4 snow cards

Today I have another set of Christmas cards to show you.
I have used a image from Bugaboo one of my favourite sites for digi stamps.

I have made 4 different cards using this 1 image which is Christmas words - snow

A closer look.

On this A6 card I have used Bugaboo Snow image, Martha Steward holly punch, Ice sparkles - crystal ice glitter glue, Promarkers - cyan, lime green, bright orange, ivory and cool grey 1. and I layered the main image on lime green card and attached with foam pads.

This A6 card was made using the same image but I have changed the punch to the snowflake boarder and the colours are now magenta,canary,bright orange,ivory and cool grey 1 and have used pink to layer the image.

I would like to enter these cards into:-

ABC Christmas challenge - Z is for zingy colours



Christmas card total so far 5/300 only 295 togo.

A new baby

A new baby.

We are not sure if baby is going to be a boy or girl as parents dont want to know..




So I'm made this card in lilac.
This bugaboo image is Moon Baby - sweet dreams and I've used promarkers to colour in the image.The layers were made in my graphic programme and then printed out.I've added ribbon, flowers and a dummy to finish the card.

Card tote

Today I've got something different to show you.

While surfing the web the other day a came across a tutorial for a card tote. You can find Maria Bell's tutorial here.

I made it out of 5 sheets of 12x12 paper
3 x dark pink
2 x light pink

I've also added some buttons and flowers to finish.

Front viewSide viewand inside

This tote is easy to make..I will say the next one I make I'll add the inside folders before adding the side panels as I found it a bit fiddly to add them after the side panels were glued in.Also I need to get some white velcro.

I would like to enter this tote into the folllowing challenges.

They went really well and came home with orders for 30 more form my work mates.

The first picture is one bag from each pack.The Bcking papers all came from Craftsuprint

The template came from Card making downloads and you can buy it here.

Hope you like them.
