Reflection technique Christmas reindeer

I certainly can't take credit for this idea but have played around with it and made my own take. I love Christmas time but and not so keen on the standard red and green and like to use more unusual combinations.  This year in all the shops there are a lot of blue tone cards and blues and teals are a firm favourite of mine. These couple of cards are sponged in tones of blues and teals with some Sakura white 3D gel pens to add dimension to the water. Really like the way this has turned out.

 It is a very wet and blustery day so ideal to spend time in my craft room and play around with more Christmas cards. Keep dropping by for more ideas 💜

How to make bobby dazzler embellishments

This is a little tip that I saw recently on a crafting channel and thought was such a great idea that I would have a go and try it.

Glue gun big dollops of hot glue on a silicone or glass sheet and immediately sprinkle with glitter of choice. Wait a few minutes to dry completely and then peel off and use.

This was my first attempt so they are a bit misshapen but have done some more and they are great. Can coordinate the glitter to match whatever project and cost a fraction of the cost of buying them. Can make approx 50 large ones from a single glue stick 

Stampin' Up! sprinkles of life with Happy patterns decorative borders

Well it is a horrible wet day. It started raining first thing this morning and it hasn't stopped all day. Yes the garden desperately needs the water but as I love being outdoor in the sunshine it has been a day to do some crafting.  I recently got a couple of new products from Stampin Up so these are some cards I made.

There is a lovely co-ordinating punch which makes the job easier and the stencils make for a love,y background to match the colours of the main image.

As always all of my cards are for sale so just drop me a message if there is something you would like. Have a happy day and thanks for dropping by.
