Stamping Sensations November Challenge

Our challenge over at
STAMPING SENSATIONS
is all about Traditional Christmas using the colours
red, green and gold - any or all!

I pulled out some old (painted seasons) and some new stamp sets to create this card.
It has bits of gold embossing. Each bauble was gold embossed then coloured and I also gold embossed the
edges of the sentiment.

Those little green thread bows where tricky to make but I like the effect.
I just wanted something subtle.
I had intended to stamp some little yellow stars/spots between the branches
but totally forgot. I will add at some stage before it gets posted out.

We are sponsored this month by

Chocolate Baroque

so be sure and get your stamped entries in for a chance to win.

Class Treats - March

These are the treats I made for the March class ladies.
I used gorgeous papers from Painted Seasons DSP
wrapped round a packet of Rolo and finished with some
beautiful gold thread, a flower cut out from the dsp and

Grace and wisdom!

I had another 80th birthday card request and

again I went with the painted seasons stamp set.

I hope you were lucky enough to pick this up during Sale-a-bration!

I used the painted seasons dsp along with the stamp set.

The flowers where stamped and cut out along with the leaves to add dimension.

The inner flowers were stamped and masked to add some leaves.

I really enjoy this type of stamping and find it very therapeutic! 

I personalied it using the Make a difference stamp set and the sentiment

is from Strong & Beautiful stamp set.

with lemon lime twist and balmy blue ink pads.

The ribbons I used are lemon lime twist and grapefruit grove.

Mother's Day card

I got a lovely new set of stamps and matching dsp FREE during Sale-A-Bration

with a £90 spend!

I was dying to have a play so I made a

Mother's Day card for my Mother-in-law.

The colours are so gorgeous and having matching inks keeps

the colour coordination so easy!!

How I made this card:
1. Cut piece of fresh fig card to fit your base card.
2. Mat with a piece of dsp.
3. Cut piece of fresh fig card to form a strip the length of your card by 2 3/4" wide.
Score every 1/4" to form a check embossed pattern.
4. Wrap piece of ribbon along card and secure at back with tape.
5. Cut a rectangle in whisper white. Stamp your sentiments in centre
using fresh fig ink.
6. Ink up your flower in grapefruit grove and using a dauber add
some fresh fig to the centre of flower and stamp.
Randomly stamp the flowers in opposite corners using this technique.
7. Create a mask on copy paper and use to add leaves in lemon lime twist.
8. Stamp 2 flowers and 4 leaves onto whisper white and cut out.
9. Using dimensionals add your flowers to both corners and glue
the leaves under the flowers.
10. Finish with a matching bow.
