Christmas die cuts



I love this Memory Box bauble die. Works well with mirri card mounted on double side adhesive with glitter sprinkled on the adhesive.

Christmas stamps




This is a selection of cards made using Little Claire stamps.

Black & White themes


Men's cards


A couple of new Men's cards - the top one features peel offs and the bottom one uses a Crafts U Print file and glazing.

Gilding

This is another example of gilding. This time, I have stamped directly on to adhesive, added acetate on top to seal the stamp and then gilded on the reverse sticky side. This gives a really professional finish and I love this technique.

Wedding day

One of my favourite techniques at the moment is using gilding flakes. I have used a peel-off on an adhesive sheet, peeled off the top and then gilded the sticky part of the peel-off.

Gorgeous shoes

These shoes were cut with the Silhouette Cameo machine and turned out beautifully. The shoe can be backed with different colours or glittered to give other effects.

Girlfriends

One of my favourite stamps at the moment is made by Art Impressions and is aptly called "Girlfriends". It is great if you want a funny card and can be used for lots of occasions. I sent it to a friend who had recently got divorced and had decided to "grow old disgracefully" - this card fitted the bill perfectly and she was delighted with it.

Birdhouse stamp

I also love stamping and these are some cards that I have made using the Little Claire birdhouse stamp which is really useful for lots of occasions.

My first blog!

Well you have to start somewhere so this is my very first blog! Hope it works.
I have attached a photo of a card that I have just made with my Silhouette Cameo keeping to a monochrome design - let me know what you think.
