CCC Challenge 9 Cosy Cute Christmas

Hello to Everyone. Total change to the weather now, quite a miserable week with dull skies, thunder, lightning and some sunshine.
Today is another Challenge at CCC and today it is Zoe's turn to chose our theme, and she would like to see a Cute and Cosy Christmas.  Since I have had a very busy week, I chose to recycle a beautiful card from last year.  It's such a shame we have to get rid of some beautiful cards,  but I keep some pretty ones to recycle again,  not handmade ones I need to add.  So with this one I added it to an 8 X 8 card to which I added a frame a ribbon bow and a hand made Poinsettia.  Hope you are all well and enjoying some crafting too.  Hugs Rita xxxx

Christmas Card Club Challenge 8 : Scene

Hello Everyone. Nice to have you visit my blog, it really makes our card-making worth while, and its much appreciated too.
Well the weather here in the West of Scotland has been sunshine every day for well over a week, and all the gardens are beginning to come to life again. Spring has certainly Sprung.

 So here we are again creating a card for CCC and this time around our theme has been chosen by our lovely Shaz and she would like to see a Christmas scene.  I have actually made two cards this time, the first one is a shadow box card and I have used a Dufex Print ( remember them )  at the back of the box and then used a lovely cut and emboss folder from JND called Trees. I left it white so I could add one of my vellum poinsettias to finish it off. My second card was a topper I found in my box of stash and I thought this would be nice as a scene card too. Another lovely embossing folder layered and matted witg Silver mirri card, to which I added my die sentiment at the bottom edge.  Lastly just to Thank Shaz for a lovely choice and I really enjoyed making my cards.  Till next time Enjoy your Crafting.  Hugs Rita xxx

 

Anniversary card

Good Morning All.  This card was made for a friend on her 10th Wedding Anniversary . I really have fell in Love with these new dies from JND he has always created the most unusual Stamps and dies and the ones I have used to make this card are all from John.  Hope you all have a great weekend.  Hugs Rita xxx  Back to my Grand-Daughters invites now..  Hugs Rita xxx

Floral Framed Card

Good Morning All.  This was the card that I made at the John Lockwood workshop in Sutton in Ashfield last Saturday. The dies we used are so easily cut and the frame fits to perfection. It was then put on a twisted easel card.  I will put a photograph in it later , but I stamped a piece of card using one of Nellie Snellen stamps in white ink, and inserted it inside the frame. The flowers and Foliage were made again using John's stamps and dies. Coloured with Inkz and Crystal paper. ( Flowers Makers Dream to work with ).  We had so much fun and the most wonderful lunch provided by Janet Humphries and all made by Janet herself. Wish I was nearer and I would be a regular at her classes.  Enjoy your Crafting.  Hugs Rita xxx
