When I got home tonight I had a great package full of goodies from Tracy at Dies to Die for for my design team duties. This was just the incentive I needed to get back into my craft room!

I decided to use the great sketch on Papertake Weekly to make a card for my gran who hasn't been too well and is waiting for test results. The cute little owl stamp and great papers are both available at Dies to Die For. Sorry for the pic, but it's back to struggling to get a decent picture in our lovely winter!

Couple from yesterday

I made a couple of cards yesterday afternoon that I didn't get time to share last night.

The first is using this lovely Tilda stamp, which I've used paper piecing and watercolour on. I've covered the card in some paper from my stash and added a strip of lilac card with a white ribbon tied round it. The greeting is Pink Petticoat.

The next one continues my quest to use up my old stash. These embellishments I thought would be great for a teenager, as there is an i pod, walkman and CD player. I've covered the card in paper from Doodlebug and then embossed white card with my cuttlebug embossing folders. I've then punched 4 circles and added an embellishment to each before adding to the card. The sentiment is a stamp from a See D's set. I like this layout for using small embellishments.

I love Penny Black!

I love Penny Black images they are just so cute and I think the hedgehog is my favourite. These have all been coloured, but were waiting to me make up into cards so I thought I better finish them off this side of Christmas!!


The first one if an image from Natty K and I have coloured using Marvy Le Plume pens. Image and Pink Petticoat sentiment mounted onto red card. The paper is from one of the Dovecraft sets. This image I got from Michelle at The Card Grotto and he is just so easy to colour in. I've added stickles to his hat, scarf and the snow. He's mounted onto blue card, the paper from Partners is also mounted onto blue card. I've coloured a peel off blue to finish off.

Another image from Natty K, again coloured using Marvy Le Plume pens, I've added stickles to the edge and mounted onto a red scalloped circle. The paper is from Doodlebug and I have added a strip of red card to finish off. Peel off has been coloured red.

Pink Petticoat Christmas Cards

Made a couple more Christmas cards, using Pink Petticoat images.

The first card is using the Lolas Occasion collection and I have coloured her with watercolour pencils and added stickles. I've then mounted her onto great card and also mounted a Pink Petticoat sentiment onto green card. I've then covered a square card in paper from the new DCWV christmas stack and added Lola to the left hand side of the card, the sentiment at the bottom right and 3 little stars to the top right.

The second card I have covered a DL card in Doodlebug papers. I've then punched out 3 cupcakes with hollie and coloured them in with Marvy Le Plume pens and added stickles to the frosting and edged the circle in red ink. Then mounted onto card and finished with a Pink Petticoat sentiment edged in red.

Happy 21st Birthday

I was asked to make a 21st Birthday card by one of our sales guys for his girlfriend. I don't know her and he didn't really give my any ideas so I decided to use my trusty Ellison Champagne bottle.

I covered the bottom of an A5 card with Doodlebug paper and added ribbon to the top. I then cut out the champagne bottle and cork from silver and gold mirri card and added wire to the top of the bottle. I curved a couple of congratulation peel offs along the wire and added some silver stars. I added her name to the ribbon and some papermania jewels, 21 cut using my Sizzix Block Party alphabet and a happy birthday peel off.

Just Bex Alternative Xmas Challenge

This card I used Doodlebug red grid paper on the bottom of the card and finished with red card across the top. I then added a Papernation robin onto a white circle which was mounted onto a red scalloped circle. I added a greeting mounted onto white and red card and punched out 2 hollies and added red stickles for the berries.

Just Bex Alternative Xmas Challenge

My third card I covered the left hand side with pink check Doodlebug paper and added a strip of pink card to cover the edge. I then mounted a Christmas cat embellishment onto a white circle and pink scalloped circle. I added liquid pearls to each of the scallops and finished off with a peel-off greeting coloured pink.
