Christmas Card Club - "Trees"

Good morning all.

Shaz has asked to see "Trees" (indoor or out) over at the Christmas Card Club this week.


A very quick batch of four as I have my Mum staying for the weekend. Stamps are Penny Black and were a magazine freebie. Die from Spellbinders.

Christmas Card Club - "Sentiment as Focus"

Good morning all.

It was my turn to set the theme over at the Christmas Card Club this week and I've asked the ladies for "Sentiment as Focus".


It was my intention to make several cards this week but with a busy month of birthdays time ran away with me. This uses dies from Crafters Companion and Spellbinders and the sentiment in from Stamping All Day.

Please excuse the awful photograph but I had to take it at night!

Christmas Card Club - "Christmas Wreaths"

Good afternoon all.

I'm running late today....another fortnight gone so it must be time for the Christmas Card Club to share our wares. The lovely Rita has set us the theme of "Christmas Wreaths".
I used my favourite wreath stamp last year to make a batch of last minute cards so couldn't use it this time. I did however find another magazine freebie to make this card with.


All the stamps were in the freebie, stamped on white card and simply matted. Dies are from Lawn Fawn and Spellbinders. I did add some stickles to the berries after taking this photo.

Christmas Card Club - "Poinsettia or Christmas Greenery"

Good morning all.

It's Christmas Card Club time once more and this week Mary has asked us to show her our "Poinsettias or Christmas Greenery". I managed a quick card last night as it's been a busy week birthday card wise with my Mum 85 and a great niece one today and my son in law later in the week!


Using a cute stamp from Wild Rose Studio coloured with promarkers...it's so long since I coloured anything I've forgotten how! Dies are from Wplus9.

Christmas Card Club - "Animals at Christmas"

Good morning all.

Wishing you all a Happy Easter and hoping the weather isn't dampening the holiday weekend too much for you. The light evenings this last week have been lovely and it's certainly starting to feel more like spring, especially in the garden.

"Animals at Christmas" is the theme set by the lovely Kate this week over at our little Christmas Card Club.

I managed to make a quick couple of simple ones last night. Spent the week getting the house cleaned thinking we were going to have visitors today but found they'd gone home early yesterday due to the weather!


Card and topper from The Works, die from WPlus9.


Card and decoupage topper from The Works, tag die from Die-namics, tree and bow from my stash.

Christmas Card Club - "Christmas Flowers"

Good morning all.

"Christmas Flowers" has been set as the theme for our little Christmas Card Club this week by the lovely Rachel. One quick decoupage card from me this time as I have my Mum staying and didn't get myself organised before she came.


Decoupage from Joanna Sheen which has been in my stash for many a year! Dies from Wplus9 and Spellbinders.

Christmas Card Club - "Robins"

Good morning all.

Hope everyone is warm and dry in this wintery weather. We had about a foot of snow but it drifted badly off the field above us and there were 6/7 foot snow drifts filling about half a mile of road down into town. We were cut off for the best part of two days...which wouldn't have mattered except I badly needed a prescription picked up so eldest had to battle his way in on foot, about a four mile round trip!

Mrs A set this weeks theme over at the Christmas Card Club and she'd like to see a "a Robin or more". We've had a few of them in the garden and I have a few photos I intend to use for family cards but haven't got around to getting them done yet. So here are half a dozen little cards to add to my stash.


Stamp is from a magazine freebie, coloured with promarkers. Dies are from Spellbinders. A very simple design which was easy to batch make.
