Christmas Card ...

Hi Everybody,

Have you made a start on your cards yet ....

Although I have been doing some for magazine covers I am ashamed to say that I have made no personal ones as yet

But I think it is time to make a start or I will be late again this year as I usually am.

This one is made with the free gift that came with Creative Stamping 50

Cute little characters to help brighten up your designs and really easy to create different scenes with

Each of them can be dressed in their own sweaters and you can have a lot of fun playing with them

Ruby Update 

Just as an addition to this post I would like to say "Thanks" to all of you who wrote with concern for Ruby.

She is fine now but she must have been in some pain with the wood lodge in her gum.

 I did not throw the stick for her to fetch ... she just picks them up to play with and while she was gnawing on it the splinter went into her gum.

It would not have been picked up in an x-ray as it was on the inside of her mouth and too far into the gum to be seen. But it did cause a lot of infection and there was no way to save the tooth

I am truly happy to say that she is fixed and well again now and back to her sweet self ... a happy playful little dog

Feedback please

Ruby Update

Hello Everyone,

Sorry I have not been around for a little while but my mum has been really busy showing you her new collection

And I have to tell you that I have not been well.

You know that I like to play in the woods with my friend Dougal.

Well I also like to chew sticks and one of them splintered and got stuck between my tooth and my gum.

My face was swollen and my mum took me to see Mr. Vet

He said it was very infected right down to the root and I had to have the tooth removed.

 Here I am feeling sorry for my self. But that was a week ago and now I am as right as rain. I was in pain with the wood but now I feel really well again and back to my old tricks.

And just to show you what my mum has been doing here is one of her lovely stepper cards.

She has done this one in gold with all those butterflies and she did this style of card in a video for you to see.

So more from my mum tomorrow and I will be back again soon.

Bye for now ...

Love Ruby xx

Jewel Flower Stepper Card & Matching Box

Hi Everybody,

This beautiful stepper card is made with the Complete Card 7 Box Die Set that is part of the "Christina Collection" available with Craft Stash.  I have used deep jewel colours to create the flowers and the it all fits into the matching box

The video will show you how I made this and it is really easy to do. It can be used for any occasion and of course you can alter the colours to any you like.

Jewel Flowers & Matching Box   is not a long video so just enough time to make a cuppa and relax as you watch the card being made.

I hope you will enjoy it and join me on the next one
