K is for Kangaroo

Hello again,



Are you all getting tired of seeing Christmas cards from me yet? I've had a few days off and will have to play catch up so today I have a pair of cards that I made using a similar design from last year. I stamped the Kangaroo from Aussie Christmas by Beccy’s Place onto a A4 sheet and heat embossed them in black, both were coloured using Prismacolor watercolour pencils, painted in with water and then fussy cut out then added to my torn paper background made to look a little like the Aussie Outback, I added the windmill die cut and stamped the sentiment from Beccy’s set heat embossed in silver.



Here are my two cards:-



What I used:-

2 x white card blanks 12.6x17.8cm (5x7”)

White core cardstock (DCWV) 


Ultimate Crafts Windmill die
Kaisercraft Basecoat corrugated tin paper

White cardstock for stamping

White cardstock to adhere background to

Black and silver embossing powder

Clear embossing ink

Double sided tape, foam tape

I would like to enter this card in:-

Thank you for looking in...
Have a wonderful week...

P.S. A huge thank you to all my friends and visitors who have wished me well with my shoulder and also a huge thank you to all who stop by and take the time to leave me a comment. I truly appreciate them all!

Stanley Sketch


Hello again,

Still trying to keep pace with the month of holiday cards with Beccy from Beccy’s place, today I have mixed in using a sketch from Sketch Saturday and one of Beccy’s pre coloured images called Stanley Claus (can't find Stanley in store) I have used some corrugated card to pop Stanley up. I may need to get used to using pre coloured images, pain I have had for the last five years has shown a torn rotator cuff and trapped tendon in my dominant hand.

Here is my card:-


What I used:-
White 12.4x17.5 card blank (5x7”)
Kraft cardstock
Striped paper from stash
Kaisercraft Christmas sentiments stamp and die
MFT stitched rectangle die
Scrap white card
Scrap gold mirri card
White card for printing
Beccy’s Place Stanley Christmas Digi 
Hero Arts stamp 'n' cut Merry die(can't find him instore)
Memento Tuxedo black ink 
Adhesives:- Double sided tape, adhesive sheet
