Well I have broken my second New Years resolution already which was that I would post on here daily...oops :( Having a few health issues at the moment and my motivation is suffering a bit but hubby says I need to spend time in my craft room and relax so who am I to argue lol
I did manage to sit down at the beginning of the week and make a few cards so here is the first one
This card is made using 'Ralph - Par-fect Day' from Digistamp Boutique, I love these images and have a few of them, they are wonderful to colour and this one also comes with a great sentiment 'Have a Par-fect Day' although I haven't used it on this card.
I used Promarkers/Spectrum Noirs to colour and the papers are LOTV (such a shame they have decided to stop selling their paper pads :( ) The little tag shape sentiment is from stampingallday.co.uk which is a brilliant company for individual sentiments, personalised ones etc
My next card is another DB image, this time a christmas one 'Snow Family'
Not a brilliant photo but you can make out a bit of the sparkle on there, the image was coloured with Promarkers and I added Diamond Stickles to the snow and presents, Wink of Stella was used on their hats and scarves and also on the white snowflake.
The snowflake dies I used are from Clearly Besotted as is the sentiment which I heat embossed in silver superfine WOW powder. The papers are Pink Petticoat and ribbon and pearls from my stash.
Next I made a couple of quick male cards for my box at my slimming group...
I had been diecutting some star flourishes and these stars are the 'waste' I had put them in a little pot on my desk and then I saw these Clearly Besotted sentiments when I was looking through my stash for something else, twenty minutes later I had made these two lol
I made up a couple of A6 card bases with some royal blue card I bought on Ebay, the stitched rectangle die used is an MFT blueprint one, the sentiments are stamped with pigment ink then clear embossed and I have added a touch of Wink of Stella to the stars for a bit of sparkle.
I always struggle with male cards but I was actually really pleased with how these turned out, a nice quick and simple card, I just hope they dont look a bit too simple !
Well if you are still here with me after all that waffle thank you so much for looking and if you can bear any more I will be back later with a few more cards ;)
Hugs,

Great cards Karen, I am a big fan of the Digistamp Boutique, particularly the menfolk images (Alf is my favourite!!), there is always something for someone xx
How lovely and supportive of your hubby to suggest you do some crafting and I do hope it helps you relax.
You have certainly been productive and what a great selection of cards! The golf card and star cards are great for males and you have a head start on Christmas already - wow!
Big hugs, Kat xx
