WMS Christmas Card

Hi, Just had a really busy day and almost missed the Waltzingmouse PJ Party.

Here is my Christmas Card design, using the lovely Nordic Winter Stamps and Nutcracker Sweet Christmas Trees.

Very short post today. I will have an update on my Christmas Fair at Damerham.

Thank you for visiting,
Hope that your weekend is craft filled

Merry & Bright

Hi, this weekend I am posting a Christmas Card made for the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge No 5 using "Storm Colours" greys and blues.

My design used the Nordic Winter Stamps and for the background the mini crackle design, stamped in the grey shades and the blues. The sentiment is from "Around Christmastime". All stamps are from Waltzingmouse Stamps

I used a favourite Saturday Sketchbook idea as the basis for my design.

And made use of my Spellbinders dies for the reindeer decorated bauble and circular doily.

Hope that you have a craft filled weekend

Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge

Hi,

I am starting my week with yet another Waltzingmouse Stamps Challenge. This time the fanatics challenge No 4, a sketch design.

I chose to use a Spellbinder 3D Embossing as the background : Persian Splendour using a milk coloured card. Then the feature of my card, Waltzingmouse Stamps, Cameo Creations for the centre piece, raised up above Spellbinders Noble Rectangle, Edged with Venetian Accents, also used  for the sentiment stamp which is from Country Labels No 4
To produce the swirled band I used a die from the Damask Acents over stamped with the musical backgrounds stamp, As my sentiment was  "You are my Sunshine" I thought musical notes would be appropriate !!

I had lots of fun thinking of this design, although I need to improve my photographs, you can just see that there is embossing in the background but it is not too easy to make out the detail of the Noble Rectangle & Venetian Accents Dies. If you click on the photo to enlarge it, it is much clearer !!

Thank you for visiting.

A Thank You Card - Waltzingmouse Stamps

Hi,

Enjoyed the Waltzingmouse PJ Party Card challenges so much I have made a card for the Sketch Challenge, using the Folk Art Medallion Stamp Set. It is a very simple and straightforward card using the sketch design below.

My card is greys, lilacs and plum colours, although in the photograph the grey looks more of a green shade.

Again I made use of my Spellbinders dies for the background to the flower.

I am currently busy crafting, as usual,  using our own alpaca fleece that has been mill spun for me to crochet shawls for a Christmas Fair that I will be attending locally in Damerham on 23rd November.

Thank you for visiting,
I love to read all your comments and thank you for them.

Halloween Card

Hi,

I have just purchased these lovely stamps from Waltzingmouse Stamps, they are brilliant. All Hallows Eve, I just had to create a card for their PJ Party, Halloween and Green theme.

I used the Spooky Tree Stamp as well for the black background on the green card. I love my Spellbinders dies too.

Looking forward to more card crafting at the weekend, if the weather is wet.
