Special Friend

A friend asked me to make this card for her best friend, so haven't been able to put it on til now, and I love it.  I made it using Dreamees papers from the Christmas Extravaganza cd in pink.

I used simple matt n layering techniques using three different papers although I realise it looks like four. I used the same papers to make the flowers. The sentiment was created using 'curlz' font in word on my computer as was the name circle. 

A little glamour dust was added for sparkle. 

I used one of the papers again to decorate the inside of the card. Really happy with this one.

Ugly Jumper

This card has been made using a Saturated Canary digi stamp "Ugly Christmas Sweater" and I love her! I love the massive glasses.

I went for a monotone style with this one so I coloured her in EB1&7 and then popped the stocking and candy canes with CR8.

I layered her onto a piece of brown card which I'd embossed with a Dreamees snowflake. This was in turn layered onto a strip of music score (from a Dreamees cd) and gold lacey stuff and finally layered onto a natural wood chip style paper xx

The little sentiment says "Oh. This isn't the Ugly Christmas Sweater Party?" and comes with the digi stamp. I made a double bow with red butchers string to add to the top of the tag.

I'm entering her into Divas by Design CAS challenge this month.

Hope you like her.

Oopsy

Sorry folks, been ages since I was last here, a month anyway.  Been busy making cards but just got round to updating here...lol

I am hoping to stand on the 14th November at a ladies pamper evening at the school I work to help raise funds for some of our students going on a trip to India to visit an orphanage in Machilipatnam.

 I've made bookmarks too for something a little different.  The image on this one was "Ratatouille" which I've used by Krista at Saturated Canary before but shrunk down quite a bit, I also did a few other images of hers too. I will make some more Christmassy ones too as we will be getting into the season then...



 

I've also made little present boxes, these are more birthday really but plan on doing some more seasonal ones for the pamper evening too.

I've also attended a Dreamees workshop since I last blogged, where we made a beautiful Christmas card, a decoration and a lovely tag and hope to be able to use what I've learned to make some similar products. You'll see those in a later post x


Love n Light, thanks for popping by.

Tea Time

This card is made using some freebie downloads from Dreamees fb page https://www.facebook.com/Dreamees within the photo album. 

I made it to say "Thanks for having me" to my step mum. I've left it til I got home to post so she wouldn't see it before she got it so to speak :-)

I love doing swirly roses x and love the colours xx lovely card for a lovely lady 

Spritz

I'm a little behind on my blogs altho my fb page is up to date...tut tut, so here goes. I'm also on holiday so cant do proper links but will try. This image is a Saturated Canary image called Spritz. I love Krista's images. I've coloured him in a number of colours, this one being the more traditional one. I used my usual FS1&3 for his skin, TN1&2 for his hair, LG1&2 for his wings, pants and boots. The hat and candy stick were

CR8.

The Recipe of Christmas stamp is from Dreamees, a local company I purchase from quite regularly. I believe they have deal where tou can purchase a bundle of different 'recipe' stamps too at the moment.

The background star paper and green n white card were in my stash. I made this card A5 landscape my other Spritz's I've made 5 x 5 square xx

Congratulations

Here's a recent card made for some friends who had a little boy last Tuesday morning.

I used blue heart paper from my stash and coloured in a stamped image by The Inky Printy Stamp Company (www.justinklined.com) which I'd purchased at Summer Crafting earlier this year. I coloured it using spectrum noir pens. I made rolled roses from the same blue paper and added a nice deep blue button from my button pot! 

I forgot to take a final photo but I tied red butchers twine through the button and added a "congratulations" sentiment in the circle xx 

Inside I used the same blue heart paper and die cut a scalloped circle so I could write in my message. 

Mummy was very happy, if tired 😊 

Stockings

I love this Saturated Canary image she is so sweet. 

I started layering the card with some natural paper and a little gold lacey stuff then added a piece of red glitter card and a couple of homemade crochet flowers in glittery red and green cotton. I added a button to finish the flower off. 

The image was coloured in spectrum noir pens: FS1&3 for her skin, EB1 and CR8 LG1&2 for her pj's and the stockings. 

I decided to give her a dotty background on advice from another crafty lady as I thought there was too much white showing behind the image. Above I had used FS1,2&3 and the LG1&2 but it needed to pop. I added a few CR8 and here's the result. Hope you like it. 

Thanks for calling by

Love n Light
