Snowy and fluffy!

Snowy and fluffy!

Craftie Jellie

Not sure what I think of this attempt!

Not the best photo! I coloured my penguin digi with Promarkers and used flower soft to get fluffy feathers! I also used flowersoft and coloured it with glitter to make my coloured snow, colouring behind it with Promarkers and using stickles for the falling snow. The digi papers were made on computer with Craft Artist. I used my snowflake punches and a LOTV Let it snow sentiment.

Once again I’ve pushed myself out of my comfort zone. I’m not one for traditional Christmas cards and traditional Christmas colours.

I used a LOTV die cut with added stickles and stamped my LOTV sentiment in red with yellow chalk on the background to make it look a bit aged. Card and papers from stash (papers free with magazines) Bow and stars also from stash. I punched the gold card with star punches.

I was playing around with pear green and lilac to make digi papers and for colouring my digi.

The background papers were made using my computer. The top layer and tag is textured card sanded with an emery board and the outer edge blended with green distress ink.

I used a button from stash and some white ribbon cut out from my clothes (the annnoying ones used to keep clothes on the hanger which constantly come out when you’re wearing them so I cut them off and keep the for crafting and gift tags!). I coloured the ribbon with lavender distress ink.

This is such a gorgeous digi!

I used Antique Rose distress ink blended oto the edges of the card and on the black and white flower backing paper. I then dabbed it around my image. I used two layers of lilac ribbon which are both fairly translucent.

I coloured my Silver Fairy digi with Promarkers and added some Lilac stickles. I’m leaving it without a sentiment for now so I can add one when I know who the card is going to be for!

This card is for an inspirational lady who has been battling cancer.

I colour matched and printed my papers. I used a LOTV die cut on some dark blue shiny card from stash and I used a MS butterfly punch for rhe top.

I printed matched paper for the back of the card. I used Craft Artist to make the paper with a lace and flower frame and added a white frame in the centre to write my message on.


This is the card base. I typed and printed my sentiment “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves”. I layered fabric flowers, placed flower pins through the middle and bent them round before attching them to the card.

It’s a bit like Narnia

It’s a bit like Narnia

This LOTV die cut makes me think of Narnia becuase there is a postbox in the middle of the woods! I thought of using it when I saw some lovely tree inspiration photos for challenges. I used a great sketch but had to flip the embellishments so I didn’t cover the best bits of my background layer! I used distress ink around the edges of the card.

The tree paper was from stash and the snowflake paper was from the Snowman selection. I also used black card from stash.

I used my LOTV let it snow sentiment stamped in blue with added stickles and pearls. I punched two black snowflakes, added silver ink over the top, cut them up and stuck them to the back of the sentiment.
My snowflake embellishments were punches from blue glitter paper and black paper with added silver ink effect. I stuck them together and on two of them added a blue snowflake gem and to the third I added a bead that looks like a snowball with glossy accents and added some pearls.

Here is my first attempt at a fancy easel card- I made up the folding bit to get my star further back so my characters could look at it!!

I was trying to use up some of my freebies from magazines and my stash. I designed and printed out my star of wonder, coloured it with Pormarkers and stickled it. I mounted the star and my characters on matching paper.  I added a star gem as well. I used glitter foam and cut a band and star to hold the easels in place. I designed and printed my sentiment.

This was part of a free decoupage kit but the colouring was very pale so I coloured over the top with Promarkers!

Girly winter in pastels!

Girly winter in pastels!

Craftie Jellie

I needed to make a girly Winter card ready for a birthday in December. When I saw the beautiful inspiration card photo for the Ribbon Reel Challenge (see end of post) I knew the pastel flower theme together with my Winter angel digi would be perfect.

 I made the flower paper with the roses wreath on the computer using Craft artist. I blended Distress ink on the paper and I used Promarkers to colour the flowers on the paper. The Winter Fairy digi was coloured with pastel Promarkers and then I used somepink, light green and white stickles on some parts of the image.

I made the background paper by stamping repeated flower patterns using purple and blue ink.

The LOTV sentiment was stamped in purple onto card which had been distressed. The frame was stamped as well and decorated with 4 pearl embellishments. I punched the corners of the frame and threaded ribbon through. I coloured the flowers on the ribbon using the dusky pink Promarker and stickles.

I made the flower embellishment. The two layers of flowers from stash were distressed and decorated with pink stickles on the bottom layer and white on the top layer. I then removed the flower head off a flower pin using cutters and added it with glossy accents.

I decided to focus on the image by using all the colours I wanted there and kept to purple and black for the papers.

I designed the papers on the computer and printed them out. I blended distress ink around the edge of the card and on the card for the sentiment.

The sentiment is LOTV and I stamped that and a Forever Friends frame using purple ink.
