More shades of blue!

Good evening, well here I am to share another card with you today, 2 in one day it's been a while since I managed that!  This card is made from papers and scraps I had on my desk from my Crafty Catz DT card this week hence more shades of blue!  This time I have used an image from Sami Stamps called 'Hot Cocoa' coloured with copics and spectrums, papers are from Barely Mine Designs and I have added some blue cs which I have embossed and chose to use the words here instead of any stamped sentiment and the card is finished off with some organza ribbon and 3 little white snowflakes oh and just a touch of glamour dust!

BUGABOO

prize...7 images of winners choice

The DT team were very generously given some images to play along with and boy have the ladies been busy and made fabulous pieces for your inspiration so be sure to hop over and check them out.  For my card I used Bug Snow Friends, coloured with copics and spectrums and lots of sparkle in the form of glitter, glamour dust and Detail Sparkle (that I had forgotten about!).  The papers are all from Bearly Mine Designs with cs from First Editions.  The button is using the Epiphany Crafts punch, the little snowmen are an x-cut punch then filled with glitter, the trees are PM and the branches and flowers are Die'sire and I added some little beads to them for some more sparkle! Hope you get time to join the Crafty Catz this week.

A Little Holly Fairy

Ok, I've realised that the C word is actually not that far away and I really do need to get on with my cards so that they are ready to post! Without further delay here is one I have made today using a fabulous digi stamp from Charmed Cards And Crafts which I have had for several years and she always comes out at least once this time of year!  The colours are traditional but a little muted/vintage, the wonderful papers are Bo Bunny, again quite old but I do still have scraps of it.  The upturned flower pot is a Cricut cut and all the other die cuts are Die'sire dies, added a tiny bit of glamour dust to her dress and boot tops, well it would be rude not to!  She is also slightly raised using foam pads.

A Happy Little Post

The other week I won the challenge at Sweet Stampin' with this card

And this is the awesome prize I received in the post at the end of last week from Stix2, oh and a glue stick which seems to have missed it's photo opportunity! lol

And as if that wasn't happy news enough, while chatting to Ria via messenger and skype it turns out she has no lectures Wed-Fri so she is coming home for a visit.  I'm feeling really excited that when I finish work tomorrow at 8:30 she will be at home.  :) :) :)

Crafty Catz Challenge #300 ~ Winter

Good morning well the weather here today in Dorset certainly fits with the theme over at Crafty Catz this week, our wonderful Aunty Sue wants to see Winter on our projects well looking out of my window this morning, we've got wind, rain, fog and it's cold so I think that classes as wintry!  Just missing something else that I am not going to mention but is shown on my card! Anyway we have a wonderful sponsor for you, this week it's

CREATIVE CLASSROOM

So onto my card which should have been nice and easy and straightforward but everything that could go wrong did but I wont bore you with all the details but is safe to say I now have a little less hair! lol  So I have used this cute image from Crafty Sentiments Designs and coloured him with copics, spectrums and first editions, added glamour dust to his snow balls and liquid pearls and a touch of flower soft to his hat. Cut him out and layered him onto the background which has been embossed with swiss dots, some ribbon and a bow, added the stamped sentiment, matted it all onto some blue cs and added the die cut mittens, He turned out ok in the end!
