Gold Flake Fun Fold

I wish I had extra hours in the day, and also that I could borrow spoons to be able to play in my craft room. I had intended to share some cards that I had created using the Words of Cheer stamps. I have created some things but they are not finished items. I tend to get addicted to making things without really thinking about finishing them (finishing cards is so overrated)

One of the items I found used gorgeous Mega Flakes by Indigo Blu. Stampin’ Up! do sell flakes but I have misplaced them somewhere in my craft room. I love using the flitter glu and Scoochy. to tidy up the flakes, I did resist the urge to use Manchester Tart. Although I have used Mega Flakes you could use embossing powders, Perfect Pearl or Mica Powders. It uses the same technique as my last card but using card instead of DSP.

Colour and shape debates

So yesterday was spent debating whether Santa should be Cherry Cobbler or Real Red. Still not sure, I think that Real Red pops more. I think that I will try using the Candy Cane Lane Washi tape,  I think that will make the sides more interesting.

I also played with shapes and the new In colours using the same sketch. With the animals from Love you Lots (hostess set).

Loving the sketch and all its possibilies.

Playing in my Craft Room

Yesterday I got to spend some time in my craft room. Something I have not been able to do for a while due to family commitments. I was playing with the Christmas Cookie Cutters stamps and Punch.

My prototype is shown in this post. Contary to popular belief, everyone spends time playing with cards which are slightly less than perfect (too much glue, argh).

But I will be perfecting this today. I only have a few to play with.  (The picture is of three of many)

I am experimenting with Wink of Stella and embossing powders for Santa, but also pondering the stripes at the side.

So many ideas so little time.
