Video : Altenew Focus Post – Remember This!
Hi there, today I have a focus post for Altenew and that means you get to see three cards all created using the same stamp set. It’s another fab layering flower set which we know Altenew does so well, this one is called Remember This.
For my first card (and video) I was inspired by this card HERE created by Lisa Johnson, she is amazing and I’ve had this card pinned on my board for ages and purposely didn’t look at it before I started creating as I wanted to create my own version…. there are still lots of similarities though, but how do you improve on perfection. Thanks Lisa for the inspiration.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

Here’s my next card, I thought I would go for a vintage style look,
For my final card I couldn’t stop adding gold…

Deck the Halls – Just in time!
Just in time… Merry Christmas to you all! If things have gone to plan (ie a 7 hour drive Christmas eve with no hiccoughs) I am now at my brother’s enjoying a lovely relaxing Chrissy by the pool and enjoying some great food and bubbles.
Todays cards were published in the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine for the ‘Just in Time’ feature where the call was to create two similar cards, one that was easy and one more detailed. Me? I like the clean and simple one.
Hope your day will be as fun as mine, big hugs and wishes to you and yours,

Video : Colour with ‘U’ – Blender pen v’s pigment ink!
Something a little different for me today. Sometimes I really struggle to get that nice ‘baby pink’ when I use Copics or pencils so decided to get out the blender pen with my Angel Pink Memento Luxe, and the colour is perfect! I filmed as I created for you to watch.

Just in Time for Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone!
I made these cards months ago as they were for a publication call with the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine, but I think they are my favourite Chrissy cards for this year. I really like the simplicity of the first and then the bokeh colours, well they kinda make me smile, especially with the shimmer of the sequins. I hope that today you find a smile and get to spend some time with some fun people and of course eat-a-plenty!
(For this call we had to make a card that had two versions one that was simple and easy to reproduce and a more complex version for special friends & family)
Hope you have a wonderful day, whatever it is that you are doing,
Hugs & Love
Other Supplies: Clear & Pink Sequins
