Three Disney Christmas cards, one Baby Boy card.

Hi Folks, I haven't been around for awhile as I have been to France to see our Daughter who lives there. Had a super time, ate and drunk far too much so it is back on the diet now!!!

These four cards were made before I went but the last few days before leaving were hectic and my photographer was not available.

The following three cards have all been produced from Disney images taken from Google. Sorry two of them are the wrong way round but I can't seem to turn them. They have all been printed onto Glossy Photographic paper. Donald Duck has been matted onto red Mirri card and has red Mirri card toppers made by using Spellbinders Shapeabilities "Holiday Cheer" and put through my Cuttlebug. One of the Winnie the Poo cards has been matted onto silver and the other one onto gold and I have used the same Spellbinders Shapeabilities for the toppers.

The card below has been made using Joanna Sheen's CDROM "Baby Love". The topper and backing paper have been printed onto Satin Photographic paper. The card for both the main and matting and layering is Star Dream also from Joanna.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look and I will try my best to look all your lovely blogs in the next few days. I have to wade my way through all my washing and ironing first. What joy!!!!

Another Four Creations LOL!!!!

The above A6 card has been made with an image from Google. I have mounted it on Silver Mirri board. The main card is purple.

This A5 card has been made with a decoupage sheet from Kimsies Whimsies and is called"Kelsey". The backing paper I made myself from an image from Google and I have put it through MCS to produce it.

These two cards, one A5 and the other A6 are Dufex Decoupage Faerie Poppets. I have used half of a Dufex card blank on the fronts. The A5 card looks in the picture like I have mounted it lopsided but I haven't!!! LOL!!!!

Hope you are all not too cold the past few days. We have had mixed weather and have been in a quandary in what to wear. We have a problem also as we are going to France soon to see our daughter and not sure what to pack. Can not take too much as we are flying with a company who mustn't be named that don't let you take too much weight!!!

Thank you for looking today.

Love

4 Christmas Popcorn/3 Elegant Ladies

The three cards below were stamped at my once a month Craft club that is held at Messing once a month on a Tuesday evening. Two of them were watercoloured at the club, the other one just stamped. I finished and mounted them at home. They were all watercoloured with a combination of H20's and Cosmic Shimmers. They were Lynne's stamps, she runs the club.


This one is "Belle" UN21 it can be bought from Particraft but I think it is a Creative Expression Stamp.

The one above I think is called "Serenity" and the one below I think is "Grace". They are both on the "Serenity/Grace - Pose" Stamp plate 2300010A and are from Demension Forth Ltd. The one below is very highly gemed the one above has only one gem on.

These four cards below are printed from "PopCorn the Bear Christmas Collection". by Crafters Companion. Both the toppers and backing paper were taken from it.

I hope you have enjoyed looking today and thank you for taking the time. Thank you for any comments you would like to leave they are very much appreciated. I have so many Christmas cards to make and I am not sure I am going to make it but I will keep plodding along. The main thing is at the moment I am enjoying doing them. I am trying not to make more than one of each one this year because otherwise it feels more like a conveyer belt.

7 Jayne Nestorenko Cute Christmas Cards

The 7 cards below have been created using the Cute Companions "Christmas Collection"
CD-ROM from Jayne Nestorenko. Different stamp plates have also been used to complete the scenes which have been watercoloured using H20's and Cosmic Shimmers.

Sorry the blog system doesn't seem to like the DL cards as it twists them round. This card has it's scene printed from the CD and is decoupaged, it has been mounted onto silver mirri board and glittered in places. The stamped images are from "Let It Snow" stamp plate.

This street scene has been printed from the cd and mounted on gold mirri card and glittered in places. It is an A4 card. The stamped images are from "Tis The Season" stamp plate.

Sorry about the above card being on it's side, where I have taken it from it is the right way round. The blog system has twisted it in its wisdom!!!!. The stamp plate is "Wonderful Christmas " and "Christmas Wishes" The scene has been mounted on gold mirri board. It has been glittered in places.

This decoupaged scene has been mounted on to gold mirri board. The fire coal and flames and stocking have been glittered.

The above two cards are using the same scene from the CD-ROM. One card is A5 and the other one is 6 x 6 square. The scene has been mounted onto silver mirri board. The images are stamped from "Glad Tidings" stamp set. I have used "Polar White" Flower Soft for the roofs and bushes.

The above card has had the letters printed from the CD-ROM Alphabet section. I have then put Glossy Accents over the top with glitter sprinkled before it drys. The stamped images are from "Deck The Halls" and "Christmas Wishes".

I hope I haven't bored you in making all seven from the same CD-ROM but I just couldn't stop making them. I didn't get around to using this CD-ROM last year so I am making up for it this year. Lol!!!!

Thank you so much for looking.

6 Cards Including a Saucy One!!!!

The card above was made using the stamp plate from Creative Expressions

called "UMSHOES" this has both shoes and handbags and also two sentiments. I have watercolored them with H20's and Cosmic Shimmers.

This card has been produced using an image from google and backing paper from Joanna Sheen's "Victorian Romance" CD-ROM. The greeting is a silver peel off and flowers were from The Paper Mill.

The top two cards was made using two different Paper Pricking templates that I had in my stash. I can't remember where I got them from as I got them when I first starting card making. The toppers are also from my stash from times gone by. I thought I had better start using them as I have box loads of them unused. The greeting is a gold peel off.

This hunk is a decoupage sheet I found in my stash. Not sure where I got it from but the sheet has the name "Hobby Tool" printed on it which I dread to think what it means!!!!

This one has been made using a decoupage sheet called "Dusty" from Kimsies Whimses. The backing paper is an image from google then put through MCS CD-ROM to make it into a backing paper. The backing paper is mounted onto gold mirri card. The greeting is also from the decoupage sheet. The orange mounting circle has been put through my Cuttlebug.

Thank you very much for looking and taking the time to post any comments which are very much appreciated. Good or bad.

Love

3 Baby Cards/1 Wedding Card/1 40th Birthday Invite Response

I made this card this week to send to my Daughter in France in response to her 40th birthday party invite. Bless her she has done it all proper in sending us an invite as she knows we are going as we booked the flight in March to go. Lol!!! I have used Popcorn the Bear CD-ROM to make it from Crafters Companion.

The above card was made for a customer, the topper image was found on google and the backing paper is printed from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Romance CD-ROM. The flower sprig is also from Joanna's website.

This nursery scene has been taken from Cute Companions Summer Stories CD-ROM by Jayne Nestorenko. This is a double disc collection and this one is the indoor stories. I have also used some of the stamps from the same series this one used is Playtime. Picture doesn't show it but it is decoupaged.

The above two cards have been produced using the Baby Love CD-ROM from Joanna Sheen and are two more for the basket where I sell my cards. I have said before that there is a girl pregnant there and obviously we don't know what sex the baby is so I am having to make lots of both so as not to get caught out!!!!

Thank you for looking and I hope life is treating you well. I really don't know where the weeks go.
