Oriental Style Card

I have been going through my stash and trying to use items i have had for sometime but not done anything with. A lot was purchased when i first got into crafting and before i found my style etc. I brought these beautiful Asian papers at a craft show years ago but never got around to using and it was a shame because they are really beautiful!

I haven't added a sentiment yet because i haven't completely decided what to use her for and to be honest i think this could be used for multiple occasions.


Paper, Card Stock, Ribbon & Gems all from Stash
Digital Stamp - Sassy Studio Designs
Copics - Sorry forgot to note down numbers
Dies - Both Spellbinders

I would like to add this into the following challenges :

Starting on Christmas Cards

Well i figured it was time i at least started to contemplate Christmas Cards as the year i rapidly flying past. I wanted to make something simple and classy, nothing too fancy and without any images or digital elements (as challenge for me that's for sure) and that's how this card came to be. I figured you couldn't really go wrong with black and white.

Has a little incident with my white embossing but i am going with it adds to the christmasy feel :)

Black Cardstock & Gems - From my Stash
Paper - Pretty sure this is by KaiserCraft (it has been in my stash a wee while)
Adhesive - Good old double sided tape

Bow - Made on my We R Envelope Punch Board

I really enjoyed making this card and it turned out like i visioned which i was happy about, although i did make a rookie error as i put the wrong card stock in my printer when i printed my image so although i coloured it with my Copics there is no blending. But i am still happy with it.

Seriously, Where does the time go

I can't believe it has been so long since i last posted, i have still been crafting on and off but nowhere near as much as i would like.

This card was well outside of my normal but i got the stamp free with a magazine (Thank you Cardmaking in Easy Steps) and this was the source of my inspiration. I actually enjoyed working outside my comfort zone and am pretty please with the outcome, although clearly fussy cutting isn't something i excel at ha ha.

Flamingo Stamp - Free with the Tropical Delights stamp set with Cardmaking in Easy Steps Issue 25
Copic - RV32 (sorry didn't try shading)
Black Cardstock - From my Stash

Image Stamped with Momento Ink in Tuxedo Black
Stamped on X-Press It Blending Card
