Rocking Christmas

Seeing as I bought this DigiStamp Boutique image a few weeks ago and have only used it so far on a tag I thought I'd get it out again and make a proper card.  I also wanted to try a rocker card again.
I will enter the card into this weeks I love Promarkers (anything but a square) challenge.

A Christmas card for 2013!

Well, better to make a start now while I am in the mood. (Also I wanted to use this DigiStamp Boutique image again).  I will enter the card into this weeks ABC Christmas (Z is for zoo animals- you can get owls in zoos in the UK) challenge.

Engagement!

My friend text me on Boxing Day to say that she had just got engaged!!!  That called for a card:

Happy Birthday

Another birthday card- this time for my Dad.  I have used a Winston DigiStamp Boutique image again, along with this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch.  I will also enter the card into this weeks Cute Card Thursday (anything goes) and Passion for Promarkers ('happy' birthday) challenges.

Happy 30th!

I have been meaning to make a 30th birthday card for my brother for a while.  His birthday isn't until May, but I have to make it before I go away in 7 days time!
I will enter this card into this weeks Passion for Promarkers ('happy' birthday) challenge.  The image is from Digistamp Boutique.

Thankyous

I received some fab flower stamps from Clare for Christmas and couldn't wait to get them out and use them. They are perfect for this time of year and thankyou cards I think (although I think they would also be perfect for a lot of different occasions).  Taking inspiration from Clare- the colours and design of some of her projects- I came up with these cards:

 I will enter these into this weeks MAWTT challenge (thanks) and Cute Card Thursday (anything goes).

I love these DigiStamp Boutique monster images.  I made this card with Clare's CMLI challenge in mind.

Woof!

I will enter the card into this weeks Willow Sketchie (sketch) challenge.

Happy Anniversary

This is the a card I made yesterday and finished off just now in a quiet moment for my Grandparent's 65th Wedding Anniversary.  I will enter it into this weeks Passion for Promarkers ('happy') and Willow Sketchie (sketch) challenges.

Happy Christmas!!!  Hope you are all having a lovely day.  Thanks for the wonderful Christmas cards I have received this year from fellow crafters.

Winston in Love

I just adore the DigiStamp Boutique Winston images.  Ok, I should have been spending my time making cards that I NEED rather than a valentines one which I will never use, but I just had to colour this image up and make him into a card...
I will enter this into this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday (sketch) challenge.

Thankyou

A thankyou card using a Pollycraft that I used this weekend for the first time (oops- how long have I had that unused for?? too long!).
I will enter this into this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday (sketch) challenge.

Daisy Chains

I could really do with making a few more birthday cards for the first few months of next year.  Having said that I seemed to have spent today making every other card except a birthday card... ho hum...  This is the only one I did make.  Again I have gone CAS.  I'm quite pleased with this one for a change.
I will enter this into this months Ready Teddy Go (CAS) challenge and this weeks Willow Sketchie challenge (theme: quick makes).

Christmas Tree

This is another stamped image which was given to me by Debs- thanks so much.  I was inspired to use it this weekend after receiving my Christmas card from her where she had used the image: it was such a amazingly stylish card!  I think I failed to live up to Deb's standard but this is my attempt:
I will enter it into this weeks ABC Christmas ('Y'our favourite die/punch: my oval nesties) and Willow Sketchie (theme: quick makes) challenges.

CAS FF card

I'm not much good at CAS cards but every now and again I like to have a go at making one.  This is using a Forever Friends image that I was given.  I will enter the card into this weeks ABC Christmas ('Y'our favourite die- my oval nesties) and Willow Sketchie (theme- quick makes) challenges and this months Ready Teddy Go challenge (CAS).

Betwinchies and Twinchie

The final lot of swap items I made for the Christmas CMLI swap.  This time 4 betwinchies and one twinchie.  I stamped onto shrink plastic, coloured with Promarkers and then shrunk down to size and mounted onto kraft card stock which I had stamped with a a snowflake in silver:

Stamp Inchies

Some more inchies!!  These I made by collaging together old Christmas postage stamps, then stamping and heat embossing a snowflake on top in gold:

Christmas Thankyou

A couple of weeks ago I made lots of inchies, betwinchies and one twinchie for the November/December swap on CMLI.  For one batch I had two inchies left over and so I decided to make some cards with them:
These are the inichies themselves:

I thought I had enough Christmas tags but after wrapping up a few presents I seem to have none left and so I have made a few more this weekend.  These two are using new DigiStamp Boutique images:
