Hubby's Birthday Card.....Take Two !

Hi Everyone,

Hope you have all had a fab weekend and enjoyed an extra hour lie in this morning :)

As you probably remember I had made a card for hubby's birthday yesterday, well I was looking on Bugaboo's Digi shop in the early hours of yesterday morning and I saw the perfect image so I just had to get it and quickly make a new card before he got up !
As soon as I saw 'Guy walking the dog' I knew hubby would love it, he is so in love with our new fur baby Chester.

I coloured him with Promarkers, the sentiment is from DSB and papers are from Anna Marie Designs and The Works. Pearls from stash.

Before I go I thought I would show you a piccy of cheeky Chester :)

Bye for now,

Jolly Holly

Hi Everyone,

Well we are nearly at the weekend again...where is the time going ?! I received my replacement appointment this morning...27th December ! I don't hold out much hope for them keeping that one either to be honest :(

I'm still in Christmas card mode as I still have quite a few to make so I have 2 cards to share with you, this one is using a lovely image from DigiStamp Boutique set called 'Sketchy Holly & Mistletoe' there are 2 images and 5 sentiments for 99p ! Bargain :)

Coloured with Promarkers, I added Wink of Stella to the bow and Glossy Accents to the berries and matted onto dark green card. I doodled a bit of stitching to the edge of the image and sentiment, a few red gems to finish and that's it. Its quite flat for posting too so that's a bonus.

The next card is using an image from the 'Cute Nativity' at DSB, I don't think it's available anymore unfortunately.

Coloured with Promarkers, the papers are from a freebie magazine pack. I matted the panels onto navy card and then onto a kraft card base. I added some navy and white twine which was a bargain from The Works...£1 for quite a big reel. Christmas tree charm from Ebay.

I am entering my angel card into The Holly and Ivy Challenge 17 - Anything Christmas Goes.

That's all for now,

The Gardener

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well and I would just like to welcome my latest followers, I really appreciate your visits :)

I'm back to share the card I made for my hubby's birthday next week using the cute Gardener image from LOTV, I love colouring these images especially doing their clothes

I used some lovely plaid paper I found in my snippets box which I matted onto ruby red card, the image was coloured with Promarkers and the little sentiment stamp is from a set I picked up in a 1 euro shop (bit like our Poundland) when visiting relatives in Spain. It stamped really well and there are loads of different sentiments in the set so it was a good find.

I would like to enter my card into the following Challenges:

Craftyhazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge Oct - Use patterned paper
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
Polkadoodle Crafting Challenge wk 42 - Anything Goes

Christmas Cats

Hi Everyone,

When I saw the new 'Large Christmas Cats' image from DigiStamp Boutique I knew I had to get it to use for my brother and sil's Christmas card as they have 14 rescue cats and are cat mad !

My SIL isn't keen on fussy cards so I kept it simple by printing it large enough to fit the whole front of the card adding a DSB sentiment as well. I coloured the image with Promarkers and added Stickles to the hats and the snow.
The panel was matted onto red card and I added some sparkly twine from The Works.

That's all for now

Batch #3

Good Morning Everyone,
I'm back with the 3rd lot of batch cards, I have to say I'm feeling a lot less stressed about Christmas than I usually am at this time Lol.
Usually every year at this time I haven't started my cards and I would be panicking but this year I have nearly finished them and I have been actually enjoying making them instead of it being a chore.

This first lot are my favourite of all so far, I used a freebie digi image from Buddly Crafts and I enjoyed colouring it so much that I made 8 of these

I coloured them with Promarkers and Illustrators and added Glossy Accents to the leaves and berries. I made 4 matted onto red and 4 matted onto green. They are 5 x 5 cards.

The next ones I used a Docrafts stamp  I have had for a couple of years

I stamped the tree with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Wow superfine silver powder. I matted the panels onto black card. I made 2 of these with brightly coloured gems and 2 with the more traditional red and green gems.

The sentiment on both sets of cards is Clearly Besotted.

That's all for now,

Monster Birthday

Hi Everyone,

I was stumped on what to do for my best friends little boys birthday card so I was looking through challenges for inspiration this morning and when I saw the latest Less is More Challenge - Monsters I had a lightbulb moment :)
This is the card I came up with using a DigiStamp Boutique image

I coloured him with Promarkers and added Wink of Stella to the candle flames and of course he had to have googly eyes ! The sentiment comes with the image and I just matted onto some bright blue card.

DigiStamp Boutique October Competition - Anything Goes
Less Is More - Monsters
I Love Promarkers - Birthdays

That's all for now,
