Dachshund Through The Snow...

This festive card is made using pre-coloured papercraft kits from Hunkydory.

Using my nestie dies I cut out and assembled a circular easel base card.  I then used the same die to cut the DP and attached to the base.  I then layered up the main image and attached with foam pads.  I also attached the sentiment with foam pads.

Birthday Wishes

Using papers that were old magazine freebies I covered my card following the sketch.  I die cut a border and added some ribbon and matching bow.  The two vertical panels have been embossed with another freebie, as is the die cut sentiment.  I coloured my stamped image with promarkers and attached with foam pads.

Journey

A simple stamped CAS card today.  I have used some magazine freebie stamps which I have stamped directly onto my panel apart from the compass which I have fussy cut and attached with foam pads.

Teabag

Another quick card this time using a digi stamp from Bugaboo along with some more magazine freebie stamps.  My image has been coloured with promarkers which I have also used to ink the edges of my panel.  Once I had stuck some spotty washi tape across the panel I stamped the sentiment and corner.  Finally I fussy cut the image and attached with foam pads.

Daydream

Here is a cute little image from Crafty Sentiments which I have coloured with promarkers.  The DP is from my scrap box.  The sentiment stamp is from LOTV.  My butterfly and leaves are punched and coloured with promarkers.  A few paper flowers,gems, bit of ribbon and a ladybug sticker and the card is complete.

Tall and Skinny

I must admit that although Easter allows you to eat chocolate without the guilt, I much prefer Spring as my favourite type of flowers start to bloom.  The Spring flowers make the place look more cheerful and shows you the promise of warmer weather, we hope.

Onto my card.  I don't usually make this size of card but thought I would have a go anyway.  My stamp is from Penny Black and I have coloured it with promarkers.  The DP is from Nitwits and the sentiment from Hunkydory.

Art Nouveau

With this one I first turned the sketch.  After adding a black mat to my base card I embossed part of my white mat using a folder and then added some DP which was free with a magazine.  To this I added some metallic ribbon.  My magazine freebie image and sentiment stamps have been heat embossed and attached with foam pads.  I coloured my image with a promarker along with my die cut flower.  Finally I added an old button to the flower.

Skandi Christmas Take Two!!!

I don't know what was going on yesterday???  I had already posted and linked my first card with no trouble, but when later I tried to do the same for the second card (see post below) I couldn't get the 'linky things' to accept my entries.  It was happening on all the sites I was trying to link to.  A lot of my blog pictures were not showing and even though I tried to leave a link in the comments section each time, that doesn't seem to have worked either!!!    

If anyone has any idea what might of happened please can you leave me a comment letting me know as I haven't a clue, thanks.

I hope the gremlins have left as I try again with a second card on the same sites.....

I have just made another easel card using the same magazine freebie stamps but with different freebie DP.  Again I heat embossed the stamps.  I fussy cut around the bird stamp before matting and layering that and the sentiment with die cuts.  The little sprig die I used was also a freebie.  This time I have changed the shape of the base card and also added some gems.

Fingers crossed...
