Good morning everyone,

Hope you've been enjoying the lovely sunshine over the Bank holiday weekend.
Here's a few cards that we all made up for the latest show, using the brand new releases from Wild Rose Studio.
As always the crafty gang excelled themselves, thank you all so much.

This is one crafty cat who wants to be part of the gang!

Fabulous cards from Kay using the WRS winter cottages stamps set


Festive cracker and pop out card from Yvonne, they are lovely and really catch the eye.

Festive fun with the boozy Santa with this lovely card from Anita.



Cards with a difference from Rosemary, using the lovely grosgrain ribbon to produce an iris folding technique...
fabulous and very effective.


Sue used the ultra fine glitter very effectively in these cards, the photos don't do them justice, but they looked stunning when shown on Hochanda.

Here's my take on the boozy Santa...yes I had to use some hessian to help create some dimension, I like all the extra bits that come with this stamp set, the lights, candy canes, and extra bottle that could be used for a special occasion or birthday not just Christmas.



 
Another crafty cat looking to join too..............


"looks like fun, can I join in?"


      
I hope you've enjoyed looking at the new stamp images and lovely cards and meeting 
the 2 new members of the crafty gang!

Thanks for dropping by and have a good day.

Good morning everyone,
Finally, here are some of the lovely cards made by all the crafty gang.....thank you so much for all the beautiful cards you made, they are FAB. All the cards were made using stamped images and papers from Wild Rose Studio.


Sue has made some lovely cards here that really show off the stamps and papers together.


Fabulous cards from Rosemary using the different stamp images, reflecting a wonderful sense of fun and festivity.


We all had a lot of fun with all the characters from the stamped images...they fired up our imagination. These lovely cards were made by Sue.
The above card with penguins was made by Rosemary who used a barbed wire fence die to stop the polar bears from trying to steal the presents.
This fun card was made by Kay and the mouse is stamped onto duralar, which gives a lovely background effect.
This lovely card was made by Yvonne and really shows off the soft  blue/green tones of the papers and she has colour matched the hats and stockings so the stamped image fits in perfectly.

Some really beautiful cards, and I'm always amazed how differently each person uses the stamps and papers.

Thanks for dropping by and keep checking in for most posts.
Have a good day.
Maggie

 Good morning everyone,

Thank you so much to all the Crafty gang, everyone loved your samples on the shows.
We had so much fun making up all the cards and eating all the delicious cakes made by Rosemary...yum yum!

Here's a few more pictures from my paper challenge.
I really enjoyed this and it certainly sent my imagination off in different directions.
 




 

 

I need to show you all the fabulous samples made by everyone, but I have to get them back to take some more pictures as they seem to have been gobbled up in my phone somewhere!...so watch this space, they'll be up after Wednesday.
That's all for today, but I've been playing with making some very different backgrounds, which I'll post soon.
Thanks for dropping by and have a great weekend.

Maggie
