Christmas easel with pollycraft and papermania

This cute little image is from pollycraft, I used some snippets to make the crossways panels and also for the poinsettia.

So this is another christmas card for the pile and I used a papermania stamp for the sentiment and tag shape.

The image has been coloured with my promarkers.

I chalked the edges of the tag after I had used a deckle edge scissor to cut out the shape.

The large brad is DCWV.

Flying in with a Christmas Card, at last, I seem to have fallen behind with my christmas offerings, so must get back on track.  This is another pollycraft image, and I have coloured with my Stampin up pens this time.  The sentiment is a  bizzy becs and the papers are mainly scraps from the SU card and papers that i have been using recently.

A wee shot to show that I have decorated the inside of this card as well.

Coloured this fun little boy with my promarkers, just thought his gorgeous jumper had to be worked into a christmas card and here it is.  The sentiment is a bizzy becs and I used the scraps from an 8 x 8 sheet of card. I have distressed the edges liberally.

Biker boy for christmas

Have made this card for putting away for christmas time, have started off this year quite well and the pile is growing, fingers crossed that I don't fall out of the tree too quick this year, must keep it up!

I have coloured with a mixture of whispers and promarkers. I have used a bizzy becs (I think) sentiment and a DCWV sticker. Made a rosette style for under the circle sentiment for a change and popped a handmade fimo button with a piece of hemp tied to it as an extra embelly as it looked a bit 'bear'. Oh dear!, better speed this up a bit no more un'bear'able quips from me.

I made a stepper card for a change as I have not made one for quite a while now, I had forgotten how so it took a couple of goes to get it right, but think I have it now.

Squiggles No Embellies Christmas Card

This card was a little different and I found quite difficult. No Embellies was the request from Lollipop this time around so I had a go!

I used some pearlescent papers, keeping them to just the blues.

The brilliant fun christmassy cold image is from squiggle stamps is available here.

Again coloured with whispers pens and I glittered the snowman to within a snowflake of its life.

Faux stitching around image and pretty much everywhere else, must get the real sewing machine out again as it would be much quicker.

CAS Christmas Easel

This little sweetie is a sugar nellie and I have coloured her in with my whispers pens. I have followed a simple sketch and kept it clean and simple. I have added some faux stitching around the image and also some tibetan silver charms, which I attached with tiny brads.

Then I added some stickles to parts of her dress and some of the parcels.

The ribbon came from Brenda as part of her recycled candy that I won last year, it is perfect. I attached with a snowflake brad. The sentiment and snowflakes are from a set of christmas fairy stamps. The snowflakes have been liberally smothered in stickles.

A miss evie christmas card from our miss evie!!

This is a gorgeous miss evie digi, that my youngest daughter Evie has used for her christmas card to her nana and grampsy this year. I am sharing it with you cos I thought she did a really good job, although if I am honest I helped her with the border punch!

Now then she is coloured in with promarkers and evie has used some of my dotty green (honest) ribbon, has punched a couple of flowers out and added big red gems to their centres.  The large green flower is a poundland felt flower.

I am entering this into the following challenges for her.

Squiggles Gatefold for christmas

A Christmas Gatefold with this wonderful squiggles image called 'Cosy Goth Girl'. Thoroughly enjoyed making this simple yet effective and i think lovely card. This really was a less is more card but probably not enough less is more for me to ever enter their challenges with it.

DON'T FORGET SQUIGGLES HAS 20 % OFF OF ALL THEIR DIGI IMAGES FOR DECEMBER WICKED!!!

And their current challenge till january is 'Celebrate'

I coloured her with my promarkers and used a single layered flower from poundland of all places. I used a border punch on the green bazil card.  The flower also acts as a catch to hold the card together when flat.
