Pear Congrats

Hi Everyone,

I hope you had a great weekend.  I did, catching up with family at our Annual Cox family Christmas which is also an opportunity to see my Grandma just before her birthday.  She actually turned 95 today.  We went from the family do in Maleny down to Brisbane and stayed with my youngest Sister for the remainder of the weekend so that my youngest to could attend her first Rock Festival ever held at the Riverstage in Brisbane.  Consequently I had no cards posted over the weekend, but I did get a new card finished today.  Come and look.




The cardstock used is Old Olive and Basic Black.  The pear paper comes from the Designer pack called Farmers Market.  I added some Natural ribbon to the card and layered my Congrats greeting from the Expressions Natural Elements pack onto Black card and an Old Olive tag cut with the Lots of Labels framelits.





Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great day.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
