All Dressed Up

I have used the gorgeous All Dressed up for Christmas image from ADU

I coloured up the image with markers, sparkle pens & glamour dust

The  backing paper was embossed with Darice snowflake folder and pearls in colours to match the image were added to the centers. The snowflake was cut on the cameo & glittered with glamour dust.

Hop on over to the main challenge blog to see what my talented teamies came up with here

Christmas Wreath

 Hello everyone,

It's not like me to post at a weekend but I missed the start of the new challenge that started Thursday at 
Moving Along With The Times

With everyone's favourite theme 

Anything Christmas

I stamped flowers (Dreamees) onto vellum with versa mark and heat embossed in white. I the coloured on the back before cutting out to prevent them from curling up. 2 layers were glued together, shaped and glamour dust was added to the centers. 

The leaves (Chloe stamps) were stamped onto acetate with versa mark and heat embossed in silver then cut out.

The leaves were arranged onto the card in a wreath shape and the computer generated sentiment was added . The flowers and bow were then added and there you have it!

I was asked by a friend who was expecting a new grand child to make a card for her older Grandson to prevent him feeling left out. This is what I came up with

I sourced a picture of Fireman Sam  as the little boy who is 2 years old is a great fan

The flames were printed off  stretching them in height to fit the different sizes of the stepper card.

The sentiment was computer generated

I was quite pleased how it turned out as was Harry

Especially For You

Good Morning,

I recently brought a kit from The Hobby House, well actually 2, one for me and one for Alisha my Granddaughter. I thought we could sit and craft together but she was so thrilled she took it home.

Soooo........... I sat and had a play all by myself

I just love the image, such a cutie!

Everything except the glitter was from the kit. So easy when you need a quickie!

Bags of Wishes

Good Morning,

I thought I would share a card I made some time ago now using a cut file I designed on my Cameo

The papers were printed from a download from Sassy Designs called Bethany 

I colour picked the colour for the plain paper and used a white pen for the faux stitching

Have a good evening 

hugs

Good Morning,

I had a little play a while ago but never got round to posting the outcome.

The word 'hugs' was used as a mask, while in place distress inks and small stamp were used all over and around the word. Dahdah............... when the mask is removed the hugs pop. Sending was stamped above the image,  matted and layered onto black card and there you have it.

No Squares at DV

Good Morning,

Dream Valley

has a new challenge starting today, the theme is:

No squares 

with a fabby sponsor from whom there is a £10 voucher up for grabs

I chose to do a scalloped circle easel card which I cut on the cameo along with the mats and layers 

the papers are printed from the Dreamees CD. I shrunk the papers down to paper piece the dresses on the image, colouring the rest with markers, sparkle pen (over drinks) and glamour dust (on numbers) neither of which show in the picture, my photography is bad!
