Another Card for Sundays with Santa Challenge

Good Morning Crafters, this weeks Challenge over on Facebook for Sundays with Santa is a "Snowflake" one and I thought I would use this Magnolia image of Edwin as my one for this theme. I have stamped him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him, afterwards I cut him out with my Nestabilitie Labels Die No.1 with a scalloped one for the mount. The sentiment down the right hand side is one from Papercrafts and cut out of blue card.
The base card is 6"x 6" white card and the papers are from Nitwits "Snow Folk" digi paper set, I have used three designs and the first a pale blue background with snowflakes on and the second is a embossed one with sentiments on and the third a darker blue background with yet more snowflakes on.
I then placed my mounted image in the center and to finish of I have used three snowflake diecuts to layer up and position in the bottom left hand corner of my image.

A Card for Sundays with Santa

Good Morning Crafters, well the sun is out and its looking a hell of a lot better than last Saturday and Missy will get her walk today which she missed last week. This weeks Challenge was to create a Christmas Card with non-traditional colours, and I chose this sweet image from Magnolia and coloured her in blues and greens then used a Ornament Die from Nestabilitie to cut it out then drew around the die to create the mount. The sentiment is one of my stash and has been treated in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of brown card, the papers I have used are from Carta Bella's "Christmas Day" paper set, both the designs are of Christmas Ornaments and I have used a beige background for the first paper and the second is a strip that has had both edges punched with a ornament border punch from Martha Stewart and stuck down the center of the first layer.
I then cut another ornament design out and ran through my eBosser with a embossing folder, this was then placed in the bottom left hand corner and my mounted image was placed towards the top in the center with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.

A Card for the new Magnolia Challenge

Good Afternoon Crafters, Ive been trying for quite awhile to get around using one of these new Magnolia Images and at last I found a new Challenge over on Ribbon Girls and thought it was just right also to use these new Nestabilitie Dies.
I stamped Tilda image onto a piece of white card then coloured it with copic pens, and then used my new Basic Card Dies from Nestabilitie die on it and the surround is a new Rectangle die to. The sentiment is one of the Whimsey Love one and this was also stamped onto white card a heart die to cut it out.
The base card into a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card, the papers I have used from the First Edition "Adore" paper pad, the first a red background with white hearts on it, the second is a damask pattern and I used the Martha Stewart Border and Corner Heart punches on it and laid on top of the bottom layer.
I then cut out a border with one of the Memory Box Heart dies and laid it down the left hand side, then threaded a piece of red ribbon through a piece of white lace and laid it down beside the diecut. The mounted image was then positioned on the right and the mounted sentiment is positioned on top of the lace in the left hand corner.

A Card for my future Granddaugher in law

 

Three weeks Saturday my eldest grandson Andy will marry a beautiful young girl Laura and they will start their lives together, and I wanted to let Laura know how much she will mean to us by joining our family. Andy is one beautiful person and so is Laura and I know they will be very happy together or at least I sincerely hope they will. Laura is a fully qualified nurse and works very hard though I know they are hoping to start a family fairly quickly so I wouldnt be to surprised to hear that Im to be a great grandma in the near future. Anyway we have to send them some money as a gift and I couldnt think of anything nicer than to make her a card wishing her all the best for the 18th August, and here is the image I decided to use, its Tilda with her bridesmaid.

Ive stamped her onto white card then used my copics to colour her, and then used Nestabilitie Die Labels No.18 to cut her out, then drew around the die to create the mount which I have pleated lace all around the edge of. The sentiment is yet another of the Magnolia stamps which I thought was appropriate for the card, this has also been mounted onto pink card.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card, the papers I have used are Kaisercrafts "Chanteuse" Collection a very pretty set of papers, the first is a white background with flowers and leaves on, and for the second I cut a 5" square and used one of my Martha Stewart border and corner punches on it, then placed it on top of the bottom layer. I then cut a heart doily

 with one of the pink papers with a Cheery Lynn Die, and then wrapped a pink organza ribbon around the middle.

The mounted image was then positioned towards the right with the sentiment at the bottom on left.

And to finish of I created a flower spray with roses, carnations and pearls in the top left hand corner.

A Card for Just Magnolia's Sketch Challenge

Good Morning All, its been awhile since I used any of my Tilda Stamps and I thought for a change I would give them an airing, this is one of the new ones and she has a cuddly blanket and sucking her thumb, this so reminds me of my middle daughter Sarah as even at 45 she still has a crafty suck of her thumb when shes stressed, not really a good model for her 4 children but I suppose with teenagers its enough to make you want to stuck your thumb, Ive stamped her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used a square Nestabilitie die to cut her out, the image was then mounted on a heart square from Spellbinders. The sentiment is yet another of my stash ones and has been mounted on the same pink card.

A Card for two Challenges - Just Magnolia and Magnolia Stamp Lovers

Good Afternoon All, sorry Ive been so lapse but Ive been trying to get myself sorted and of course theres been my DT cards over on my Number One blog to get sorted and this poor blog has got forgotten. Anyway todays card has been created for the Just Magnolia's "Sketch by Bev" and the Magnolia Stamp Lovers "Easter" them, and Ive used this sweet image of Tilda and a baby lamb, please forgive it being not quite straight, I did put it down straight but I think the glue I used must have slipped on the blue mount and caused the topper to look squiffy. Anyway Ive coloured her with my copic pens then cut her out with a Rectangle Nestabilitie Die, then used a Scalloped one for the mount. The sentiment is yet another of the Magnolia stamps and this has been put onto a piece of white card and mounted with a small piece of the same blue pearlescent card I used for my image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of yellow pearlescent card and one of three papers from the "Spring Time" Forever Friends paper pack from Hallmark, the first paper is a yellow check pattern thats been cut in halve and positioned across the two halves of the bottom mount, on top of this is a large oval of yellow card with the second paper which is a pretty white base with daffodils and chicks on, then down the left hand side is the third mount and this is a blue strip thats been mounted on a piece of blue card.
I then positioned my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom underneath it. To finish of Ive created three flowers with some of the left over papers and stuck them on the card at the top on the right with some silicone glue on top of some punched out leaves.
