Next batch of Christmas cards

I seem to be having a fad on CD ROMs, which believe me is a real surprise to me. I brought 'Walk in Wonderland' from My Craft Studio a good while back, made a few cards from it but wasn't overly impressed at the printing results. Well now we have a different printer that lets you print to a very high dots per inch and along with that I have been using different types of papers to print on e.g. vellum, pearlescent, acetate and I've come to appreciate the results much more. With that in mind I've brought a couple of other discs, 'Ivory Cats' and 'Victorian Fairies & Angels' both from Joanna Sheen and 'A little bit of folk' from My Craft Studios, all courtesy of ebay ;-)

With Christmas not far off I've stepped up the card making pace and here are the results:
A shaped edge card made using the 'Ivory Cats' CD ROM from Joanna Sheen
A decoupage card made using the 'Ivory Cats' CD ROM from Joanna Sheen
A stepper card made using the 'Ivory Cats' CD ROM from Joanna Sheen
An invertage card made using the 'Enchanted' CD ROM from Card Creations Plus

Still got lots more to make and the pressure is on, why do I always leave things to the last minute?!!

Latest cards

Although I've been away from blogger for a while I have been hard at it making a batch of cards commissioned by a friend. She wanted open cards that could be used for all occasions not just birthdays so I tried to use sentiments that were general and could be used for anything.

More Faery cards

I've been rather attached to my new 'Enchanted' CD ROM since my last post, I warned you I was smitten ;-) I've also dipped into an older CD that I have from My Craft Studio called 'Walk in wonderland'. It isn't as easy to use as the 'Enchanted' one from Card Creations Plus but there are some nice images on it that make up into pretty cards. Anyway here are my latest few makes:
Pumpkin Faery card from the 'Enchanted' CD ROM
A close up of the decoupage
A Christmas Fae from the 'Enchanted' CD ROM
Detail
A pyramage card from the 'Walk in Wonderland' CD ROM
Another from 'Walk in Wonderland'
Another friend of mine has commissioned me to make her a batch of open sentiment cards, these faery cards are part of that.

More soon hopefully!
