Christmas Kisses MWAH!

Evening All!

I hope I find you all well on this wet and windy night. I've just got in from Netball, been scoring games tonight and I got very wet and cold so now I'm curled up in the warm in bed, lovely! I'm very late posting this card (only by about a month, lol!) but I just had to share it with you. I made it for Daemo and wanted to enter the Just Magnolia Challenge Blog with it, but obviously didn't get around to that part! Anyway, thought I'd share it with you...

Close up of Tilda, coloured with copic ciao markers. I've added some pearls as the mistletoe and some glamour dust around the edge of the nestie...

The inside of the card. The sentiment is by Penny Black..

I used My Minds Eye Colourful Christmas papers, ribbon and embellishments and my MS border punch. The Santa is Coming To Town sentiment is Magnolia and the Christmas Kisses is by Craftwork Cards.

I just love this card :o)

Happy Birthday Mummy!

Hi All,

I'm really going to try and keep on top of all my posts this year (famous last words I know!) so I've got a few cards to post over the next few days! Starting with this birthday card that I made for my Mum. It's an 8 inch x 8 inch card and I always worry that I'm not going to be able to fill them, but I soon start running out of room, lol! I'm going to enter this card in the Just Magnolia Challenge - Jay Jay's Sketch this week and as it's such a large card I think the sketch really suits it! What do you think?

Close up of 'Summer Time Tilda with Bow' stamp coloured with copic ciao markers. I stamped the 'Shabby Chic Fence' and added the 'Chasing Butterflies Sign', then 3D'd Tilda on top of them

Inside...

The papers are by Panduro layered onto Core d'inations card. I've used my MS Doily Lace Punch and legless brads are from Craftwork cards as is the sentiment. The flowers and ribbon are from my stash.

And most importantly, my Mum loved her card! Happy Birthday Mum :o)

Gorjuss Friend

Hiya...

...and onto card number 2! This one I made for one of my best friends and I thought a Gorjuss Girl fitted the bill perfectly!...

Close up of stamped image, coloured with copic ciao markers...so Gorjuss!! I layered the image onto a scalloped square nestie and added some Glamour Dust for exta bling!

Side view of card...

Inside...

I got the design for this card from the Papertake Weekly Challenge Blog and I wanted to enter this card into the challenge.....but I didn't get it posted in time, whoops! Oh well never mind, I think the layout works really well with the image don't you?

The papers are by Bo Bunny and the backing card is Core d'inations layered onto pale blue pearlised card. The Happy Birthday sentiment is by Craftwork Cards and the To a Special Friend stamp was part of my prize for coming third in the Christmas Card challenge at my local Craft Club (thanks Invicta Craft Centre and Lisa Baker). The gems are by Basic Grey.

TTFN!

I posted some cards on my Do Crafts Gallery yesterday and received some lovely comments on them, I logged on today and I have 2 more followers, wahoo! I can't believe you all follow my blog and it makes me feel really chuffed to know that you're all there, thank you so much :o) I know I don't update as often as I should but I promise to be more organised this year!!

And now onto the cards! This one I made for special friends of ours who moved house. The stamp is Home Sweet Home by Helz Cuppleditch - it really is sweet isn't it...

Happy New Year

Hi everyone and a big...

HAPPY NEW YEAR

...to you all! I hope you all enjoyed the festive period and Santa brought you lots of lovely pressies and crafting goodies?! Christmas is always a tough one for me and it's my son's birthday on the 30th December too so it all comes at once. He would've been 2 this year. Although I love Christmas; the lights, decorations, giving (and receiving!) of pressies, I am kinda glad when it's all over. I know that sounds a bit grinchy (and really I'm not grinchy at all) but I'm sure in time I'll feel better about it all and enjoy it once again. So I'm sorry for not visiting blog land over the festive period, I still have Christmas cards to post, lol! I'll catch up soon I'm sure and post them for you, even if it's a bit late, lol...

Lots of love to you all, I hope you all have a happy and healthy 2010!

Jolly Snowman!

Evening All!

I know, I know it's been far too long again! I've got so behind with all my posts that over the next week I'm aiming to catch up with them all. Please don't be too confused when you see me posting Christmas Cards! I'm certainly not that organised to be making them now for this Christmas, lol!

So here we are with the first one, a Penny Black snowman, just the kind you'd want in your back garden!

Christmas Kiss Puppy!

Hiya...

...and on with the second card I'm posting tonight. How adorable is this little puppy?! Just the cutest don't you think?! I took the day off work on Wednesday and went to my local Craft Club run by Invicta Craft Centre in Maidstone. It was the Christmas Party and they ran a Christmas card competition, I entered this card.....and got 3rd place, wahoo!! I was soooo chuffed and won a lovely prize of blank cards, papers and a "Special Friend" rubber stamp. What do you think?

Close up of the stamped image...

Side view of the card...

Just sooooo cute! This stamp is by Penny Black and is called "Puppy Kiss". I coloured him with copic ciao markers and added Glamour Dust to his Santa hat trim and bobble and Glossy Accents to his nose. All dogs have wet noses after all, lol! I've also added some pearls as the mistletoe berries. The paper I've used is by Imaginisce Polar Expressions - Comfy Cozy and I've matted and layered this onto Core d'inations card. The snowflakes are punched using a Woodware punch and I've added a Papermania blue gem to centre of each one. The sentiment is by Craftwork Cards. I think I'm definitely going to have to buy some more of these papers for next year's cards, lol!

OK, it's nighty night time for me now but I'll be back tomorrow with some more cards for you.

Sweet dreams all...
