Chloe

Another project for my club ladies.
We used an 8" scallop circle card blank.
All stamps are by Chloe Endean. We heat embossed on white shimmer card and also on acetate.

Mum

Card I made for my mum's birthday last week.

I used stamps by Papermania and the patterned papers are by DCWV, the floral paper is foiled.
Finished card is 8 x 8 inches.

Camera

Sentiment stamp by Papermania
I borrowed the camera stamps (think they are Tim Holtz?) heat embossed with black powder.

I've scattered some embossing enamel and added faux stitching.

Flowers Bloom

Inspired by SU demo Emma Goddard who makes amazing cards.

Stamps, cord, and embossing folder are all Stampin' Up!

Thinking Of You

Main stamp is a cheapy from China, sentiment stamp by JustRite
I've heat embossed with white powder, on white shimmer card, then smooshed Colour Cloud inks over the top.

The net is from B&Q, it's sold as "Grout haze removing cloth" and works out very cheap indeed! much cheaper than cheesecloth but looks virtually the same.

Noel

Inspired by a card by Chloe Endean. I've used Chloe heart and snowflake border stamps. The noel sentiment is by JustRite, the deer die is a cheapie from China, tag die is Sue Wilson.

Please excuse the terrible blending (Colour Cloud ink). I didn't use enough and then decided to add a glitter border, realised I'd not inked enough and tried to add more but the glitter got in the way...I'm not sending the card to anyone it was just a sample for card club, I could not be bothered to sit and make another one with better blending!

Peace

I couldn't get a decent pic of this one.
Card is 8 x 8 inches and I used a Chloe stamp with die by Tonic

The centre panel started off as white shimmer card and I smooshed Colour Cloud ink over it before picking out sections with a darker ink.

The lilac and plum cardstocks are much nicer in real life, they're from Paper Mill and are a lovely matt pearlescent finish.

I'm fortunate to be able to go to the Paper Mill shop in Kendal several times a year and it's great being able to see the products for myself rather than try and order them online. Well worth a trip if you're ever in/ near the Lake District, the staff are lovely and there's usually some really nice samples on display. I've been going there for years (under their previous business name) and was thrilled when they bought the Paper Mill because now there's double the choice of card and paper :)

Five In A Row

Flower stamp is by Woodware and is called Five In A Row
It's been stamped on thick vellum and heat embossed in white. I've used Pro-markers to colour on the back of the image.

I've layered the vellum loosely over cream card and hidden the adhesive behind the pink spine piece, this has been punched with an old SU border punch.
Sentiment stamp is by Visible Image

Just for You

It's my friend Steven's birthday today, his mum is a crafter so I know she will be examining his card.

I decided to only sprinkle embossing powder on part of the stamped sentiment to give a two-tone effect. The background has been created with Versamark ink and clear and gold powders. Stamps are all SU.

Poinsettia

Poinsettia stamp is a recent magazine freebie
Sentiment stamp by Woodware
I've used Versamark and white embossing powder with both

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.

Birthday

Paper is by Tilda
I didn't want to cover up too much of the pattern so stamped the sentiment (Waltzingmouse Stamp) directly on to it and highlighted with a Nestie frame. The frame was smudged on to a Versamark pad and then white and pale pink embossing powder added, some bits rubbed off, and then heated, for a rough effect.

Sentiment stamp is by Clearly Besotted, I've used it with white embossing powder to create the background.
Plane paper is Echo Park.

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

Cherish

'Cherish' stamp is by Basic Grey
The background stamp is SU 'En Francais'
I've heat embossed both with gold detail embossing powder, Cherish was stamped on vellum.

Butterfly die set is an old one by Quickutz, loved it when I bought it years ago and then cut so many for a wedding that I couldn't stand the sight of it!

Wreath

Wreath stamp is by Hero Arts, I've used embossing powder.
Sentiment circles are by Craftwork Cards

December

'December' panel is Kaisercraft
Sentiment, Craftwork Cards
Die, Memory Box

The green cardstock looked a little bland so I stamped (medallion stamp by Stampin' Up!) using Versamark and clear embossing powder.

Merry Christmas

Paper and small panel are Kaisercraft
Sentiment stamp was a magazine freebie
Brad is from an old Papermania kit
I roughly edged the card with Versamark and gold embossing powder.

Love

Heart stamp is by Hero Arts and has been heat embossed.

Love stamp is Stampin' Up!

Anniversary

My wedding anniversary today so I made this card for my husband.
I wanted to try something a bit different to the usual hearts etc.

I've used clear embossing ink and powder with an Autumn Leaves swirl stamp. All the word stickers down the left hand side are by K&Company, the glitter stickers on the right are by Making Memories.
