My Favourite Things Christmas Cards.

Just catching up with the Christmas cards so I thought I would post one showing all the cards I made using My Favourite Things Stamps. They are all made using the same clean and simple layout. The first three I made using stamps from the Santa's Elves collection. I cut a partial circle using the Friskars circle cutter from My Favourite Things papers - Calm and Cozy

I used Queen & co Washi tapes along the edges of the cards and added some gems on to the cards.  I used star dust stickles on the images to make the fluffy bits sparkle. I stamped the greetings using Versa Mark and adhered the images using 3d foam. On one card I used Doodlebug letters to personalize the card for a cousin.

I used these promarkers & flexmarkers to colour the images -
Clothes & presents -
Lime Zest, Lime Green & Grass.
Grass, Emerald & Pine.
Poppy, Ruby & Cardinal Red.
Powder blue for shading.
Bells & Hair - Canary & Gold. 

These next two cards use stamps from the set called Merry Christmoose. I cut a partial circle using the Friskars circle cutter from My Favourite Things paper - Fresh Squeezed Chevron.
I used Queen & co Washi tapes along the edges of the cards and added some gems on to the cards. I stamped the greetings using Versa Mark and adhered the images using 3d foam.

I used these Promarkers and Flexmarkers to colour the images -
Ice Greys
Lime Zest, Lime Green & Grass,
Powder blue, Sky blue & True blue,
Pastel green, Oasis & Ocean Teal.
Hot pink & Wild Cranberry.

I hope you like these simple cards - they were great for making for all my friends as they were pretty quick to do.
Back soon with the normal posting schedule and maybe some exciting news...
See you soon,

Alpaca ma Scarf (Love a pun!)

This stamp is from Lawn Fawn and is called Winter Alpaca - I love the pun sentiment that goes with this image! I used paper from the Lawn Fawn Snow Days collection. I cut a partial circle shape with the friskars cutter and glued it to the A6 card base.

I stamped the sentiment on the card at the side of the coloured image which I adhered with 3d foam, along with a couple of presents from the My Favourite things stamps I blogged about earlier.
I used a stripe of Queen & Co Washi tape along the edge of the card along with a few little clear gems.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Presents - Powder blue & Pastel green
Scarf - Poppy & Cardinal Red.
Alpaca - Powder blue shading, Ice grey 1 & 3 on legs & face.

Happy New Year everyone and normal service will resume shortly!

Love from Pig

Hello - Thought I would do a quick post for this card that I made recently for the Boyf's birthday.

His pet name for me is Pig (in an affection way like Babe the pig in the film - not in the fat greedy way??! Although I do like to trough down on cake and chocolate!)

This image was perfect for his card and is called Birthday Pig with Balloon from Gerda Steiner Designs. This image was free and there are several others that are on offer also but they are all such lovely crisp images - I know I am going to become a regular customer!

The striped background paper is from My Minds Eye - Black & Grey necessities and the blue spot is washi tape from Queen & co. I hand cut a tag from Kraft card and tied some black ribbon through the punched hole. After I had coloured the image I added some glaze to the balloon and sprinkled some cosmic shimmer glitter into it. I then used 3D foam to attach the image to the tag and used Peels off & Doodlebug letters to create the sentiment. I also added an enamel Heart from Hobbycraft and a few co-ordinating enamel dots.

I coloured Pig in with Baby pink, Cocktail pink & Salmon pink pro/flexmarkers.
I used Powder blue, Sky & Azure on the balloon and Turquoise, lime & canary on his hat.
I also used a little warm grey to add some shading.

It's a simple card but really please with how effective it has turned out and will def be using more of these fab images.
