Triplets

Here we go another one of the few cards I have made lately.  I am sure that I only picked this little gingerbread image up the other day but I have no idea where from, so if anyone knows I would be grateful if you could let me know so I could give credit.  I needed to make a card for triplets so printed the image 3 times and then coloured with promarkers  The backing paper is from Cuddly Buddly and other bits from my stash.  The gap at the bottom right is for the sentiment which I haven't done yet.

This fits nicely with the following challenge.

Daring Cardmakers - We Three.....

Cosy Christmas

Oooh go me another card, not that I am on a roll or anything, I still have loads to make.  This one was fairly easy no colouring involved just a nice ready made image from Cuddly Buddly.  The backing papers are also from Cuddly Buddly and everything else is from my stash.

I have entered this into the following challenges.

Cuddly Buddly - Cosy Christmas
Totally Papercrafts - Snow and snowflakes
ABC Christmas - X is for Xmas

Maud

This is Maud, isn't she fantastic, she's from Just Inklined and I love her.  She has been coloured with promarkers as per normal and then titivated with glitter and 3d gloss for her glasses.  Everything else is from my stash.

Thursday 18 November 2010

Just a couple of quick cards just to show I do make them sometimes.  I think the top image might have been from Pollycraft and the bottom one possibly from Dustin Pike, I have these stored on the computer and am currently on the laptop so will check tomorrow and amend if necessary.  Images were coloured with promarkers cut out with nesties, all other items from my stash

christmas

Well it's been an absolute age sinced I last blogged a card, I have only made a few lately and here's one of them although its not the best photo....sorry.

The image is a stamp from Lili of the Valley that I bought at a craft show and have just got round to using it now.  I have to admit she was a nightmare to stamp no matter what I did it kept picking up ink in places that it shouldn't be but got there in the end. She was coloured with promarkers and glittered added for that bit of christmas sparkle.  The papers are from Cuddly Buddly and other bits from my stash.

I am entering this into the following challenges.

ABC Challenge - H is for holidays.
Lili of the Valley - anything goes

Wednesday 22 September 2010

Just another quick card I did the other day.  Once again I have used an image from Cuddly Buddly, they just come in so handy.  I used a deep edge MS punch and the sentiment was done on the puter.

Thursday 16 September 2010

Another Cuddly Buddly image, this is Daisy Fairy, isn't she cute.  The backing paper is from the same set.  I followed a sketch on a weekly challenge on a forum I use, which helped me to make this card within 15 minutes, usually I spend ages pondering the design..  Gems and flowers are from my stash and sentiment is done on the puter.
I don't want you all to think that I never make cards so here is one I did for an order.  Image is from Cuddly Buddly as is the paper.  The sentiment was done on the puter and card candy from my stash.  Nice and simple.

Wedding Card

Its been ages since I last blogged, I have made a few cards but to be honest not that many, my mojo went on holiday.....again.

Anyway was asked to make a wedding card for a work collegue, I asked her for a brief but she said whatever I thought best.  I decided to try something a bit more fancy than I would normally go for mainly just for a change and this is what I came up with.  The image is from Karens doodles and coloured with promarkers the backing paper is from Bearly Mine designs.  The sentiment was done on the puter and everything else flowers, pearls etc are from my stash.

I thought I would enter it into the following challenges.

Karens Doodles - Anything goes

Here we go again with challenge no. 10 on I Love Digi.  This time the theme is "emboss it" - wet or dry just add some embossing to your project.

We are sponsored this fortnight by Bee Crafty where you could win 3 digis of your choice.


Its quite difficult to see the embossing on my card I just can't seem to get a very good picture of it.  I used a fiskars embossing board I found unloved in my cupboard.  The image is from Di's digi downloads that I have coloured with promarkers.  The sentiment was done on the computer and the little gone fishing button I have had in my stash forever.

Why not pop along and have a look at the fabulous creations made by the DT team the links are in my side bar.

I Love Digi Challenge #9 - Anything but a card

Blimey these fortnights come round really quickly dont they, time for another challenge on I Love Digi.  Now I would say that this one was difficult for me as I only really make cards so to be asked to make something else was stretching my brain a bit.  I was busy cutting these invites out thinking what am I going to make when I realised that these fit the bill perfectly....how stupid am I...don't answer that.

The image used I bought from Aimee Asher a long time ago its by Tammy deYoung and it was all put together on the computer using word, which I find the easiest to use.

This fortnight we are sponsored by Wink Wink Ink you have the chance to win 3 digis of your choice.

Why not visit the rest of the DT team and have a look at their wonderful creations links are in my sidebar.

We are sponsored by The Secret Crafter, you could win yourself £10 to spend in the shop.



Right on to my card now.  To be honest I really didn't think I was going to get my card made this fortnight but have managed to put together the quickest card ever, so I'm afraid its not very exciting.

The image is from Sandra Dry Digi Images which as usual I have coloured with promarkers, I have had this image forever and its the first time I have actually used it..  The papers and card candy are from my stash

Why not pop along to the rest of the DT blogs and have a look at their fab creations the links are in my sidebar.  We look forward to seeing what you produce.

I Love Digi challenge #7 - charming

Time for another challenge over on I Love Digi. The theme this fortnight is Charming, so dig out those charms and come along and join in.

Our sponsor this time is Sew Many Cards


Right on to my card now. I am not totally happy with this card I have decided I dont like the greeting and I dont like the dark green leaves but hey ho I am not changing it now. Would you believe that I coloured the flowers with the same promarker as the ladys dress, yet they look so different. Well I dug out this little shoe charm that I have had forever and blimey what a faff on I had attaching it to the chain, maybe thats why I dont use charms very often. The image is from Charmed Cards and Crafts and has been coloured with promarkers as usual. The backing paper is Nitwits and everything else including gems, flowers, spacers and brads are from my stash.

Why not visit the other DT blogs for some inspiration the links are in my sidebar.

Easter

I managed to get a bit better photo of this today.

I have used a Karen's Doodles image and coloured it with promarkers. The backing paper is one I downloaded ages ago and credit should be given to Designs by Jen but I can't find the blog I got it off, I will keep looking. I am thinking that this card might be a bit plain and boring and I should add something to it, but haven't decided what yet.

I am entering this card into a couple of challenges

My friend is renewing her wedding vows this year and we spent the other day trying to decide what the invites should look like. She has has chosen the black card one I just thought that I would mock up the opposite version just to see what it looked like. I have put them on here as this is probably the quickest way that she can get to see them. The flowers on the black card will need changing as they are slightly too cream.
