Christmas cards

Made this Christmas tag for my friend Carla's challenge, 2Spellbinder Fleur de lis die cuts layered with foam tape and alcohol inks acetate inbetween,, i stamped the SU reindeer on the acetate but it doesn't show up very clear.Stickles glitter all around and pearls to round it off.

Butterflies,, flying off,,,

I just Love these Fabscraps punched butterflies.BRS swirly stamp, Spellbinder labels4, MS Double loop punched corners and cuttlebug squares on White Linen cardstock.

ATC's

We had to make 2 season ATC for our card-io-logist stamp meeting and this is what i came up with,, winter and summer.The summer 1 is paper cut out laying it all together again, all from scratch,,,I sprayed it with glimmer mist but unfortunately the shimmer dont show up on a scan. we had to use 3 colours and picked them from a list,i picked brown for my basis and then layered with orange, bright yellow and shocking pink, the winter 1 was more suttle in browns and greens and yellow.

Wedding Bells

Made this wedding card a while ago, just love this stamp so my friend Ursula stamped me a couple of these images.

It's Friday!!

Hi all, its friday and a long weekend here in SA, Womans day. Tomorrow we are going to our Wish Meeting (Woman in Stamping Heaven), hope to see some interesting dems and mingle with the ladies. I'm working on my butterflies for our craft camp in October. We'll be making a butterfly tag chunky book and i'm busy preparing my butterflies.Have a great weekend!!

Envelopes

I enjoy making my own envelopes when i hand deliver a card,I dont trust the postal services to send my cards in these,,hehehe
Here's how you can make it too:
I make my envelopes with serviettes and freezer paper that i got from overseas or you can use our local brown laminated paper.Take off all the layers of your serviette that you only have the 1 layer with the bright prints on it, scrunch it up into a bal and undo, lay the laminated side to the back of your serviette and iron it with a DRY iron. Iron slowly to really melt the laminated part to the wrong side of your serviette.The more wrinkled it is the nice it looks. Trace your template to the wrong side and cut out. I use a piece of x-ray in the middle to fold my flaps against, then score it and stick down. I've cut all the different envelope size centres from x-rays, makes life just easier this way. Put it onto your cut out envelope and fold to have a neat and square/rectangle envelope. Have fun!
