Inspirational Aquatints

Morning All!
Just popped by to share my projects for the latest Crafter's Companion Inspiration magazine.

Using the free stamps which came with the fabulous mag, I made a variety of background using my Aquatints.
Hope you like them as much as I enjoyed creating them!

O Holy Night

Afternoon Crafters!
Just popped by today to share a pop out card I made using the 'O Holy Night' Create a Card die from Crafter's Companion.

I cut one of the images from black card, inked through the die as a stencil and added gold Stickles as highlights to create the front panel. I cut a second image, which I scored in half to pop inside for the pop out. The vivid background was created using my Aquatints.

Hope you like this version. The Aquatints are great for making bright and bold backing papers!
Best wishes and bye for now

Seeing Double

Morning All!
The 4th September already! Where did that do? Well, today I'm wishing a few more days away til Monday, when the lovely Leann Chivers launches some new A6 Create a Card dies on Create and Craft.

Today I thought I'd share a gatefold style card I made using the dies to create a double bow front. This Bauble die with the showflake background is really lovely and cuts out perfectly! To finish I added snowflake dies, pearls, Card Candi and a stamped sentiment. 

The two sides of the gatefold tie with a bow. The inside I embossed with the Vintage Holly Embossalicious folder.

Hope you like it! I'd like to enter it into the following challenge:

Winter Wonderland - Add a Sentiment

Many thanks for popping by!

Getting Sentimental

Morning Crafters!
Today I thought I'd share a couple more cards using the Crafter's Companion Christmas 'Only Words' dies. I love these little sentiments!
First up is 'Let It Snow' - perfect for using with all your snowy scenes, snowflake dies and embossing folders.

And then there is 'Christmas Blessings' - a lovely sentiment and ideal for those more 'thoughtful' cards that you want to send during the festive season.

Anyway, hope you like them.
Will be back soon with more.
Best wishes

Romany Christmas Frame Card and Ornaments

Morning All!
Today I'd like to share a little frame card that I made using the new Abigail Mills CD 'Romany Christmas'.

 I also made some little Christmas tree ornaments using images from the CD printed onto transfer paper and then ironed on to felt. I don't have a sewing machine so I hand sewed around the egde with blanket stitch.

Hope you like them! I'd like to enter this project into the ABC Christmas Challenge where you choose one of their past challenges - I have chosen C is for Colourful - to depict my Christmas tree ornaments.
Best wishes and bye for now

Romany Christmas Gift Set

Afternoon Crafters!
Tune in to Create and Craft tomorrow and you will see the new Abigail Mills CD called Romany Christmas.

With lots of lovely fabric themed Christmas images, anyone who enjoys needlework or the look of fabric texture on their cards, will love this new collection. Today I thought I'd share a baby grow and matching gift box that I made.

The baby grow image was added using printable transfer paper, whilst the box was made on my Ultimate Pro and decorated with papers and tags from the CD.

Hope you like it.
