Tim Holtz stamps

Tim Holtz stamps.... I bought these at NEC in November quite cheaply.  I really like this kind of stamp, even though you may not be able to use it that often.  The paper is one I made at Jo Capper-Sandon's workshop last year; laid leaves on the paper then sprayed it.  You can tell I liked this one so much I decided not to use it until now.  I then laid it on black paper and on a white card.

Another Christmas thing....

One more example of things I have made for Christmas.... I found a pack of Mountboard on sale in a local stationery shop (I tend to only see it in vast quantities - this was just A4 sheets, much easier to deal with) and I just stamped on it and coloured it in with Copic markers.  I added the ribbon at the top and the bell was free with Crafts Beautiful magazine - just need some wire for it (which I got free with another magazine!) Then I put some card over the back to make it tidy.

I am very unlikely to post until after Christmas now, so wish you all a Happy Christmas and a great New Year.

Christmas things - not cards this time....

I bought the pads in a stationery shop (for 59p each) and decided to stamp them to be stocking fillers - I used different stamps (did about 5 or 6 pages of each one) and then coloured in one stamp to top it with.  I hope the people who get them like them - they might get quite a few bits I've made this year.
