Sundays With Santa - Recipe Card

Back to Christmas cards again! The way the weather is just now it feels like winter already!

This week on the Sundays With Santa Facebook Group the challenge was a recipe: (week 31) Snowflake + Ribbon + 3 buttons.
I've used Polly Penguin again from DigiStamp Boutique. You'll be seeing a lot of this cutie on here! lol

I've coloured her in with my ProMarkers. Not sure about the purple holly, but I was determined to stick to purple, pink and grey.
The snowflake is white card cut with a Marianne Creatable die, coloured with Promarkers and then covered with Glamour Dust (love that stuff!)

Sugar Nellie Summer

Happy Saturday everybody!


This is my entry for this weeks Sugar Nellie Facebook group challenge. This weeks challenge is Yellow/Orange- Summer Colours.
I realise its very similar to my last card, but I liked it sooo much I thought 'why not?' lol

I've used Sugar Nellie's Hippie Chick again and coloured her in with my ProMarkers. This is my 1st attempt at layering and blending different shades for her hair. I followed Debbi's Tutorial and I'm pretty happy with the way its turned out. Its a wee bit light so I'll try building up the colour a bit more next time.


This is also my 1st try of stamping on SU card. So far I think I like it. Theres certainly less bleeding when colouring in!
The DP are Papermania, not sure which collection. The crocheted lace is from KaiserCraft Devonshire Collection and everything else is from my stash.

Looks like I'm on a roll now! lol

This is my entry for this weeks Sugar Nellie Facebook group challenge. Isn't she gorgeous? She is called Hippy Chick. This weeks challenge is Funky Hair. I'm very proud of this one and hope you like it too

The photos make her hair and the backing paper look sort of blue, but IRL they're purple.
The image is coloured in with my ProMarkers. The papers are Kaisercraft La-Di-Da Collection. The 'lace' is made using a Martha Stewart punch and everything else is from my stash.

Christmas in July

Have you started your Christmas cards yet? I'm well on with mine thanks to a group I joined on Facebook back in January called Sundays With Santa. Every week there is a theme and you are encouraged to make a Christmas card using that theme. We are already on week 29, so by December I will have about 46 cards! There's no prize as such, but the satisfaction I will feel come November will be enough. I must confess though I've only completed 19 of the 29 weeks, but am determined to play catch up over the next couple of weeks!

Here is the card I have made for week 26 - Animals. Hopefully penguins can be classed as animals? The digi stamp was June's freebie from DigiStamp Boutique

I've coloured her in with my ProMarkers and added some Glamour Dust on the snow.

I am also entering this in the following challenges:
Passion for ProMarkers - animal crackers
DigiStamp Boutique - July customer competition
Sketch N Stash - sketch and stash (green ribbon & snowflake peeloffs I've had for years!)

My 1st Sugar Nellie

Wow! I can't believe its been over a year since I posted on here! Where does the time go???

Well life's had its ups and downs but I have still been making cards in between :D

Here is my latest creation using my 1st Sugar Nellie stamp. Isn't she gorgeous? She is called 5th Avenue from the Simply Sassy collection.

As you may know blue is not usually my thing, but it is this weeks challenge on the Sugar Nellie Facebook group and I thought I'd give it a go. I hope you like it?!




The photos have come out a bit dark so I might try to take better ones later. The image is coloured in with my ProMarkers. The papers are free printables, but I can't find where I downloaded them from sorry. The 'lace' is made using a Fiskars border punch and everything else is from my stash.

Summer Fun

Wow! I can't believe its been over 6 weeks since I last posted to my blog! Where does the time go???

Well I finally got around to making some more cards and I'm very pleased with them.

Isn't she cute? I'm not sure about her hair colour. It was my 1st attempt at blond and its a bit more like strawberry blond perhaps??? The colours are much brighter in real life especially the green, its really a bright lime.

The image is another FREE digistamp from Sliekje Digi Stamps coloured in with my Promarkers and the papers are from My Minds Eye and are FREE in the current issue of Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine. The layout is also from the same magazine. I hope you like it!
