Peel Off Christmas Card

Another Christmas card for Bah Humbug challenge this week the topic being to use our 'Peel Offs'.  Yes, like everyone else I have stacks of them and never use them so nice to do so for a change - thanks ladies. I coloured the gold scenic peeloff using Promarkers and Copics then mounted onto a Nestie circle and distressed the edge with Distress Inks.  I Cuttlebugged a piece of white card using Snowflakes and Snow dots, one half embossed the other debossed then distressed using Broken China and Faded Jeans making the top darker than the bottom.  Adding a piece of gold ribbon over the centre and a blue bow I mounted the circle on top.  I chomped the corners and added the gold star and Merry Christmas peel off for embellishment.

Card for Someone Special

Here is my DT card for Crafty Ann's challenge to make something for someone special.  I made this for my sister-in-law who is going through chemo treatment at present and is feeling very tired a lot of the time.  The sentiment is from a Fancy Pants double sided paper sheet and I thought it very appropriate.  I printed out the heart backing paper from Ann and ran it through the Cuttlebug embossing folder and added to the stubby diamond fold card overlaying the sentiment and added some lovely glittered flowers with gem centres.
I took the rose image from Ann's digi images and manipulated it in MCS to lay it over the same backing paper then coloured with Copics and Promarkers.  I added silver Sakura to the edges of the hearts, petals and leaves and cut out the shape with Nestabilities. I added a simple red gem and three pearls for embellishment.

In my garden I see...... a frog

Here is my card for my new challenge this week.  In my garden I see..... a frog - what do you see in yours?
I popped into my local craft shop just for a chat with my friend Lesley and saw a card made using this fabulous stamp from Dovecrafts Pepper and Friends.  Needless to say I just had to buy him as he is sooo cute.  I stamped the image and coloured using Promarkers and Copics, cut someNestie circles and mounted onto a sheet of Fancy Pants distressed paper.  A couple of green corners, red and green gems and some brown and green ribbon finished it off.  I seem to be into square cards at the moment.
If you see anything different in your garden pop over and join in my latest challenge and have fun.

Victorian Little Lady

Here is another Christmas card, this time Victorian for the Bah Humbug 'Vintage' challenge this week.  A very simple card this time with backing paper I made myself and printed onto cream parchment paper.  To this I added the image mounted on matt gold  card, the image from the Meryle Holland Victorian set.  I added a couple of gold glitter swirls from QVC and a red and green corner to pick out the red and green in the image. Another one off the list.

Another Winter Scene

Decided to make yet another very simple Christmas card as in the groove just now.  I stamped the image (from Stamps Away) and coloured with Copics then added glitter pen again.  I placed the image on top of the card (from a QVC pack I think) and added an acetate overlay with the sentiment Merry Christmas.
This is my Challenge card for this week topic being ACETATE OVERLAY.  Do pop over to my challeange blog and enter the challenge yourself.

A Winter's View

Gosh these girls at Bah Humbug have really got me at the Christmas cards now so here is another for their challenge this week. This time I have chosen trees, baubles, glitter and holly as my combos.  I stamped and embossed the tree scene from The Stamp Barn  then sprayed the top third of the card with blue Cosmic shimmer spray and the bottom with green.  I added some gold and silver Glitter pen again, a couple of holly corner stickers and another of these fabulous glitter stickers from QVC and a tiny little snowflake bauble too.

One more for Christmas

Another card ready for Christmas and also for this week's Bah Humbug challenge 'Cool Combos'.  They asked us to use three or more of the previous challenge topics so mine are Trees, Snowmen, Glitter and Baubles (see I chose four).
First I stamped the image from who knows where, and coloured using Copics and Promarkers then added gold and silver glitter from Marvy Just glitter pens to highlight the snow,  the houses and the trees.  I then cut out the image and overlayed this lovely transparent acetate self adhesive glittered sticker from QVC.  I added some snowmen vellum to a silver card attaching with the two coloured bauble brads then added the scene and sentiment. Hope you like it ladies.

Have a Scrummy Day

Here is a scrummy little card for a friend of the family - his birthday is on 16th.
I stamped the blue cupcakes using a Dawn Bibby stamp and edged the card using my Martha Stewart scoreboard. The topper is from QVC and the smaller cake, sentiment and beans are from Hunkydory.  I am into cupcakes at the moment so entering this for Cute Card Thursday 'Celebrations' and Creative Card Crew 'Celebrate' challenges and also Ooh La La 'Anything Goes challenge. Also found Gingersnaps Creations have 'Celebrate' too so this is for you too.

Sweet enough to eat???

Here is my DT card for CraftyAnn's challenge this week of Pink, Lemon and Lilac.  I transferred the lovely cupcake image (one of Ann's digi images)  to MCS then made the stack of cakes, printed them on lilac meltdust paper and embossed them.   I coloured using Copics and Promarkers  and added to the lemon card after punching with a Martha Stewart corner punch. The border is from a QVC cupcake set and the chipbaord embellishments are from the DCWV Sweet collection. I also added a little pink corner top right and ribbons from my stash and highlighted the hearts on the cakes with Glossy Accents.

I am entering this into Gingersnaps Creations 'Celebrate' challenge too.

March Hare meets Mad Hatter at The Tea Party

Here is my entry for Dragon's Dream challenge Mad March days and also my first enty to Your Special Delivery 50/50 challenge blog using the cute Mad Hatter digi image from LLDI.
I stamped the large chipboard piece with the March Hare stamp from Sheena Douglass and the tea cups and tea pot from See D's using Black Archival ink. They were coloured with Copics and Promarkers then oversprayed with silver glitter spray from Crafter's Companion. I coloured the Mad Hatter with the same pens and oversprayed again.
For the heart tag I typed the words using Word Art printed them out attached to the heart and overprayed yet again with silver glitter.  The two tags are attached with red velvet ribbon.

CHRISTMAS CARD WITH STITCHING

Here is my entry for Bah Humbug's Stitching/Faux Stitching challenge this week.  I edged the card using the Cuttlebug stitches embossing border folder then stamped and embosssed in silver holographic using Sheena and Dimension Fourth swirl stamps. The little chipboard bauble (also with faux stiches)  from Brenda Pinnick, was attached with two red brads and some red velvet ribbon.  The Christmas chipboard is from the same set and I just added a Merry Christmas peel off and a green velvet tree for decoration. Hope you like it ladies. One more off the list.
