The Snowman and The Robin

 

Hi Lovelies...

Today I'm sharing a card I made with a fab digi image from Lee Holland... this is Snowman with Robin. 

It's another card that I'd love to be able to show the glitter on, but I seem to be unable to get it to shine in a photograph lately... think I'm holding my mouth the wrong way! LOL!

Ho Ho Ho!!

 

Hi Lovelies...

Well as the title says, this card is  HO HO HO type card (and you know what occasion they're for!)..  with lots of red and glitter!

I used the fabulous MFT Ho Ho Ho Die - but only used one of the shapes to create my card, colouring the letters with my Copics to give them a rounded appearance.  My Santa is from the MFT Birdie Brown Jingle All The way stamp set..  I think he has to be my favourite (shhhhhh) of the Santas I have - wow, now I feel disloyal to all my other Santas!  Crazy or what?? LOL

I used 3D foam tape to adhere both the letters and the Santa to my card.

My favourite flower.... Sweet Pea

Hi There...

It's Bellarific Friday time again at Stamping Bella..  this time we are using a stamp from our Stamp of the Month range - which this time is the Garden Girls.  Of course, I needed no excuse to colour up this gorgeous Sweet Pea Garden Girl..  she has to be one of my all time favourites!  I adore sweet peas when they flower in my garden, so I have a soft spot for this girlie!

I created a shaker card that she could stand in front of.... lots of sparkle and glitter in the frame as she deserves.  I think this sentiment is absolutely perfect for the image too..  

Now, I've fussy cut a second set of flower petals so I could 3D the actual flowers, but trying to get a good photo to show that is difficult.  Hope you can see from the one below..

You can also spot my rubber stamp in the photos.... such gorgeous turquoise rubber which gives an amazing quality fine image...  I have stamps over ten years old from Stamping Bella that still stamp perfectly.

Squidgy and Teddy..

 

Hi Lovelies...

It's Bellarific Friday time again at Stamping Bella, and this time we're using images that aren't from the new release.  I love these weeks as I can spend ages deciding which to use..  that's because I have so many favourites!

But choose I had to, and I eventually went for this fabulous Squidgy and her HUGE teddy bear.  I've coloured the bear with dots, rather than solid colouring, which I think gives the effect of curly fur.  It reminds me of teddies my girls had when they were young.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

Hi Peeps...

I'm back again with yet another Christmas card.... anyone would think it's getting close!  But when I bought these fabulous stamps from Mama Elephant, I needed to play straight away!!

Joy Ornaments

Hi There...

As Christmas is in the shops now, I've been playing with the gorgeous Mama Elephant Joy Ornaments Stamps and Dies..  and this is the result of playtime yesterday.  

As us crafters know, reds are very difficult to photograph - so I hope you can imagine this is a deeper red in real life with less orange tones.

I did try to shade the reds to suggest that the letters were rounded..  I think I'm happy with the result.

Stamp and Dies - Mama Elephant Joy Ornaments

Scrap of paper from Stash

Die - MFT Rectangle (altered to make longer)
