Christmas Decoration

This is the  Christmas Decoration  I was working on while it  poured down yesterday.

The shape I used was the  Spellbinder  Octagons and Scalloped Octagons  and they  are  from  Save On Hobbies

There are many shapes that can be used for this project and I  will try some with the Diamonds too.

I have added some of the Want2Scrap "Bling" and some  lovely  feathers that I  had in my "Stash"

The video page is on the website and if you are not fed up with  Christmas stuff yet ... then maybe you would like to view it.

Spellbinders Christmas Decoration   is only a short one so I won't keep you for long.

I have made them in different colours and used some Poinsettia flowers that I took apart and added German Glass Glitter to before putting them back together.

Traditional Colours ...

I thought I would try a  Christmas card in the traditional  colours for this one ... but I still couldn't resist the urge to  add the "Bling"

The backing paper was a freebie with my monthly magazine subscription and the Poinsettia  was a cheap buy that I took apart and added  German  Glass  Glitter before re-assembling.

I added a silver  spacer behind the red pearly Brad  for the centre, and behind that I used just the outside part of the  Anenome Flower

The border is from the   Lattice Accents  and the swirl is  from the  Belle Rose both from Spellbinders.

I have also added in some wire strands with red beads on them behind the flower.

The  Floral Ovals  have been stamped with the verse and added with foam pads to another oval which has been rotated, and Seam Binding  has been used to make the triple layered bow.

In all the rain that we have had for this Bank Holiday Monday I have made a vidoe instead on a very pretty Christmas Decoration and I will add that tomorrow.... and hope that you will like it.

Heirloom Ornament

 I love this card and it is another using the self adhesive pearls to stud the shape.

These are the 72 count  LeCreme from Want2Scrap  and the Finesse Swirls are on either side if the Heirloom Ornament  from Spellbinders.

I have used the largest die to cut an aperutre in the card and then it has  been embossed.

I have  matted it onto some striped paper ... and then layered that onto some neutral card.

The sentiment  stamp is one I have had for a long time and it is from the Glitter Girls

I have added a small organza bow to the top of the ornament and added an "A" frame to the back to make it stand.

Gosh!! ...  am I working on these Christmas Cards ....

Oh! Christmas Tree...

This  card was  created using  the 2010 Holiday Tree that I got from Save On Hobbies  and it makes a very pretty card for that special time of year.

It uses the  Baby  Blue and  Dark Blue Pearls  from  Want2Scrap  to stud the  tree.

I have used the different sizes around the middle shape and added it to the the largest shape with Pinflair Glue Gel to give it height.

The largest and smallest shapes in the dies have been sparkled with Glamour Dust.... and the background has been run through a Snowflake embossing folder.

To the Floral Ovals I have add a  Cloud Effect  as a backdrop to the trees. The ribbon ia Navy Blue and the two stars are wooden ones that have been dabbed in glue and then sparkled with the Glamour Dust. 

This is going in my pile of cards ready to send at Christmas.

Cream Christmas Card

Today I have made no less than eight Christmas cards and most of them are for our  family and friends.

I am really into cream  for this years theme and I think it looks very elegant.

I have added texture to the background with an embosiing folder and then inked the edges with Antique Linen.

I have used a lot of    Pearly "Bling" on these cards and it is from  Want2Scrap 

I have added it to the Labels 20 and the Fancy Tags 3 shapes and added a swirl at the bottom leading from the Poinsettia.

I took this flower apart and added some Glamour Dust to it then re-assembled it.  The swirly leaf shapes behind it are from  Damask Accents.

are you ready for the Bank Holiday and not letting all this really sunny weather get you down ..... Joke !!!! It has forecast rain as usual and it will be another wet and soggy Bank Holiday in the UK.

But it won't spoil my trip to the craft show on Sunday and I will be buying some new crafting goodies.
