Snowflakes

Had time to make another card today, also my back is feeling a little better as I have been having a course of Shiatsu Massage.  At last I feel that something is working and I am slowly getting back to normal.  

This is a very simple card using two snowflake dies, one embossed in silver and the other in gold, its really sparkly and beautiful.  The sentiment is by Hero Arts and the background embossing folder is my Tim Holtz.

I am entering this in the Simon Says Wednesday challenge "Anything Goes".  Also the Less is More 200th challenge "Celebrations"

Have a great weekend.

Slowly but Surely

I am taking it slowly with my cards this year as I don't want to aggravate my back pain!!   I think that I will have to resort to some shop bought cards this year :0(  

I have managed to make two more this weekend, very simple cards with die cuts and stamping , Oh  and lots of sparkle!!!

Hope you have had a good week, 

More Christmas Cards!

Two more cards (Still loads to do)  This card has the words embossed in metallic gold (hard to see in the photo)  so I am adding it to the challenge at "Virginia's View.  Its good to be making challenge cards again , I really missed being tested with my designs! I am also adding it to the Hero Arts holiday challenge "Mad about Metallics"

This second card used the Hero Arts Winter Town stamp plus my memory box die.  I have added lots of shimmer with my Wink of Stella" pen although it doesn't show in the photo.

Thank you for all the good wishes I have received, hopefully I am on the mend now!

Creating Christmas at last!!

My neck and back have been a little better this week and I have been able to make a couple more Christmas cards although I am still miles behind!!  Both these cards are made with inspiration from Pinterest (I love that site!!),

The top card is made using my Hero Arts "Merry backgound" stamp and some Memory Box snowflakes. I am going to enter this into the Die Cut Divas November Challenge " Holidays" and the Hero Arts Holiday cards "White Out"

For this second card I have used another Memory Box die and a Provo Craft embossing folder.

Have a great weekend.

Hopefully I am back Crafting!

 I can't believe that's its been nearly two months since I have posted any cards, unfortunately I have been suffering from a bad neck and shoulder and have been unable to sit for long at the computer or make any cards.   I have had some Physio and some massage sessions and hopefully its on the mend, although I can't overdo it yet :0(

Not only have I missed crafting I have also missed visiting everyone's blogs and I feel really out of touch, Christmas is also approaching and I need to make my Christmas cards.  I really don't want to have to buy them!!

I have been on a weeks half term holiday from school and decided to play around a little!  I have made one birthday card for a friend, her son is really into golf.  For this I used my Happy Birthday die and cut the golfer and Son with my Silhouette Machine.  Quite simple but she was pleased with the finished result!

 I have also made a couple of Christmas cards also using my Silhouette to cut the Merry Christmas Frame and adding some die cut baubles.

This card was harder to photograph as its a shaker and the acetate was really reflective!

Its been a while since I entered a challenge but I am adding this to the Simon Says "Anything Goes" this week.

Hopefully it wont be another two months before I post again !!
