Canary
• Cardworks Shaped Card base
• Papers Graphic 45 Secret Garden Patterns and Solids
• Bo Bunny Doilies
• Purple Card
• Colouring Medium - Distress Ink Reinkers
• Spellbinders Lacey Circles
• Memory Box - Evergreen Landscape
• La La Land Heart Banner (heart cut outs)
• Liquid Pearls
• 3mm Snow White pearls
• Sewing Machine

Happy crafting
Annette
