Fall Betterpress

 This one has a 70''s vibe. Still loving the Betterpress 🤎 These plates are from the Betterpress society and one of my favorites so far.

Thanks for looking! 

Merry Christmas ❄️

I was sad to hear Your Next  Stamp closed this year. It was such a great company, they had a lot of fun stamp sets like this dreaming  bunny.

Coloured with Copics ❤️

Betterpress ultra mini tags

 

Their simple.  I needed tags for a few gifts. Hot foiled Betterpress plates on black cardstock. Tried for elegant. 

                       💛 Merry Christmas 🎄 

Christmas Betterpress 🎄

 

I signed up for the Betterpress Society back a few months ago. This was one of the plates offered. Lots of parts and pieces to this set. I like that the trees and chairs are split from the main image. There's more possibilities when creating.

I tried for a vintage Christmas look 🎄Added stitches and tinsel too!

Thanks for looking.

Slimline Christmas

 

I've had this stamp set forever and have not used it until now. I'm pretty sure it was a gift at a crop I went to. Coloured with Copics including the background.

.

I'm liking the slimline style!

I cut the card and envelope with a We R Memory score board.  Added Stickles for a little glitter!  The stamp is from Stamping Bella.

Thanks for looking! 

Christmas tags

 I found an old wood set of Stamping up stamps at the thrift store and made  some tags just for fun. 

Coloured with Copics and fussy cut.

                                                 Thanks for looking! Merry Christmas 🎁 

The Grinch

 

My first year not sending out Christmas Cards. Canada Post has been on strike since November so sadly that's the situation here.

 I did send out a few in the neighborhood at least. Guess I will be ready for next year!

I have some Tim Holtz dies going on along with a really cool wood embossing folder from stamping up! sentiment is from Hero Arts..

Thanks for looking! ❤️

Merry Christmas

 

I was recently gifted a Glimmer type machine from a good friend. This machine has a lot of possibilities. 

I decided to try a technique using the Betterpress, Glimmer and embossing folder. 

Fun to try something new. The foil look is a nice touch for Christmas.

ATC with pocket vintage Christmas

 I recently received an email asking about an ATC pocket I made many years ago.  I just drew a template  around the ATC adding tabs along with score lines.  I don't have the original template so made another.

It's better to make the pocket a little larger so the ATC will fit with ease.

Score the side tabs and bottom crease of the pocket which is half way down on the template.

Then corner round the top corners of the pocket for a more finished look. 

Add decorative stitches to the  back part of the pocket. Then add glue on the tabs and on the ATC around them same thickness as the tabs and seal the sides together. 

That's about it! Decorate as needed❤️

Fun with Friends 🎄

Nothing better than seeing friends over Christmas. I met 2 friends at our local scrapbook store early on a December Saturday  morning.  

I usually bring the girls a card and thought using this stamp set was perfect 

I use clear cellophane envelopes which is perfect for adding a bottle of glitter glue behind the card just for fun. 

The card is colored with Copics along with added glossy accents , stickles and  liquid applique.

This stamp set comes out every Christmas from Art Impressions called Christmas carol friends.

Thanks for looking🎄

I've enter my card in the Art Impressions challenge just for fun. Link found here 

Winter snowy card

 I made this card with the Betterpress. I'm still loving this machine and the possibilities.  The birds are foiled with a glimmer  type machine a friend generously gave me. 

Inks are Tim Holtz distress which I actually prefer with the Betterpress.

Deer have a special place in my heart and it's one of the reasons I love this plate❄️
