Angelic Wishes

Hello again,

Well have you ever had one of those I must clean up moments, only to get part way through and get distracted? I have been trying to clear some of my mounding craft supplies and get them back to where they belong or in some cases put away for the first time. What has been my distraction? More lovely dies arriving every few days as I made an order for some Cheap China Dies- CCD (a term I first came across with Shaz in Oz of Calligraphy Cards, courtesy of RosA at Paperchase) and they have started arriving and needed a place to live, as they came I tried them through my machine and left feedback for each piece (required) which only added to the mess I was trying to get through.

I decided to keep my CCD separate to my other dies and have been making mini magnetic folders for some of the nesting sets using advertising magnets and plain Manila folders, the nesting sets are residing in an old VHS box and I’m wishing I hadn’t torn the plastic cover from the boxes so I could poke a list of what is in each box clearly down the spine or on the front of the box. 

Here is a picture of the doily die which is behind my image:

I have made a Christmas card for this years stash using a Tiddly Inks digi image called ‘Angelic Wishes’. Still on my plan to use some of my vintage-y papers I coloured the image to suit.

James' Christmas

Hello again,

I’ve been concentrating on my family history of late and trying to ignore my PC issues, hoping my uncle will come up with the goods on how to fix it, blogger is still playing up I can only scroll through part of the list of blogs I follow, it is also adding extra spaces that are not there to each post or squeezing everything up super close to each other.

I thought I’d better get my skates on and make a couple of cards for Christmas before the end of the shortest month, I have been colouring some mixed image for upcoming birthdays and Christmas with the intent still to be making a few of the latter each month. I bought my first two digi stamps from LOTV including this super cute James Big Star with the plan of using some of my vintage-y papers for the cards.

Here is my card:-

 

What I used:-

White 5” x 7” card blank

Kaisercraft Yuletide papers

White cardstock for printing

Colorbox cat’s eye inkpad ‘Olive pastel’

Sanding tool, scissors and a good scrunching to age the papers

Faber-Castell and Derwent Pencils

James Big Star Digi stamp (LOTV)

Wink of Stellar pen (supposedly clear but I think white would be a better description)

Fine line black pen to trace over lines covered by above

LOTV Circular Christmas Sentiment Set 5

Marianne Design Star Punch die

Couture Creations nesting rectangle die

Couture Creations nesting scalloped rectangle die

Self-adhesive pearls

Adhesive:- Double-sided tape
