Another TE'd Christmas Card!!!

Here is another Christmas card with Triple Embossing.
This time I have coloured a piece of mountboard with chalks before stamping with the foliage stamp (Creative Expressions) and glazing with three layers of ultra thick embossing powder.
The background is card embossed with the new star folder from Cuttlebug which has been torn and chalked.
Bauble is a stamp from an Inkadinkado clear set.
Finished off with a few dots of Stickles for berries and the centre of the bauble and a stamped greeting which is also Inkadinkado.
The pic isn't fab but the light in my room is awful with the dull weather.

Had quite a productive day on the Expression today. Got through heaps of card that needed using up and hope to get through a bit more before I come down to watch X Factor. Love it when we get to this time of year and there is something worth watching on tv of a Saturday night. Snuggling up with my gorgeous hubby, DD and the dog is one of my most favourite things but there has to be something worth watching or I get fidgetty.

Thanks for your visit.

Triple Embossed Christmas!!!

Although I love Triple Embossing it can sometimes look a bit heavy so here I have combined a small TE'd tile with an acetate fronted card to lighten the look a little.
I used a small square of mountboard and being the meanie that I am I used two layers of clear ultra thick embossing powder before finishing off with a layer of gold Metal Magic.
Once cooled I used a Cropadile to make the holes for the red brads.
The gold card layer is attached behind the acetate and the red card layer and embossed tile to the front.

I've had a proper flopsadopsical day today. Just pottering around cleaning and cooking and trying not to make a noise as DD was in bed. You can always bet though that when I am trying to keep quiet every cat in the neighbourhood congregates on the path outside our house and has the dog wired up and barking so it's been a bit of a battle to keep him away from the front window today.

Not got anything done in the way of cardmaking but I am off up there now that all my housewifely duties are done.

Do Not Adjust Your Sets!!!

Whoooo........I've gone all funky.
I just love this paper collection........White Out from WRMK. Not the kind of stuff I usually fall in love with but I think the combination of colours in the designs are just stunning.
Here I have made a very simple card, mini pizza box and a gift bag.
The stamped image of mistletoe is from an Inkadinkado clear stamp set.

I'm spending this evening chillin' out. Browsing the net a bit and then I might watch a film. I was going to spend some time upstairs but I want to use the heat gun and hubby is very early to bed tonight so that's a no go as the noise disturbs him. When I have a particular thing in mind that I want to do nothing else will do so I gave up and came downstairs. Plus......it's a bit chilly tonight so I can snuggle up in my fluffy socks and PJ's with the fire on which chills me out like nothing else can.

Thanks for dropping by.

Mega Busy Day!!!

It's been a long and very busy day today. I was out of the house just after half seven this morning, at the shop for half eight, got some of the prep done for tomorrow's class before I opened ten minutes early as there was a customer waiting and then had customers in right up until about twenty to four came home and had a quick bowl of soup and then worked until about eleven forty five on the other prep I needed to get done.........phewwwwwww I am ready for my bed.
Need to wind down a bit first though so I am off for a browse around the web while I drink my cuppa.
I haven't had chance to take pics of anything tonight so that will be my first job when I get in tomorrow.
Thanks for dropping by.

Tri Shutter Card!!!

Using more of the K & Co paper pack for this simple version of a Tri Shutter card. I really wish there had been more sheets of the flowered paper as I think it's beautiful.
The butterflies are peeloffs on vellum.

Off upstairs for a cardmaking session now. I have the urge to do some Joy Fold cards which are my most favourite card style ever and I haven't done any for a while. Also need to photograph the projects I did in the class today if the light is good enough.

Thanks for dropping by today.
