Yes, Christmas is coming soon

Hello sweet bloggers,

I have an order for seven Christmas cards so am trying to complete that. So here is yet another one with my new clear stamp from Technique Tuesday. I have used sparkly printed paper and shiny ribbon which matches the design of the printed paper. The image has been touched with my silver Sakura gel pen to let it sparkle even more. A small crystal gem in the centre completes the picture.

Down below is a birthday cake I ordered as a surprise for Aleeza's previous class teacher. And I called her home and we had a tiny celebration with the surprise cake.

Here is Aleeza and her ex teacher with the cake. Aleeza seems a bit tired after a long day at school.

Yet another Christmas card...

Hello sweet peeps,

Yet another Christmas card to show you - with a Penny Black stamp coloured with Sakura metallic gel pens in gold, red and glitter. The edges of the oval nestie have been sponged with brushed corduroy and the gold oval is very pretty handmade paper from Indonesia. The bow is handmade and the tiny gold dots (done with fabric 3D glitter glue) you see at the bottom actually hide some stains.

Smiley Snowman

Hello sweet peeps,

Here is another card for Christmas made with my Hero Arts clear stamp set. It was bought last year and am using it for the first time. I have coloured him gently with my Prisma pencils. The printed paper with sparkly squares is fancy gift wrap and the glittery snowflakes are punched. There is glitter at the bottom of the snowman and I have used glitter glue dots for the effect of snow. The die cut sentiment from WonderHouse is new as well. It was quite a task to get a decent picture with all the glitter, you know.

My second Christmas card

Hello bloggers,

Here is my card to show you for today which is my second creation for Christmas. I cannot remember the name of the cling stamp as I have thrown away the packaging. However I love this stamp no end. I stamped it with a Docraft red stamp pad and coloured it over that with my Prismas. I have sponged the sides lightly with TH Old Paper. The sparkly ribbon is from American Craft and the gems from Paper Mania.

Sold another 17 cards...

Hello sweet bloggers,

I have good news to share which is I have sold 17 cards. And I have got an order for seven Christmas cards and seven Diwali cards.
My card to share with you is my first Christmas card of the season. The gold ribbon and cord is from my stash while the stars were sent to me by Sandra. The dull gold embossed paper is fancy gift wrap and the sentiment is from Penny Black. I have stamped that pattern under the sentiment with my Prima clear stamp using my Brilliance ink in pearlescent beige.

Hold on to your peace

Hello dear bloggers,

I just LOVE this sentiment from Unity Stamps and could use it over and over again. The printed paper is fancy gift wrap and I like it immensely. Did some faux stitching, added two cords and a shell button and it seemed ready. Had to go over the sentiment with my white gel pen.

White with some colour

Hello sweet peeps,

Here is my card to show you today - white with some colour. The image is a stamp from India which I have coloured in with my Prisma pencils. An embossed sentiment with a die cut corner and my card was ready. Trying to better myself at making flat cards slowly but surely.
