Mini Christmas Cards

Here's what I've been on with this morning...

A little box with 10x10cm cards inside :)
I used some Elzybells reindeer stamps I bought ages ago in their closing down sale, coloured with promarkers.

I'm entering this into the Make it Monday linky party :)

Me to You 21st Birthday

I was asked to make a Tatty Teddy card for a 21st birthday so here it is :)
As usual there is plenty of glare from the mirri card lol.

Boofle Christmas

I was up early this morning so I decided to do something useful and make another Christmas card (well it was too early to hoover!)

Boofle is so cute :) The topper and the backing paper is from the Boofle ultimate Christmas pack so I have plenty more bits and pieces to play with :)

I'm adding this card to the Make it Monday linky party :)

Gem Tree Card

Here's a card I made today using an image from Pink Petticoat. I stuck all the gems on a few days ago so it was a really quick card to make up this afternoon.

Thanks for visiting :)

Fizzy Moon Christmas

Another Christmas card today, this time I've used a Fizzy Moon decoupage and paper pad.
Pink is my favourite colour so I love the 'For Her' pad :)
The card blank is another 8 x 8 inch one and tomorrow I will make a box for it to go in.

I'm adding my card to the Make it Monday linky party. I've had lots of lovely comments on my cards after putting them on there and I'm thankful for every one. I've also found many blogs to follow from there too.

I seem to be on a roll with Christmas cards, maybe I have caught a very early whiff of Christmas cheer??

The photo doesn't really do justice to this glitter card, it's much nicer in person. This is the first of a few 8 x 8 inch Christmas cards I'll be posting in the next week or so as I've been asked to make some for friends of my OH :D

Gorjuss Christmas

Here's my second card of the day and it's another Christmas one, this time using a Gorjuss die cut topper :)

I still haven't grasped the art of taking a photo of mirri card, I didn't have the flash on but there's still glare!

I'm adding this one to the Make it Monday linky party in the the hopes I gain some more followers :D

Christmas is coming!

Today I thought I'd make a Christmas card in non-traditional colours, it's nice to have a change!

Very simple layout and it didn't take too long to make up - I might have to make a few more in different colours to post out to friends and family this Christmas.

Baby Card

I made this card to put in my 'Handy Card Box' - I like having cards for all occasions on hand so I don't have to make something in a rush. Granted I get plenty of notice if there's a baby on the way but you never know do you!

The image is from Pink Petticoat, I coloured it to match the paper which is from a Forever Friends paper pack :)

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Creatalicious Challenges - Baby Theme
Unique Crafters Challenge - Anything goes

Forever Friends Christmas

Another 8x8 inch Christmas card (excuse the photo - it's not very good!)
Both the decoupage image and the patterned paper are Forever Friends, another thing I've had stashed for a while and not used!

Party Sheep :)

I decided over the weekend that I really should start trying to use all the rubber stamps I have in my stash instead of leaving them to gather dust! So yesterday I sat down and stamped some images, coloured one and made this card :)

I kept the colouring and the layout really simple so it was pretty quick to make - ideal for last minute birthday cards :)

Tatty Teddy Birthday

A friend asked me to make a card for her little cousins birthday and this is what I came up with.

I took the photo on my BlackBerry and for some reason there's lots of glare coming off the mirri card (even though the flash was turned off). I should really get the camera out to take photos lol.

Let it snow

Although this isn't the first Christmas card I've made this year, it's the first one I've gotten around to posting!
The card blank is pretty big at 8x8 inches, I bought a pack of them a while ago but this is the first time I've used them. It's quite nice having such a big area to work with so I'll be using them again soon :)

Things with wings

I made this card for the things with wings challenge at Catch The Bug.
The cute butterfly bear I used can be found here, I coloured him with Promarkers and used a little bit of Glamour Dust to sparkle him up :)

If I were a zombie....

I made this card for the challenge over at Beyond The Burtonesque Dolls
The theme is 'If I were a zombie...I'd eat you most!' I've never made a lovey-dovey card featuring a zombie before but I did enjoy it! I chose this cute Skelekinz image from Bugaboo Stamps (the image can be found here) The flash on my camera has made the silver spider web card look a little bit gold but the on the photo I took without the flash you couldn't see what the peel off letters spelled out! Must be my poor photo skills :)

Hot Diggity Dog

Two posts in one day, doing well so far :)

Here's a card I made using Hot Diggity Dog die cut toppers, I love this cute cupcake image :)

The toppers were really good value as the sheets only cost 99p and have 7 or 8 images on them, I love a bargain. The backing paper is from the matching a5 paper pack and I made the flowers using a punch and gems.

Tatty Teddy cards

It's been quite a long time since I made a post here!
I haven't been making many cards as most of my stuff has been packed away whilst I redecorated my craft room but now my new space is up and running and is looking great (it's kitted out in black, white and pink). I'll have to take some photos to post sometime :)

On to my efforts this passed week, this is an anniversary card that my sister asked me to make. She never gives me any idea of what she wants but I know she likes Tatty Teddy so this went down a treat.

I also made a couple of other cards using these Tatty Teddy toppers to put in my card box, I've left them blank inside so I can personalize them when I come to use them.
