MO MANNING SPREADING THE JOY CARD

Sad night for me! I'm sat here on my own! My boy is at camp with the Air Cadets, my husband is out playing pool, daughter out with her friends, and I've got a very poorly cat! :-(
So I thought I'd share a card with my blogger friends!
This is one I've made for a work colleague for her Mum. She loves lilacs so they were the colours I chose to colour in my little Mo Manning image. I love this cutie! The paper is from Raspberry Road (had a bit of a spending spree in their sale at the weekend!) and I've layered it up with some lilac glittery paper and white card. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the ribbon and gems from my stash.
I'm entering this is in Mo's Digital Challenge "Lovely Layers".
Off work now until next wednesday, which is a good job because I've been asked to make another 6 cards, all for next week!

KISSING REINDEER CHRISTMAS CARD

Last but not least! My third card to share with you as guest designer for Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge "For a couple".
For this one, I chose another stamp from Digi Stamp Boutique which I thought was perfect for a couple. Coloured in with Promarkers and layered on gold mirri card, and added to a base card which I've made by layering up some Papermania "Mistletoe Kisses" papers on red card. I've used some red trim from my stash, and finished off with a few matching flowers to which I've added some gold Stickles.
That's it from me (for now!). Please join in the fun! I look forward to seeing your creations.

CUDDLY BEARS CHRISTMAS CARD

This is my second card as guest designer for Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas challenge "For a couple". This time I've used a digistamp from Digi Stamp Boutique which I've coloured with Promarkers and highlighted with a little glitter. I've made a square base card, and cut the front in half, layered up some papers from Papermania "Mistletoe Kisses" onto gold mirri card, then matted and layered the image and attached some ribbon to hang the sentiment from. With some buttons to embellish. Simples!

GINGERBREAD COUPLE CHRISTMAS CARD

Good morning all! I've been very lucky to be chosen as guest designer for Crafty Hazel Nuts Christmas challenge this week, and the theme is "For a couple". I've made three cards to share with you.
 First up is my little Gingerbread couple. I've made this using some freebie papers from Polka Doodles "The Sundae of Seasons" collection. I've used Glossy Accents on the heart to make it stand out, and added some red ribbon and a bow.
Hope you like it....and join in the fun!

SIMPLE WHITE CHRISTMAS CARD

This is a card I've made following the sketch over at Freshly made sketches :

I decided on an all white card....you can't get more clean and simple than that can you?! Lol! So, I made a base card with white pearlescent card, added a layer of dotty embossed paper, a strip of pearlescent card, and some snowflakes cut on my Cricut. I've embellished these with gems...have to have a bit of sparkle for Christmas! Finished off with a sentiment tag from my stash. I love it!
Entering this in the challenge...fingers crossed!

MY FIRST MAGNOLIA TILDA CARD

I've finally plucked up the courage to share this card, it's taken me a while as it's my very first attempt at colouring a Tilda! I'm not a huge fan but thought I'd have a go. This one is from the Turning Leaves collection. I've coloured her in with Promarkers, and as Autumn always makes me want to snuggle up with a good book (and my good man!) , I made a bookmark too! The base card is a criss-cross design, but I've curved the edges for a change. I've used papers from Raspberry Road "Faith Hope Joy" collection, which I love. I've used a Marianne Designs swirly die-cut ( from "dies to die for" ) and embellished with flowers which are mostly from WOC, plus a few from my flower mountain! I've added a little pink lace and some lovely rose cameos which I found on ebay. The insert card is simply a piece of the paper layered onto some card, with a lace handle.
Not bad for a first go!
I'm entering this in Dies to die for challenge "Anything goes".
Time for me to go get snuggly with my book (the man is out!) lol
