Thank you to all my followers for the lovely comments I have had of late, Shirley that is such a lovely compliment that you wish to copy my card, hope it went well lol!

I apologise for not getting round to your posts I will try before Christmas to get round them all to see your wonderful work.

Wishing you wonderful Joy

Hi crafters, hope you are all well, one more day to go then we break up for Christmas, we will be going to my daughters so there wont be any posts for a while, so sorry about that but it cant be helped. Hopefully I shall have a few goodies in my Santa sack that I can play with an show the results on here, here's hoping lol!

Now todays card as you can see it is a Julia Watts influence with the self patterned background, Stamps from Creative Expressions, this was then mounted onto Gold miri card, I used the same miri card to go on the back of the sentiment.

The flower is from Spellbinders Shapeabilities Di-lites Medallion Eight, I cut the flower out of the center twice and matted together. The leaves are from SP Delicate Asters. I added a little button in the middle to finish it off.

Season's Greetings to a Special Daughter

Morning Crafters, great to visit you all again, we had a most wonderful time with my family, don't see them enough but I shall see my Sister in the New Year, before she goes back to France, and my Brother in May.

Now finally I get to show you the card I made for my Daughter for Christmas, I still have to make one for my son and hubby !!! I thought she would like a White on White one for a change so I decided on a Poinsettia wreath, it could have been better but I am happy with it. I was going to do a Holly wreath for my son but I won't have time for that now so will have to think of something else lol!

I made several Poinsettia flowers out of White vellum and White embossed them to show up the veins, I think they would have looked better using parchment and just drawing in the veins. 

My sentiment I did on the computer onto Centura Pearl card then die cut it using SP Splendid Circles, I placed this in the center of the card and attached the flowers round the edge, in the center of each flower I placed a pearl. I added a few leaves which were done the same way as the flowers and there was the finished card. Sounds easy doesn't it but the flowers were very time consuming as I had to make quite a few with very little time to do them .

Items used:

White 8x8 card

White card

Sue Wilson A4 Embossing Folder-Garden Lattice

Spellbinders Splendid Circles

Spellbinders Poinsettia

Papermania Embossing Powder-Seafoam White

Habico Self Adhesive Pearls

Live in the Moment

 Morning crafters, hope this finds you well, this is my last card for a few days as we are going away to visit family, my sister is over from France so we are going to see her and my brother in Birmingham. I just have not had the time to make any more cards to put on here, I am leaving my daughters card to put up on Tuesday, so hopefully then I shall be able to keep up to 2 a week until the hols when I can make more lol!

This one is one a did for my son a while back using stamps from Sam Poole I think, gosh its awful I cannot even remember lol!!! Anyway you can see what I have done, I used a Cog Creative Expression mask in the background then stamped on top with the small clock pieces. I added the Lime coloured card to brighten it up a bit as it was all Brown lol!

Anyway, I hope you all have a good weekend and I shall post again on Tuesday, I shall try to get round everyone's posts then too.

Thank you for looking, Jacquie xxx

Birthday Wishes

Hi crafters, hope this finds you all well and not too stressed with all that Christmas shopping lol!

So sorry I have not got round to your blogs of late I have been so busy and we are going to visit Family over the weekend so I am hoping I can get round to everyone's blog sometime tonight lol!

Today we have another Chinese card for you, the image is again, from the Joanna Sheen Taste of the Orient CD Rom.

Not sure whether you can notice them but I threaded some Red beads onto the cord on the side of the card so they matched the lady's kimono but also added texture and interest to the card.

I will see if I can find something different for tomorrow.

Thank you for looking, Jacquie
