A 'Twist' on an old favourite.

By
I love making easel cards - they are relatively easy to make and are very effective. The one I have made today is a little bit different though. Instead of the front looking face on - it twists to the side

This what it looks like flat

The flowers come from the gorgeous Vintage Vogue stamp set along with the sentiment from Simply Said and the colours I used were Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive and Certain Celery. The card however is not Stampin' Up but from a pad I bought a while ago from Lidl - £1.99 for 25 sheets - bargain!
Tomorrow is my first workshop of 2011 and we are going to be making a Butterfly Suspension Card so if you pop back then I might have some samples to show you - bye for now - Jacqueline xx.

    Well this is the first twisted easel card I've seen Jacqueline - very snazzy! Love the Vintage Vogue flowers and the spring-like green and pink tells me you're as fed up with your hot water bottle as I am with mine!

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
