Basket Of Happiness

 

 

Another quick card from me today as I wanted to use up the last bit of magazine freebie paper from the other cards I made a few days ago.

 

This one features another Elisabeth Bell image and is coloured with pencils.  I used a border punch and ribbon on the borders and made a small bow with the rest of the ribbon.

Eat More Cake...

 

Well, here we are, another week, another card.  I have started to enjoy doing this again after so long.  I think Mr Mojo is definitely back in the building.  Long may he stick around.

 

Anyway, today's card features a Bugaboo digi stamp (I do love the humour of these stamps) which I have coloured with promarkers according to the 'colour palette'.  The sentiment is also Bugaboo and comes with the digi.  I made a punched border across the card and used washi tape to decorate it which is a first for me.  The balloons are die cut from recycled card and the strings are twisted florist's wire.  The background papers used are magazine freebies.  I thought the colours matched in quite nicely.

Clementine

Today's card features a little cutie from Elisabeth Bell which was a magazine freebie.  I have coloured her with promarkers and layered her using Tonic dies.  The stamped sentiment was also a magazine freebie and has been coloured with promarkers too.  This has been layered using Spellbinders dies.  Along with those, both backing papers were magazine freebies.  The leaves have been punched with a Woodware punch.  The flowers and ribbon are both from my stash.

Jelly Pip

Here we go again with the previous freebie papers.  This one features a Sugar Nellie stamp called 'Jelly Pip'.  I love these stamps as they are so easy to colour and cute with it.  This one has been coloured with promarkers and chalk.  The ribbon and buttons are from my stash.

Wee Flower Fairy (2)

Here is another Flower Fairy from Wee Stamps, again coloured with promarkers.  The papers are from a magazine freebie (I'm hoping to get another two cards from what's left).  The sentiment stamp is also a magazine freebie.  The bit of ribbon has been recycled from clothing and the flowers, brads, eyelet and gem are from my stash.  This is a fold-back card.

Please note: The flowers are yellow and the gem is pink.  I don't know why the scanner has changed the colours, too much light getting in maybe.

Baby's 1st Christmas

Here is another card I made a while back and haven't shown before.  I made this for Billy's first Christmas.

The LOTV stamped image has been coloured with promarkers and simply layered using nesting dies.  The strip has been punched and ribbon added along with a little charm.  I can't remember where the backing paper came from but I added a few card candi to it.  A few flowers from Wild Orchid finishes the card off.

Princess

This is a card I made a while back but never got to show.  The palace, paper and sentiment are from a 'Complete Cardmaking' download.  The digi princess is from Squiggles and has been coloured with promarkers.  I personalized it by writing the name on the flag and adding the number 4 to the sentiment.  The flowers and gems are from my stash.

Wee Flower Fairy

Today I felt like going all feminine and floral and this is what I came up with.

The stamped image is from Wee Stamps and is coloured with promarkers and then layered using a lace doily at the back.  The strip has been punched and glittery ribbon added.  The beautiful background paper is another magazine freebie, isn't it gorgeous?  The assorted layered flowers with brads are all from my stash.

Jump!

Sorry about the photo, it was quite difficult to take with all that acetate and this was the best one out of a bad bunch.

Well, I have made a shaker card this time and filled it with multicoloured sequins.  I started by covering the front of my card with gingham paper (magazine freebie) and adding card candi to the corners and finishing with a little bow.  The stamped Magnolia image has been coloured with promarkers and chalk.  The sentiment stamp is also a magazine freebie.

Birthday Wishes

Today's card has the main focus on the sentiment which is an old Stampendous stamp that I have had for many years but still love.  This has had little gem stars added.  (Finally found a use for those teeny weeny ones).  The background has been heat embossed with holographic powder so that it sparkles, love that technique.  The butterfly has been punched out of sparkly card and gems added.
