My Merry Card Corner

Hello again,

I'm still working my way through some Christmas creations and this one is all Aussie, Merry Cocky is from Ericraft on Etsy the paper on the box reminded me of one in my stash. I have used a sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 as inspiration..


White Cockatoo's are notorious for their destructive nature, if they can chew it chances are they will... you can always tell where they have been feeding due to the mess left behind. They are not at all against chewing things that are not food including the mortar on rooftops...

Here is my card:-

What I used:-
White 14cm card blank
Green, kraft, gold and Christmas tree papers
Circle, stitched square and tiny star dies
Merry Cocky Digital stamp Ericraft Etsy store
Derwent Pencils
Black fine line pen
Wink of Stella on baubles
Beccy's Place Sentiment stamp Aussie Christmas
Memento Tuxedo black ink pad

Hello again,

Well our ceiling repairs are well underway and then comes putting everything back into the usual spots, where I will hopefully be able to lay my hands on more of my supplies than just now, I managed to make two Christmas cards using my Christmas supplies which are in a storage tub under the drawers at the desk I sit at for this months Anything goes Challenge with the lovely ladies at Crafting By Designs. I have used two images from two of the four sponsors who are each offering a prize for one of four lucky winners.


I have used Going home from our first sponsor LeAnn's World 101 to make the first Christmas card, using a sheet of double sided paper and a strip of Christmas striped paper

Card One

For my second card I have used a super cute little puppy digi from our fourth sponsor Oddball Art called Santa's Pup to make a card for one of our family history friends who sadly had to have her rescue dog of 5 months put down late last month due to the dog having severe medical issues that the vets were unable to treat.  I used the reverse side of the cardstock from the card above for this one...

Hello again,

Autumn has well and truly arrived here in Australia, the leaves on all the trees are changing to the most beautiful bright colours and they look striking against a storm darkened sky (if only the clouds would open) we are approaching water restrictions soon due to the dam level reaching 50%. I did some illicit colouring last week and decided to make a Christmas card with one of the images I coloured.
I have again used my trick to expand the 15cm (6") paper to cover the larger card blank cutting and hiding the cut behind the centre strip...

Here is my card:-

What I used:-
White 12.6x 17.8cm card blank (5x7)
From the Heart Stamps Teddy Gift Stack digi image
Lily Bee Designs Christmas Cheer Papers
Faber-Castell pencils
Wink of Stella liberally on bears hat
Hero Arts Stamp and Cut Christmas
Clear embossing ink
Silver super fine embossing powder
Clear rhinestones
