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.

More Christmas Cards

Here are two more Christmas cards I've made I'm slowly getting there! I might even have them all done in time for Christmas this year!

They are both made with images from Shelly Comiskey's Santa's Helpers download from PC Crafter, I love these images so much, her designs are also used in whipper snapper stamps but its much cheaper to buy the pc crafter ones. I printed them in black and white line drawing format and watercoloured with Whispers pens. I haven't had a problem with the printed ink running and did used to use hairspray to 'set' the ink, but I forgot to on these and it didn't seem to make any difference I didn't think.

The one directly below is another one cut from a scalloped circle nestabilities die on a folded card. The edges have been glittered with iridescent glitter glue, and the wings with doodlebug sugar coating. The background card is from DCWV and has been embossed with the snowflakes cuttlebug embossing folder and distressed with a nail buffer.

The next one has been made with papers from Summertime Designs Winter Gifts Kit, snowflakes are from xcut punches and the Christmas tree button is from doodlebug.

I've been tagged again, this time by Gayle, Miranda and Erin since I was not tagged that long ago by Pauline I will direct you to the post here I'm really not that interesting honest! Sorry but I can't think of 7 more things about me, let alone interesting things!

My mum has lent me her camera so until I can convince Tristan (my fella) to let me have his one again I will commandeer hers, so I can hopefully keep my blog up to date.

Double post, Funky Fairys challenge

Double post again today- sorry about that, just had to upload my card for the funky fairy's challenge #35 before it was too late. It was a sketch challenge and had to be a non traditional Christmas card.
I used funky fairy papers from the blue it, the image is a pc crafter download and is Santa's helpers by Shelly Comiskey, who also designs for whippersnapper stamps- which I love, so I was so pleased to see these on pc crafter, watercoloured with whispers pens. the swirls are my new spell binders dies that i got at Ally Pally, the snow flakes are punches from x cut and fiskars. I put snow writer over the snowy bits and covered it with doodlebug sugar coating. The text stamp is from Stamposaurus.
