Phoenix Inspirations

It's time for another challenge over at  Christmas 24 And this week the theme is Here is my card A bit of masking went into this card and some colour blending with some brushes too. Coloures used are: SaharaSand Emerald Envy (retired) Early Espresso Poppy Parade Stamp sets used are: Peaceful Boughs Natures Beauty All products used are Stampin' Up - message me to order on jacquelinenm68@gmail.com Can you believe it's September already and less than 20 weeks to Christmas! I do love this time of year though it's so lovely to see the changing colours of the leaves on the trees and feeling that nip in the air as the first frosts arrive. Fall crafting is also fun as the colours are so exciting to work with. Check my Facebook Page Phoenix inspirations for more cards and live video crafting.

Morning all.  If you are reading this post you will be one of my most faithful followers and I thank you all most heartily as I know I haven't been very consistant as of late. My mum who is 76 has just been diagnosed with Alzhiemer's disease . She has been struggling memory wise for about two years now but only recently consented to a medical test. After undergoing the tests she declined to know what was wrong with her, accept any medication or help. Thankfully I am receiving help through various organisations.

I've been doing a lot of Facebook Live videos lately on my page Phoenix Inspirations and one of them was using this little set - Inspiring Iris.

I try and do live videos most days so please do try and join me. Thanks for stopping by today - I hope to see you again soon. J xx

This is a beautiful little set with loads of floral images and sentiments. It's photopolymer which means the stamps are clear and that makes for better placement when stamping. It's also fab for making a one sheet wonder like I did for these cards - take a look The cards start off as one sheet of A4 card stock which you stamp over with your stamps - before being cut up. Once your sheet is full it's cut into four quarters and then trim to fit your cards. Add sentiments and you are done. Don't forget to decorate the inside of your card and your envelopes The stamp set is Beautiful Friendship and you can place your order with me - email me on jacquelinenm68@gmail.com I will even give you free p+p if you place your order before June 30th. Pop onto to my Facebook page to see the video of how I made these cards Video Thanks for taking alook today - please pop back again soon - Jxx
