Love

Patterned papers are by Graphic 45
The heart die-cut is by Docrafts, I cut it in two and stamped and heat embossed a script stamp, then added a little gilding wax.

The vellum quote is an old one I found in my stash, I secured it with a die-cut button.
Finished card is 7 x 7 inches.

Sweet

Stamps are by Docrafts. I've heat-embossed with white and gold powders.

Inside I made a simple open box, punching a 'bite' using an SU scalloped punch. The biscuits are (box of 48) from Costco but also available on Amazon, they work out less than 20p per pack so a fun addition to the card.

Poppies

For one of my lovely ladies. Joan's favourite flowers are poppies so every year I try to make a card with them on.

This is an 8- inch swing card, card blank is from Crafter's Companion.

The poppy stamp set is an old one from Docrafts and I've decoupaged it. Alphabet dies from eBay and I have no idea what brand the leaf die is.

Season's Greetings

I managed to find some gorgeous shimmery purple card at one of the fill-a-box places recently and knew it would be great for Christmas cards.
I've used a Docrafts embossing folder on the gold card, and stamped and heat embossed (with clear powder) on the purple using a HOTP swirl stamp.


The bauble and sentiment stamps are by Waltzingmouse, dies are by Spellbinders.
The finished card is 7 x 7 inches.

Clocks

Toppers and embossing folder are Docrafts (not sure if they are Papermania or what but definitely under the Docrafts umbrella)

Not much crafting lately as I've been taking advantage of the nice weather :)

Cricket Teddy

Topper is Docrafts
Sentiment is Craftwork Cards
I've stamped a SU circle stamp with clear ink and clear embossing powder on to navy card-stock
The gold/ brown strip has a nice shimmer to it that isn't picked up on the photo.

Thinking Of You

Don't know why the ribbon looks very odd on here, it does 'go' better in real life and doesn't look so lost! How strange (I think I need to learn how to take photos, my snap-and-go is just not cutting it, is it?)

Sentiment die is by Tattered Lace, 'Willow Twigs' stamp is by Inkylicious

Hugs

Sentiment die is Simon Says Stamp
Doily die is X-Cut
Spritzing ink is gold Artiste by Docrafts

Hugs

This is the die-cut related to the previous post, die is by Simon Says Stamp.
I used spritzing ink by Docrafts and the left side of the card had a heavier layer of ink so I chopped it off and re-mounted it to the right for a bit of interest before adding some sequins.

Hugs

The 'Hugs' sentiment was made by spraying ink through the negative of a die-cut.
The die itself is by Simon Says Stamp, I'd cut it to use on another card but rather than throw the negative away I was experimenting with a new bottle of spritzing ink.

The ink is from Docrafts Artiste, colour is 'mint', and it has a lovely shimmer to it that the photograph does not show. It's the first time I'd used this product, I think it's good value at £4.95 a bottle.

I know some people aren't keen on Docrafts, when I first started crafting it was so readily available that I bought a lot of it (Anita's peel-offs and rubber stamps that I couldn't stamp without getting a halo round each image!). My local garden centre is just over a mile away from our house and they stock Docrafts so it's really handy for nipping in for basics.

The other dies I used for layering are by Quickutz and the butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch.

Boofle

Image is Boofle by Docrafts.
I've added a button and some twine plus faux stitching.

Tilda

A quick card.
Image is 'Tilda' (not Magnolia, a different Tilda).
Punch is by Martha Stewart and patterened paper is Forever Friends by Docrafts.

Tilda

Main image is Tilda (not the Magnolia Tilda!). I bought a pack of four sheets of assorted Scandinavian style images from Samuel Taylors near Skipton - haven't seen them anywhere else and can't find them online.

I struggled to match the main colour of the horse, it's not beige and it's not green and it's not brown....

Sitting at craft club wondering how to match the colour up and then Sandra walked in with a pile of card she got at a car boot sale for 50p. She had the exact shade I needed!

I kept the rest of the card simple because anything extra looked fussy and I wanted a clean style.

Stripy paper is Forever Friends by Docrafts.

Anniversary

Papers used are from a Forever Friends pad by Docrafts, mounted on plain black card.

The sentiment stamp is by Debbi Moore (I was going to print something on the computer but am out of ink so used this instead).

The image is a Paper Nation stamp, coloured with Copics.

Robin Hood

I don't actually like this card! Someone sent me a few Magnolia images that I would not normally use but waste not want not.

I think because I did not care for the images I couldn't get motivated with them.

Anyway coloured with Copics, patterned paper is Forever Friends by Docrafts.

Sentiment is Craftwork Cards layered using Stampin Up punches.
