Fairytale Christmas

Fairytale Christmas

Craftie Jellie

I made some papers using the inspiration photo from Fairy tale challenge 

and used the sketch from Stampin from the weekend even though I’ve missed the deadline!

So here is the card

I inked the edges with distress ink and added Perfect pearls. I made the mushroom paper and mushroom pattern paper on computer and the frame with the digi perched on the mushrooms from the photo. I also made the sentiment on the computer. I added the pearls and ribbons from stash.

I coloured the digi using Promarkers. I tried a new technique with distress inks to do the grass and sky background and then put on blue and white Perfect Pearls for some shine.

Thinking of pink

Thinking of pink

I wanted to use my new LOTV stamp and thought it would be perfect for beautiful inspiration picture for the CR84fun colour challenge and for the Stamptacular Sunday sketch (see end of post).

So this is my card

I designed the papers on the computer using the colours from the inspiration photo but also using the themes from the photo (flowers, swirls and stripes). The papers don’t show up too well here but the backing paper is light with a light pink flourish pattern, the horizontal is pink flowers on white and the vertical is black, white and pink stripe.
The edges of the card were coloured with pink alcohol ink and perfect pearrlised!

I chose my LOTV stamp as she is holding flowers and also used a LOTV sentiment. I decided to only use shades of pink to colour her and I created the background and sentiment background using distress ink and perfect pearls.

Shabby Christmas

Shabby Christmas

I thought I’d try a bit of shabby chic for a male Christmas card.

I used distress ink on the outside of the card. I dry embossed the blue card with snowflakes and used distress ink to highlight them and distressed the edges with scissors. I used some snowflake and swirl paper I made on computer, added distress ink and used some ribbon coloured with distress ink.

I added distress ink to the snowflakes and to the die cut and then distressed the die cut LOTV image with scissors.

This is a winter birthday card I made with my own papers made on computer again.

These are more lily papers I made on the computer. I sewed the papers to pink card using running stitch but on the top and side of the sentiment I used an embroidery flower stitch. I used lavender distress ink and perfect pearls on the edges of the card.

I used alcohol inks and glimmer mist to colour the lace and added gems and some WOC flowers.

I coloured the image with Promarkers and stickles for the fur trim. I used lavender distress ink and perfect pearls for the background and added gems. I used another piece of the lace over pink ribbon.

Sweet Blossom birthday card

Sweet Blossom birthday card

Craftie Jellie

This birthday easel card has taken me ages!

I found a free Lily digi and used it to make the frame for Sweet Blossom on my computer.

On the base of the card I used more paper I’d made with the same digi. The butterfly was made using a MS punch (thanks for the inspiration Coops). I coloured some pink card with glimmer mists and Perfect pearls and then punched two butterflies and layered them with a slight uplift on the top one. I added gems to the body.
The raised card with sentiment was decorated with corners, flowers a ribbon and sliding buckle (WOCs) I also used distress inks to colour some lace for the background.

 Another photo to show the 3D effect on the butterfly!

I decorated my flower frame with some additional WOC flowers and used a small butterfly punch in same way to make the little butterflys and added them in frame and added them to give a 3D effect on the top of the card.
Sweet Blossom was coloured with Promarkers and inside the frame I used distress inks and covered with Perfect Pearls.

Around the edge of my backing paper on the top of the card I used Stickles glitter and WOC corners. The edges of the cards were coloured with distress ink and Perfect Pearls.

I used this wonderful inspiration picture for this card.

This gave me tons of ideas and I came up with this card.

I used the colour picker on Craft Artist to match my paper colours to the inspiration picture and used ideas from it for the papers.

The central paper is stripes to match the tablecolth and I made it and added the frames and sentiment in Craft Artist. I used a LOTV die cut and recoloured it with Promarkers to match the inspiration photo colours. I used tattered rose distress ink inside the frames and around the die cut. I coloured clear gems with Promarker for the cake cherries.

The ribbon paper with cupcakes was made on the computer. The next layer down was made to look like petal wallpaper like the wall in the picture. The background paper was also made on computer and features cupcakes. I coloured some more gems for the backing paper to add some zing!

Christmas card for teenage girl

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!
