Makey Bakey Mice Holly Jolly Christmas

Hello bloggers I hope you all had a lovely day yesterday, I spent the day at the allotment which was lovely.  Today's card is another card using the amazing Makey Bakey Mice stamps from Crafter's Companion.

This card began as a white A5 card blank.  First I cut down to size and adhered some polka dot backing paper that I printed off the Makey Bakey Mice CD-ROM.  Next I stamped the topper onto some white card stock using black soot distress ink and Crafter's Companion 'makey bakey mice holly jolly Christmas' stamp set.  I then coloured the image using ProMarkers.  It was then die cut using Spellbinders 'hexagons' die set.  After die cutting I inked the edges with a ProMarker.  Next I used some white card stock to die cut the snowflake using Spellbinders 'snowflake pendant 2010' die set.  Once die cut I stamped the 'deck the halls' sentiment into the center of the snowflake using black soot distress ink.  Next I die cut the holly embellishments using some green card stock and Spellbinders 'holly motifs' die set.  Once these were die cut I inked them with pine needles distress ink as I didn't have the correct shade of green card stock.   The holly corners were adhered to three corners of the card. Finally I stamped the sentiment onto white card stock using black soot distress ink.  It was then die cut using Spellbinders 'back to basic tags' die set.  I inked the edges with a ProMarker.  The four leafed holly embellishment was added to the tag with a metal snowflake brad.  The tag was then adhered to the card.

Incredible Hulk ~ acetate birthday card

Hello bloggers well it rained on and off yesterday so I ended up cutting and popping out different types of decoupage all day as well as making a lovely chilli and spaghetti bolognaise.

So onto today's card yes you have guessed it a decoupage invertage card and something different too its made of acetate.

This card began as an A4 sheet of green acetate that I cut in half width ways and score to make a card.  Next I popped out the Marvel 'incredible hulk' decoupage.  I filed down the locking pips and then assembled it using foam tape.  The completed decoupage invertage was then adhered to the top of the card.  Inside I added a single image of the same picture to cover the back of my decoupage invertage to hide the adhesive.  Next on the computer I typed up my sentiment as there was not one that went with it.  After printing it out I die cut it using Spellbinders 'hexagons' die set.  Whilst still in the die I coloured through the die with a lime green Promarker.  Once removed from the die I inked the edges with a red ProMarkers to make it all bend with the topper.  Inside I added another hexagon with the word POW! on it to hide the adhesive from the front sentiment.  I coloured this the same as the sentiment on the front.

Celebration

Hello bloggers today's card is a celebration one which could be used for a silver anniversary.

This card began as a 6x6 white hammered card blank.  I embossed the front using Creative Expressions 'flourish' embossing folder.  Next I added some blue satin ribbon down the right hand side.  I then made a bow by folding the ribbon and wrapping another piece around it. This was then adhered to the ribbon strip. I  got my sentiment from my stash and used a corner rounder to round the corners.  I then sanded all the edges with sand paper.  A mat was cut from some patterned paper and the sentiment was added to this and then it was all adhered to the card.  Using the same patterned paper I die cut a mat using Spellbinders 'hexagons' die set.  With the next die down in the set I die cut another hexagon using some white cardstock.  Once die cut I stamped the drinking glasses images using DoCrafts silver ink pad and DoCrafts 'pickles and onion' stamp set.  The topper and mat were adhered together and attached to the card.  finally a fau8x gem was adhered to the center of the ribbon bow.
