Holly Berries Christmas Tree

Hello bloggers I hope you had a good day yesterday.  Today's card is a Christmas card.

This card began as an A4 sheet of white card stock that I cut and scored to make a 5" square card blank.  Next I added a green polka dot paper from English tea party collection paper pack to the front of the card.  The holly and berries were stamped using black soot distress ink and Stamping With Dimension 'Christmas trees' Stamp Set onto white card stock.  Once stamped I used pine needles and festive berries distress inks and a water brush to colour in the leaves and berries.  I then used a green pencil to colour the stem.  The Christmas tree was stamped using iced spruced distress and the same stamp set as above.

The sentiment was stamped onto white card stock using the same stamp set as above and festive berries distress ink.  It was then die cut with Spellbinders die d-lites 'frame two' die set.  Once cut I inked through the die.  I then removed the die and cut of the outer edge of the frame.  The sentiment was then adhered to the card.  Finally the completed topper was added to the card blank.

Seasons Greetings ~ Makey Bakey Mice Christmas

Hello bloggers I hope you had a good day yesterday and are keeping well.  Today I am back to Christmas cards with the Makey Bakey Mice.

This card began as an A4 white card blank.  Using a patterned paper from English tea party collection paper pack, I added the paper to the front of the card.  Next using Crafter's Companion 'makey bakey mice Christmas' CD-ROM I printed off the topper.  This was then cut out and adhered to the top of the card.

The sentiment  and holly were printed using Polka Doodles 'paper boutique volume II creative Christmas' CD-ROM.  Once printed I cut out the holly piece and layered them up.  On the berries on the top holly I added glossy accents.   The sentiment was cut out and a corner rounder was used on the corner.   Finally I added the holly and sentiment to the bottom of the card.

A Frumptious Treat ~ Girl With Cup Cake

Hello bloggers I hope you are well and ready for the weekend.  Today I have a cupcake card.

This card began as a white 8x8 card blank that I cut down to make a 7x8  card blank.  Next I adhered the cupcake patterned paper from the English tea party collection paper pack to the front of the card.  The topper I printed out a while ago from a CD-ROM but I can't remember which one.  The topper was coloured with ProMarkers and then I cut it out.  The faux ribbon strips were cut out as they were originally part of the topper.  I inked along the dotted lines with a pink ProMarker.  The faux ribbon was adhered to the right hand side of the card.  Finally the sentiment was printed from the Serif Roald Dahl digikits collection 1 Charlie and the Chocolate factory.  I matted it with some pink floral paper before adhering it to the bottom right corner of the card.

Take Time To Smell The Flowers ~ Bear And Flower Brads

Hello bloggers I hope that you had a good start to the week.  Today I have a card with a sentiment that really rings true, with the busy lives we all lead it is a good idea to take time out to smell the flowers and appreciate nature every once in a while.

This card began as a 6x6 white card blank.  First I cut a mat for the front of the card using a green rose patterned paper from the 'English tea party collection' paper pack.  Next I used a topper from my stash that I stamped when I went to a stamping club so I don't know the name of the design.  This was coloured with ProMarkers.  I inked the edges of the topper with a ProMarker.  The topper was adhered to the top of the card at a jointy angle.

The sentiment I printed off in pink ink using a word document.  I then inked the edges with a ProMarker.  The sentiment was then added to the bottom of the card with metal flower brads. Finally I adhere the rose patterned paper mat to the front of the card.

Hello bloggers I hope you had a good start to the weekend.  Today I have a keep calm card for you.

This card began as an A4 sheet of topsy turvy pink card stock that I cut and scored to make a 6x4 card blank.  Next using 'English tea party collection' paper pack I adhered a patterned paper to the front of the card leaving a slight border of the base card showing around the edge.  I then used Justrite 'just keep calm' stamp set, and black soot distress ink to stamp the frame around the teapot on the patterned paper.  I then added two tea cups using the same stamp set.  Above the frame the sentiment was stamped.  Finally in each corner I stamped a teapot.
