Rubber stamped card

I want to catch up with blogging my Christmas cards as I would like them as a record on my blog and will not remember to load them at Christmas 2012, so please bear with me.

This is a quick and simple Christmas card using a rubber stamp from Crafty Individuals. I stamped it in Brilliance pearlescent chocolate and matted the image onto red card that was punched with and EK Success punch that I bought from Scrapbook Studio in Jeffrey's Bay. Flat backed pearls complete the card.

Enjoy your day and all that you do!

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I had not blogged about Christmas last year and I would be catching up.  Here is the start of the Christmas catch up.  Perhaps I will inspire you to start your Christmas cards early...vbg...

This was my favourite Christmas card that I made in 2011. In non-traditional colours. The images are from LOTV and I see that they launched 14 new stamps yesterday.  It is difficult to keep up as they launch new stamps so often. I am so lucky that a good friend buys a lot and I get to use her stamps.

I used lots of dies for this card. Grande Nestabilites to cut out the base card, lacey and circular Nesties for the sentiment. Marianne's Design dies for the lace rectangle, flourishes and flowers, these I bought from Country Crafts in Gauteng. The SB paper is from W & M and flowers, pearls and lace are from my stash.

The image is coloured with Promarkers that I buy from Joanna Sheen as she does not charge postage and I've added white flock to make the fluffy bits.

Have a great day!

This card was made for Michelle using a cute LOTV stamped image coloured in Promarkers and a Nellie Snellen oval die and Nesties.

Have a great day!

I am sharing a Christmas card in non-traditional Christmas colours today. This card is for Corinna and I've used a cute LOTV Christmas stamp which I've coloured in Promarkers. Various Nesties were used on this card.

Have a lovely day! Thanks for popping in!

Another Christmas card with my favourite LOTV stamp from the Christmas range. This card is for Gail. I have used lacey circle Nesties behind the images and the Grande Nesties for the card.

Enjoy your day!

Hi everyone, I have been working in my garden for days now. Cutting trees, putting down compost, planting new vegetables and generally cleaning up after it has been neglected for a while. I haven't made any Christmas cards besides those for my close stamping friends and one that I posted, it is very sad.

Here is a card that I made for Lee-Ann with another cute LOTV stamp coloured with Promarkers. I have used the Fleur de Lis square die to make a snowflake behind the image and my Grande Nesties for the shaped card.

Hope you are enjoying the run up to Christmas. I am very relaxed about it this year. The Christmas tree and outside lights are up, all the gift shopping is done and wrapped. My menus for Christmas and Boxing days are planned and I will do the last minute groceries on Friday and on Saturday the cookathon will start.

Have a wonderful day!

It is a public holiday in South Africa today and a long weekend, I am really looking forward to it as I have been burning the candle at both ends and have not been feeling well the last 2 days. So it is time to chill a little, have the odd afternoon nap and put my feet up a little before the hectic cooking week arrives. I have finished the Christmas shopping and half of it is wrapped, hope to finish the tree and decorations today and need to make the grocery shopping list for next week.

Today's card is back to traditional Christmas colours, the images are from LOTV, coloured in Promakers and again I have used the Grande Nesties to cut out the card.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and enjoy whatever you do.

I'm sure you are wondering if I have made any Christmas cards as I have been so quiet lately. Sorry life has got in the way of blog posting and I hope to catch up soon. I have loads of photos to share with you.

Here is my first Christmas card using a LOTV stamp coloured with Promarkers, isn't she cute? I am so enjoying my Grande Nestabilities that allow me to cut these beautiful shaped cards. And I used Marianne's Design dies for the lacey rectangle, flowers and flourishes. I am trying to use non-traditional Christmas colours for a change and love this green and pink combo.

Enjoy your evening!
