Hello! Welcome! Today I wanted to share a simple background technique that works really well with snowflakes and winter themed stamps. I'm using Craftin Desert Divas lastest release stamp set: Christmoose and the Snowflake Border die.  Card Instructions: Step 1: Create your background by drawing squiggly lines using Copic markers B00 through to B02 on Copic friendly cardstock. Corner punch the top right corner. Card front measurements: 10cm x 14.5cm Step 2: Die-cut three rows of snowflakes using the Snowflake Border die. Step 3: Adhere silver glitter cardstock behind your card front. Using black ink stamp the sentiment. Step 4: (Optional) Add machine stitched details. Step 5: Using foam tape adhere the Copic coloured in moose and snowflakes. Step 7: Embellish with sequins and twine. Adhere card front to an A6 card base. Here are two more card examples using the same technique – it’s a very quick technique perfect for re...

This months  Elizabeth Craft Designs  designer challenge theme is a  Floral Christmas - this could be simply a Christmas tree or the pretty Poinsettia or other Christmas foliage that is used for Christmas decorations. For my card today I am using the new released  Poinsettia   Clear Stamp set with coordinating dies and the  Classic Christmas Sentiments  Clear Stamp set. Coloured in with Copic Markers:  Leaves: G14/G16/G17/G19 Flower: R22/R24/R27/R29 I kept this card quite simple. Firstly by stamping a light grey leafy background before colouring in and adding the Poinsettia flower. I embellished the card with sequins and added a twine bow. I also highlighted the center of the flower with a gold pen.   For more Christmas Floral inspiration check out what the design team has created - here .

It's November! Where on earth did October go? The next few posts I'll be playing blog catch up... October was actually a really awesome month - During the school holidays the family did an overnight camping trip, my middle child turned 4 and last weekend I took part in my first market to sell a few of the handmade cards I've made over the years. It was also a very creative month but slacking in the blog writing department! Here is a card I made for the latest release by Craftin Desert Divas . This stamp set was so cute I decided to pair it up with Winter Wonderland dies to create a very textural card. Stamp: Stocking Stuffers Die: Winter Wonderland Dies Image coloured in with Copic Markers. Happy Crafting! Check out the whole release over at Craftin Desert Divas - October release is now available. Get ready for sneak peeks of the November release.
