I Love Promarkers #144 ~ Singing & Dancing....

  A Penny Black card to share today for the new challenge over at I Love Promarkers :)        

'Singing & Dancing'.....

We would love to see all your cards featuring singing or dancing or both if you'd like!!

I have used my favourite PB cats having a good ole sing song :) Coloured as always with promarkers and prismas and the paper is also PB from quite a while ago. Not sure if they do this range anymore.
But it's perfect to match up with these happy kitties!!

We are sponsored this week by Letraset and the prize is a pack of Promarkers :)

I am entering my card into -

Christmas Gifts.....

Hi! Today I am sharing a couple of Christmas gift ideas :)

I love making my own gift packaging......adds a little something extra special to your gift!

The cute little triangle treat box above is full of sweeties in a cello bag tied with ribbon. I found the instructions for the box in the Tutorials section over at SplitCoastStampers.

Once the box was made I decorated each side with patterned paper, red lace? and die-cut snowflakes using my Spellbinders Create a Flake 3 set.

Next is this bottle tag with a front pocket for adding some money or a gift card perhaps? You can use this tag over a bottle of wine or even bubble bath with a face mask in the pocket :) Anything you want really!

Again I have decorated the blank tag with patterned papers and snowflake die to match the treat box.....

A lovely gift set for someone ~ sweeties and wine or pampering treats - perfect!

I am entering my gift ideas into the following challenges ~

Pastel Christmas....

I'm back today to share a few more Christmas cards :)

These were all made for a recent Christmas demo I did at my local craft store!

They all feature die-cut letters......I used an alphabet die from Docrafts/X-Cut called 'Abracadabra'.

The bauble & snowflake stamps are by Personal Impressions.

All clean and simple in design, perfect if you have lots of Christmas cards to make!!

Lots of stickles added to the letters :) I hand drew the ribbon bows.

Very quick and easy :)
