La Pashe Hand Tied Lillies

Good morning lovely bloggers & friends!

Here is todays card

The image is Hand Tied Cala Lillies.

one of the range of Clear Polymer Stamps available at 

A perfect image for a sympathy card,wedding card, engagement

or perhaps even Easter.

I opted for a White On White layout & coloured the image

 with  a mix of Promarkers & Flexmarkers for a subtle look.

The ivory satin ribbon was left over from some wedding invitaions I made.

The embossed panels were done with cuttlebug embossing folder (I think)!

The image was stamped with Clear Versamark Ink

& then embossed with clear embossing powder.

Happy Camper

Good morning lovley peeps!

Today's card is made using a Just Inklined Image.

Camper is one of the fab images exclusive to the

The Best Of Just Inklined 2012 CD-Rom

I just love those wacky wheels!

The layout I have used is this weeks sketch at

Just Us Girls

This card is for a friend that I work with!

She's not a fancy & frilly kind of a gal so I decided

to use the camper digi & colour it in the colours of her own camper van!
We have lots of fun going out & about in it, in the summer months!

Not really the kind of colours I normally use but they suit her perfectly!

The image was coloured with Promarkers

The border is Marth Stewart Doily punch.

Ribbon, buttons & paper (possibly Do Crafts) from my stash!

The sentiment was done on my pc using a free font called

ActionIs It put me in mind of Scooby Doo & The Love Machine!

The image I have used is Garden Swing,

one of the new range of Clear Polymer Stamps

available from La Pashe

My base card is 8"x8" 

The papers I have used are from Papermania.

I added a couple of fishtails, a doily, some Card Candi & ribbon from my stash!

The lace under the ribbon was being hoarded for that special occasion!

I also used a border punch for a bit of added detail!

The image was coloured with my ususal mix of Flexmarker, Promarkers

I took great delight in deliberately colouring outside the lines on this one!

Winter Fence Robin

Good Moning lovely blog peeps!

I love the way all these little faces smile at me whenever I come to my blog!

It's a bit like having you all in my front room with me!

Anyhoo, enough of my nonsense!

Here is my Just Inklined card for today!

It's a Christmas Card!!!!!

I thought that since spring had finally sprung you might be just about 

able to cope with a little bit of snow! lol

My inspiration for this card sprang to mind when I saw a little Robin

on the bird feeder in my mum & dads garden! I couldn't get the song

When The Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbing Along 

out of my head! My grandad used to sing this to us all the time!

 

The image I have used is 'Winter Fence Robin'

This is one of the images which are exclusive to 

The Best Of Just Inklined 2012 CD-Rom

The image & sentiment were printed on Print Perfect, 

it's absolutely fantastic for stamping/printing  & colouring on! 

I made a White on White 6"x6" card, 

using Linen Embossed cardstock for everything else!

The image was coloured up with Promarkers, then some glittery accents

 added using Diamond Sparkles & my trusty quickie glue pen!

Then it was cut out with an oval nestie & matted onto a scallop oval.

The embossed panel was done with a Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder.

The snowflakes & flourishes were Marianne Creatables dies.

The Dewdrops were in my stash & the Faux Silk ribbon is from

Dainty Paperie I love that etsy shop!

The font I have used is  a free font called Noel

Thanks for popping in I hope you enjoyed your visit!

Arriba Arriba Mexico Phil & Horhay!

Good Morning lovely blog readers, I hope you're all well!

Here I am with a card for Just Inklined!

This fab image is Mexico Phil & Horhay  isn't it  fun?

Great for a blokes card is it not! The sentiment was made on my

PC using a free font called Arriba Arriba  a perfect match I thought!

The base card is  6"x6" Kraft cardstock. 

I wanted this card to have a rustic, Mexican farm feel to it!

The papers are K&Company Hopscotch Boy,

 one of my favourite stacks.

I've coloured the image using Promarkers & a flexmarker

to outline. I used the Promarker blender to give the dappled effect.

The layout was a sketch 

from Seems A Little Sketchy

I guess the shapes & colours caught my eye as that

was what I had in mind for this card!

I didn't add stitching but used twine around the outside to

give the effect. I also wrapped a bit of twine around my

rough cut photo corners!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed your visit!

Do Crafts Download Take 2

Good evening lovely blogging peeps!

Here's another little card I made using the 

Do Crafts Creativity Club, 

Members Exclusive,Free Tweet Tweet Download kit!

This kit has just been added to the club today!

This card took no time at all as I had already had the kit printed out 

& had a play with it! It was printed on to good quality plain paper.

I cut the tree out then layered up a couple of the flowers, 

(with those tiny little foam pads) not being too fussy about

 how they were placed to give more of a random look! 

I decided to put one of the little birds in the tree!

 The edges of the paper  were distressed using a pair of serrated scissors.

A side view so you can see the layered flowers!
This card can still be posted using a regular postage stamp.

Thanks for dropping in!

The club costs £24 for a year or £13.50 for 6 months.

There's a whole lot of free downloads, projects,

tips, Creativity TV & online magazines!
I'm going to put this card forward for a couple of challenges:
365 Cards - 20 Minutes or Less
Cards In Envy - Use Paper Strips Instead Of Ribbon
