Snuck another Christmas card in

Yes! I know I said I had finished my Christmas cards but I found I needed one more.
This one is very glittery. The cardstock I have used is a thick glitter one. It looks real nice in real life.
I used Spellbinder nestabilities to put Tilda on. She is colored with distress inks and I then put  Star Dust Stickles on her dress which was colored with Victorian Velvet distress re inkers. The tag is also a Spellbinders tag and the sentiment is computer generated. Hope you like it.

 

This is a close up showing the glitter

 

And this is showing the little angel charm. Rather cute I thought.

                        

NZ Aunty

Hello Friends!
My final Christmas card  is going to my aunt in New- Zealand.

She is 88 years young. I have colored this one again with distress inks.

the DP is from a Stampin up designer collection. I have also used a favourite  Spellbinders frame.

It is also one of my favourite Magnolia stamps.

Hi Friends!
Here is another card  with one of the new Christmas stamps from Magnolia.


This one is done in red and pink. I used a MS punch and threaded ribbon through it top and bottom.
I have colored it with Distress inks.

Christmas Hugs

Hi Friends!
This Magnolia stamp of Tilda is called 'Tilda wants a hug' and she can brought from Diana here. She is from the 2010 Christmas collection. My dear friend gave this stamp to me for Christmas. Wasn't I blessed?
The card is quite a simple one for posting. I have found out the hard way how much it costs to post cards with all the trimmings.
I have colored Tilda once again with Distress inks.
Her dress is colored with Dusty Concord
Hair: Walnut stain
Face: Antique Linen
Cheeks: Tattered Rose
Holly in her hair: Bundled sage and berries.. Barn door.

Another Christmas card

Hello Fellow Crafters!
This is another take on the same Tilda stamp. You can tell I haven't got a lot of Tilda Christmas stamps. Once again I have colored her with distress inks and have put an MS border down the sides.
Hugs Maz...A woman of very few words hehe.

Christmas Tilda

Hi Blogger Friends!


Today I decided to color with Prismacolor pencils and odourless white spirits (Gamsol).
I find them so easy to use. I have used some of the new Stampin up papers.
Made the rose and leaves myself. Distressed the edges and did some faux stitching.
These days my machine stitching is rather crooked. I am pleased with my coloring on this card but not so the layout.
Oh! it is so good to be back crafting and feeling well. I go again to the hospital on Monday.
This time I will be having an ultrasound on my stomach and liver. Praying all will be well.

Christmas Gifts

Hi Blogger Friends!


Another Christmas card done. Only about 25 more. At this rate I will be here till Christmas..hehe!!
I have tried to find the name of this Tilda and haven't been successful. She is a favourite of mine. I have coloured her using Distress Inks. The rest is pretty much self explanatory.
No DP's this time. Just embossing on plain cardstock and some flowers that I coloured the edges and made the leaves.

Blessed Christmas

Hi Friends!
To those that wanted to know my prgress....
I went back to the hospital yesterday for my first checkup since being out of hospital. It wasn't the best news that I would have liked. The Urologist said that because the cancer had gone outside the kidney and into the fat surrounding and the renal vein it would be more than likely  the cancer will return. At the moment they have removed all the cancer that they could see and say I am cancer free at this time. The good thing is that they have a new chemo treatment for this that is meant to be very good so that is a plus if it does rear it's ugly head again.

Now onto my card....This is my first Christmas card. I thought I had better get started as I am so slow these days. I used the new Stampin Up Designer papers and cardstock and coloured Tilda with distress inks. This time I didn't make the flowers and have ones on that friends have given me (I'm very lucky).
The Tilda I used is called "Tilda with Violin" and can be brought at Diana's store here.

Cream Christmas card

This is a Christmas card I just finished. I used the Poinsettia border from Spellbinders and the Fancy tag also from Spellbinders.
I love this border die cut as it can be used in so many ways.
I hope you like it.

Prismacolor Tilda

I thought it was time to get some Christmas cards together.
I have just received my Prismacolor pencils and have been practicing using them. I haven't mastered doing the shading on the white yet.

My Doug's card

Hello!
Today my DH is going to New Zealand for a well earned weeks holiday. I sure am going to miss him. Hopefully I can get a few Christmas cards done. He is going to see his 104 year old Mother and his daughters. I thought I would put a card on that is one of two he has made for his girls. The Kangaroo is a die cut from Bosskuts and the Poinsettia is from instructions on Peejays blog. Thanks Pam. This is a terrific flower to make and a lot of fun. Doug has made an excellent job of his card. He had forgotten to put paws on the little Joey before I photographed it but he has paws now. Still an awesome job. Hope you like it.
Blessings

Christmas Card

Today I made my first Christmas card.
I used the spellbinders largest circle die
and the new Fancy tags. I love those tags.
I also used a snowflake punch from Punch Bunch.
The flowers are Poinsettia's. I got the instructions from a tutorial done by
Peejays-crafty-bits.
