Warm Wishes

 


The sketch from Jingle Belles immediately caught my eye this week and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.

I cut the circle and hexagon on my cameo, on kraft card and papers from hobbycraft, but the cup is fussy cut from stampin up's perfect blend set. I used white base, kraft card over the cup parts and a spare scrap of paper for the sleeve. The sentiment was from a Marianne Design set I got in a magazine a million years ago.

This is probably the first time in ages I've made a card without using my promarkers or without... adding gems! *gasp* - I honestly planned too, but I thought it didn't really need them.

Challenges: 
Jingle Belles - Merry Sketchmas
Crafty Catz - Anything Goes w/optional twist 'Getting Ready For Christmas'

    That is the perfect combination of patterns and a beautiful version of the sketch; plus COFFEE CARDS are ALWAYS a great idea, imo! So please you could join our Jingle Belles fun this fortnight!

Have A Great Day

How cute is this wee pupper from digi doodle shop. I've had him cut out waiting for me to decide what to do with him for aaaaages! I finally coloured him with my promarkers and decided on this side stepper card. The various elements were cut on my cameo. The paper is from the Nit Wit Paws-ativity collection. I stamped and cut the sentiment by hand and added it to the tree with a bit of twine, to make it look kinda like a swing (and it does swing, side to side at least, lol).

On Your Special Day, Sister

My sister's birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I've been trying for days to make my brain work to make her card and finally I succeeded.  She's also asked for me to make her a dream catcher, so that's going to be a new adventure to try making one as I never have... oh well that's why youtube exists right?  I used an image from Sassy Studio Designs, coloured with my trusty promarkers. The papers came from Jen Hadfield's Pebbles pack layered on brown card. The sentiment/sister was hand stamped, unfortunately I have no idea where it came from! A die cut heart that's been loitering in my draw since goodness knows when and a few gems to finish it off. Challenges: - Colour Crazy Craft Challenge #18: Anything Goes with colouring - Cardz 4 Galz #121: Birthday Thanks for visiting!

Baubles and Bells

So as my ankle proceed to get more painful not less, I went to A&E. After some blood tests and x-ray and a lot of socially distanced sitting around, the doctor ruled out everything else, so agrees with me that it's probably the tendons, but other than to continue with painkillers the only 'cure' is physio... which, is problematic at the moment for obvious reasons. Oh well, we'll see. It is making sitting in my craft room awkward because I'm supposed to keep my foot elevated as much as possible - but I did manage to get my craft on today. If with a small amount of pain. Ah well, art is pain, right? I went with one of my non-traditional paper packs, from hobbycraft. Teal shades are some of my favourites! I coloured the stamps from bugaboo with my promarkers - there is another from the set, a snowflake, which is inside the card, but I forgot to take a picture of that, oops! The frames were cut on my cameo and of course, I couldn't resist the gems... although I ...
