VINTAGE LADIES

 Hello everyone,

Back with a couple more Christmas projects, well, cards actually,and using up more of my stash and gorgeous papers..

the gorgeous papers is not this stuff, 

although they came out pretty well, it is gold stripe wrapping paper.

I cut and glued and it onto cardstock and it bubbled and did crazy things

So, I embossed with paste and stencil and that, my friends was that, I won.

they came out really good

so I made four of them.

This tartan paper was a perfect match for this beautiful vintage lady's dress..

it was in my free papers folder..

I just stretched it a big as it would go and printed it out 12 times so I had heaps.

Kept it subtle though on this one and added it by cutting with oval die cutting behind the lady..

flowers snowed up a little bit.

embossing poking out the top corner and some matt gold flat back [earls.

I cut a tartan bow and some pine leaves.

and number one done..

then the idea of using more of that tartan, 

I layered some poinsettias with it..

die cutting continuing, 25 and circles, inking, and leaves for ephemera

Without all the flowers and bow

and with the bow and frills..

There they are together, love this lady and very happy with the outcome of these cards.

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you tomorrow..

GREEN MOON BOO BOO..

 Hello everyone,

Well, the Twilight Fair was a fabulous success, sold quite a bit of stuff so I'm happy, my stall is still out there as my son and DIL said its getting close to Christmas, leave them here and they will see what they can do..so that saved me some effort and time cleaning and packing up..

I have another set or two of cards, with a green moon boo boo, but think I got away with it.. and a postbox..

The post box was easy to put together but cutting postage hole was another story..

and I made it look pretty bad, then I found some blades which I didn't know I had, and life could have been so much better..

I die cut these cute little letters, drew on some squiggly lines 

and coloured the postage stamps..

Then my postage stamp was inked up and I stamped them..

Glued them inside the hole and covered up my mess..

and made another one with a Christmas sack, little birdie, snow banked up, 

and just an fun Christmas winter card..

then came the green moon..

The more I added the worse it became, this was

 the better of the two, for sure..

this one went all wrinkly with too much water..

But I carried on and added some gold stars and it is not so bad in real life..

One more  post box and this time with a black top

and trims, like them much better too..

So there you go, a few more done and I think, if I'm correct, sold last night..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you again tomorrow..

CHRISTMAS DEER..

 Hello everyone,

I missed a day, I lost Friday and forgot to put up a Christmas post, too hot to think and went all lazy and drowsy, but, back today, Saturday morning, the twilight fair tonight and I'm excited..

So this card was one of my favourites as I loved this Deer

and postage stamp die, the train fit in there perfectly..

used up more poinsettias, am I glad I had the die cutting day.

and a sentiment day, still have plenty left..

the ribbon from my stash berries too, and die cut the 

branches.

there's my sweet Deer..

A pom pom trim and small wooden snowflakes, 

must get some more of those, so handy,

and done..after a fierce splattering with white ink..

Thank you so much for stopping by, I still

have more to share, so I will see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx

TO FAT FOR POSTING..

 Hello everyone,

Back with another Christmas card and yes, it is too fat for the post, well, it will go through but unfortunately it will be too expensive, I've done my research..

This time I'm going with a tri fold using up scraps of

 music papers, cards stock and papers and many die cuts all layered up....

I love to ink the edges and, I will say, when I remember, as I do not always.

the mats and papers here were die cut with a kinky edge die..

two little strips of lace, one shorted than the other but can make it work..

I die cut these candles, then added glossy white Nuvo Crystal drops,

 love this one and always have extra bottles in my stash..

I heat embossed in gold this lovely sentiment..

added a 25 onto a scrap of music paper, pom pom trims,

 lots of candle holders die cut  and layered and inked..

and of course the bulk is the poinsettias

and silver charm snowflake.

So there you go, have plenty more in the works, so I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you so much for stopping by..

POINSETTIA DAY AND FIVE CARDS

 Hello everyone,

Poinsettia day, what a fun and happy day that was, then five cards over next two days for an order which I can show here, just not anywhere else yet..

Day of die cutting and squeezing petals, inking and gluing began..

These did not take too long at all....about 2 hours maybe, or less.

pretty..

layering them all and die cut a few gold leaves, but not a fan, the wrong gold for me, too brassy.

centers going in, with gold Nuvo drops..

three at a time or they melt into each other and that is just annoying.

Ready for white paint spattering.

done..beautiful..now for five cards..

Sheets of music papers is another favourite paper of mine

and love making these little loops for leaves I suppose, 

but just makes them pretty and dimensional.

Gold, lots of gold..

Stars too here and there..

The candle holders all layered up and inked and I 

love my pine needle dies from Honey Bee Stamps, 

they cut perfectly every time.

all the picture were from papers in my stash..

so there we go, another session over with..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I think there are a few more and will definitely have

more to share just after Christmas..

Well, I could share here really, my family never come on here, so pretty safe..we'll see..

See you tomorrow..

luv CHRISSYxx
