Christmas batch number 2

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. Today I am sharing the second of my batch made snowglobe cards.

It's quite a simple card, I have used a Woodware stamp Little Snowman which I purchased from Home Farm Crafts which I visited recently with a friend. It was nice to see everything 'in the flesh' for a change. I coloured the image with alcohol markers. The stitched circle die is Memory Box and is an old favourite.

I am sharing my card at the Rudolph Days Challenge for August

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 DT - Sketch 333

Hello and thank you for visiting my blog. Today I am sharing one of my second DT card of the month for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

This card uses sketch 333

To make my card I used an old collection from Craftwork Cards which has not been used for some time, this was the Heritage Rose collection and I also chopped up one of the Rose Garden cards which came with the set.

The white ribbon was coloured with an alcohol marker to match the coloured flowers and the metallic pearls are from stash. The circle dies are Spellbinders and the base card is 6x6.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges

Christmas Robin

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today.

Today I am sharing 1 of the 10 cards I made to using some old snowglobe shaped cards which were purchased from Craftwork Cards many moons ago.

To make my card I paper pieced a Woodware stamp - Little Red Robin using some First Edition papers, the holly leaves and berries were coloured with alcohol markers.

The sentiment is from another Woodware stamp - Little Snowman. The circle edges were inked with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink. The circle dies are from Memory Box.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 DT - using sketch 331

  Hello and welcome to / back to my blog. Today I am  sharing a DT card for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. This one is using sketch 331

Here is the sketch designed by Kathie

Due to the heat in the craft room when I made my DT cards for this month the Hobby House box was searched again for a set with an oval  topper and this pretty kit caught my eye which also had the matching cardstock in the pouch. The oval die for the mat is My Favourite Things and the bow die is a favourite from Stampin Up. The pearls are also from the Hobby House. 

Most of the stash is vintage but having been saving up for retirement for a few years it is now the time to use it all, if only it weren't so hot in the roof lol!
