First Cards of 2009! :)

Hey everyone! Haven't been blogging for absolutley agess!!! Hope you all had a good Christmas and new year! :)

These are my first birthday cards of 2009...

They're pretty similar, but different at the same time lol. I used DCWV and Basic Grey 'Phoebe' papers for the background. I layered up the flowers and attached them together with brads. The circle stamp layered up on punched out circles and to finish off, organza ribbon, buttons and a bit of bling!

TFL!

SNOW!!

45 days till christmas!! WooWoo!! So many cards to make...so little time!
I was inspired for this card from a magazine too, i used the pink themed christmas papers from DCWV for the background.
The green circle cut out using the largest nestabilities circle.
Pink stickles, bling and punched out snowflakes to finish off!

Christmas Cones!

Still in a Chrismassy mood, I made a couple of cone shaped mini gift boxes, great for small things like sweeties...YUM...I was inspired by one in a copy of 'Cards and Crafts for Christmas' by 'Simply Cards and Papercraft'.

So far I have made two of these, a blue themed one and a pink and green one.

The pattern was from the magazine, and I just covered them with christmas patterned papers.

To finish off, some glitter down the edges, punched out snowflakes and a ribbon handle.

TFL!

Star Wreath!!

Well, only a few months and then its CHRISTMAS! Woooo!!!...LOL....So i thought i'd get into the christmas spirit a bit early by making a star wreath to hang on the tree.
The star shape is the middle sized one on the star Sizzix die, cut out 10 stars in various, matching colours and patterns. Then I stuck the stars onto two card circles, made using Nestabilities, to give it a bit of strength.
And to finish I added cute buttons, a green ribbon to hang it on and drew a stitched pattern along the edge of the stars to give it that 'homemadey feel'.

TFL!

Gingerbread Cookies!!

Well, after a brilliant holiday and not quite so brilliant first few weeks in Year 11, I'm back with my first post for September. I said that I would make a card with the Gingerbread Cookies downloadable papers by Tinker & Co, that I won last month, from the Penny Black Saturday Challenge!....so here it is.

The papers and the cute gingerbread man are from the Gingerbread Cookies downloadable pack. The plain circle and the scalloped circle are cut out using Nestabilities, then I added some sweet buttons, ribbon, happy christmas and of course, GLITTER!

Papertake Weekly Challenge!

This week the challnge was this fantastic sketch by Katharina.....I'm sure I will use this again too!

For my card I used a Penny Black reindeer stamp and watercoloured him in...insn't he soooo cute!..lol

Red and Green papers and the Stamps Away word stamp again!...lol

To finish off as usual, some bling and stick on ribbon.

TFL!

Swingin' Penny Black!

I love this stamp but have never really used it, so instead of carrying on with christmas cards, I thought i'd make a birthday card with this great Penny Black stamp.

• Image is watercoloured
• Stamps Away word stamp
• Basic Grey papers.....from Phoebe range
• Flowers, bling, ribbon and sparkle to finish off...as usual...lol

Christmas Tilda and New Home Card!

I made these two cards yesterday, as its the summer hols and can finally get some crafting time! Yay!!




Pink & Green Christmas Tilda!!

I love this Tilda stamp, but haven't used until now and am really pleased with my 3rd christmas card of the year!..although I have still got a lot to make yet...lol.

I used pink and green backing papers, coloured Tilda in with watercolours, punched out snowflakes, buttons and the Stamps Away stamp...again!!...

Then to finish off...with stickles glitter and ribbon!

New Home Card

One of my friends is due to move house, so I thought I would attempt a new home card.

The card is purple pearly card, then I used purple and white spotty backing paper, the cute house stamp is painted with pearly paints.

To finish off...purple ribbon, a white flower with sparkly purple brad and the 'new home' words.

TFL!

Penny Black Saturday Challenge 8...No Pink!

This is my entry for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge, number 8, the rule was No Pink!!!
I used a cute robin Penny Black stamp, and watercoloured the image.
Layered him onto DCWV backing papers. The sentiment is a Stamps Away clear stamp.
Added ribbon, bling and stickles to finish off!
