Humorous Senior Christmas Card

The Challenge today on Charizma Cards is a sketch and as I've been making Christmas cards recetly, this seems to be the logical thing to do.

This hilarious image is from one of our ever popular stamp sheets that can be bought by clicking on the image of the sheet below.
Merry Christmas to you all.

Oh Christmas Tree!

A fairly cliched title to this post I know but you're entitled to be cliched at Christmas. It's the best time to be so.

For this post I've used one of our fabulous Christmas stamps that are so reasonably priced. This one is the green Christmas tree. Very modern, don't you think?

The card is simple too as I wanted to keep the lines very clean. So this is what I came up with:


This card is made with nestabilities and doodlebug paper but the star of the show is the tree image in the centre.

Ribbon is 3mm red ribbon with white spots.

My Time to Craft Challenge 'Under My Umbrella'

The latest challenge at My Time to Craft is, 'Under My Umbrella', So I have the perfect stamps to use for this and it's one that I've been itching to use.

The image is created with the mouse and Umbrella stamp from Stampinback and you can get one just like it by clicking here.

Snowman card from our new stamps

We have a set of fantastic new stamps in the online Craft Fairy store and I've made a card from just one of the little snowmen. He is just the perfect size for an A6 card and I'm sure that you'll love him too.

To make this card you will need the snowman stamp which at only £3 is a super bargain.

Some of our dotty red satin ribbon.

I also used Doodlebug paper from my stash and Kuretake pens to colour up the stamp.

Thank You Card for Pink Elephant Challenge

I hope that I'm not the last one to enter this challenge. Better late than never though for the 'Thanks' challenge on the Pink Elephant blog.

This card is made with a stamp from the Cartes Postal sheet that I love so much.

Allsorts Challenge 27, 'Children'

The challenge on Allsorts this week is for a card for a child so....this card is for my grand daughter. It's a very special card this year as the one that I made for her last year was lost in the post.



The card uses my favourite colour too so for me it's just perfect.

If you want to re-creat something similar you will need:

Stamps Kids 76 from the Merry Stamper

Pink Dotty Grosgrain Ribbon

A pink bloom

A pink button

Some paper and card

Scissors, 3d foam pads. glue etc.

Have fun.

Ribbon Picture

Just when some of you might have been under the impression that all I could make was cards, here is the latest offering. It is a ribbon canvas that is decorated with paper flowers and a stamped saying from 'I Brake for Stamps'. This canvas is a joint venture with my daughter and you will find her blog, Bargain Queen Uk, here.

Give ma a little time and i'll give you the instructions too.

Beavering away

I've been beavering away today and adding new products to the web site. I can't seem to get them on the 'new products' section though. I really don't understand why. I also can't remove the things that are patently not new either. Computers!!!
