Cute Card Thursday

It's only friday and i've already got this done which is something of a first for me.

This is the challenge on Cute Card Thursday this week....

With Christmas getting closer and us crafters wanting to get a headstart on a busy time of year we thought we would help you to get the ball rolling and make a Christmas Card.

I stamped the Sarah Kay image in grey Versafine ink and coloured it using polychromos and sansodor. Glitter glue was added to parts give a sparkle, although this doesn't show up too well on the photo. The edges of the backer and the image have been cut using a scalloped blade and those on the image outlined with the same colour as the dress. A piece of dotty organza ribbon completes the card.Not traditional Christmassy colours but pretty nontheless.

The green paper is from Dovecraft and the ribbon from Ribbon Oasis.

Cute Card Thursday

I made this last week but had to wait until now to show it as it was sent to the lovely Karen whose Birthday is today.

On Cute Card Thursday last week we were asked.........

Now - onto this week's challenge"FOOD & DRINK"Create a card with an item of food or drink on it somewhere - as simple as that!

This cute image was sent to me by Lynn. I coloured it with polychromos and sansodor. The cup and saucer were covered in Anita's glaze to give them a nice shine. It was then layered it up onto patterned and plain card from my stash. Organza ribbons from Ribbon Oasis were added at the side to match the colours.

Thank You

A couple of weeks back a friend asked if I would like a couple of stamps which she had duplicated. I accepted (of course) but she did not want anything in return for her kindness.

I could not let it go at that so I made this little notebook for her using a Sarah Kay stamp, coloured with polychromos and sansodor and put together with the BIA. The braid is from Hobbycraft and the organza ribbons from Ribbon Oasis.

The card is a ready embossed one from DCWV with a bit of layering and ribbon and a topper from a past issue of Making Cards magazine.

Christmas toppers

I started making these toppers a couple of nights ago then had to give up as the bulb went on my lightbox. Not to be outdone I got my Cuttlebug out yesterday and embossed a few more but because the bits on the corners are only part of the design had to leave them out of the backer.
I did the stitching in different metallic threads and backed them with co-ordinating card then layered onto white backers and put organza bows on them, some have tiny jingle bells.

Don't you just love the spotty lime green ribbon, it is from Ribbon Oasis and is my absolute favourite at the moment.

I have to decide how to use these toppers now, the ones with bells will have to be for hand delivered cards as I don't think they will go through the post too well.
