A Fairy Merry Christmas...

Hi Susan here...

I am making Christmas cards like mad now....I sit in my craftroom and say I'll not make any more...but then I see a stamp and there you go I start on another card....


I have used a base red card from Paper Mill Direct and then put a piece of vellum on the top.
My flowers are from Hobby Craft, I have used stickles on the edges of the petals.
I have used some new die cut wooden leaves with my flowers for a change and a beautiful tree behind my sentiment. They come in a little tray, I am sure you will all have seen these in your craft shops.
The ribbon is East of India, this is beautiful ribbon such fabulous quality, it spoils you for any other.
My sentiment is an old wooden stamp that I have had in my stash for years, it's such a versatile stamp and I use it often. I have used a die for the backer of my sentiment, this was designed by Ann Vento for her ticket sentiments, I coloured the edges with distressing inks and then added stickles.


This gorgeous fairy is from Sugar Nellie, I have used chalks to colour the image very delicately and then added stickles to her wings and wand etc....
I have used a beautiful die cut backer in a pale pink slightly shiny card from Paper Mill Direct, this card is gorgeous, it has a beautiful sheen to it and even embosses absolutely fabulous, I have used Tim Holtz distressing inks to colour around the edges.


I hope you have enjoyed looking and thank you for your comments.
Love and hugs

Snowflakes for a Fairy....

Hi Susan here....

Yes...I have made another Christmas card....I love them, but most of all I love these new Sugar Nellie Stamps...they are gorgeous and so inspirational, you just can't help make cards with them!!

Anyway, as I have told you before I need some extra cards this year and wanted some extra special ones so I have been spending some time and making an array of cards all different.....I hope you all like them.



Well what do you think....I adore pink Christmas cards they are so different from the traditional ones, and of course it just happens to be my favourite colour.

The ribbon, lace and pearls are from our local market. The snowflake edges are a die from Tim Holtz, love it so much!! The smaller silver snowflakes are made using a punch.
I have used another die for the swirls, and then coloured them with inks to match the colour scheme.
My backing paper is a beautiful pink multi-tonal paper with snowflakes all over it, this I have had in my stash for years...finally using it!!


This view is so that you can see how it stands up with the snowflakes on the sides.

This is the most beautiful little fairy ever....her name is Titania, and I have used promarkers to colour the image. Unfortunately it looks like I have left the skirt plain but I promise you it is coloured in a very delicate shade of pink. Stickles have been added to the wings and wand.

My flowers are a mix, the smaller roses and buds are from Hobby Craft and the large white one I made using a die, the leaves I made using card, deckle scissors and inks.


Thank you so much for looking, I hope you liked it, your comments mean so much to me.
Love Susan
