Sitting Pretty

Here is Candy Pip sitting pretty on her die cut bench.  She is an old stamp from Sugar Nellie (no longer) and I have coloured her with promarkers and attached her with foam pads.  The stamped sentiment is from LOTV and the design paper from Nitwits.  The die cut border is a magazine freebie and I have added some gems to it.  The little paper flowers are from my stash with gems also added.

Just For You

I have coloured my very old Whoopsi Daisy (now Linnie Pink Designs) digi stamp with promarkers and added a tiny star gem for a necklace.  My two design papers are from a very old Papermania pad and the sentiment from Hunkydory.  I think the die cut border was a magazine freebie and cuts very well.  I added some pearls to the border and a die cut flourish behind the image.

Just To Say...

Here is a new digi stamp I got from the Paper Shelter, ideal for today's teenager.  Now I need one similar, but for a boy...

The funky papers I have used are very old ones from The Paper Cellar.  The sentiment stamp on the die cut is from LOTV.  I have placed a die cut doily behind my image, I didn't want one too lacy as I didn't think it would go with the modern theme of the card.  I have coloured my image with promarkers and added a bit of glossy accents to her eyes.  I then punched and fussy cut a circle, adding a black gem to make the pacman.  A few card candi and the card is done.

Special Moments

While taking some stamps off their wooden blocks I came across this old favourite sentiment which I have heat embossed along with the little flower stamp.  I added some satin ribbon to the border panel as well.

I can't tell you the make of the stamps I have taken off of the wooden blocks as I threw the blocks away before I realised I didn't re-label them, duh!

Christmas Scene

Here is a stepper card using a friend's various dies.  All the elements to make this winter scene were die cut and glued to the various steps to give dimension.  I had to sit on my hands to stop me adding glitter...

Hangin' In There...

For this card I have used this cute little kitty from Bugaboo and coloured him with promarkers.  The sentiment has been stamped and heat embossed.

I have always had cats as I love their independent attitudes, and they have a calming effect when they decide to let you stroke them and cuddle them.  Sadly I have not been able to have any cats for the last few years as I found I had become allergic to them.

Pink Birthday

I have used a lovely Magnolia stamp for this card and I have coloured her with promarkers and paper pieced her dress.  The corners have been punched and pearls added.  I'm not sure where the printed sentiment came from as it is soo old.  I think it was a freebie, but who knows...

Baby Croc

For this card I have used this cute little baby croc digi stamp and design paper that is a freebie from Beccy's Place.  Who would think that a croc could be so cute???

I have coloured my image with promarkers and fussy cut him before attaching with foam pads.  The tree trunk has been embossed with a folder and inked with distress inks.  My die cut foliage is cut from recycled packaging.  The sentiment stamp iwas a magazine freebie.  Lastly, I added a couple of wooden creatures which I also coloured with promarkers.

No Image

This is more my usual style as I do like to add embellishments to my cards but I shall still have a go at the CAS style.

I started by matting and layering my base card using a lovely paper from Nitwits.  I then die cut a panel and added some recycled ribbon.  Next I attached some paper flowers and punched leaves adding a card candi to the flower.  Finally, I stamped, heat embossed, and die cut my sentiment attaching it to the card with foam pads
