Toy Soldier Twisted Easel Card

Good Morning all!

I have a card to share with you today!

This is one for the boys, my great nephews to be exact!

I was just looking over the last of my Christmas cards & thinking I'm

definitely going to be more organised next year!

Lol Watch this space!

Once again, I have used Toy Soldier from the Christmas Box cd rom

by La Pashe. There's so much on there, you could have 

Christmas sorted in no time!

Here's the soldier! Isn't he fab?

A little side view to let you see the fold.

The papers I've used are  by Papermania. 

The greeting/stop was left over from another project.

 I just couldn't resist adding a red satin ribbon bow to finish it off!

Thanks for stopping by today, have a great day!

Working With Sketches

Good morning bloggers, we're nearly there!

Are you ready yet?

It's time for my DT Project for this month's challenge at 

The Crafting Cafe, where the theme is

Working With Sketches

Here's a little Christmas tag I made using Sketch No. 4

I think it looks a little bit like a Christmas Bauble!

I was going to share some of the others I had made with you but 

the light is appalling & I need to get my wrapping up sorted so

I'm afraid must get on with it!

To make this little tag., I cut a the base circle from some corrugated 

cardstock using a nestie. I added a strip of Washi tape (I love that stuff),

then glued on some Poinsettia confetti using Pinflair Glue.

(I did try a quickie glue pen initially but it didn't want to stick).

I added some curling ribbon, & a plain white panel on the reverse,

to write my message on.

If you haven't entered the challenge yet & you're wrapping presents

 & making tags,why not try using the sketches for your inspiration,

take a little photo & link up to the challenge here!

The challenge is open until the 31st December.

Hope to see your entries soon!

Snowman Buddy Easel

Good morning all! 

I can't believe it's Thursday already!

Time to share another Just Inklined card with you!

A more or less white on white creation!

I have to say, this little guy has featured on many of my cards this year.

He's called Snowman Buddy & he's really just soo adorable!

You can find more of his snow-buddies here!

I must once again apologise for the photos but the weather has been 

so dull lately it's been difficult to get the light right!

The card is made using white pearlescent card-stock.

A little close up of the image, coloured with promarkers,

cut out with a nestie & glittered around the edges!

I added an embossed line around the edges of the card.

Used little rounds of card which were embossed with cuttlebug swiss dots & 

snowflake folders then glittered around the edges for

 matting & layering. The fibres & the little bell are from my stash.

A little side view to show the fold.

Thanks for popping in! I hope you like my little card.

Toy Soldier Card

Good morning all!

I'm so glad the weekend is here!

As it's Saturday, I have a La Pashe creation to share with you!

This is a single layer card that I made to send overseas.

I used one of  the Toy Soldier elements from 

the Christmas Box CD Rom.

I wanted to keep it as light as possible as I always include a letter.

I made up the card front in my graphics programme,

added a bit of Washi Tape & touched up with some Sakura 

glitter & glaze pens.

Truly simple & quick as a flash, so if you still have those last minute cards 

to get done, look no further.

There are also the download sheets if you want something more!

Thanks for popping by!

How are you all, well I hope? 

Can you believe it's Thursday already!

That means it's time for my Just Inklined post!

Here's today's little creation!

If you visit my blog regularly, you'll have probably seen this adorable

little image already! He's called 

 Snowman Buddy

I think he's just the cutest little snowman around!

Here's a closer look!

He's printed onto pearlescent card, then cut out with a nestie,

coloured up with promarkers & then glittered around the edges.

The base is 6"x6" made from pearlescent CS too.

I embossed a couple of tram lines around the edges.

Then I added a couple of DP's from the First Edition Christmas Village stack.

The Merry Christmas paper has an embossed finish to it.

I added some snowflakes which were punched with an X-Cut palm punch

then glittered & a little faux silk ribbon double bow.

Thanks for popping in!

Anything But A Card

Good morning lovely readers!

It's time for a new challenge at Crafting For All Seasons.

The theme this time is

#67 Anything But A Card.

I've decorated a candle. I used an image from our sponsor

Robyn's Fetish he's called Carl The Snowman cute huh!

I printed the image onto some tissue paper, coloured it with Flexmarkers

then cut around it & placed it on the candle. I then wrapped a length

of greaseproof paper around it & heated with my heat gun, starting at

the edges & working my way into the middle until the tissue paper was

covered with a layer of wax.

I then added some Washi Tape, silver peel off star borders & stars from 

my stash. I've had them for years & years! 

I made a little base from some card decorated with Washi Tape,then placed in a bag

which I closed together with more tape. I also added a little gift tag.

Here's a closer look at the candle without it's packaging.

Thanks for looking & I hope you can join us for the

Anything But A Card challenge this time!

If you do have to go out, please stay safe!

A quick post from me today as I share my second 

Just Inklined make of the week with you!

I've decorated a candle & made a little card to match.

The image I used is Santas Tipple!

One of the nicest Santa images around & just one of the many 

Christmas digital stamps over at Just Inklined!

Printed on to tissue,I coloured him up with flexmarkers then

added to the candle. A little bit of Washi tape & some ribbon

& hey presto! The card was quick & simple.

With just some washi tape to embellish.
