Lottsa Christmas Flowers and Coloured Poinsettias!

I just uploaded a hootinanny of things at the STORE!

5 Christmas Flower Coloured Sheets
one painted by our very own DT Carol L!
Poinsettia & Pine Boughs Coloured ( cuz somebody asked ;P )
And a quite different but very pretty Christmas Set called Candle Glow Christmas Flower.
That one has 9 coordinating papers and contains some lovely circular sentiments:

Wishing You Peace, Love & Happiness!
Joy to the World, The Lord has Come!
Jesus, Light of the World Shine Upon Us


Here are some cards made using the set.



Deets: This one is best on matte photo paper and with copious amounts of glitter! I use mainly Diamond Stickles.. it just had the right glow about it. I added the same stickles to the snowflake paper; this paper has a pale yellow glow in some of the larger snowflakes... really pretty. The blue glittery strip is light blue Doodlebug glitter on Sore-Tape. All the papers are included in the set. Martha Stewart Lattice punch, Fiskars corner punch, CB embossing folder, nesties scalloped circle, and I am really digging peel-offs lately. Which is good because I have gathered quite a stash and need to use it up LOL.


I am not done... but done in. LOL I am still not sick woohoo! I have a card half done with the coloured Poinsettia & Pine Boughs sheets on my desk. And some more digis up my sleeve... and the other things. Be back soon!

CARD - using Blue Blossom Sheet


I finally got a chance to use the Dark Blue Blossom Sheet ( By the Sheet section). I showed a side view to show the dimension I got by using silicone glue and moulding the flowers. I used Stickles on centers of flowers and distress stickles ( Faded Jeans) on the blue scalloped frame. The sentiment is from a Stampendous Clear Stamp collection I got a CropStop... ( Orchid Greetings) The colours on this one really pop... I chose the vivid photo setting on my printer and used Staples brochure and flyer paper... which I think is matte photo paper.

Cards, PinstripePapers Digi-Freebie & one sheet LOL

Sorry about the delay. This weekend was a bust LOL, between family and icky sicky kids, I did not get much done. But I did putz away and made a few paper pricking cards and managed to assemble a freebie for you :)

First here is the card



I made a folder of I think 17 8X8 pinstripe papers for you to take and have fun with. They are in pastels shades and some neutral shades. I love them for paper pricking on.
You can find and download them HERE.

A word of warning.. the download is SMALL but it unzips and expands ALOT ( 12 MB).

The other backing paper is something I am working on.. some petit fleur papers. I didn't like how light it printed so I have to adjust them a bit more, there is supposed to be a faint white swirly pattern behind the little flowers, it just didn't print grrr. I distressed and blended some Dried Marigold and Peeled Paint distress inks here and there on the card. The Black-Eyed Susan ( and PP pattern are from the Fall Flowers Digi Set) is coloured with pencils and OMS. I added loose outlines around the flowers in the patterned paper with gold lumiere paint for some glitz.. and gold dewdrops.

I have also started making a "By the Sheet" designs. Carol L. has made a lovely card using the sheet I am putting up at the store... a lone sheet who was supposed to have friends but will soon LOL. The blossom is a colour that is NOT in the Lovely Blossom & Butterfly Decoupage Set.



Here is a preview of the sheet, Just about everything you need to complete a cardfront is on one sheet... how neat is that? LOL please let me know what you think... if this is something I should continue with ;)



I will put this one up at the store, it will be in a "By the Sheet" section HERE :) ... and I will add more as I make them.

Have a great day!
