Thankful

This is another card that I have created using a Kelly Purkey card kit from 2012/2013, I am desperately trying to use up some of my old stash.  I need to make some space in my craft room, especially as it is Crafter's Companion's 16th Birthday week, have you seen all of the fabulous new launches!

For this one I have used three of the patterned papers and two of the solid papers from the 6 x 6 Basic Grey Persimmon paper pad that was in the kit.  I stamped a sentiment that was also in the kit and cut it out with my Die-namics Fishtail Flag die, I placed a couple of tags from the kit in the little pocket that I created and added a sticker and some gems.

Be the Sunshine

I have been using up some more very old stash again, this is a Kelly Purkey card kit, I think it is from 2012/2013 like the Simon Says Stamp one that I previously used.

I have used three of the patterned papers and two of the solid papers from the 6 x 6 Basic Grey Persimmon paper pad that was part of the kit.  I stamped a Crafter's Companion sentiment on the reverse of one of the Journal cards and added a die cut flower and a couple of fishtail flags.

Home Sweet Home

Some friends of ours are moving home this week and this is a small gift that I have made for them.  I saw something similar to this for sale on one of the handmade sites and thought to myself, I could make that, the one that I saw was made with fabric but mine is paper.

I have used old stash again, some very old papers along with a frame that I have had for ages.  I cut the house, windows, door and trees and just roughly drew around the outside with black pen.  The background is two pieces of Craft Consortium Grunge paper and I used Hunkydory dies to cut the letters from more scraps of paper.

Vintage Christmas Tree - Rudolph Days

This is my card for the April Rudolph Days Challenge, I have used my Stamperia Winter Botanic collection.

Everything is from the Winter Botanic collection with the exception of the ticket sentiment which is from my stash, I don't have a clue where it came from! I have inked all the edges to keep with the vintage feel of the papers and fussy cut the holly, I cut the banners with my Die-namics Fishtail Flags dies - these must be some of the most used dies in my collection.

I would like to enter this card into the April Rudolph Days Challenge.

Winter Greetings

I have been playing with my Stamperia Winter Botanic collection again.  It's so nice to just play with my stash now that I have no Design Team commitments, having said that, I need to get on and make some cards for a magazine commission this week!

Everything is from the collection, I have inked the edges of everything and used my Die-namics Fishtail Flags die to create the banners.  I used an old tag die that I have had in my stash for ages to cut the sentiment out and added a little scrap of ribbon tied with a twine bow.

Blue Birthday

Another card using my very old Kaisercraft Indigo Skies paper pad, I'm really enjoying discovering what I have hiding in my stash.

As before, all of the papers and the sentiments are from the pad, I cut the tags with my Hunkdory Fancy Edge Tag Punch - these punches are so useful, you can punch tags in three different widths and any length you wish.  The flowers are Tattered Lace Flower Forming dies and I've added Marianne Design enamel dots and hearts.

Deck the halls!

Another Christmas card today and another Tim Holtz Blueprint Tree.

This time I stamped onto Joanna Sheen's Elegance Satin card stock and coloured with Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens.  I used papers from my First Edition Silent Night Paper Pad and the remains of the inky background that I used for my Snowman card - I distressed and inked the edges of the image and papers.  The sentiment is another from Kirsty Wiseman
