Forever Friends Docrafts project of the week

I have done another project of the week for the DoCrafts website and it is now showing. Its using the new Forever Friends Decoupage, not what I would normally choose to use, but I think it turned out quite well and love how they have photographed it!

for more info on how its made and products used, or to leave a nice comment (quite often people feel the need to criticise the docraft designers cards of the week and leave negative comments, everyone is entitled to their opinion I suppose but I might cry if I get too many horrid ones!) please go here.

I've just finished another one for February for them using the new papermania flower stamps so keep a watch out for that.

More Christmas Cards

I finally managed to finish my Christmas cards for my work mates, I made them all with either nesties or from some small blue cards I've had for ages and never used. I used papers from Summertime Designs and stamps from penny black, forever friends, and pc crafter images all coloured with whispers pens and watercolour pencils.

Here they are a bit closer up: I've still yet to make a birthday card for my brother, family Christmas cards, a funky fairy's project, 2 do crafts projects of the weeks and my first magazine piece for Creativity! magazine, which is now in fact two kits and articles, I cant believe I'm getting paid to make cards!!!!!! I also have to work up until 23rd Dec so I'm going to be busy busy busy for the next few weeks. Luckily I don't have any present buying or wrapping left to do! Hope you're all sorted for Christmas and not rushing around too much! x

Christmas cards

No I haven't run off and got married, these cards are for an order I've got to do before the 29th November eek! The papers are from Shabby Princess, stamp is forever friends, sentiment is made on the computer.

I didn't have any pink Christmasy papers, and as this is for a 3yr old I wanted to do it girly, so I used some scrapbook paper I had and stuck snowflakes to it, I think it looks ok. Image is from PC Crafter, sentiment is made on the computer, snowflakes are from an xcut punch.

Pink Sunflower, Julie and Craft Stamper all have blog candy so go check it out.

Forever Friends Christmas

Another Christmas card, this time made with a sketch from the Spoon full Of Sugar Challenge Blog.
I have used the docrafts forever friends stamps from the 3 Christmas stamp set. I used two different stamps for the main image as to me it looks like the bear is looking at the floor so I couldn't just leave the bear looking at nothing! I used the little robin from another one of the stamps in the set, does anyone else think he's meant to be looking at something or is it just me???
The corner decoration I made from 2 fabric leaves cut to look like holly, 2 buttons threaded with embroidery thread, a fern punch and some red gems. The sentiment was made on my computer.
This is the inside

In the comments on my last card Claire asked how long it takes me to make a card, well this one took me about 3 hours from start to finish- however I sit at my computer desk so a lot of that time is spent blog hopping, fiddling about with the sentiment in MS Publisher, looking at craft forums and generally wasting time!
