OMG!! And the start of Christmas card making!!

Hi all well I've definitely been a naughty blogger this year. My aim at the beginning of the year was to blog more. Has that happened? Well I think we all know the answer to that one is a definite no!! 22nd February since my last blog and were now 22nd August. A full six months has past without a single blog. That just won't do!!! 

Must try better! Must try better! Must try better! Must try better! Must try better! Must try better! Must try better! Must try better! Must try better!

Well to get the ball rolling I'm starting making my Christmas cards. Here's a quick one I made yesterday with my lili of the valley art pad and paper pad. I have used distress ink to give that more vintage look. 


The base card is made using my new crafts too side stepper die. I just love how quick it is to use!!

Well I have a bit of crafty time this morning and this evening so my aim is to make at least 3 Christmas cards. Wish me good luck. 

Take care all and happy crafting

Birthday Card Trio

 Hello all, I'm back again with another post for you. This time I've got three cards to show you.  These are all made with products from Crafter's Companion. The 1st is another dragon card made using one of the Lee Holland Dragon stamps. I love these little characters :) I've had coloured this using spectrum noir colour blend pencils. I just love how much of a fun looking card you can make with these stamps.    Next is a card made using a unicorn stamp. This has also been hand coloured with pencils. I've also used some backing papers and matt mirror and glitter card from Sara's Enchanted forest collection. Finally I've made a card using my Crafter's Companion BeBunni CD. It's a while since I've used this cd but I forgot how cute these little bunnies are.   All of the cards have been personalised with die cut numbers and letters for the names. Hope to see you all again soon. Rachel

In the Night Garden

This card is for an order I have been given. The lady wanted a card with an In the Night Garden theme and Igglepiggle for her Grandson. I found images on the internet and decoupaged the bottom pannel and added peel offs to this. Igglepiggle has been mounted onto white card which I have embossed using my dotty folder in my cuttlebug and then matted this onto co-ordinating blue card stock. The base card was from my cardstock stash which I have made a 21cm square card with. I then added peel off stars to finish the card off. Thanks for looking Hugs Rachel
