Snowflakes

By
It's 52CCT time again and this week the theme is SNOWFLAKES - here is the first of my cards today



I have found a load of Christmas stash in one of my cupboards - it was some given to me a long time ago for my craft club. There is loads there so I snaffled a bit for my cards today! The green tree paper is actually 8" x 8" and it has been cut to fit a 5" x 5" card, I added some glitter to the trees and then embellished with some snowflake stickers.



I used another of the sheets of paper for this card and really didn't do much else except add a few flat backed gems and a 3D die cut snowflake in metallic purple paper.

OK - so far so good, this is my third attempt today to post this as my lap top is still refusing to behave it's self, I'm starting to think a visit to the shop might be in order - better start hunting for the receipt!

Please pop by Mynnette's blog to see her beautiful Christmassy creations and I will be back soon - Jacqueline xx

    These are wonderful Jacqueline. I rather like the effect of those stickers and the purple snowflake is gorgeous! Good luck with finding the receipt - I think they go to the same place socks go to - you know, just one from a pair! Vicky x

    And where teaspoons go.... (to continue Vicky's thoughts above)
    I love how different these two cards are. I always tend to do the same sort of thing with snowflakes... must be time for a change!

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
