What's" Your Elf Name?

Magnolia Stamp Club

Here is a card using images from the Nov/Dec Magnolia stamp club. Edwin, Santa's sleigh background image, holly and vine are all from the set. I used prisma pencils and zest it to colour the images.

Sugar Nellies

I haven't managed much crafting over the last couple of days as we are trying to get the house sorted for my Mum's arrival. We pick her up on Monday and she is staying with us until the end of January, maybe longer. So I've had to pack most of my craft room away, leaving only some essentials. Most of it is packed away in the cellar and the stuff I use most is sitting in the living room now. I didn't realise just how much "stuff" I had!!

Anyway this is it , I've only managed to stamp and colour two Sugar Nellie images. I've coloured them in using distress and adirondak inks.

Tilda & Holly

Another one for today. I made the aperture card using the Stretch your Imagination cricut cartridge. The holly leaves are from the same cartridge and the "Merry Christmas" is from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.

Tilda in wellies

Here's Tilda in her wellies. I only received her yesterday , so cute I had to make a card with her. I used distress inks to colour her in. Loving the Accent Essentials Cricut cartridge, that was new yesterday too. It's a gorgeous cartridge, may even be my favourite one (at the moment)! I'm really impressed with the expression too , much more versatile than the little bug. I also used the notch and die tool to make the little triangle tab to keep the card closed.

Yay

My cricut expression turned up today!! I can't believe how cheap it was from US. It came with 4 new cartridges and some of the ink cartridges. So I have lots to play with later!! Just need to have a good read now. :-)

Tilda in the snow.

Here's Tilda in the snow. Sorry about the pic I had to use the camera as it is still a bit wet with the stickles. I'll scan it later when it's dry. I made a mini suspension card this time.

I tried colouring the image in a different way for me today , I usually use Prismas and Zest it but for this one I watercoloured it with distress inks.

Here is the card scanned this time. I think you can see it better now.

The first Sugar Nellie Card

Well here she is , my first Sugar Nellie card. Everything I've used is from the candy box that I won over on the blog. If you want to see all the range of Sugar Nellie's have a look here on the Funky Kits webshop. Wonder if my other 6 will turn up today? :-)

Sugar Nellie Candy Box

Look what came for me today. A Sugar Nellie Candy Box!! I won it a while ago on the Sugar Nellie blog. Gorgeous Daisy Bucket papers and fab blooms and ribbons and of course a Sugar Nellie stamp. I've since ordered 6 more of these stamps and luckily I didn't order the one that I had won. They've not arrived yet so this little one will keep me going until they do. If you want some of these little Sugar Nellie stamps you can find them here at Funky Kits. I've just coloured her in with Prismas and zest it but added some glossy accents to her so she is still a bit wet. I'll be showing her tomorrow when she is dry and ready to be made into a card.

Lol what a dork!!

I saw this last year and it made me giggle and I've just found it again!

This is me with the two eldest

White Christmas

I've neglected my Magnolia stamps just lately so I got them out this morning and made this card. You can never see the glittery bits on my cards but their hats and at the bottom of Tilda's feet are covered in sparkly stuff. For the hats I used stickles and for the "snow" at her feet I used iredescent glamour dust which you can get from here. I'm thinking we may get a white Christmas here as it is brass monkeys and it's been snowing on and off too.

Mini Stamps

These have just arrived. They were only £1.50 each. They are all little interlocking stamps or they can be used as one big stamp. Ideal for the middles of suspension cards. Good value I thought. I bought them online from 3D Jean in the new products bit.

Another one....

Another suspension card, this time the suspended image is from a Stampin Up set called loads of love. Paper is paper adventures again, can you tell I'm trying to use it all up??

Suspension Card

Today I made this suspension card. The first photo is a scanned one but doesn't actually show the suspended bit properly so I took the second photo with my camera. Not a very good photo but you can see the suspended bit better.

I got the idea from SCS on their project forum. The papers and jelly stickers are from a kit I got last year. The scallop frame has been done with my Cricut.
