I Love Promarkers #140 - Christmas is Coming...

Morning! Another Christmas card to share with you today :)

Over at I Love Promarkers this week the challenge is.....

'Christmas is Coming'

I have used one of my favourite hedgies from the Penny Black transparent set called 'Best Day Ever'.

I have coloured the image with promarkers and prismas and the sketch is from 'Page Maps'. The stitched paper is from the new paper pad from Docrafts called 'Home for Christmas'.

I love CAS sketches like this one leaving some white space :)

Anything but a Card Christmas & Snowflakes....

Hi......I'm back from my hols to share some more Christmas makes I made recently for the demo at Papercrafts, Elgin :)

The 1st make is a cute gift card holder for Christmas.......just big enough to slot in a credit card size gift card which pops up when the holder is opened. It is held together with a belly band of cardstock which I have decorated with a spellbinder die from the Asian Accents set.

The gorgeous papers are not actually Christmas papers but the colours work great for Christmas.....they are Cosmo Cricket - Tea for Two.

I am entering it into Winter Wonderland's Anything but a Card challenge.

This card uses the same snowflake set I used for the blue/silver card a couple of blog posts down :)

A clean and simple card.......stamping the snowflakes in reds/browns and using the sentiment from the same Personal Impressions set too. Simply matted on red card to finish.

I am entering my card into Charisma Cardz #41 - Clean & simple challenge.

I still have some more cards to share so I will be back soon :)

I Love Promarkers #139 ~ Anything Goes....

Morning!! A nice and easy challenge this week over at I Love Promarkers :)

'Anything Goes'.....

I decided to use a long forgotten bear from my stamp box :) I do love the Forever Friends bears and I dont use them enough!!

I coloured the bear as always with promarkers and prismas in warm autumny colours and the papers are from my scrap box. The letters and gems are Papermania.

Thank 'U' for looking xx

I Love Promarkers #138 ~ Halloween...

Morning! It's 'Halloween' time today over at I Love Promarkers :)

We would love to see all your halloween themed cards, spooky or cute!

As you can see mine is more cute than spooky :) The image is by Stamp Fairy who are sponsoring the challenge this week with a $10 gift certificate to be won.

I have coloured the image with promarkers and prismas and the dotty paper is a halloween paper from many years ago. The sentiment is cut from a piece of paper from the same kit :)

I have doodled the frame and added buttons and fancy corners to finish.

Check out all the DT cards over on the blog, there's some fabulous cards for inspiration!

Silver Snowflakes....

Hi! I'm here to share a card I made for a Christmas demo this weekend at Papercrafts Boutique in Elgin. Quite appropiate to be making and sharing cards on World Cardmaking day :)

This card uses a gorgeous snowflake stamp set from Personal Impressions......I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest to try this masking technique. I cut a template out to ink through with Distress Inks (tumbled glass and broken china) and overstamped the snowflakes with versamark and silver embossing powder.

Finished with tiny gems and a sentiment stamped in the same distress ink colour.

I am entering my card into the following challenges ~

Hope you all managed to fit in some crafting time this weekend :)

Penny Black Saturday October Challenge - Sketch...

Morning!! Time for a new challenge today at Penny Black Saturday :)

Seems ages since our last challenge!

We have a wonderful sketch to follow this month designed by the lovely Helen in the DT.

Great sketch is'nt it :) Thanks Helen x

I have used some new papers I bought recently with a prize win over at Sketch Saturday :)

I bought these lovely Cosmo Cricket papers and a Whimsy stamp from Bunny Zoe's Crafts.

The paper pad is called 'Baby Jane' and it's full of lovely colours and small patterns.....perfect for card-making.

The PB stamp is a 'slapstick' one called 'Hello Dear'.......one of my favourites :) Love these little mice. I have coloured the image as always with promarkers and prismas and used buttons and a wooden flower for embellishments. The fancy corners are a Whimsy die.

There are some wonderful prizes to win this month......check out the blog for all the details.

'Happy World Cardmaking Day' to you all......
