Richness of Red

High we have another card for you on the red theme

for how I have created this card visit my blog dorrie's doodles

Woodware Challenge - Richness of Red 2

Pam our Pampered Stamper has created a very Rich Red in this card.

Pam has used the round bauble from the Teardrop Christmas Clear Magic set designed by Francoise Read 

I love the way that Pam has stamped it and made it into a 3D ornament that will still go in the mail.

For more about this card why not pop over to see what the Pampered Stamper has to say.

See you soon!

Woodware Challenge – Richness of Red!

This week we have some red cards for you.

We are starting with the stamp designer Jane Gill  is giving us a sneak peek of her new peel offs that will be available here in the UK early in the new year but if you can't wait or can't get your hands on the peel offs you can use the stamps.

The stamp sets are, Bubble Hearts, On Your Wedding and Our Special Day. If you make wedding invitations then these sets are a must.

The peel offs come in four colors including this lovely red. But how much more fun coulod you have with the stamps and some of the wonderful colors of Stampendous Embossing powder. The script is so elegant, but not fussy as a fancy script so often is.

This would be an elegant and easily achieved wedding invitation.

I am sure that Jane will have more tips on the Flower Girl Blog, thank you for visiting us and please play al0ng with us in our quest for the Richness of Red. 

Red!

December Sketch Challenge

We have another entry for our UK December Sketch Challenge and I just wanted to share it with you all.

This card is by Heidi Schleimer another of that lovely bunch of ladies from A Maze of Memories. I have never owned this stamp set, but I love it and it never fails to make me smile, and those bears looking for Mum are just such a great touch! Thank you Heidi for sharing.

Woodware December Sketch Challenge

Today we have a card from Harriet of Allycat Cards

The stamp is from the Clear Magic set designed by Jane Gill Poinsettia the greeting comes from the same set.

I love the way that Harriet has colored the poinsettia she has created so much dimension on the leaves I feel as if I could touch it.

Thank you Harriet, and thank you for visiting today.

Another English Sketch for Inspiration!

This card uses an image from the Elegant Cameo Clear Magic Set designed by Francoise Read.

The card was created for us by Zoe and Linda who like to craft as a team.

Thank you girls!

Another Sketch for Inspiration!

The main image comes from a very old Francoise Read Set called Mad About Music and the words which I think are rather elegant come from the Tulips Clear Magic Set the card was created by a Woodware fan in England called Jan Benskin, thank you Jan.

December Sketch Challenge

The Pampered Stamper is bringing us her take on the December Sketch today.

The stamp set is Polar Bears and the greeting comes from it to.

The close up lets you see the wonderful coloring around the bears and the Stampendous multi fine glitter and   Cotton Ball fun flock really make.

Why not pop to the Pampered Stamper to see the full instructions for this card

Woodware Sketch Challenge

Our old friend Harriet has been working on this month's sketch challenge. When I look at this card it makes me smile.

I really don't think that I can pay this card a better compliment than that the bears are so cute and I love the glitter and the dark blue sky.

Harriet has more about this card over on her blog Allycat Cards 

Remember you can play along until the end of November.

Oh I love my job! It is so exciting opening up e-mail and seeing what very clever people have made on my instruction! I love the power.....

Suzanne has followed the sketch and used it for a tag. Well a tag collecting, boy the girl was on a roll.

Suzanne has used Christmas Rounds designed by Francoise and all I can say is I wish I was going to get a gift with this tag on it!

Why not pop over to see what Suzanne has to say about how she set about on her tag fest.

I will be back with more inspiration soon.

Sketch Challenge Inspiration

Hi I just wanted to share this card with you Kim has made it for the challenge  but I thought that it should have a special mention.

Kim is a special friend of Woodware in the UK and enters challenges on both sides of the pond. 

We are working to bring the blogs together in the future so that we can bring more inspiration with even more great cards.

Kim has used the Winding Path stamp from a set designed by Francoise. I love how well the coloring matches the background paper. Kim has explained how she got the look on her blog.

Sketch Inspiration

Here is Jane Gill's take on the sketch

Jane has used the peel off that matches her Bubble Tree Stamp the Bubble tree is an old stamp design for this Christmas their is a new bubble stamp the Bubble Star Why not pop over to Jane's Blog to see what the stamp designer has to say about the design

It is good to be back and sorry I forgot to add the link thing so here it is, remember this sketch is open for the month of November
