Sugar Plum Fairy Enchantress

Hey,

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

Here's a Christmas card I made using this lovely image by Heather Valentin called Sugar Plum Fairy Ethereal Enchantress. I love the Nutcracker ballet.

The image is colored with Promarkers and I have used some scrap patterned papers to create this card. I have so many bits and pieces of cardstock and patterned papers that I have to use them from time to time. I can't throw those bits away (am I the only one?) On the pink cardstock I created my own background using a lovely candy cane stamp and red ink. I also used a doily edge punch, distress ink, ballet slippers charm, holly leaves and red gems.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hugs,
Kitty

DDS - Snowboard Sammy

Hey!

Here's a snowball easel card I created using a winter digi from Digi Doodle Studios.

The image is called "Snowboard Sammy" from the Winter Collection and colored it using Promarkers. The card is very easy to make. I created a circle by tearing little pieces of a square piece of white cardstock. I used white gesso to create texture and while wet I added glitter to it to give it the effect of glistening snow. I added felt snowflakes, gems, punched out snowsflakes, die cut snowflake, snowflake charm and a snow sentiment to finish it.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

DDS - Penguin Wobbles Special Delivery

Hey!

Here's a card I'd like to share with you using a lovely Christmas image from Digi Doodle Studios.

The image is called "Penguin Wobbles Special Delivery" from the Believe in the Magic Collection and I colored it using Promarkers. When I saw this image I had to create a card in the shape of a gift and with a big bow. It is such an easy card to make, but I think it's doing the image justice. If you like to create a card like this one just cut a strip of cardstock that is slightly wider than your card base and adhere it with thick foam tape on the top part of your card and tie a big piece of ribbon around the front of the card and make a pretty bow so that it's on the top part of your card.

There is also a challenge over at the DDS Challenge Blog.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Happy Halloween

Hey!

Happy Halloween to you all. Even though we don't celebrate this in my country I always decorate my living room and send Halloween cards to my family since my fathers passing on Halloween 2007. I can't believe it's 11 years.

Here's a stand and slide card I made using a fun image called "Amelia Curiosity" from Heather Valentin. These cards are so simple to make. I made one ages ago and thought it would be nice to let Amelia float on a piece of sturdy plastic from a embossing folder packaging. I added my favourite bats die cuts from a Cuttlebug cut & embos spider and bats set and I added the spider as if it is coming from inside the stand. The cardbase is made from purple cardstock and I used some pieces of scrap Halloween paper.

Sunshine Elf Buttercup and Lil Pine

LSS - Bookworm Gothie of the Kryptt

Hey!

Here's a Halloween lollipop card I created with one of the gorgeous images by Heather Valentin from Lacy Sunshine.

The image is called "Bookworm Gothie of the Kryptt" and I colored it using Promarkers and fuzzy cut it.
These cards are so easy and fun to make. I took 3 strips of double side designer paper of 12x2 inch and scored on every 1/2 inch. Then I folded it accordion style and adhered the end together to form a circle. Puched the circle down and created the width I wanted and ahered a big circle die cut with hot glue on top so it stayed the size I wanted it. After that you can add all the items you want. I added black netting from garlic bulbs (love to recycle), bat die cuts, gem stones, black doily, glitter swirls, paper straw, black tule ribbon and purple sentiment using a dymo letra embossing tag.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

DDS - Chanel Masquerade Ball

Hey!

Here's a bottle tag I made using the lovely "Chanel Masquerade Ball" from Digi Doodle Studios.

The tag is made out of black linen cardstock. I punched a hole that fits a bottle and folded so that it hangs perfect on a bottle neck. The image is colored with Promarkers. I stamped firework on the tag using white ink and added some dots using white gell pen. I had beautiful sparkling cardstock that I just had to use on this tag. The die that I used is a brandless one and I have cut it out of the circle it was in and cut the cuts into pieces to fit it behind the mat and I have added 3 punched out little stars.
The sentiment says Happy New Year. It's never too early to make something for the new year. Right?
