Addicted Ladies xmas 2008 cards

Hi Everyone,

Last post for now as I feel rough with this flu.....

I saw this medallion on somones blog a few months ago and thankfully had made the cards then as I wouldnt have felt like doing them now...also thankfully I have made all my xmas cards weeks ago.....

This card uses the elzybells eskimo with robin......and the word stamp is there's also.

The paper was from glitterpot (I think ) The cardstock is SU.

I used the nestabilities large scallop circle and EK sucess ornate heart punch to do the punching....you punch them every other scallop and voila the middle bit falls out !!

Very effective, I saw it on a wedding card but what a perfect frame for anything...

Have a go

Hugs

My calender

Hi Everyone,

The addicted ladies and I each make a calender every year...this year for various reasons we havent made any :( well not our usual type anyways....

I made this one for Jenny as Mary and Sharon are swapping after xmas.

I used tree for all seasons...which was quite spooky as Jenny used the same set for the calender she made too.

I used a photo frame that another dorset stamper Val had shown us ......

Hope you like

Hugs

Christmas gifts

Hi Everyone,

My new header picture is of some xmas gifts I made for the addicted ladies.

I will show a picture of the inside in a moment....

I bought some car air freshners from yankee candle ( I love that shop ) and slipped them inside.

This flavour is my fave although I cannot smell anything at the moment as I have flu !! mind you I cannot taste anything either....

You could use hot choc sachets or tea sachets too....

Have fun

Hugs

Tag xmas card

This one didnt turn out as intended, I wanted to make 3 layers of tag effect but my punches were not big enough and I only had 1 large sizzix scallop tag, I thought I had a set of 3...so there you go.I used the SU oval punch to fold over the top and attached a brad.I used a the dot stamp from polka dots set for the top of this card.

I promise to *try* and use a different set over the weekend LOL....

Bye for now

Christmas tree again....

Sorry still used this christmas tree stamp...I do like it... :)

This time I used rose red, summer sun and garden green.Rose red DP and happy thoughts set for the inside of the scallop circle.

I inked the stamp with the same coloured markers. This card will be for my friend who likes *other* colours for christmas !!

I used the SU crosshatch stamp for the top part of the card. I like using these background stamps as they just give a little *bit* of something to an otherwise plain card.

Bye for now

Bye for now

Another christmas card stack

Hi Everyone,

Well another 10 cards off the christmas list.

I used real red, old olive and choc chip...not your usual christmas colours but I quite like it :)

I used the large crosshatch background stamp in real red to give some texture to the main card.

I did a stay put knot in choc chip ( I am loving these ) then a column of old olive layered up with choc chip then the scallop toppers I had made earlier this month...I was going to use 3 but it was a bit much so I did 2 and then stamped very merry words in choc chip on old olive and punched out with an oval punch and voila....I made 10 so am getting through my christmas cards quite nicely.......

Bye for now

Christmas Project !

Hi Everyone,

Sorry if you tuned in to see the next stage last night :(
I was all prepared to do them but Tony said he would
cut up the wood I needed to make my SU stamp shelf
so that took over LOL.....

I will take a pic of that to share with you.....I love it
I can see ALL my SU stamp sets at a glance.

It was originally a 30" wide bookcase that we were going to give away
until I had this idea to take it apart cut the shelves smaller to 12" wide
and then re-assemble it....voila !! perfect for all sizes.....

I had to re-arrange my room again to accomodate it BUT it allowed me
to have another sort out and downsize again.....so Ebay here I come ...AGAIN...LOL

Next we are sorting the garage then the loft....busy busy busy weekend

Bye for now

I then punched out the co-ordinating CS to match the markers ,I had used to colour in, in

Real Red,Night of Navy,Choc Chip,Old Olive and Brocade Blue.

Next stage is to assemble them all and then make the cards !!

Check back tomorrow to see how I got on !!

Bye for now
