Autumn Days

By
Today is a busy day as I am off to see Mum and Dad and of course Mum and me will be going out for some girly shopping and lunch so I have scheduled this post.
I made it Thursday afternoon while Bev was paying a visit and I have used the perfect stamp set for the season - Autumn Days - take a look


I love adding squares to my projects at the moment and this time I decided to add less squares and put some stamping behind them. I used autumnal shades from my palette of Stampin' Up inks and also added a little rust coloured ribbon. My aim was to make the leaves look like they were blowing about in the wind - it's been very windy here lately!
Hope everyone has a good weekend and the weather is not too chilly - bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    Oooh, love this squares idea! A perfect colour combo for Autumn too. You've done a fab job with the Autumn Days set. I struggle using this set but you've inspired me with this card. I'll be getting the stamps inky some time soon, thanks for the inspiration!

    This is a lovely card and I like the squares spaced out with the background stamping - great

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.
