Another Birthday card

Good Afternoon Ladies, Here is another Birthday card I made this week. I made this using the sketch from Papertake Weekly. I hope I am not too late to enter it.

Here is the card I made using the sketch above. The image is from The Greeting Farms digital collection.

I used papers from Basic Gray but I am not sure which collection it was :( the flowers were a Christmas gift from Steph - her generosity never fails to amaze me. I will have to remember to takea picture of the box she sent it in tonight and post it on here. I used copics to colour in the image.

Two birthday cards

Afternoon Ladies hope you are well. I am so busy at the moment it is untrue but I have managed to get these two cards finished. I made them on Tuesday then yesterday we were at the hospital visiting my father in law, I will be making more tonight then we are at the Hospital again on Friday.

The cards are for two different people, I love this image I wanted one as soon as they cam out on the greeting farms digi section but I had to wait until I had sorted out my paypal account :)

I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday to make both of these cards, I like making more than one card per sketch now, it seems to take a lot less time which is good at the minute as it is something I don't have a lot of.

Here is the first card. This is for my Father in law to give my sister in law for her birthday.

And here is a close up of the image, I coloured her with copics and used my white souffle pen to add highlights, I also added stickles to the wings to make them stand out.

Here is the second card using the same layout and image but for my sister to give to one of her friends for their Birthday.

And here is a close up of the image, again coloured with copics

A Birthday card for my Sister

I made this card for my sisters Birthday on the 08th December, photgraphed it, re-sized it and then completley forgot to post it ! What a wally.

Any how here it is now. I am entering this card in to the Creat4fun challenge which is to Make an Easel card. I love easel cards they are so fun and quick to make. The problem I have noticed though is that when you give them to someone it takes them a while to figure out what to do with them :)

I used paper that was in my goody bag from Steph's make and take a few weekends back, I can't beleive how much time has passed since then I swear this month is going uber fast. The Image is also one from Steph so I don't know who it is, If anyone reading this knows which company it is from please let me know so I can credit them.

Here is a close up of the image, I coloured her with my Copics and used my White Souffle pen to add in highlights.

I am also entering this card in to the Digital Tuesday Challenge which is to make a Birthday card.

Another Christmas Card

Here is the last of the Christmas cards I made using the Sunday Sketchers Sketch. I wanted to post this seperatly as I am entering this one in to the Just Magnolia Challenge which is 'Anything Chrisstmassy'. This is the first time I have entered this challenge so fingers crossed.

I stuggled with the colouring in on this one, next time I think I will look online for examples of colouring in to give me an idea of light and shaded areas etc. The papers used are from the Forever friends All wrapped up collection which I have used non stop this Christmas and will actually be able to use in to the new year as it is so versatile. The ribbon is from my stash and I tied the bow all by myself :) I am really please about that because a while ago a couldn't do that for toffee. My Magnolia is coloured with copic markers.

I am also entering this card in to the Creative Card crew Challenge which is 'Anything Goes'

A few cards using the same Sketch

Good Afternoon All. I made a few cards using the same sketch this week, it takes a lot less time as I am not hunting around for a sketch i like four 30 minutes before actually starting to do anything :) The sketch I followed is the Sunday Sketchers sketch :) this is shown below.

And here are two of the cards I have made using the sketch (I am putting the other in a seperate post)

I loved this sketch so simple yet really effective. Both cards were made using forever friends all wrapped up cardstock and also plain red cardstock from my stash. I ran my plain red cardstock through the cuttlebug to give it a bit more of an impact. Both images were coloured with copics, I am still learning with these I wish they did copic certification classes in the UK as if they did I would be first in line.

The first image is from CC Designs isn't he sweet and perfect for those male christmas cards.
The second I received in a swap so I am not sure who she is by but if anyone knows please let me know as I would love to get her for next Christmas.

I made both these cards for my mum to give out this Christmas took them over last night and she really like them :)

I am entering these cards in to;

Sunday Sketchers - Sketch
Our Creative Corner - Holiday Theme
Crafty Calender challenge - Winter sparkle - there is sparkle on the fur trim :)
Cute card Thursday - Using beads on your projects

Fingers crossed I might win one - I haven't ever won a challenge before :( I know - worls smallest violin LOL

Little Christmas Boxes

Well after the Make and take day at Stephs I couldn't resist buying the template for the little boxes we made by Lauren Meader. She is opening her new shop in Jan I am so excited to see what new things she comes out with.

Here are the two little boxes I made - I am going to fill them with Thorntons Chocolates for Christmas.

I am going to enter these in to the Creative Card Crew Challenge which is 'Christmas'

Side Step Christmas Card

Hi Ladies, Here is a Christmas card I made using a tutorial on the Whiff of joy blog Here  it was really easy to do and I love the effect, think I will make a few more like this. This particular one is for my little Niece on her first Christmas :)

I made this card using a digi image but I can't remember off the top of my head who it is by. The paper is from the Forever Friends all wrapped up collection which I am so glad I bought as I have used it sooooo much on my Christmas cards this year. I also used stickles on the hats to make them stand out a bit - you can't really see that in these pictures, I am really struggeling to get good light these days.

I am entering this card in to three challenges. The first is The pink elephant where the challenge there is to use your favourite colouring medium - no problems there I used my Copics to colour in these cute reindeer.

The second challenge is Stamp with ifun where the challenge there is Christmas, no problems there either this is a Christmas card :)

The Third is Digital Tuesday Challenge which is Christmas sparkle. Well I have used Stickles on the Santa hats and it is a Christmas card so it passes :)
