Christmas In July with Hobby Art

So Christmas in July is here again, time for some festive samples.

Christmas Green Things

Such a fun set this is the Quirky Christmas set from Hobby Art  featuring spouts, you either love or hate em ! Personally i'm a big fan , love them.

The background was made using the Festive Backgrounds stamp set, and embossing glitters. I coloured the sprouts with pencils then gave them a coat of glossy accents to make them shine, finished with a couple of embossed strips of rainbow mirri card.




my next card is also coloured with pencils I made a small pocket for the front and stamped and coloured a tag to pop in to it.


So sprouts are not only for xmas I just could not resist making a vampire sprout.
the sentiment stamps are from the new Do Not Open Until Christmas
stamp set. Coloured pencils were used.


Coloured pencils and a stenciled background


Then I stacked up some sprouts and made a christmas bookmark.


Country Ways

I went for a vintage look with this card using some nice papers, the scene was watercoloured.
The sentiment was made from the Christmas Post stamp set.






Robin Set

This set is a rubber stamp set consisting of two good sized stamps.



The Christmas Post set was used in the background of this vintage Robin Tag

June 2019 with Hobby Art

June with Hobby Art, so this moth I have used 3 new stamps sets from Hobby Art one set is a larger version of a very popular older set.

Jenny Wren


As you may know I love doing large Tags, so I could not resist using the trio of wrens from the stamp set. I stamped the wrens, coloured them with Clean colour pens, then embossed them from the back to give them some dimension. stencil and texture paste to give some dimension to the background.






For my next card , I coloured the wren and nest with coloured pencils and added it onto some layers to give a vintage feel.





Flowers and wrens coloured with Coloured pencils on Tone Tan paper.




Get Your Goat


A Simple card using photo frames  and Watercolour paints on Hobby Art Watercolour Card



You Old Goat card, stamps coloured with promarkers





Girly Goat Tag

I can never seem to resist adding eyelashes to animals !  stamped then coloured with pencils and added some stickles into the die cut tag for a bit of sparkle.



Harbour A5


This is an older set that has been resized. Coloured pencils, and distress ink Harbour scene picture.
The dies I used around the frame are a set Called Ropes1 by Elizabeth Crafts






The tonic dies were such a good fit for the harbour stamp set. Coloured pencils again with nuvo drops and stickles used in the die cut areas.
