This Bubba keeps me busy

Since my little man arrived on the scene I have not had much opportunity to get much done in the way craft. I have made the odd card as events and birthdays arise but otherwise trying to get things done for me just doesn't happen. I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing and being creative again but for now I will just enjoy being a mum before I return to work

Christmas Cards Vol II

I have been busy working on some more christmas cards.

I have been using my new couture creations embossing folders, smooch, glitter and bling.

I have used traditional christmas colours and some other non traditional colours this time

The first christmas tree is mounted on green card, this can also be done in red.

Colours used are Tiara and Holly

I can also do this design with Blue and Red Glitter.

I have also done this in Platinum and Copper which looks very effective, looks better with Rhinestones.

Colours used are Platinum and Copper

The other embossing folder is a bauble tree, which I have coloured some of the baubles in and added rhinestones

Colours I decided to use are Blue and Purple with Silver Stars and Sassy Pink and Purple with Silver Stars (Gold star on top of tree).

Mounted on purple cardMounted on Pink card

Mounted on Blue Card.

All cards are $2 each.

I can also do the same christmas trees as last year.

Remember to get your orders in early

Thanks

Christmas Cards

Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since I have updated my blog.

I have been very busy with my baby boy who arrived in late July. He is a fantastic little bubba and melts my heart with his beautiful smile.

Anyway enough about me, I have been asked if I'm making Christmas Cards again this year and the answer is Yes.

I have started on a few designs.

I have recently purchased some new embossing folders from craft concepts, 2 new christmas trees which I'm still working on and some Candles with holly as pictured below.

The price is still $2 each

These cards have been done with a red and green background.

The red berries are red rhinestones

Sentiments you can choose from is a selection from lilly of the valley stamps, they are:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Season's Greeting Wishing you a Joyous Christmas

Merry Christmas May your days be Merry & Bright

Merry Christmas Warmest thoughts & Best Wishes

Stay tuned for some more designs.

To ensure you have your cards with enough time for posting please order before the end of October at the latest.

Thanks

Angela

Gone Fishin.....

I picked up a new stamp set this weekend and I have a male birthday coming up.

This stamp is perfect for him!

I have coloured him using distress inks and he is looking a bit green around the gills in my photo but he doesn't really look like that. (Taking photos tonight is not proving easy with poor light and an overcast day)

I have used jute around the edge of the image for some added texture

I have tried to make it look like the sign is hanging from the jute The sketch I have used is from totally papercrafts Thanks for stopping by

Some more flower soft

I have been busy with the flower soft lately. I have made up a few of the 3D pictures now I'm slowly putting them onto cards. My mum came down for a surprise visit and needed a birthday card so I have whipped this one up for her.

I have added some lilac pearls down the side as it looked empty when I thought I'd finished

The image is from flower soft. I added the flower soft to the sections of the garden you can see from the window not through the window

I have used the sketch from Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #98

Thanks for stopping by.

Simon Says.....Domis sketch

I have found some mojo and started getting back into making some cards......finally.....

This time I have pulled out some 3D flower soft images I found when I moved everything around.

Whilst I don't have all the colours of flower soft I have adapted where needed and I think it has come up pretty well.

I have used papers from the basic grey kioshi paper pad and the cappella paper pad

Roses are from Enthaily and pearls from my stash

Birthday Time

I have many birthdays coming up and here is the first one I have managed to complete. I have used my new Magnolia Wheelbarrow with Tulips. I have coloured the image with distress inks

The grass was coloured with smooch and some smooch detail added to the tulips The Cardstock I have used is from Prima Jack and Jill paper pad

I have layered the image for a 3D look
