A previous card...

Hiya peeps

As I said in last nights post, here is a

previous card that I made back in November

last year. It was sent to the USA for a dear

friends Christmas card, along with a small

"Thinking of You" card.

I found out on Monday, that I had been

picked as a winner on The Cutie Pie Challenge Blog

Here is the blog badge that I get to proudly display on the

sidebar of this blog.

The card that I won with is the lovely, warm digital

image from the fabulous

Lacy Sunshine

The image is called Eskimo Kisses and can be found here

An Elf Delivery Service

Hiya peeps

Today I am showing you a card that Ive made.

I used the delightful image, which is one of two (for the price of one!!) called Elf Delivery Service from our fabulous artist, Tiddly Inks.

The card is an A4 using a sheet of A3 Cream Hammered

225gsm cardstock from my usual supplier here in the Lake District, UK.

I first folded the sheet to form the card base then added a piece of backing paper, part of a 12x12 inch snowfall on a midnight sky colourway. I coloured the image in using ordinary pencil crayons which also came with various metallic colours. I used those to colour in parts of the presents and regular colours on the elf. I added drops of artificial glitter snow on the pom poms on the elfs hat. After making sure I was happy with the colouring outcome, I die cut around it.

The mirri card I die cut using a set from Spellbinders, mounting the image oval onto the mirri using double sided tape and then foam tape

to stick it to the backing paper covered cardbase. The "Believe" word was die cut in a bright blue and mounted onto a piece of the same cream cardbase. That in turn was mounted onto a piece of midnight blue card stock. The majority of all the items are from my own stock.

I hope you like what Ive done using the Elf Delivery Service digi. Its only one of many digi & clear stamps that are available from the website. You could also join in with their monthly challenges on the challenge blog found here.

The Music Conductor.....

Hiya peeps

Todays card is one I made fairly recently, but this is my
first blog post using this wonderful digi from Star Stampz
and this is a fab digi called The Music Conductor 

I made a simple but effective A5 landscape card using linen

effect white card from Papermill Direct. Topped with silver 

mirri card & music sheet themed paper (from my own stash).

Before sticking these 2 backing card & paper down I placed

the two ribbons round to stick down under the mirri card. Both

the black and the white with black dots ribbons are from

Crafty Ribbons. The red card is also from Papermill Direct

but was cut down to fit the size I wanted from an A3 sheet.

The digi image, was printed onto smooth white card and

coloured using a set of double ended marker pens I have.

They are not alcohol markers though.  I coloured the

waistcoat on the conductor in red to match the backing

card and added a few gold coloured die cut music themed

treble clefs and Sixteenth notes (Semiquaver).

The wooded word "Dream" is from my own stash.

I wish to enter this card into the following challenges:

Todays card and obviously the last of this year, is for my

The wonderful digital image is from 

The Paper Shelter

and is called Happy Meow Year. 
I coloured the image using pencil crayons (including metallic that
come in my set) and used Liquid Glass on the drink in the cats paw.
The pale green background, immediately behind the digi, was
made using cheap kiddies watercolour paints & a flat bristle brush.
All ribbons are from an online shop called Crafty Ribbons.  

Both toppers were die cut using Spellbinders cutting dies and
my Big Shop Plus from Sizzix.
