A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

CAS Gift

I bought a few older Penny Black stamps recently.  They look beautiful simply heat embossed - no need for any colouring or anything fancy.  In other words, ideal for making multiples or when you need a quick card.


Beautiful rich gold embossing powder, a stitched square die cut to add interest, a black sentiment and black border, and embellished with a few black gemstones to balance the sentiment.

It's perfect for three challenges this week:

Merry Monday - Make a Christmas card with the word "Noel" on it 
My card is also inspired by the neutral colours in their challenge image.


Jingle Belles - No Time like the "Presents"

Merry Christmas Challenge - Clean and Simple





Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black Merry Gift, Wordsworth Wee Noel
Ink - ColorBox gold, Versafine Onyx Black
Paper - white and black cs
Size - 4.75" square
Accessories - gold and clear embossing powder, Lil Inkers stitched square die, black gemstones
