That's everything ready for Christmas..

Everything is ready and waiting for Christmas day and I have a whole afternoon to myself today. This morning my House Mouse stuff arrived (excellent delivery from the Joanna Sheen website - ordered Wed night and delivered this morning). But I am going to finish off a few other projects first....my room is littered with half finished stuff. 

So, in the spirit of finishing projects, I have finished the cards from one of the Gorjuss kit I got and here they are. Sorry about the quality of photo - the sun is so bright this morning (not complaining).

For this one I used a flourish stamp and burgundy ink to decorate the backing paper and a few jewels just to decorate:

This next one is the same image but decorated slightly differently. Used a flourish stamp and burgundy ink to stamp the top of the backing paper and then used gold liquid pearls to highlight parts of the flourish etc.




This one is my favourite I think - again used a flourish stamp with charcoal ink on the background paper with three black gems and three white ones at the bottom:


This is the last one and yes you guessed it, used the flourish stamp with green ink (backing paper is green but somehow this is lost in the photo). Added a heart and gems to finish:


Off now to crank up the Cameo and work on my shadow box. Have a good weekend everyone and thanks for visiting x

Busy busy busy

Got such a lot to do today I am not sure where we are going to fit it all in. In fact, not had a lot of craft time at all this past couple of weeks. But the Christmas tree is going up today and some presents are getting delivered and then next weekend I can sit back and relax.....lovely.

These two Santa's were cut out on the Silhouette and I love them. They took 5 mins to put together and are the perfect gift card holders - the top of the hat pulls out to show the card. I used bits of scrap papers left over from other projects.


Got to dash off now, hope everyone is having a good weekend x
