Sant Clause Is Coming To Town

Good Morming all!

It's Wednesday & some of you will be expecting to see a Dude Time Doodles card!

I'm afraid it's a week off for the Dude's & Dudette's 

so, I have another card to share with you instead!

The image is from The Crafty Pad Designs,

I used a red A6 card blank for the base.

To that I added a matt of red card which was embossed using a 

Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder  then matted onto a 

added a matt of green textured card then added a piece of ribbon 

before attaching to the base.

The layout is a sketch

 from My Time made Easy

The image, cute little Santa that he is, was coloured with Promarkers

I fussy cut around him then matted onto some green textured card,

then some silver mirror card. 

The corners were rounded with a corner punch.

I wrapped some silver & white fibres around then attached.

I then added a little ribbon bow & some Snowflakes which were cut with 

a Marianne Creatable die. The  sentiment was computer generated  

then matted & layered onto the green & silver card

I hope you like him!

Flower Fairy Birthday Card

Good evening all! I hope you're all well!

I made this card for my nieces birthday & I forgot to post it to my blog!

Before it disappears in to the ether I thought I'd let you have a little look at it!

The Flower Fairy image is from a die cut decoupage sheet.

Such a lovely image & my niece is into fairies in a big way!
It was also a refreshing change not to use promarkers! lol

The fab DP was part of a lovely candy I won as was the die cut oval!

 I think the layout was from my minds eye.

I only had one sheet of that paper so I know I had to make it work! lol!

The pink mat was punched along the bottom edge with a Martha Stewart border punch.

The fairy was a perfect fit for the oval & I distressed the edges with an inkpad.

The sentiment was computer generated, sorry I can't recall which font I used!

I added a homemade posh pin, a double bow & a few self adhesive pearls!

Thanks for looking, I do hope you like what you see!

Don't forget there are only a few days left to enter my Candy Draw!

It's time once again for another challenge at
The Crafty Pad!
Yay!

This week, Challenge #148 is Festive Cheer!

We want to see your projects with Red Green & Gold or Silver!

Here's my card!

I made a little rocker card!

I used the Snowman Mug image from The Crafty Pad Designs!

He's such a cheeky wee chappy & he also happens to be 

on special offer  for only 59p this week!!

The base card was made by cutting a circle using the x cut shape cutting system.

I then folded it in half to make the rocker section.

I cut a smaller circle from gold mirror card & trimmed it 

to make a panel which I centred on the base section.

Next I added some gold & red self adhesive ribbon from Papermania.

I coloured the image with my trusty promarkers then added some 

Woodware Fluffy stuff to the hat & the froth on top of the mug!

I fussy cut round the image & then added it to a matt of the gold card which was cut with a scalloped circle nestie. This was matted onto another circle which was cut with a Nellie Snellen die.

To finish the card I added a die cut greeting & a bow made from a selection of Funky Fibres!

Thanks so much for stopping by & don't forget to head on over to 

the Challenge Blog for some more inspiration from the lovely & oh so talented DT ladies!
