Teachers Xmas cards

3 extremely quick cards, as Oli decided tonight he really wanted to send a handmade card to his teachers. I decided to do them the same just in case they opened them together and didnt want one of them thinking that one was better than the other( I know I probably worry too much but anyway).



Papers are from Craft House - Plum Pudding range, Forever Friends Stickers, Dovecraft ribbon & HOTP brads. Sentiments are computer generated. The white cardstock that the stickers have been put on has been chalked in yellow to take the brightness away and match in with the papers better.

Great-Grandaughter

As its her very first christmas my mum wanted me to make a special for for them to give to little Tallie. I used the same image on this card as I did with Abbies as I think it really suits a younger child or baby.

Papers are Craft House winter wonderland, Image is Rachael Ann Miller, snowflake from a Hobbycraft punch, brad was in my PIF candy from Caroline, bow and rose from stash & charm from Ebay.

Secret Crafter Challenge

This is the second card that I have combined a challenge with, this time it is following the fab sketch over at the Secret Crafter challange. I have made the card for my beautiful little girl. The image was very kindly given to me by a blogging friend after I commented on how fab the image was. I really think its the perfect image to use on a baby's or young childs card.

The image I am not sure of, papers are Craft House Winter Wonderland, Core'dinations cardstock & papermania heart brads.

Penny Black Challenge

This is the second card I have made this afternoon and it is for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge. The theme this week is Monocromatic, you could either go for the monocrome look or use different shades of the same colour. I have opted for black and cream, as I have this lovely little pack of papers that were asking to be used. I have also used my lovely Ginger stamp again, as I thought she would suit perfectly.



Papers are Craft House Allsorts collection, image is Penny Black Ginger coloured with whispers brushmarkers and buttons are from stash.

Cheeky Monkey

I made this card for a friend of mine for her daughters friend (are you still with me). Anyway she always gives me an idea of what the person is into for every card I make for her. (she wont actually by one from a shop anymore and gives me 3 month list for me to work to). Clemence the little girl apparently loves monkeys, and I thought OMG where am I gonna get a nice image from. Then I remembered some kids decoupage we had in the shop ages ago from Craft House called Jungle Party. Well went down to the shop and looked through the decoupage sheets and eventually (we have lots & lots of decoupage) found 1 sheet. This is what I came up with.

Papers are Papermania spring colosal pack, Craft House Decoupage,Core'dinations cardstock, Dovecraft ribbon, flowers from stash. Sentiment was computer generated.

Whif of Joy

These two cards were yet again made from images I received in an image swap. I have been so lucky and have received some fantastic images just lately. I fell in love with stamp when I saw it on Katharina's blog and was so thrilled when i received them images I didnt want to use them in case I spoiled it.

The papers used on these cards were from Craft House in the Plum Pudding Collection, Dovecraft brad and Organza Ribbon, the flowers were from a bunch of daisys i got at a bargin price of £1 (you wouldnt believe how many blooms I got just out of that 1 bunch.

Anniversay Card

I made this card the other day for my grandparents. It was a quick card as I forgot and had to make one quickly in the morning as my mom was going over to see them in the afternoon. However I just love the image of the two mice, again I have no idea who is the stamp is as I received it in an image swap. The papers however are from Basic Grey this collection is called Urban Prairie and it is SOOOOOOO gorgeous, I want everything in it brads, rub ons, chipboards etc. but am a bit skint at the mo, so might have to ask Santa for them.

More Christmas Cards

Well sorry for not posting yesterday, but I blame all you. I spent so long yesterday looking at other peoples lovely blogs,(see list) I didnt make any cards to update my own blog with, until 12pm last night, then was to tired to publish to the blog. So here are the 2 quick cards I made last night.

The papers are from Craft House and are the WinterWonderland Collection. The images were received from a friend so I have no idea who they are, but I think they are lovely images for a young girls card.For this reason I chose the paper pack with its lovely pastel colour scheme. The Circle Message is one of my own designs, which hopefully will soon be turned into a stamp (watch this space!!).
