Delightful Challenges, Bundle Up!

The Challenge at Delightful Challenges this week is Bundle Up!, Winter Theme! And we're sponsered by The Robins Nest!

I got to play with the brilliant, Pickles the Penguin!



I used papers from Krafty Christmas, layered on red card, cutting the snowflake paper on my cameo. I used my cameo to cut pickles as well, before colouring him with my promarkers and added some twine and a few gems as a finishing touch. (shocking for me I know! lol)

Delightful Challenges, Twinkle, Twinkle!

The Challenge at Delightful Challenges this week is Twinkle, Twinkle, (add something sparkly)! And we're sponsered by Scrappy Land!

I got to play with the brilliant, Stocking Cat! And a sentiment from the Christmas Hugs!



I used papers a forever friends stack I got in papercraft essentials magazine a year or two ago - trying to dig into some of my olders papers too! lol! Layered it up on a red card base and coloured stocking cat with my promarkers. I added glitter glue (unfortunately a bit hard to see in the picture!) and gems for sparkle and a bit of twine for added interest.

Studly Christmas

I made this card for a friend of mine, one of the xmas pressies I'm giving her, is a pair of stud earrings and I know she'll see the funny side of this!

I used Echo Park papers, from the Holly Jolly Christmas pack I got a couple of years ago and layered it on Stampin' Up real red card. The image was coloured with my promarkers, the sentiment computer generated and I added a few green gems and some glitter glue to give it a bit of sparkle!

And this is the inside!

A nice CAS card today, for the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches. I used a freebie stamp I got from Quick Cards magazine, (last year? the year before? ish? lol!) and coloured it with my promarkers. Cut a red base card, matted the image on green and added twine, a button and gems to finish it off.

Merry Christmas, Owls

After a crap few days with my gallbladder and idiot surgeons who want a 'second opinion' before they decide whether to remove it - don't even get me started - I decided a few hours of crafting was in order, to try and distract myself. It only half worked, but hey-ho!

This card uses an image from Little Miss Muffet coloured with my promarkers and a bit of glitter glue. The Paper is Dovecraft from the modern back to basics range. I embossed the white card with a cuttlebug embossing file and cut the sentiment with my silhouette, adding a few little gems to finish it off.

Happy Holidays, Chester

I just love this little guy - Chester from Pollycraft/Little Miss Muffet. He's been coloured with my Promarkers and I used some glitter glue on the icing to give it a bit of sparkle.

The papers are Dovecraft's back to basics, modern. I love the bold patterns from this pack! The sentiment was cut on my cameo and backed with another little bit of paper and I finished with a few little gems.

*waves*

Crafting a bit today, after two days of painting my neighbours bathroom - you wouldn't think a bathroom could take two days, but she'd had some problems with damp that made the whole process more awkward!

A quick CAS card today, with snowflakes! No snow here yet, but I'm hoping! And this weeks sketch from Retro Sketches seemed perfect for snowflakes!

The papers are dovecraft's back to basics modern pack. I cut some snowflakes on the papers, with my silhouette and stamped a couple - not sure where from - with stampin' up more mustard and memento tuxedo black. Icut the sentiment in red to match the base card and added some gems and (although it's hard to see on the image) some glitter glue to a couple of the flakes.

Pinecone Christmas

Two christmas cards and it didn't (quite) kill me!

A man's card this afternoon, there are a couple of men in my life this could work for, but I've a half mind, who it'll be for already.

I used Dovecraft paper, from the Back to Basics Modern pack. I love this paper, but this if the first time I've had to use it! The image is from The Digi Chick and I added the sentiment, coloured with my promarkers. I cut the wreath on my cameo and added a flower, with a little button brad and pearls (all of which a friend sent me for Christmas *last year*)

Light a Candle

Edit: OMG I just realised this is my 500th post on this blog! I should totally do something to celebrate... I shall have to ponder that!

Ugg, I feel so sick today. I just hope it's not the bug that's been going around, I no has time!

Still, I am in desperate need of getting some christmas cards done, so I decided I was going to do at least two today if it killed me - and it might, since it's already half past two and I've only managed one!

I used an image from Just Ink Lined, coloured with my promarkers and some glitter glue added, along with a computer generated sentiment. The papers are from the gorgeous gilded winter paper back from first edition and I distressed the edges and scrunched them up. I cut the swirls on my cameo, in more first edition paper and added lace, pearls and a couple of flowers to complete the look.

Delightful Challenges! Happy Holidays

I swear one of these days I will remember to schedule this post properly!

The Challenge at Delightful Challenges this week is Happy Holidays, a project for ANY holiday! And we're sponsered by The Cutting Cafe!

I got to play with the brilliant, Candy Cane Jingles! And a sentiment from the A Touch of Christmas, Sentiment Set!



Occasionally, I make a card I'm just really pleased with and this is one such card. I love Candy Cane Jingles, he's really adorable and super simple to colour with my promarkers and finished him with a little glitter glue on the band of his hat. The papers are Krafty Christmas from Dovecraft and I used some kraft card from my stash as well. The 'picture frame' was cut with my silhouette and I layered the sentiment under it on white card. And of course I had to add a couple of gems (it's the law! lol)

Digital Delights Challenges, Patterns!

The Challenge at Delightful Challenges this week is Patterns, (Use patterned paper)! And we're sponsered by Dies 'R Us!

I got to play with the brilliant, Up to no good, reindeer! And a sentiment from the Magical Winter Sentiments set!



I just love this image, he's a proper cheeky little chappy! I coloured him with my promarkers and decided on some papers from dovecraft, layered on red card for my 'patterns'. The star was cut on my silhouette and I finished up with a few little gems (shocking, right?)

Delightful Challenges, 3's NOT a Crowd

So late posting this today, but I've had horrible computer troubles and had to resort to wiping my HD. I've managed to install the 3 program I use most often, but 98% of my files are still on my External HD and ugg, working like this is impossible but I don't have time for anything else tonight. Also, I'd like to take a brief moment to thank my fellow DT members for their patience - there hasn't been a card from me for a couple of weeks due to some health issues, so glad to be back!

The Challenge at Delightful Challenges this week is 3's NOT a Crowd, (use 3 embellishments--brads, flowers, pearls, gems)! And we're sponsered by our own Digital Delights!

I got to play with the brilliant, Chimney Santa Set!



I used Dovecraft papers layered on stampin up card, coloured the image with my promarkers and added some twine. My three embellishments are of course gems, because as we should all know by now, I love adding gems to eveything! I couldn't decide between 'upside down' santa and 'right way up' santa, so I used both, one outside and one inside, as show below.

Delightful Challenges! What Did You Say?

The Challenge at Delightful Challenges this week is What Did You Say?, (add a sentiment)! And we're sponsered by Crafty Ribbons!

I got to play with the brilliant new, Holiday Flippity Felicia! And a sentiment from the Christmas Hugs Sentiment Set!



I cut a kraft card based and matted it with red card and papers from Dovecraft's Krafty Christmas paper pack (these may have accidentally fallen into my cart, with a different purchase I was making last week, at least, that's what I intend to say when I get asked why I needed more christmas papers! *innocent smile*). I coloured the lovely Flippity Felicia with my promarkers. The ovals, sentiment tab and 'pine leaves' were all cut on my cameo and i added the flowers from my stash. And look, no gems, a rare occasion indeed!
