Crackered Elf

Morning crafters, t'is me Sheila once popping on to share with you my latest  creation with you yep t'is another Christmas card! :-), this time using one of the new wonderful Make it Crafty Christmas images.
This pair of pesky elves are called Crackered Elf.

I've also used a Make it Crafty Chippie leaf flourish which you can find right HERE.

 Now aren't these two pesky elves just adorable, & they were so much fun to colour too.

I hope you will pop over to the store and check them out.

You're hot stuff!!!

Hi ladies, it's nice to see you again and I'm glad I have a card to share.

I love this image, I would colour it again and again, so meet Kenny K's ''Buggin Drummer'' and I thought the sentiment would be perfect, it's from Elzybells, retired unfortunately. I've used Die-namics to make the music notes, QuicKuts dies to make the stars, the papers are from My Mind's Eye, an older collection and the brads are from stash, I'm sorry I don't have the package anymore.

I hope you like my card, wish you a great week, and see you next Sunday, same place, but a little bit earlier than today.

Hugs,
Alina

Geeky Love

Morning folks! Judy here!

Sorry to be absent for so long :)

The last couple of weeks were the kids mid term holidays and it has taken me till Friday i.e. today,  to get back into the swing of things again :))

As it is Friday I have some lovely goodies to share with you from Quixotic Paperie.

Firstly I have used 'Geeky Love' from Make it Crafty and coloured the image with copics. What a cute couple ! I have also added a few pearls to the centre of the flowers for a little dimension. The papers are MME 'Lost and Found', which have a really lovely vintagey feel to them.

Thanks for popping by today. I would love to hear from you to know that you have popped by today !

Have a great weekend!
Judy

Christmas Fun

Mary J here getting ahead with my Christmas cards!  Let me introduce you to this gorgeously sweet Holiday Peekers - Where On The Tree by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD...

 

Isn't she SWEET?!  I used papers from My Minds Eye 12 Days of Christmas pad and I paper pieced the bauble and then used my Copics to shade it for depth.  I also added a glitter pen to highlight the snowflakes on the patterned paper and the mini bauble to make them pop more.  Here's a close up...

I used my sketch again for this month's Quixotic Inspiration challenge - I love it, even if I say so myself!!  Go to this post here to join in for a chance to win your own gorgeous Quixotic Paperie goodies!

 

The Bestest of Friends! :)

Good morning!! Hope you've all had a good start to the week. I'm gonna keep this short and sweet 'cause I am pooped!! I did have a plan in mind to use the Quixotic Sketch as inspiration for this card, but I've only recently got my laptop back to life after leaving my charger at my boyfriends over the weekend. NEVER again. I've been having withdrawls. So, inspite of the fact I don't have a photographic memory.. I had to go with something different.

Instead I used an adorable Some Odd Girl Stamp - Tobie and His Puppy stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I've had this stamp for forEVA but only just got round to inking him up now. Is that bad?! I don't know why I put it off for so long, him and his pup are the sweetest (of friends)!! There are so many colour options with this image too, you could make your project really personal! :)

I have coloured Tobie using Copics and ProMarkers to match papers from MME Mabel 6x6 paper pad. I've also used a paper doily and some American Crafts Ribbon. The edges have been distressed and I've doodled around the main panel on the cardbase using a brown fineliner.

Like I said, short and sweet! ;) Enjoy your Wednesday.. whatever you may be doing.

The Gift of Love - Sweet Angel

Good morning! It's Sandie here again and today I would like to share a card I made using the new Make it Crafty Christmas Elf - Sweet Angel. 

My papers are Basic Grey's Wassail and they've been machine stitched. I added some lasercut chipboard corners, which I left bare except for some sparkle and a single pearl on each one

I coloured my image with copic markers and added loads of Star Dust Stickles for sparkle. Then I trimmed her out and mounted her on 3D dots onto some music sheet paper and a white doily. 

Hope you like :) Thanks for dropping in

Just for you

Hi ladies, here I am, on a lovely Sunday morning, it's nice to see you again.
For my card I've used some First Edition papers and my Die-namics, a very sweet Elisabeth Bell stamp - The Peekers #2 Secret Garden (don't you love her?) and also Mary's sketch for the first Quixotic Paperie Challenge and we have some great entries so far, but we hope to see many more, of course.

