Festive Cocktails

Hello, well it's my last blog post before Christmas and I've just got one more card to share...

perfect for that friend who loves a festive tipple.... we all have one of those 😉

I've used the Newtons Nook Cocktail Mixer stamp set and chose three of the drinks to colour 

and die cut. The three windows are made using the Triple Peek-a-Boo windows die which

 is unfortunately out of stock but any shape could be substituted here.

Behind the windows on the card base I blended blue ink and added a wavy snow bank too.

The sentiment, which gave me the idea for the card, is from MFT's Sassy Pants Holiday, 

I stamped it over a brushstroke just for a different look... works quite well I think 😊

I added a touch of glitter, a couple of holly sprigs along with some falling 

snow and called it done... pretty pleased how it turned out.

   

So that's all from me for 2019 

Wishing all our crafty readers a happy Christmas 

and all the best for 2020

Thanks for stopping by :)

Lucky Envelope

Hey stampers, Anni here!

When I was on vacation I met my sister and her family. My three nephews had birthday in spring. I haven't seen them for a long time so they didn't get their birthday presents yet. Besides some other presents the main gift was money (what else to give to teenage boys?). To personalize it a bit more I decide to create envelopes for the money.

Mama Elephant's Lucky Envelope is acually a gift card holder but it works for money just as well. I die cut the envelope from white white cardstock, added ink blending in turquoise and some water droplets to achieve the bleached effect.

For the decoration I used Newton's Nook's Cocktail Mixer (for the older twins turning 17) and Waffle Flower's Sweet Ice Cream (for the younger one turning 14). I stamped, coloured in and fussy cut the images.

Then I stamped a sentiment on all the envelopes and assembled them.

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty weekend.
