Christmas in July

The challenge on Card Crafter's Circle Challenge   is Christmas in July.

I adore these Lili of the Valley stamps and I hope their new ones out soon will include some with this little girl.  Coloured with Promarkers and cut out using a Spellbinders Labels Thirteen die.  I added glitter to the trim on the hood and the snow on the ground.

More topper cards

A few more cards made with the toppers hiding in my cupboard,  

Here is another window die, the Heartfelt Creations one with a Kanban 

topper behind it and Marianne flourish dies behind a Kanban sentiment.  I also cut the backing card using a Spellbinders Grand die.

Here is another card using the same window and backing card but with the window shutters closed.  Looks a bit plain in the scan like this.

and another card using the same window and more Kanban toppers and sentiments.

This time the window is cut with mirri card and the rest of the backing card from the card I made yesterday.  I like this card and will have to see if I can get anymore of it.

Terrible weather

What terrible weather, deffinately not the weather to have a holiday.

Back to crafting.  I have not made a card for a couple of weeks but I will be back to normal soon.  I have a few to show you using my new dies and some toppers I have had for a few years.  Why I bought so many I don't know as I have hardly used any but they cannot stay unused.  

The topper is a Kanban one from a few years ago and she is matted onto the Spellbinders Lacey Squares die and the Poinsettia is also a Spellbinders set of dies.  I think the Poinsettia one is going to be well used this year.  The backing card is also from Kanban.

Another Kanban topper put behind a window die from Cottage Cutz.  The sentiment is also from Kanban and put ontop of a Spellbinders die and the flourish's are cut from a Marianne die.  I printed the card used to make the base last year and I think it was from a Crafter's Companion CD.

I have LOADS more toppers and I am determined to use them this year, well maybe not all of them but I will use a good number of them.  They make good quick cards especially with the dies I have.

Garden of Wishes Fairy

Bingo on the The Stamping Boutique blog this week.

I have chosen the top line Flowers, Bling, Image and Sentiment.  My bling is glitter on her wings.

The fairy is from Lili of the Valley and coloured with Copic's.  I think the backing paper is from one of the Crafter's Companion CD's not sure which one as I have loads that I printed of over the years and I am trying hard to use them all up before I print more.

Summer in my Garden

I have been playing with my new Copics and I love them.  I coloured this Sarah Kay image and I am very pleased with the way the jeans have turned out.

Actually I am pleased with most of it but especially the jeans.

Here is the completed card

I am going to enter this into the following challenges

Cute Card Thursday  Here Comes Summer

Raise the Bar   There challenge is Summer


The sun was shining in my garden today although you would not know it was Summer, the wind was blowing a gale and it was cold.  I did have a visitor today, it's not often I see butterflies these days but one came in today, I think he was sheltering from the wind and he stayed still long enough for me to get my camera and take a photo.
