Feeling Sketchy Blog Hop

Welcome to the Feeling Sketchy Design Team Christmas blog hop!

Hopefully you've found your way here from Debi's blog,
But if you've only started here then you might want to start back at Feeling Sketchy .

 I'm so excited to share my cute Christmas decorations and box I have made using this months sponsor Image 'Santa with Star'

 

Here are some instruction on how to make these cute little Christmas decorations to hang on your tree.
First you will need to print out the Digi Stamp . I have put two images per 10.5x15cm card . I think six decorations makes a lovely gift box amount. 

Next you will want to colour the images using your chosen medium. I love Pro Markers so I have coloured them with these. If you aren't as time poor as I am you might want to print some extras and fussy cut the star and hands, adding some dimensionals to pop it out.

Once you have your images all coloured up just the way you like them, cut them out. I have left the beard and the hat tail on but you could trim these off and double side the decoration like baubles. Next is to add ribbon to hang them. Simply staple ribbon in the position where you would like it. 
 

These would make a great little gift to give to work friends or for that decoration swap you might be in. Of course you need a box to present them in so I've made one of those to.

Here are the measurement and instructions you will need. for a box that fits six deco's.

Take printed double sided card stock measuring 13 x 11.3cm
score @ 2cm and 11cm on the long side then 2cm and 9.3 cm on the short side. This will leave you with 2cm squares in the corners. Snip on side of this square to the score line only and place adhesive in each square, taking note of which pattern you would like on the outside of your box. Fold all score line then adhere corners in place so side stand up.
Next take window sheet or acetate and cut a strip 9cm x 21cm.
score @ 2, 9.5, 11.5 and 19 cm and fold. Using strong stick strip, adhere 2cm ends together.

Place Christmas decoration in box and slide acetate lid over. Tie a nice ribbon around box and you are done.

I hope you like my Christmas project I have made for you and don't forget 
the fun doesn't stop here, the next blog to hop to is Sharyn's.

Build your own Christmas for Feeling Sketchy

Hi Guys,
It is fast approaching that time of year again so I thought I would make a Christmas card with one of the great images from this months sponsor

The image I have used is called 'Build your own Christmas' and comes as you see it here but also with each element separated so you can cut and paste them where you want them and build your own image...hence the name!!

I have colour this fab image in with my Pro Markers and tried to get as much shine into it as I could. Unfortunately I am very time poor these day so I don't get time to play and practice with my markers as much as I would like. this has turned out pretty good though. The sentiment is one I have had for years from Kassazz.

Here is the sketch over at Feeling Sketchy that i followed:

As you can see I chose not to go with the optional challenge, bling just didn't suit this card. But you might like to have a go. Hope to see your card over at Feeling Sketchy.

Feeling Sketchy #70

Hi there, It's time for another Feeling Sketchy challenge and this weeks sketch looks like this:

Once again I have used an image from our sponsor Sassy Design Studio and coloured her using mt Pro Markers. This is such a great image to colour with so many options. Check out the gallery on the Sassy website for ideas. 

Anyway here is my card, nice and bright:

Spoil yourself today.......

Hi Guys,
This week the Design Team at Feeling Sketchy get to play with some awesome images from our sponsor

 

You can check out the store here .

I have used the adorable Bubble Bath Sassy on my card this week and I could not resist adding a cheeky shower curtain to the sketch layout. It just fitted in perfectly and what girl doesn't love a bubble bath and a little pampering!

 Sassy was coloured in using my trusty Pro Markers, I have used my favourite skin tone colours of Blush, Dusty Pink and Coral. The bubbles have been given the sparkle treatment with twinkling like stars clear Spica pen but sadly it doesn't show up to well in the photo. Anyway, I hope you like my card this week and it inspires you to play along with the great sketch over at Feeling Sketchy.

Feeling Sketchy #63

Hi it's a seedy Sunday for me today! My family celebrated our sons 21st birthday last night so I am definitely on the go slow today. Here is this weeks inspiration card for Feeling Sketchy.

I have used the digi called Molly's Big Catch by our fabulous sponsor Lucy Sunshine Stamps. She has been coloured using my Pro & Flexi Markers. It is also my "F" theme partner card for an online swap group I am in.


Here is the sketch, now it is your turn to play along and be in the chance to win our monthly prize from our sponsor.


I'm also entering this into the.Lucy Sunshine "Anything goes" Challenge.

Ladybugs.....

Lucky gifted clear stamp matched perfectly.

Hi again, I told you I have been busy in my room with no time to post so here goes, I am about to make up for it. I have had this red and black spotty paper in my stash for a while now and never got around to using it. When I received my new Stampin Up " A flower for all seasons" stamp set and saw that cute little ladybug climbing up the side of the sunflower, I couldn't resist!!! So I quickly foraged through my stash and pulled out this sheet of paper and off I went.Naturally the ladybug was the whole inspiration for the card and anyone who knows me, knows it doesn't take much for me to be inspired by ladybugs...I LOVE THEM. Anyway because of that it is only artistically natural for my sunflowers to be of course red instead of the traditional colour of yellow. Yellow just would not work! The paper had a few blue grungy bits so this was the perfect highlight colour to add to the layout. Luckily I was given a clear stamp set by my lovely sister who no longer was using them and it just happen to have the sunflower that I have used on the base of, yep you guessed i, the easel card. I cut a tag from the Red Tag Sale cuttlebug alpha set after printing my saying on the computer, and added the oh so cute ladybug to finish. My niece was the lucky recipient of this card on Monday. She loved it! Cheers Dan xoxo
