Christmas Cards - Part 2

Here are some other Christmas Cards I made...

Ice Skating Snowman!

Hello again, and another snowman for you. This time he looks like he's auditioning for Dancing on Ice, lol! He's another stamp by Penny Black, coloured with copics and glamour dust. The papers are by Bo Bunny and Imaginisce, the charm is from Mad Cow Beads, the sentiment is Craftwork Cards layered onto a nestie.

Jolly Snowman!

Evening All!

I know, I know it's been far too long again! I've got so behind with all my posts that over the next week I'm aiming to catch up with them all. Please don't be too confused when you see me posting Christmas Cards! I'm certainly not that organised to be making them now for this Christmas, lol!

So here we are with the first one, a Penny Black snowman, just the kind you'd want in your back garden!

Christmas Kiss Puppy!

Hiya...

...and on with the second card I'm posting tonight. How adorable is this little puppy?! Just the cutest don't you think?! I took the day off work on Wednesday and went to my local Craft Club run by Invicta Craft Centre in Maidstone. It was the Christmas Party and they ran a Christmas card competition, I entered this card.....and got 3rd place, wahoo!! I was soooo chuffed and won a lovely prize of blank cards, papers and a "Special Friend" rubber stamp. What do you think?

Just sooooo cute! This stamp is by Penny Black and is called "Puppy Kiss". I coloured him with copic ciao markers and added Glamour Dust to his Santa hat trim and bobble and Glossy Accents to his nose. All dogs have wet noses after all, lol! I've also added some pearls as the mistletoe berries. The paper I've used is by Imaginisce Polar Expressions - Comfy Cozy and I've matted and layered this onto Core d'inations card. The snowflakes are punched using a Woodware punch and I've added a Papermania blue gem to centre of each one. The sentiment is by Craftwork Cards. I think I'm definitely going to have to buy some more of these papers for next year's cards, lol!

OK, it's nighty night time for me now but I'll be back tomorrow with some more cards for you.

Sweet dreams all...

Christmas Cat!

Evening All,

Well I've finally got all my Christmas cards made, written and ready to put in the post tomorrow, phew! I really must get more organised next year but to be fair I have been laid up ill a lot recently so have been unable to do anything! Anyway, I thought you'd like to see my creations. I've duplicated these cards several times which is cheating a little I suppose but time really has been against me! And even though the design is the same, I have hand made each one!

Here's the Christmas Cat card I've made, so cute to send to cat lovers! I'd be really pleased to receive this card.....hmmmm, I wonder if I could get my cats to pose in a Santa hat, lol!...

Very cute don't you think? But aren't all Penny Black images cute?!

This stamp is called "Santa Claws" which I coloured with copic ciao markers and added Glamour Dust to the trim and bobble (sorry you can't really see it in the photo but it really sparkles in real life!). The paper I used is by Imaginisce Polar Expressions - Flannel PJ's. I matted and layered it onto Doodlebug Sugar Coated card stock in Lily White and then onto Core d'inations card. The sentiment is by Craftwork Cards.

I love this paper and think I might have to order some more in preparation for next year, lol!

I have some more Christmas cards to post so on with the next card!

Special Christmas Card - Part 2!

Here we go with my final Christmas card, well for the moment anyway! This one I've made for my Mum, Dad and Brother aka The Hearnaby's! Another adorable stamp by Penny Black, just sooooooo cute!! I'm going to enter this card in the Penny Black Saturday Challenge Week 79 - Red & Gold, wish me luck!...

The paper I've used is My Mind's Eye Be Merry Frosty Flakes matted onto Gold mirri board and the Penny Black Snowball Fun stamp was coloured with Copic Ciao Markers. The gold ribbon (which I've tied like a Christmas present across the card) and the gold bow were from a Papermania set I got free from a mag and the Christmas sentiment is Craftwork Cards. I've added Glamour Dust as the snow to finish the card off. I know Ma, Pa and Bro will love it, we are a complete animal loving family so this stamp was perfect for them!

Ok, off to make some more cards, wahoo!

Lots of love,

The papers I used for this card were My Mind's Eye Colourful Christmas, as was the ribbon and the Magnolia Tilda and Edwin On Ice stamp was coloured with Copics.

I love this stamp - and the card! I'm entering it in the Just Magnolia Challenge Blog - It's Christmas!!!! challenge which is to make anything christmassy. I think this one fits the bill don't you?!

Jolly Nation Box Christmas Cards

Here's the next batch of cards I've made, Jolly Nation Box Cards. I made these for my Nephews and Niece. I wanted to make them something different and special, as they are very special to me and my Hubby. I gave them to the kids last night (we were on baby sitting duties, lol!) and they loved them! Maisy (who's only 3, aaawwwwww) wanted to put her card on the Christmas Tree! Archie (who's 7) has kept his card in his bedroom and Henry (who's 12) said it was the coolest card he's ever seen!! High praise indeed, what am I going to do next year?! Here's the cards...

This is Henry's card

This is Maisy's Card, she absolutely loves cats!

and this is Archie's card. I'm not sure for how much longer he will believe in Santa, he probably does when s big brother isn't around, lol!

On with the next post...

Hubby's Birthday Card

Hi!

Here I am again, this time with a very special birthday card I made for my Hubby Daemo! It's his birthday tomorrow so I'll let you know how he scores it (he always gives my cards a score out of 10!) We have two cats George & Millie, George is black and white and Millie is ginger and white so that's the two cats on the card, and the Tilda is me, not that I have long brown hair, lol, but you get the idea! I'm going to enter this card in the Just Magnolia Week 34 - Special Monthly Challenge which this month is to create a card for Someone Special, which of course he is to me, very special indeed! We've been together for nearly 10 years now (10 years in February) and married for 5 and a half years but unfortunately it really hasn't been plain sailing for us. I have a very rare blood disorder which has seen me in and out of hospital quite frequently over the past 10 years and then after just short of 3 years trying for a baby and IVF Treatments our son was still born when I was nine months pregnant with him, he would've been 2 at the end of this month so we really have had a tough time. But it's made us stronger than ever, and I know without any doubts that we will be together forever. After everything we've been through and survived there really isn't much left that can try us! So I wanted to make him a card to let him know just how much I love him, and the cats do too, lol! What do you think?

I'm really pleased with how this card has turned out, although I did struggle colouring in George's face. You can't really shade between black and white can you!

Card ingredients are:

Sentiment: Computer Generated by me!

Papers: S.E.I Ally's Wonderland Forget-Me-Dots and Imaginisce Perfectly Posh Fancy Hearts
