Todays post is a Christmas card made with a poppystamps madison window die.I backed it with some acetate, and stuck some lace on the other side to mimic curtains. The brick wall was created with my tim Holtz bricked wall embossing folder which I inked before running through the cuttlebug. The tree stamp was free with a magazine, and I embossed it in gold on the right hand side card. I cut the grass with a poppystamps grasslands die, and added some bling to the tree to finish. Til tomorrow….

madison window die
Nothing but headaches with my blog today – why do wordpress keep changing things, just as I learn how to do it the old way?Anyway,I bought some new dies a little while ago, -Madison window die and various accessories so over the next couple of days I will show you what I have been creating with them.Today I used kaisercraft Miss Nelly papers, and a Tim Holtz bricked embossing folder ( which I swiped with ink before embossing) for the brick wall.I used the madison window die, and backed it with some acetate, and more patterned paper. I filled the Poppy stamps window box die with flowers and leaves punched from my Martha Stewart punches and the Bike was stamped using a stamp from stampin Up Pedal presents stamp set. I hope this post makes sense – my computer has been moved into the room that my Galah resides in while the computer room is being painted and the whole time I have been typing he has been making the same tap tap tapping sound s behind my back – he is very distracting and highly entertaining – cheered me up no end!
Happy Anniversary Mum and Dad
Happy 55th Anniversary mum and dad. I know Dad checks my blog to see what I’m up to, so i hope you remembered to take Mum out to lunch! I recently had great fun creating a series of cards that represented shop fronts, so with this card I turned the view to the outside! I created the window by die-cuting rectangles out of some cardstock and putting some acetate behind for the window glass. The picture was one I found in an old frame Kay ( my sister) gave me, and the curtains were created with Docrafts Hanoverian Linen paper. The flowers were from Magnolia. I didn’t make it too fussy, as dad has made it quite clear that he prefers plainer cards! If I had realised that 55 years was an Emerald anniversary before I made the card, there would have been a bit more green featured! Til tomorrow…..
