Love ...

Hello Everybody,

I Coloured all the letters from the new Alphabet collection with Inks and shaded the ribbon and bow with Copics in three shades of green 

They have been embossed in  the leaf folder and then add with foam pads to the embossed Flourish panel

I dotted the ribbon and bow with a white pen.

Quick and easy to make and the finished size is 5x7.

This card has a message to you all and that is that I would LOVE you to join me on 

Craft Stash Facebook Live 20th December at 1pm

There will be prizes or you to win plus and look at some of my new collection

 More tomorrow

Coloured Image

Hello Everybody,

Today I wanted to share some images from the pen of Mo Manning   Her characters are delightful and I have bought quite a few digital images from her website in the past. 

Here I have used the same image in different colours to show you how versatile they can be.

I have added this one to a die cut background and added in some of my collection of flowers, ribbons and pearls to both cards

I will add the links at the bottom of the page for you to see what I have used.

For this one I coloured the dress in red and then added Nuvo Clear Glitter Gloss over the top .

I love the expression on this child's face and you can imagine her stomping off in a huff over some unintended  slight she has had

Take a look at some of the other characters on the Digital Pencil website

Alphabet and Numbers Collection

Hello Everybody,

Here we are a step nearer to Christmas.  Have you got everything ready for the holiday?  I have some new cards to share today with the latest collection of dies that I have and they are available at  Craft Stash   right now.

One of them is an Alphabet that will enable you to personalise any of your projects.

These are excellent for making two cards at the same time by using positive and negative die cuts.

For this card I cut the word JOY from white card and then add the words to the
  Snowflake panel

I spread glue over the letters and sprinkled them with glitter,  and added the stamped  Poinsettias behind 

I have added tiny diamante into the centres of each flower.

With the negative piece I have stencilled the top of it with the Flourish  and added faux stitching around the edge

The addition of the gemstone flourish makes it more luxurious

New Collections from Card Making Magic

Hello Everybody,

Today I wanted to share with you a brand new
 New Collection from Card Making Magic.
 I have a short video to show you the first part of it to help you make some lovely cards and next Thursday 20th December I am on Craft Stash Facebook Live so please join me

Having Letters and Numbers is always a good idea for your own collection and then you can personalise all your projects.

There are some lovely border dies in this section with more exciting additions in the New Year and so I hope you will keep visiting the blog pages to see what they are.

For this card I have coloured some white card in an Ombre fashion with shades of pink ink and then used one of the border dies to cut them out. 

They have been added to an embossed background on the card,  keeping the shading in order.  

I will be doing videos with all these new additions and don't forget to join
 me next week
20th December Craft Stash Facebook Live

Card & Gift Winner

Hello Everybody,

The card that is with this weeks gift was one I made some time ago and is in the style that I really enjoy making and so I hope that the winner this week will like the colours that I chose.  There are some lovely images on the A4 stamp sheet that is on offer and I am sure that you will have fun playing with them. 

All the Friday Freebies to the end of this year were all done well in advance and then scheduled to go out each week. And that has been a big help to myself knowing they will go out without any problem

There have been very few blog posts this week but that doesn't mean I have been doing nothing.

Tomorrow there is a short video about my newest collection, and there is more to come by the end of the year.

Craft Stash have been working really hard on my behalf to get these new dies and stamps out to you, but now it is time for me to do my part. There is one thing for sure and that is time marches on and waits for no one. I know Griff would have loved this new collection and he would be proud of whatever I achieve.

Those who met him will have been shown the films he has of me and my cards that he stored on his phone ... and he was never shy of showing them to anybody and everybody that would look.

So the winner of the card and gift today is ...

June Horrocks
