A bit of an update...

It's been a while since I've updated. Have been away again running another residential course. Think it's time I get used to them. Had a brilliant time taking the children kayaking, abseiling, climbing and team building.

Anyway, here's another Christmassy Elzybells card I made. Thought it was time to get these little reindeer out again.

And for those who have been waiting to see what I made with my Stampin' Up stash, well the truth is not much. I've been playing a lot with the things but haven't actually 'made' anything. Have been playing with the wheel, practicing sponging and inking up, punching out loads of tags and seeing what fits in them etc. Anyway, I'm waffling again so here are a couple of quick makes:

Here's a simple 10cm by 10cm card where I'd been practicing inking edges. Not really sure about it. I do love how the Elzybells words fit in the label though. Being clear stamps and having the ability to build the sentence yourself is such an advantage.

Also thought it was about time to get my lace templates out and I've been waiting to use these double sided papers to create the folds. Again a small 10 by 10 card.

And here's one I stamped using my Promarkers! It's the first time I've tried it and it matches the backing card. Also think a Pink Christmas card is a bit unusual. Background embossed on the Cuttlebug.

And last but not least (as I think it's my favourite) is this simple stenciled sponge baubles. Cut some circles out on a post it note using my nesties and used the Star stamp to create a pattern using Old Olive ink. Then simply sponged the same ink over it (actually it might have been the other way round lol!!!). Then drew on some cord and stamped an elzy greeting.
