No stamps christmas

the dreaded peel off stickers - how many of you still have bunch thrown in  a drawer or cupboard - over the past few months I have thrown out loads and loads of these but  kept a few wordy ones - just in case - that would be now.



No explanation needed really - a few bits of card covered with patterned paper all cut by hand  . a die cut star which I then used the negative bit as a stencil for the black stars - all raised on foam squares.

Oh baby






 I made use of my ribbon stash to make this card - I bought this elephant die way back in August 2020 , I can't believe it's taken  me so long to use it. And a very old stamp to add the sentiment.


Creative Knockouts - 397 add a sentiment

So very tweet





A few weeks ago I sat at my kitchen table with 2 boxes of ribbons - I made the decision anything shorter than about 6 inches had to be thrown away - now the ribbons only take up one box and they are very tidy I might just use them .
 

This bird stamp from Stampavie has been coloured with AquaMarkers and then die cut.

Spots and splodges


 Simple is best when you have patterned papers - the sentiment was die cut a couple of times so it's  raised slightly.

Flutter by sweet butterflies




I love the 6x6  pads but how many times do you find that you don't like half the papers -  this pack has 36 papers, everyone is different and I love them all . Good quality thick paper.  I have used 4 from the pack for this card.

A bit purple


I used quite a few of the flower stems also a script stamp which I couldn't find  when I took this pic  - true to form a couple of hours later I managed to find it in the mess on my desk.



If you love delicate flowers and stems then this stamp set from MFT is lovely - I don't buy branded craft stuff very often as it's too expensive but I know I will use this set again and again. The tiny hearts were done through a stencil - tiny gems and glossy accents which never show up.
