Christmas Trees

Another card to add to my Christmas pile - this time using some Polka Doodles background papers left from another project and trees from a Stampin Up set.

A Rose is a Rose

My friend Anne kindly let me use some of her stamps when we shared a crafty day this week and I came home and made this card from the flowers stamped using a two part stamping set from Stampin Up - A Rose is a Rose. This set is now definitely on my wish list as I can see lots of possibilities with them. Background paper is from SU and the flowers are on a nestabilities label. The greeting is computer generated and punched using a SU punch - I added some card candy from Craftwork cards - these coloured dots are so useful and come in a huge range of colours,

Gift Bag

I spent a great crafty day with my friend Anne on Monday and besides stamping lots of images and generally swapping ideas, we made some gift bags. Here is one of mine using SU card, paper from Artylicious, a Graphicus Guild stamp and some ribbon. My long-awaited Martha Stewart heart border punch arrived in the post today so I just had to use it of course. The image is mounted using nestabilities ovals and some blue jewels have been added for a bit of bling.
