Especially for you

Hello everyone, I decided that as I have so many embossing folders (nearly 100) I decided I would start at the front of the drawer holding them and make cards and go through them one by one and use them all, This is a folder I got free with a magazine, Australian Simply Cards, some time ago and haven't used it yet, it came with stamps as well as the embossing folder, I used distress inks to colour in the flowers with a water brush pen, I used "fossilised Amber", "Candied Apple" and "Twisted Citron" all of which with the water bruse gave a lovely pale image, I used one of the stamps in Distress Ink Pad "Evergreen Bough" and put three clear rhinestones on the card,  and shaded around the edges with Memento Ink Pad "Dandelion"  Hope you like these as much as I do, and also all your comments are gratefully appreciated, and also thank you so much for visiting today, Jasann

Thanks

Hi everyone, another hot day!!!  I made the following card as a thank you for the lady who is driving me to the airport on Australia Day, I am giving her a pack of 6 of my cards to go with it,   I used white cardstock for the base and embossed it with a Couture Creations embossing folder "Endless" which is a 5" x 7" folder, I cut the three hearts out from a Poppy's Craft set of 5 dies, and embossed the hearts with a Cuttlebug embossing folder "Polka Dots", I used a Memory Box die to cut the "Thanks" in the same red and used a rolled rose die from Creative Dies and a Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish Left Die, and set three diamond Rhinestones on the card to high  light it, Hope you like this card, and thanks so much for your lovely coments, which are greatly appreciated, and thanks so much for your visit today, Jasann

Shades of Orange

Hi everyone, here is my card to enter into this weeks challenge on 52 Christmas card Throwdown challenge,
http://52cct.blogspot.com.au, I used white cardstock for the base and cut a piece of orange cardstock with a Couture Cut and Emboss Victorian Rectangle die, and I coloured in the edges with a old gold glitter gel pen, and added pieces of gold beads to the front of the card, I used the Belteek Inspired Technique by Kitty Caracciolo, http://kittiekraft.typepad.com, to eboss the centre piece and used Memento Ink Pad Tangelo, and the technique gave me darks, medium and medium colouring for this piece, the embossing folder is an old Cuttlebug one with Christmas Numbers on it, I don't have the packaging so I don't know the exact name for it, I stamped a sweet little Christmas bauble from an old stamp pad, with Merry Christmas in the centre, I am happy with this one, hope you will be too, all your comments are greatly appreciated, and thanks so much for visiting today, Jasann

Hi Everyone, Here is this weeks entry in Merry Monday's Christmas Challenge #188,( Hot Brewies!!,)
http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.com.au
I have used white cardstock for the base and for the topper I used a piece of card that I had used previously to mop up inks from my craft mat, they were various blues, I used a tiny doily for the tablecloth and cut out the cups from various Christmas papers after I had stamped them with an old free stamp from Craft Stamper Magazine, it was featured quite a few years ago and has become one of my favourites, I used two candy cane stickers from some old sticker paper, and cut the tags with another free gift from Australian Simply Cards and shaded them with Distress Faded Jeans and I also shaded the edges of the topper with the same ink.  I used an old Kaiser Craft Christmas Stamp "Be Merry" I have used this set a lot too, I used Liquid Perfect Pearls in Baby Blue for the fasteners on the tags.   Hope you all like it and thanks so much for your comments, they are greatly appreciated, and thanks so much for visiting today, Jasann

Sewing room

Hi there everyone, Hope you are all having a good day, here is a couple of pages I did this afternoon, I call it the Sewing Room, I used embossing folder, Tim's Rulers Set and Couture Creations "Who, What, Where Collection, and stuck them on the pages with Glue and Seal, I cut steampunk corners with Cheery Lynn Cutting Die and I used Tim's Movers and Shapers sewing model and I used Joy's Crafts Sewing machine and cotton reel, I used three green buttons on each page and the Girl and the gown plus the stamp are from Clear Impression Stamp "The Red Carpet Collection" I used "Peeled Paint" distress ink pad to shade the inside to accentuate the embossed surface and around the edges, and then I used Distress Marker "Twisted Citron" to colour all the die cuts and stamps on the page, also I used a piece of zipper and the closer was one that fell off my glasses case, so I put it to use here, I put a piece of dark green paper at the back.    I haven't done anything in this colour before, not sure if I like it, but I hope you do, thanks for all your comments, they are greatly appreciated, and thanks so much for visiting today, Jasann

Vintage Desk

Hi everyone here are two pages I made yesterday in my journal, I used gesso then Chromacryl Acrylic Paint Cool Yellow for the base and used Tim's Stencil "Stripes" with Chromacryl Texture Paste, then I shaded all the die cuts with Vintage Photo and made the circles with a plastic bottle top, with Vintage Photo Ink Pad, the other stencils I used were Tim's Clockwork and KaiserCraft Cogs, and stuck everything down with Distress Glue and Seal, after everything was dry I highlighted around the edges with a Brown Watercolour Pencil and highlights were with a White Glue Pen, thanks for visiting today, and all your comments are greatly appreciated, Jasann

hearts

Good Morning everyone, hope you day is a good one, there is lots of rain here, we had a very heavy thunderstorm last night where lots of people in the Hunter area lost roofs, fences, and trees came down, hope you all who suffered the effects of the storm will soon have everything sorted out   I saw this card on KittieKraft website, www.kittiekraft.com and really liked it so I decided to CASE it, I used a craft scissors to cut out the red topper which sits on top of a white card and used a piece of scrap paper that had remnents of overspray of Sunflower Sparkle, Liquid Pearls, and to cut out the hearts I used an old Cuttlebug cutting die 37-1226 Cocentric Hearts, this is a very old cutting die that I have had for donkeys years, I used a Spiral Flower Die from Creative Dies, and for the greenery I used a Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish Left.  and three clear rhinestones to finish it off, thanks KittiKraft for your inspiration, and hope you all like my interpretation of her card and thanks so much for visiting today, Jasann
