Christmas 2017

Hello All

These are my last Christmas cards for 2017 and I 'd like to wish you all a

 Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Very simple design made easier with the misti.

Glad you liked yours Lis!

Thanks for all your visits over the last 12 month!

Penquins

Hello All

Sharing some more penguins with you all, just used different colour scheme, these will be for brothers and sisters.

Have you spotted my little mistake....I will be sending that one to my sister....lol

The design is based on one of Jodie Johnsons from Tonic.

Mostly Tonic dies used, I think the Happy Christmas is a Britannia die, with distressed ink background and glitter.

Thanks for visiting!

Happy New Year

Hello

A big Happy New Year to you all!

This was the card I received in person from my card pal from Florida, Lis and her husband Don were good enough let us stay at their home for a few days. I can't thank them enough!

They live in a beautiful area of florida, where we spent a few days exploring.

These were some goodies that Lis gave me, the cat pouch is for my Misti.

This is Lis and Don a very special couple.

As always thanks for your visit. 

Card and Wallets

Hi all

I'm sharing a Christmas card and some money wallets today.

I saw the money wallets being made on Hochanda and thought it was great idea and had to make some straight away, I changed them slightly as I didn't want to put them into envelopes so I made the slip on band.

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas inkinesss

Hello

Doing well with my Christmas cards, which is good really as I still have birthday ones to fit in as well.

These were made using a Clarity Stencil, Hobby House Stamps and a stampendous stamp ( I think) also my beloved distress inks...lol and it wouldn't be Christmas without the glitter!

Lis, don't look one will be winging it's way to you very soon....lol

As always thanks for your visit.

Christmas

Hello

I'm on catch up at the moment after a week away with my lovely sisters in Rhodes. The weather wasn't brilliant we had some terrible rain but when the sun shone it was red hot.

So onto some more Christmas cards, these are for the younger girls in the family and the papers, image and designs were from a Christmas mag.

Thanks as always for your visit, it is much appreciated.

MIL Christmas

Hello everyone

I 'm just sharing my first christmas card of 2015, it's for my MIL.

I got the inspiration from this lovely blog here.

It's using the free die from Crafter's Companion mag and a Poppystamps Die that I've had for ages and never used (if I knew how to insert an embarrassed face I would) and found that I really liked the die after I'd put it together. I've glittered around the edges just to add a little sparkle...

it is a Christmas card after all...lol

Thank you for your visit, I really do appreciate...

Christmas cards

Hello

Christmas has sneaked up rather quickly, I still have a few to share, these cards were based on a card I made in a Stampin Up class.
Stampin Up cards are generally on the smaller size, so I adapted it to a 6 x 6 card.

As always thanks for your visit and I'd like to take the opportunity you wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Christmas cards

Hiya

I thought it was time I shared some christmas cards with you, these are for my younger nieces. One of my crafty friends came to class with these stamps and I thought they would be great for the girls, so I stamped a few images to use. I love the snowman with his wonky hat and the birds sitting on the Deer's antlers.
I've also added the card for the older girls as well, well they are adults really...lol but I wasn't very happy how these turned out, they looked better in my head.

I've also made my MIL's card and taken a photo, only to realise that I've forgotten to put any sort of greeting on and I've just tidied up and put everything away in my craft room for visitors. It has knocked the smug grin off my face I can tell you...lol

As always thanks for your visit and any comments you may leave.

Christmas

Well I thought I would carry on the theme and share some more Christmas cards with you. These are for my nieces; the top one is for the older girls, the middle one for younger girls, using a Lili of the Valley stamp and then for the smaller ones, where I used a free stamp from a mag.

I'll be sharing some more soon,

Thanks for your visit and any comments are much appreciated.

Jayne Nestorenko
