Tuesday Taggers Love is all around

Hi Guys

Tuesday Taggers are on a quest for all things LOVEly to take us to Valentines day. The DT have surpassed themselves yet again and produced some fantastic work.

This week I have made an easel box. I have done it in Close to Cocoa and Creamy Caramel. I used the Heart to Heart punch and the Love you much stamp set from SU!

I hope you like it. Don't forget to pop over to Tuesday Taggers to see what the rest of the team have done.

Until next time

Happy crafting

Christmas Cards

Hi Guys

Well I hope that everyone has received their cards by now so that I can show them to you. Many of you will find this very hard to believe but Andy, my darling hubby, made the cards with the Christmas trees on. He stamped the image, coloured with prismacolour pencils, added stickles, matted and layered them and then asked me to help him with the ribbon. I am really proud of him and I think that he has done a fab job and secretly (I think that he is a closet crafter and enjoys it really).

The stamp is from Stampin' Up! Fun and Fast notes. Real Red and garden green card stock.

Until next time

Happy Crafting

Tuesday Taggers - Jolly Old Saint Nick

Hi Guys

Todays challenge on Tuesday Taggers is 'Jolly Old Saint Nick'. The girls on the DT have done a fabulous job again and there are some lovely examples and very varied again. Our guest designer Suzanne has surpassed herself, even though she says that she was very nervous about doing this.

My entry is some punch art. They are boxes of Lindt chocolates that are for spot prizes at my clubs Christmas Social tonight. I have made them in to Santa by using what seemed like hundreds of punches. Seriously though it did take 9 seperate punches to make these. They go like this (all SU! punches)

1 3/4" Circle = head (Blush Blossom)

Small Tag = Hat (Real Red)

1/2" Circle = nose (Blush Blossom)

Boho Blossoms = Pompom (Whisper White)

Scallop Oval = Beard (Whisper White)

1/4" Circle = Eyes (Whisper White)

Scallop Circle = Hair (Whisper White)

1/8" Circle = Eyes (Black)

Scallop Edge = Trim on hat (Whisper White)

His cheeks have been coloured with Stampin' Pastels. His coat is made from a Real Red rectangle with the top corners clipped, a strip of black for his belt and some gold for his belt buckle.

I hope this makes sense to you and you have a go at doing them. If you do, please let me know so that I can come and have a look.

Until next time

Tuesday Taggers - Red, Gold and Green

Hi Guys

This week on Tuesday Taggers we have been challenged to use Red, Green and Gold, we were then told that we could make it Christmassy or not. I thought about making my entry so that it was not Christmassy but it didn't happen.

I am doing punchart with my class this evening so I made something to go with the theme.

Everything I used to make this card is from Stampin' Up! The card stock is Old Olive, Whisper White, Real Red. I have used the stamp set Wondrous Gift, Whisper White grosgrain ribbon and Scallop circle punch.

I punched 5 times from Old olive card stock and cut them into quarters. I have then placed them to look like a tree and then matted and layered it.

I hope you like and until next time

Happy Crafting
