Christmas Cards 2011
These are photos of some of the cards I have made for this Christmas, 2011. Several of them were duplicated – though not identical – they were basically the same idea so I only photographed one of them . I like to keep a record just so I can look back next year and see what I did and make sure...
Michael Strong Holiday Tag Blog Hop
Time for the Holiday Tag Blog Hop! There are 13 blogs to visit and you should have come here from Mike’s – if you get lost then please go back to Hetty’s Blog and you’ll find all the links there. You’ll find the scavenger hunt letter you’re searching for at the bottom...
Santa Millie
We have had this little ‘angel’ staying with us for a week – what a joy and a great pleasure it was to care for her while her parents had a nice, warm holiday in Egypt. I know I shouldn’t have bought a silly little dress for her to wear for such a brief period of time but I couldn’t...
Anything by Tim!
The Stamp Man Challenge Blog has tempted me with their “Anything By Tim” (as in Holtz) Christmas post. I don’t have many of his stamps – in fact, only the one!, but I used it three times to make it look like more I began by pressing Distress Ink pads (Fired Brick and Peeled Paint)...
My Christmas Cards are finished
I’ve been working on them on and off for months now, determined not to get to December and start panicking. Every time we’ve had a challenge or some ‘homework’ to do at Stamp Club I have made it a Christmas Card. Every time I’ve seen a new technique I fancied trying, I...
M-I-L Christmas Collection
Well, it serves her right! My M-I-L is always telling me how much she loves the cards I make so I decided that for her Christmas present this year I’d give her a box full of cards she can use throughout the year. She is 90 years old now and it’s so very hard to find something to buy for...
That’s Odd!
Over at StampTV they’re having a Release Party Challenge which called for using odd numbers of ‘things’ on a card but more than just ‘one’. So I cut some Heirloom Ornaments out of plain card using the Spellbinder Dies and then coloured them with Copper Paint Dabber by...
Sir Stampalot Challenge
At the Sir Stampalot Challenge Blog they’re asking “let your imagination run riot and show us what you will be sending out to friends and family this Christmastime”. Well, I’ve been making loads of different Christmas Cards for the past few months but I have to say that I’m...
Christmas Wreath
Many years ago a lovely lady called Pauline started to run a Holly Wreath Class in the community hall of Llanasa. She advertised it through the W.I. and it was incredibly popular. Obviously, being near Christmas, the weather was cold, and the hall was equally cold and totally charmless! We huddled...
Stamping Workshop part 2
The afternoon session saw Gloria and Sue swap places and Sue proceeded to show us how to make this fabulous Star Book. Again, we didn’t know what we were due to produce but had duly brought along ‘themed’ stamps as directed. My theme was ‘Christmas’, Jan’s was ‘Faces’....
Christmas Angel
For the Women’s Institute section of our local agricultural show, we had to make a Christmas Decoration one year. I had recently done a stumpwork class so thought I’d incorporate that into this angel. She hasn’t got the prettiest face in the world but she’s all mine so I’ve...
Embroidered Xmas Cards
A couple of years ago I embroidered all my Christmas Cards – by machine, mostly, but some by hand. Unfortunately, I didn’t remember to photograph every single one of them, my overseas ones had already been posted (as had a whole bunch of UK ones) before Tweet ...
