FOSTV54 - Thank You card

Well I don't know about you but I have quite a few Thank You's I need to write after Christmas. We never take our tree down on 12th night - only when all the gifts are gone and I make mine last - LOL!!!  I need at least 9 or 10 thank you cards so I have two to share with you today as part of this week's Friends of Speedy TV challenge - we would love you to join in too.  Even if you have been super efficient and done all your Christmas Thank You cards you are going to need another for something else soon!

My first card uses an Inchie on a Twinchie surrounded by some glitter.  I have used the small poinsettia from Christmas Selections and the Thank You from Nature's Pansies Mini.   

 
My second card, again with glitter, uses the sets called Just a Note and Peaceful Nuthatch, a beautiful set. 

Don't forget to check out the rest of the teams cards this week and if you play along with us (Challenge 54) you could win the set called Be Wild and Free which Gail used.



Thanks for checking this out.  Back soon....

FOSTV - Paper Piercing

I decided to use this Paper Piercing challenge at FOSTV to add to my Christmas card collection.  I made 3 cards each using the Nuthatch image from the Peaceful Nuthatch set.  Another set featuring birds is the prize this week - the cute set called Flap My Wattles - you will want to try and win this one!

My images are coloured with Copic markers and the dies are all from Spellbinders with some sponging in Adirondack Mountain Rose ink.  The papers are all from my scrap trays.

Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge is to use a creature so I might just enter these 3 cards.

You don't need any fancy equipment for paper piercing - a ruler and a pin are the basics although rulers or templates with holes make it a little easier and quicker.  Please join us this week - we would love to see you.

Florida Nuthatch - FOSTV Challenge Week 11

Well week 11 of the Friends of Speedy TV Challenge is to make a Christmas Card - now go on you must need one more - so join us with this week's challenge please.
My card was made while we were away in Florida, which incidentally was a wonderful trip, and is therefore limited by what I took with me - far too much according to the hubby! Actually the ribbon was bought there - we used it on some Christmas gifts for our friends and this bit found its way onto my card.

The card uses the Nuthatch set which I love and was photographed out in the shrubs by the beach - hence the shadows.  Thanks for looking