Prima Meets Quixotic Paperie Sketch Challenge

Hey Guys, have you played along with our first Sketch Challenge yet? It's a great sketch from Mary and if you play along you could win a gift token to spend in Quixotic Paperie or see your work here on the blog.

Well here is my take on the sketch, I've used paper from the Prima Marketing Alla Prima pack and the Prima Marketing Londonerry cling stamp set for this card.

The stamping uses the Archival Coffee ink pad.

A little bit of stitchery, a bit of tearing, some mulberry paper and embossing for this make.

If you want to see the sketch then pop on other to the Sketch Challenge post, there is more inspiration with this fabulous sketch here on the blog and on the design team's blogs (listed in the sidebar).

Have fun with the challenge and see you next week.

Kim

Holiday Peeker from behind the wreath!

Happy Thursday everyone!  Mary J with a Christmas card using the gorgeously sweet Holiday Peekers - Festive Welcome by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD...

 Oh my, she is so ADORABLE!  This card is definitely going to my grandma - she will just love this sweetie!  And even though I am her eldest granddaughter she will remember me as the sweet 6 year old she used to babysit!

Here's a close up where you can see I used some Fluffy Stuff on her clothing trim...

 I used papers from My Minds Eye 12 Days of Christmas pad and the snowflake is from the Marianne D Creatables Swedish Ice Star die set.

 And do you like the layout?  I used my sketch for this month's Quixotic Paperie challenge!  Go to this post here to join in for a chance to win your own gorgeous Quixotic Paperie goodies!

That's it from me today - see you next Thursday!

I haven't seen you around..

Hi everyone! It's Sandie here with a project I created using one of the super cute Paper Makeup monster stamps. This little guy, hiding under a pile of leaves, is called Leif Monster and my papers are Basic Grey's Mellow

I coloured my Monster and shaded the background with copics and used nestabilities to cut out the circle/scalloped circle. The matching sentiment comes with the stamp.

I also used the sketch from the very first Quixotic Paperie sketch challenge when creating my card. Have you entered??? Don't forget - a random winner will receive a £15 prize to use at Quixotic Paperie! You can find the post HERE. 

I can see these cute monsters being firmly placed on my favourites list!!

Thanks for looking.

Christmas Trio

Good morning all!! I've had time to schedule my post this week so it's going up early! ;) I know, I know.

So here's the deal.. you know when you sit down to colour and it just ain't happening? No? Okay, just me then.. Well I had planned on making a card using a gorgeous Elisabeth Bell stamp and the new Quixotic Sketch, but I just couldn't get my colouring to work. :( Stoopid. So instead I aimed for something I've been making a lot of lately - Christmas cards.

I've been making SO many the past few weeks that I've even started turning to non Christmas themed products to make my projects. So I thought I'd show you all how to use a none Christmas related paper pack. My Minds Eye - Portobello Road. Gorgeous colours and designs, but so far from Christmas - so how did I go about it all?! It's simple.. I kept my cards.. well.. simple. :)

Here is a picture of all three cards together. I used some cream linen cardstock for each card base as it went so well with the patterned paper.

This is my fave card of the set. I think. I've used some striped patterned paper which I have cut at a diagonal - I find diagonal stripes so much more fun. For embellishment I added two teeny tiny chipboard baubles from MiC!

I hope you've enjoyed looking at this little Christmas set. I had real fun making it, and it was great to take a break from colouring. Enjoy your Wednesday whatever you're up to! :)

Bright

Hi ladies, it's nice to meet you again on this Sunday evening, I hope you're fine!
Today I'd like to share with you a card I've made using this very cute Kraftin' Kimmie ''Toymaker Elf'' (by the way, there are more elves in the store, all of them great!!!!) and some My Mind's Eye- ''Be Merry'' papers, I can't tell you how much I like them! The snowflake and swirls are made using a Whiff of Joy die and also stamps.

That's all from me for today, have a great week and see you next Sunday!

Hugs,
Alina
