Every moment and Wanted SU cards

Well it's about time I make some stamped cards, the first is a design from Sharlene and trisha which they shared with me after being shown it at a conference or training session thing, so I don't know who designed it but glad they shared it with me... this was made especially for a friends birthday.

The next one is from the wanted set as I recently sold my bareback set and then bought the wanted one as preferred this one more...

More Christmas cards

Christmas cards are by far my favourite to make..

This first one is inspired by a femo design I saw recently in a magazine, I didn't use femo though as find it too brittle and breakable so just went with cardstock...







Next is the lovely as a tree, tree on it's side and the delighful decoration baubles hanging below....

Then a simple bauble with a Christmas saying stamped on top....











And lastly another Santa in the chimney card but this time with a more appropriate saying - from the just believe set.....

Christmas cards

Here are a couple of tonights creations - I am running low on Christmas cards so you can expect too see many more soon...
The first one is a window scene with the cat sitting in front, his hat is too big isn't it??


Next is a take off of a brayered card by Michelle Zindorf, check out her blog on the links in my bloglists... This is no where near as goos as hers and I mucked up the shadow when trying to colour it in....

Brayering - my take on Michelle Zindorf's latest creation

Here are tonights creations, a friend card with some new DSP and the Just Believe set with brayered background, after stamping 'friends' over the circle flower pattern I realised it would have been better in the middle... but never mind....







Next is a quick card froma recent trademe bargin, the one of a kind set, recently retired. I bought this set as it has 3 small blossoms in it (not used on this card) which go with the boho blossoms punch which I have on order to go with a level one hostess set I will be getting soon, so thought I'd get this set so I have another stamp to go with the punch.... (how easy it is to justify my purchases LOL!)

















And lastly my take on Michelle Zindorf's latest brayering card - check out her link on my blog list to see how her card looks.. I never seem to be able to brayer mine to look as good as hers, hopefully practice makes perfect!

Plain and simple cards

Tonight I decided to make some plain and simple cards.... They all have dazzling diamonds on them although they do not show in the photos... I used cuttlebug embossing folders which I found at the local warehouse sometime ago..... nice and simple!

Cold play and snowy play - snowmen stampsets

Another couple of trade me purchases, cold play (AKA make a snowman set) and Snowy Play...

Only had time to make some quick cards tonight but have a few ideas to try later especially with the make a snowman set....such fun, I had to make the small snowman twice as the first one ended up very fat!

Mountain landscape scene -reflection

And lastly my favourite creation of the night! A landscape scene with a deer by the mountain, with his reflection in the ice pond while snowing of course! No brayering just sponges - really pleased with how this one turned out...

Martha stewart - picket fench punch

And the last creations from last night, using my new picket fench punch, it's a very cute punch and good quality....

More brayering... little house...

I am really enjoying the brayering technique, unfortunately I still get funny streaks and blotches and definate lines. I am not sure how to avoid these apart from sponging on top... Any ideas or secrets, please let me know... thanks

Brayered sky

I thought I'd try the brayer technique again, unfortunately I am still not very good and can't work out where I am going wrong....

Check out Michelle Zindorf's site on the my blog list, she is amazing! The holiday greeting card is her design, I didn't really do it justice though.

So after trying one of Michelle's I tried four of my own creations.....

I wish she would come to New Zealand to run some classes!

Quick and easy thank you cards

Here are a few very quick and easy thank you cards...

Cuttlebug Squirrels

This is a cutie, the card is based on a design some time ago by Michelle Habib, these are very cute cuttlebug squirrels with an acorn of course.... the to you from me seemed just perfect!

Thinking of you cards

Here are some 'thinking of you' cards.... all made last night....
