I hope you all had a nice Christmas Day.  We had a good day with family but the weather wasn't great in the afternoon.  Ah well - maybe next year.

 

These are a couple of recent cards I put together now my craft room is on the way to being a little more organised.

 

This sympathy card uses a retired Stampin Up stamp from the Embrace Life set with a Hastings Rubber Stamp In Sympathy stamp.

 

 

 

 

This one is from the Stampin Up Heartfelt Thanks set.  I just love what you can do with these two stage stamps.

For the last one I used some lovely leaf stamps from Montarga Rubber Stamps here in Christchurch with a bit of Stampin Up Gorgeous Grunge and the sentiment is from the Made For You set (also retired).

 



 

 

I hope you have a Happy New Year and find some time to do some craft of some kind over the holiday break.  I will be back in 2014.

I have finally found some time to get back and post a photo of my Christmas cards for this year.  I have used a Couture Creations holly die and washi tape.  The Merry Christmas stamp is from a retired Stampin Up set called Season Of Joy.

 



My Craft Room is close to being complete, just needs a couple of bookcases and a bit of organisation, then I will be right into lots of stamping and things next year.

 

I wish you and your family a safe and Happy Christmas and Best Wishes for 2014.

Wow its been a long time since my last post.  I have been making Christmas cards and been busy with moving back into my house after having earthquake repairs and renovations done - its been exhausting.

 

So I thought I would share some of my earlier cards - that is the ones that I'm not too embarrassed to show as the ones I make now are much better.

 

This is one of the first I made for my husband's birthday back in 2011 - he's into motorbikes and planes.

 

 

 

 

The next is the first I made for my Mum's birthday.  I love the tissue paper flowers and there is Liquid Pearls at the bottom of the bird cage.

 

 

 

 

This is a wedding card made for a friend, again using tissue paper flowers.

 





 

A birthday card for my sister.

 



A Mother's Day card.

 

And another birthday card.  This time with little rolled flowers which I love making. 

 

 

 

 

 

Have a good week - Judith
