Robin Chicks

Good afternoon to you all, hope you have had a nice Christmas........

The two cards that I have to show you today are the remaining two images from the Robin Chicklets collection from digi stamp boutique, the first one I used for my previous DT post.

The images have been coloured with polychromos pencils and mounted onto red shinny card.

The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat and is one that I have used lots this christmas.

That's all for now but I will try to get around your blogs later.

i am entering these two cards into the Digi Stamp Boutique, December Challenge

Christmas Card Challenge 4

Good morning to you all........

I hope you have all had a good Christmas and that Santa bought you lots of crafting goodies...

Its time for a new challenge at Christmas Card Challenge and this week is nice and easy Anything Goes, 

I have decided on a CAS easy card.

For my card I have used Robin Chicklets Digi image from Digi stamp Boutique, this is one of a set of three, and you also get sentiments, although I have used a Pink petticoat sentiment because this was not the card that I had in my mind when I started ! lol

I have coloured the image with Polychromos pencils, and mounted onto some shiny red card, and added the usual Glamour dust around the hat.

If you are stuck for inspiration why not pop

Image is Edwin & Hetty from the Digi Stamp Boutique they have got a sale of 40% off all images until 31st December and they have some fab images.

I have used pro markers to colour and added lots of glitter to the hats

the paper is from Nitwits can not remember which set because it was in my scrap box

both sentiment's are from LOTV and I have die cut scalloped circle.

The stars are from a die namics die and I have heat embossed to make the glitter.

The current challenge at Passion for Promarker's is Bingo and I have used the middle line, Die Cut, free, and glitter.

Happy Anniversary

Hello everyone......

Hope you have all finished your christmas cards?  I started to tidy away my christmas papers and stamps and then found that I needed a few more quick cards for work!

I have had a little break though and made this anniversary card for my Mother in law, she just adores elephants so thought this image from Digi Stamp Boutique would be perfect for their wedding anniversary on Boxing day

I have coloured the image with pro markers, and used some digi papers from Nit Wits, for the layout of the card I have used a Blue print die set and the sentiment is from Pink peticoat.

I have added some butterflies from a Martha Stewart punch.

Thats all for now, but hopefully I will now most of my christmas cards are done I can get back to blogging more often.

Little Fairy

Hello....... hope you are all keeping warm!

This is a quick post today, I am trying to keep and eye on one of my chickens that appears to have cut herself, I have sprayed her with some antiseptic spray, but the others still appear to be pecking at her, not sure what else I can do, so got to nip to the chicken place for some advice.

Anyway onto my card

I have mounted the image onto foam pads and the red gems are from my stash.

I have embossed around the edge of the card base.

The Sentiment is from Craftwork Cards, that I have had for ages.

Peace & Joy

Good morning...........

What a wet day yesterday turned out to be, it was so dark that I struggled to get a decent photo of my card so apologies for the awful pic.

The card I am sharing today was made using a free stamp from a magazine last year and a matching spellbinders die that I already had but never used!

I stamped the bauble onto some navy card and then heat embossed with some stampendous  crystal embossing powder.

I wanted to keep my card quiet simple so just added a white square of card scored with 2 squares, mounted it onto navy card and then on to my card base. I added a digi sentiment from Pink Petticoat, used some foam pads to mount the bauble and that's it card finished.

box card

Todays card I have to show you is a box card, sorry but the pictures don't show it very well, not having made one of these for sometime and forgot how easy they are, and thought I would be able to use my new snowy window die from die namics, I cut the snow out of some glitter card.

The image is from an A4 sheet that I bought last Christmas from LOV.  They were pre-coloured and you got a few different size images.  They have all been coloured by the very talented 

Bev Rochester, and I just added some glamour dust and gold glitter, unfortunately they do not sell them any more, so I am just using up my stock. 

For the window blind I have used tonic studio edge punch, the mulberry paper roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and I have used a holly branch die...I created some snow with embossing powder and glitter, I also added some white twirls from Ribbon Girl, I opened them out and then re wound them to make them a little smaller, I have also added some red berries between the roses also from the ribbon girl.  The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat.

Caroling Trio

Last Christmas my Hubby bought me a set of Distress Markers and after trying them a few times I decided that they were not for me because I just couldn't seem to get the colours and blending right.

 Over the last few weeks I decided to have another go, and after watching some on line tutorials I realised the I was using way to much ink, and water! So out came the pens and brushes, lots of stamps and after much practise and frustration I managed to finish an image and made the card below.

I am so pleased that I got them back out and persevered with them.

The image is caroling trio from Penny Black and is one of my favourite Christmas stamps.

The papers are from dove craft , and I have added some hessian and gingham ribbon, I cut the lamp on my cricut machine. I have added lots of glitter, and finished off with a sentiment from LOV.

I am entering this card into the following challenges.  The current challenge at Christmas Card Challenge is anything goes with the option of Faith based, I have opted to just make a Christmas card.
