Creative Expressions Sleigh Ride

This is the last card I promise from this range! Again my version of Sue Wilsons card using items from my stash. I used the left over from the border punch to put in the top left corner. This specific paper in this pad was my favourite, and its now all gone :(

Crikey, its 2012 already. How are you sticking to your new years resolutions?

I tried catching up on your blogs this morning, but blogger was not playing nice. Every time i clicked on the comments to leave a comment, the page would not scroll to allow me to do so. I am running out of time now, i need to get out of the door to work. So will try later again today. I am stilll feeling quiet poorly, but a lot better than I was earlier in the week.

A quick post from me today, again this is Sue Wilson inspired, and a version of her card, but a much smaller version and again using products I have in my stash and this is using a Polka Dot Embossing Folder.

Looking at this card, it has reminded me of Sue Wilsons shaving foam technique! Lol, I still want to give that one a try. Shaving foam, Adirondack inks. Tray, paper. Lets have some fun and create a mess. I dont often use two different colour ribbons on one card, but I do like the look on this one. I dont think I used two ribbons again, must be too economical, lol!

Friends, lol, I am not sure if I would want friends of this sort. Not sure what they would be like in real life, they look great on the TV and the Happy Feet Film! I wish I could understand their language.

Looking back at this card from last year, I just started to get into Distress Inks, before that it was too grungy and not me. Then I discovered all the ways you could use them, and now I have a right collection.

I know Christmas has come and gone, but I really wanted to show the remaining cards, and not leave it until another year!

Creative Expression Demo Card

Wow, the 1st of December. There really is not a lot of time left now before Christmas will be here. Are your Christmas decorations up? Mine will be very shortly. Time to reflect on the year that has been 2011. Time of giving. Time to appreciate what you have.

I thought I would come along and show you the remaining samples I made last year using the Creative Expressions Sleigh Ride and Northpole Friends Stamps. I still have these and will definitely be pulling these out of the draws to make a few more cards. Last year I ran out of time, before I ran out of inspiration. Thats what you have when you see Sue Wilson demonstrating stamps on TV, recently she has done all demos on Nestabilities mainly. Don't get me wrong. Those cards are stunning. Would love her to come back and do a demo where the stamps are the main feature. She had amazing techniques and ideas. Also, by watching all the shows she has done on nestabilities, it shows me how to make more use of the sentiment stamps, and that I could do with some more of those.

CES February's Guest Designer

On to my second week as a guest designer over at CES Challenges. This week the challenge is to create a card using the theme Cute n Cuddly.

I have used the North Pole Friends Stamp which is on sale at the moment at Crafty Emma's Store for an amazing price of £6.99. This is a bargain.

Here are my cards using this stamp set.

This card uses DCWV paper - Let is snow and Nestabilites.

This card uses a Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch along with DCWV Let it Snow Paper

This card uses the same stamp combined with Wild Rose Studio - Candy floss Paper

This card uses a snowflake embossing folder, nestabilities and Wild Rose Studio Candy Floss Paper

This card uses a swirl embossing folder using the debossed side.

I hope you like these.

Although this is a Christmas stamp set, I have used this to create birthday cards and the sentiments can be changed to anything you have in your stash.
