A CAS christmas card

DONT FORGET I HAVE A BLOG CANDY, NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF RULES EITHER

CHECK HERE

Ive been asked to start making my xmas cards as a few of my mums friends want to buy from me, as time is of the essence when you have 2 small children i made a few simple ones, and this is one of them, i believe the digi is a crafty pad one, i enlaged it to make it the main image rather than small, I used icycle stickels and glossy accents for the snow, and promarkers on the snowmen, popped on some organza and a gem brad and bobs your uncle (well not mine but he must be somebodies)

The sentiment is a stampin up one,

Yummy cupcake card

Well good afternoon folks, i hope your day so far has been a good one? ive made dinner and chilling for a bit why hubby is getting stressed with ales trying to sort the toybox out lol, he wants to get rid of some of them except alex isnt really into it lol, im leaving them to it for a bit as it wasnt my idea lol

Here is a cupcake card made with my dovecraft papers and decoupage set, i have actually made a few cards with this set as i think theyre sooo pretty, ive added star dust stickles to the edges and on the cake then glossy accents on top of the cake as well, the grossgrain ribbon was cut from a gift packed teddy i got, its 1.5 cm wide, then used a craftwork cards sentiment.H

Our lovely jenny from cardmadfairy creations and host of digi days has been a busy little bee, she has designed a set based on the lovely imogen here which was the first in the set, and also watch this space for some new christmas images. here is a close up of the lovely flowers, but the colours look soooo different in close up dont they?
I used the dovecraft tea house papers, the ticket stamp is from whimsy stamps and of course you can get imogen HERE at a very very affordable price of 99p and she is fab to colour in.

im loving my martha stewart doily lace punch, i know its been out a while now but ive only had it a couple months and lurve it so much


For my bling i have used silver elasticated thread from my ever expanding stampin up stash

Ribbon get well card for a guy !!!!

I was asked to make a card for a mad forest fan who is ill, i dont really have much footy stuff in my stash and that what i do have isnt the right colours so i thought id use this lovely lotv stamp and colour it in!!! the papers are forever friends for him, and then ive looped lots of ribbon to give a bit of something different, I really love the look of the ribbon when i do it like this!! i hand written the sentiment as my computer ran out of ink lol, i didnt want to put get well soon as he is very ill and not sure he will, but i was asked by a close friend to make one so put "feel better soon" i do hope it seemed appropriate,
As it turned out they really liked it!!!
which i am glad on such circumstances i never know what to make,

Id like to enter this into a few challenges

My new lotv stamp - isnt she cute

I got this little beauty the other month from a craft fayre and i just had to get her mounted, she is just too cute lol, this is the first card ive made using her, i have quite the collection of lily of the valley stamps now that ive had to get them there own storage box lolI didnt want to put any papers on there as i thought she looked pretty enough on her own, I used my martha stewart double scallop punch as i love this one, and then various brands of flowers, prima etc, and the ribbon ive had in my stash for quite some time, i glittered up the brads for some extra bling and then wrote up a sentiment of my laptop, as per usual i got out my promarkers to colour her in, and finished her off with some glossy accents.
