Using scraps!

Just playing with some scraps to make some Christmas cards. 

All you need is love

 

Too simple?? I can't decide!

Merry {and simple!}

It's a Make the Day Special Saturday!

 

Take a look!

Eve under the mistletoe

A change of day!

For the month of October I'm a Saturday girl over at Make the Day Special! 
Here's my first Saturday card!

 

Happy Monday again!

Hi!  It's my Monday again!

Check it out at Make the Day Special!

It's Monday again...

Hello! Happy Monday!  It's my turn today over at Make the Day Special!
Pop on over and have a look if you have time..  there are so many wonderful products - Paper Smooches is just the tip of the iceberg!

Bee Mine

Hey Gill-Friend!

Surf and Turf, from Paper Smooches! Coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers.  I'm so hooked on masking and inking with sponges at the moment! I thought I would use this technique for the background on this beach scene.

 

 

Time to share a cuppa!

Bit of a venture into different colour schemes for me today!  Fun fun fun!  Colours for this card were completely inspired by the very lovely Attic Door collection from Lemon Owl. Had them for a wee while but not had a chance to use them until today! 

The stamp is Stampingbella - Uptown Girls Clarissa and Camille share a café.  Coloured with copics and promarkers.  Accents on the card include Stampin' Up! Gorgeous Grunge and Die Namics Beautiful Bows.

Hope you like it!

 

 

Faith the Fairy

Here is the lovely "Faith the Fairy" from Stampingbella. She's coloured with copics and promarkers, and the papers are from "Rondelle" by Prima.  The individual words are from "Words We Love" by Technique Tuesday.

Hang in there

Some fun playing with WPlus9 Heartfelt Mix and Hearts & Clouds dies.  Coloured with SU! inks (Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana), and some accents with SU! Gorgeous Grunge (must have set!!)

ooh! the posties been with this lovely parcel of yumminess from MTDS!   All the lovely WPlus9 pre-orders have arrived!   Can't wait to play!!

MTDS

Some fantastic new cards from my DT chums over at Make The Day Special!  Why not pop over and have a look!

Here's a couple of mine - not had much time as I've been away on holiday!

Thanks Teacher!

Paper Smooches "Smarty Pants"... coloured with ProMarkers and Copics.

This was great fun to make! 

Playing with the Gelli Plate

First time playing with the Gelli plate!  Great fun! (a wee bit messy!) Used Sherrill Sorbets acrylics (had them for ages and was never sure exactly what to do with them!) They have a lovely pearl effect.  Teamed up with a Prima honeycomb mask.  Then set with the heat gun before stamping JOFY 09 from Paperartsy in Tuxedo Black Memento.  Finished off with some paper piecing, some white gel pen, crystal effects and chunky white Frantage.  

Over all I’m quite happy with this for a first attempt!

oh what to do with this? might just be one of my most fav stamp sets!

more colouring!

Washi - wonderful Washi!

Arrived today!  Say no more....   playtime!

Hello

This card is inspired by the green chevron paper. All the papers and cardstock are Stampin’ Up! (Island Indigo, More Mustard and Old Olive). The digi is a lovely Saturated Canary which I love to colour!  I love the simple “Hello” sentiment from Die-Namics.

 

 

Wryn

I've not coloured Wryn for ages - she's such a lovely image from Tiddlyinks!  Kept the colours simple on this one - the Papers are Rondelle from Prima.

4 the love of Monday

Hi! It's my DT Monday again!  Here's my entry - why don't you pop on over to Make The Day Special!

Sweet-hearts

Yes, I've gone colouring mad these days... if it stays still long enough then it gets coloured in!   (Murphy the cat better watch out!)

This started out as lots of mistakes and off-cuts.. then put them all together!!

 

Daisy

Playing with Flexmarkers and Copics this afternoon – as it’s so miserable outside!  And it’s so cold! Got the heating on!

The greeting is by Paper Smooches, and the lovely papers are from Lawn Fawn. 

Card made for work colleague.. it's three in one card and 8"x8"...

three in one because you open it and there are two other card fronts inside.. the right hand opens out again to reveal the inside of the card and space for messages etc.

 

I love making these!

Dream, Love, Treasure

More searching through stamps to see what I could find.. and here is a Gorjuss Girl/Technique Tuesday combo! 

Coloured with Copics.

Found some black papers and some Swarovski crystals – the real thing really does sparkle better!

 

Oodles of hearts

I was having a wee look around in some (of the many) boxes of unmounted stamps that I have and I came across this lovely Stampin Bella stamp. Stamped her with Stazon then coloured using Tim Holtz Distress Markers.  Added some Stampin’ Up! Dazzling Details to the trim of her dress.

Also found a huge collection of bakers twine that I forgot I had!  Oops!
