A floral Tag (using freebies from Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine)

I received my copy of "Simply Cards & Papercraft" magazine, Issue 162, earlier in the week.  I've not had a chance to look through it yet, but I was drawn to the free stamp and die set that was in the front of the pack, so I decided to have a quick play by making a tag.

I embossed the tag using a We R Memory Keepers "Woven" embossing folder to create a textured background.

I then stamped the jar, flowers and leaves, using my watercolour pencils to colour them.  I then die cut and hand cut the components.  I played with the positioning, once happy I glued the pieces down.

Thankful Card

For this card, I have used a We R Memory Keepers "woven" embossing folder for the background.

I used an Anita's stamp and coloured the image using Faber Castell pastels.

Wish You Were Here Card

I managed to have a quick play with the We R Memory Keepers "woven" embossing folders, making this card with a stamped and Panpastel background,mounted onto black cardstock and then mounted onto the embossed cardstock.

I really like the effect of the embossing on these tags, now I just have to find the time to do something with them.

Home - to a pile of mail

I've been away for ten days on a canal holiday and had a fabulous time. When I got home there was a huge pile of mail to be opened. 

I was excited to see a package which I've waited for the delivery of for ages.  A We R Memory Keepers woven embossing files, which took well over a month. I can't wait to have a play with them later (but the mountain of washing has been done first).
