Ho ho ho!!

Yay, happy Friday everyone!  Mary J here to show you a tag I made using the gorgeous My Favorite Things goodies from the fab Quixotic Paperie store...

For this tag I used the second largest die from the Decorative Circle Tag Stax.  I used the LJD - Stitched Stockings stamp set (the LJD Stocking Trio die matches this set) for one the stockings and hearts that I stamped on Make It Colour Blending Card and layered up for depth.  Here's an angle shot so you can see the depth a little better...

The sentiment is also from the stamp set which I used with the Mini Wavy Pennants die and for the border I used the Dainty Dots Border die topped off with iridescent flat backed pearls.

I used papers from the Carta Bella Merry & Bright pad and die cut it with one of my Nesties that fits this tag die perfectly!

I've got so many more tags to make up - I can't believe how many presents I'm giving away!  I hope I get as many back, lol!  Okay, I gotta go - see you next Friday!

Merry Christmas Wishes

Hello everyone! Delphine here with a Merry Christmas Wishes card, using stamps by The Greeting Farm including the adorable Holiday Anya Two!

Holiday Anya Two comes with the two little snowflakes and the sentiment and banner are from a clear stamp set also by the Greeting Farm called Sparkling Season. There are several TGF clear stamp sets available in the store which can be used on their own of course and are just perfect for lovely QUICK CAS cards!

I stamped everything on Make It Colour Blending Card using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured with Copics. I added a Six Point Snowflake Lasercut Chipboard by Make It Crafty to echo Anya's snowflakes and added little golden pearls to them.

That's all from me today! Thank you very much for your visit, have a great Sunday! Hugs

A Winter Scene

Good morning everyone! It is Sunday, so Delphine here today! Before sharing my card, if you are looking for the Spookalicious Hop with SCACD Stamps and/or want to win some candy and/or if you have not seen Elaine's absolutely amazing card yet, you can and should definitely click HERE!

As for me, you may know I love making and colouring little scenes so when I saw the new Make It Crafty Winter Backgrounds, I could not resist!

My scene is coloured with Copics on Make It Colour Blending Card as always, and combines 4 Make It Crafty stamps: my cute little elf is Rocky from the Christmas Elf Collection, and for the background I used Little Village, Winter Fence and Pine Trees. All these backgrounds stamps are available individually or as a collection.
I also added an elegant snowflake chipboard, coloured with a dark Copic, covered in Stickles and decorated with a pearl.

That's all from me today, thank you very much for your visit, have a great Sunday! Hugs,
Delphine xx

Christmas Angel

Good morning all. Yet again I've had this project made since Monday afternoon, but I'm only just typing this post up midnight Wednesday morning. Seriously. Where ARE my time management skills?! Best make this short and sweet! :)

This project is the end result of an idea that has been in my head since.. what?! Mid October. Yes, I'm slow! :) I've wanted to make my own little 'money wallets' for Christmas, you know the type, right? I'll take some pictures of the inside when I actually have a note to 'embellish' it! HA! Then you'll get the whole shabang.

Meet the super cute little angel from Kraftin' Kimmie - Seraphina. I left out the halo and the sentiment from the set and used my own from Hero Arts. The patterned papers are from Echo Park - Holly Jolly Collection. I used a nestie to create the shape behind Seraphina and made a banner shape from a gorgeous little polka dot paper for her to sit on. :) I also used some yummy Prima E Line Pearls to embellish the wallet a little. I got them in the massive sale Elaine had a while back. Still got a LOT to use!!

That's all from me for now. I gotta get my butt to bed! I'll update my blog later on today with colours and other embellishments and stuff used on this card. Hopefully I'll be able to scrounge a note from somewhere to show you all the full effect of the inside too. :)

Christmas Elf - Floppy

Hi everyone! Sandie here again. Have you seen our November sketch challenge starts today? Check out the post below for details of the sketch ... and the prize ;)

I have a card to share with you that I made using one of Make it Crafty's Christmas Elves. This little guy is called Floppy and he's been coloured with Copic Markers. 

My papers a mix of Crate and October Afternoon and I've matted them with brown, white and blue card. I painted the chipboard chipboard snowflakes, also from Make it Crafty, with white acrylic paint and once they dried I added loads of glitter to them. 

The Ribbon and basic Grey pearls are from my stash. 

Hope you like :)

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

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! :)
