Colour On A Cold Day!

These cards were all made using stash & Stamps I have had a while, some are done with Kanban Stamps & Kanban Die Cuts from the Autumn Leaves Kit. I have also use a couple of Cuttlebug Embossing folders too, a Kay & Co Die cut sentiment. Theres also paper in there from last years "Figgy Pudding" collection we all went mad for! As well as peel offs here and there & Stickles! A bright selection of Seasonal Cards for a very cold day indeed! Hope whoevers got snow is keeping indoors & warm! Stock up on the supplies it could get colder!

Carry on Crafting to keep warm!

WOYWW.....& Gorjuss 2!

It's come round quick this week again! Time is flying by, it's because Yule nearly upon us! Before we know it, we have pressys to wrap decorations to put up Xmas tree to buy Turkey to organize & the mother in laws present to shop for! Lets be honest its always left to us Women! Small moan, sorry about that, its just getting y'know...close! And apart from all these cards on my desk, which is about half of what I have made, I havent done much else! Just got 4 more to make for my Mum to give her good Friends & 5 to make for my Family, then that's it!

The card you see is the other Decoupage sheet from the Gorjuss kit from yesterday's post. I added the sentiment strip from a Kanban kit & some kaleidoscope peels offs along with some silver & black snake pattern paper from Paperchase. The little bow is some felt wrapped with string. I don't make a lot of cards like this, with people on & stuff, but think I might invest in some character stamps, better get to Sugar Nellie stamps I think. Keep well everyone & thanks for the visit!

Gorjuss!

This is a first for me! I have not used or worked with decoupage much at all! However I spotted this "Gorjuss" make 2 cards kit in The Range & decided to give them a try. I like the way they look, probably cos I love Blue's & Grey's. In the little kit you got 2 sheets of the girl & bear decoupage & 1 sheet of backing paper. I just added some Holographic card and some Glittery Peel offs. I have made the other one although just need to take pics of it, so will show it tomorrow. Time for me to go put some socks on I think its got really cold here overnight & looks like we could see some Snow! Hope your snug wherever you are!

WOYWW.....A Bit Late!

Ooo cutting it a bit fine for time today.....I forgot it was Wednesday, I know, whats that about! It's the voices they forgot to remind me! :) Today I have been re-vamping a few cards that I though at the time looked OK, but in hindsight.....didn't! So here I have showed one I have showed on here before, but to me looks better than before! Blimey that was a long winded explanation! I like to uses peel offs, not on everything but when I think they enhance cards!

Still got a box of Xmas Cards to finish off here to, they all need the inside's doing. I tend to make a load of cards then finish them off later on, inside sentiment & envelopes or boxes whatever I think looks best!

Hope to have all these done in the next few days! If time allows! Hope your all well & enjoying your WOYWW's snoops. If anyone's reading this and your not joined in with it & are not too sure how it all works then nip over to Julia's blog and have a look what you do & join in!

Pink & Purple & A Bargain!

Delved in to an DCWV Rose Tinted Christmas paper stack to do these! Fancied a bit of a change form Brown & Blue, although I will be doing more of that combo as I have just been asked to make 6 cards for someone, I do love it! Anyway added some embossed mirror card & pearl card for the matting & layering and on the second one added a little made up bow at the bottom. I used some nice trim, looks like a frosty spiderweb up close, the pic doesn't do it justice really, I purchased it in Nice France on my hols this year and wished I would have got more! Used the Marianne designs die again and Fiskers now famous, as well all went mad for it, Threading Water Edge Punch. Also squeezed on some of the little Mosaic glass tiles, just s little extra sparkle!

My next pic is a bargain of the month I think.....................

24 Scotch Glue sticks for, wait for it......£5.25 I know a complete BARGAIN!!!! They came form Costco last week, the Manchester Branch, so any of you with a membership for Costco go and get a pack now! They also do a nice paper pack at the min too and a few other craft scissors and stuff! Worth a visit if your near. Another place I just discovered for crafty stuff this week was Dunelm? Probably most of you know about it but it was new to me & got a 3 for 2 yesterday on Peel Offs! Well off to stoke up the Woodburner is cold here today, sunny but very cold!

WOYWW.....Blue & Brown!

I am loving g.d.c studio's "Ella Blue" Papers! Just wanted to do something different for Xmas cards & got inspired by an article in Craft Stamper magazine. Also nice to have a change with the little die cut Poinsettia in white pearl card too! The sentiment stamp if by PSX, I actually got it when I want to Monte Carlo! Typically me, found the only craft shop for miles around, some people would bring back other things from a holiday their, not me! Loved the shop more than all the sight seeing! Although lunch at the Cafe de Paris was wonderful!

Anyhow I digress. The glitter card came from Hobbycraft & I used Mac Gills Pine punch for the brown fronds, finished with Platinum Stickles & Glossy Accents.

Mr Binxz decided to sit on my Laptop in protest at me not giving him enough attention, I was just looking at a great web site dedicated to craft rooms too! The pic of all the toppers was a bargain buy this week from The Range 4 packs for a £1, so I got all these for £4! And theres a pic of my Xmas crafty box & dunno what to do with the flower soft toppers I made yet?

Hope you all well & doing ok this week. I am feeling perked up this week! Thank you to everyone who left me a comment last week, and the kind words you sent me, it really cheered me up! I don't feel like I have a lot of energy sometimes to blog or surf as much as I did, so its really appreciated at the moment, Thank you! "Hello" to my new followers too! Thanks for taking time to have a look at my site & joining in my crafty journey!

See you all soon!
