Couple more Christmas cards...

Here are another 2 cards for the MSE Christmas cards for troops challenge. Both are using stamped images, neither stamped by me ;-) The papers are DCWV, coloured using Promarkers. The Christmas greetings are from Craftwork Cards.

Beautiful Tri-Shutter Card from Alison

This is the fantastic card Alison sent me for the August card swap over on Crafty Place. Isn't it stunning!!! I love the shape and the colour and the butterfly is so much more stunning in in flesh so to speak, I just take rubbish photos ;-)

Here's Alison's blog if you fancy seeing more of her work x

Thank you Alison and for the bits and bobs inside the card too!!!

Pollycraft Challenge 23 Furry Friends

I made this card using the fab Reindeer freebie image download here from the fab Pollycraft blog site, I love him and couldn't wait to use him on a card. I printed the image onto kraft paper and decorated the nose with red Stickles glitter glue. I printed the Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer song onto kraft paper again and used this behind the image. I used yet more kraft paper, some Daisy & Dandelion Christmas papers and a couple of buttons. Hope you like it x

I have already submitted this card for the challenge on MSE to make a card to be sent to British troops overseas so they have cards to send home. I made others for this challenge here so I hope it's ok submitting for this challenge too x

Christmas Cards for Troops...

These are the Christmas cards I have made for the MSE Challenge of making cards for Bristish troops. I have tried to keep the cards reasonably 'flat' so they would be easy to post. I've used papers by Daisy & Dandelion, DCWV and Dovecraft. The Forever Friends bear images were bought on ebay - I LOVE them, the cute reindeer (named Dave!) was a freebie image from Pollycrafts and the boy pulling the sleigh was a new stamp purchase this week from Funky Kits, isn't he cute!!! If I have time I may make one or two more.

This reindeer was printed onto kraft paper and I printed the Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer song onto kraft paper too. I used this gorgeous freebie font on Pink Peticoat.

Added some dots of Icicle Stickles to resemble snow falling on these two cards.

This one is quite a small card but I think the Santa bear is very cute x

Funky Fairys Challenge 31 - Wedding: Something Old, Something New

Here's my card for the Funky Fairys Wedding Card challenge. I have used some beautiful funky blue papers - Simply Swirly (backing paper) and Funky Meets Shabby Chic (for swirls and matting). The images are from Artisan Bee Crafty and coloured with Promarkers, I am loving these!!!

My something old: ribbon, been in my stash for AGES!
My something new: Promarker grey pens.

Hope you like it, thanks for looking xxx

Crafty Place August Tri-fold Card Swap

This is the card I made for this month's card swap over on Crafty Place. I made my tri-fold card blank which is actually an A4 sheet of card folded into quarters and the front piece is glued to form a pocket so the card has 3 moveable sides - does that make sense? The papers are DCWV Pocket Full of Posies. I added a stitched tag to the pocket, a couple of flowers and some buttons. Hope Ali likes it x

A couple of present makes...

This is a little image wallet I made for a special lady.

I made this card for the lovely flourgirl to say thank you for some beautiful things she made for me x
