To stitch or not to stitch?

Despite being the second time that I have used this fish tail die set, I discovered that I had not bought the stitched version as intended! So being a crafty crafter, I've improvised with a gel pen...as you do!

Recipe:

Stamp: Wild Rose Studio - Nativity Play,
Dies: MFT Dienamics - Jumbo Fishtail Banner Stax,
Punch: Martha Stewart - Aspen Snowflake

Nativity Play

Hi everyone, it's Annette with you today sharing a card using a Wild Rose Studio image from The Stamp Basket called Nativity Play.

I've used a Whimsy Holiday Notables sentiment stamp and matching shaped Notables 1 Die. These are just amazing as they look fabulous in their fancy shapes.  I also am using the Memory Box Poppy Stamps Die Antique Lamp Post for the first time which I think is perfect for a traditional type of card.  I've given it a bit of highlight with a white gel pen.

The gorgeous Red Satin Ribbon really shows up the pretty pearl brad which holds it on the card base.  I push the brad through the backing papers before sticking them down so that the ribbon stays on nice and strongly.

Hope you like my card.

All items are from The Stamp Basket as follows:

• Image - Wild Rose Studio Nativity Play
• Card base - Elegant Square
• Papers - Kaisercraft Twig & Berry
• Sentiment - Whimsy Holiday Notables & Notables 1 Die
• Border die - Memory Box Frosty Border Die
• Lamp Die - Memory Box Poppy Stamps Die Antique Lamp Post

Hi everyone.  It's Annette here today to share a card using a sweet image from The Stamp Basket.

Yes, it is another Christmas card.  But it is nearly November, so Christmas is only 8 weeks away.  (Considering I was making Christmas cards in January, I'm not entirely sure that excuse works, but I'm sticking to it!)

This new flourish die is just amazing.   I LOVE IT.   I loved the corner bow but this one is fantastic too.

These Kaisercraft papers are also adorable. My favourite so far is the one I've used on the top half.  It's so romantic and pretty.

All items are from The Stamp Basket as follows:

• Image - Wild Rose Studio Nativity Play
• Card base - Elegant Edge
• Colouring - Distress re-inkers 
• Papers - Kaisercraft Turtle Dove
• Flourish Die - Memory Box in Cardinal red card

Nativity Play

Hi all,

I have a card to show you today using one of my favourite Christmas images from the third Wild Rose Studio Christmas Collection called ‘Nativity Play’.  

 

The gorgeous papers are from the Magnolia Sweet Crazy Love Collection…I thought the colours were just right for a contemporary nativity card...and they are in our mid season sale!   

The snowflakes have been made using two of the four dies that come in the Spellbinders Snowflake Pendant set - such good value for the price!

The sentiment is a Molly Blooms text stamp (just love these stamps...and its in the sale!) and the tag has been made using the Memory Box Pocket Gift Tag (with the pocket bit chopped off!)....the pocket is great for holding little pressies like high street gift cards, that you can tuck into a handmade Christmas or Birthday card! This die is also currently in our mid season sale!

All products used are available at The Stamp Basket

Stamps: Wild Rose Studio ‘Nativity Play’; Molly Blooms 'With love' (text) (in the sale!)

Papers: Magnolia Sweet Crazy Love ‘Vintage Turquoise’ and ‘Cloudy Turquoise Hearts’ (in the sale)
