Christmas in July card 4

Yet another white on white card, I am so pleased I have embossing folders to give some texture to a white on white card.

I have used a Cuttlebug embossing folder called Ice Crystals on two pieces of white card and attached to base card. The image is a Karens Doodles digistamp called First Snowfall which I have coloured in with Promarkers. I then cut a scalloped square to stick the image onto. I added a Martha Stewart snowflake with a white pearl in the centre onto each corner of the image to finish it off nicely.

The image is a Karens Doodles digi stamp called Bigsby Wreath which I have coloured in with Promarkers and the cut out using my circle and scalloped circle nesties. I then embossed some white card with my ice crystals Cuttlebug embossing folder and stuck to the base card. I have added two white corners (Cuttlebug Fancy corners die) and 2 Martha Stewart punched snowflakes with a white pearl in the centre onto the right hand side of the card as I felt it needed something there.

The image is a Karens Doodles image called Skating Fun which I have coloured in with Promarkers. I cut two pieces of card and embossed both with my Ice Crystal Cuttlebug folder and stuck to the right hand side card.

Christmas in July card 1

Thank goodness for Cuttlebug Embossing folders. Karens Doodles are doing a challenge this week where you can only use white on white. The only thing you are allowed to colour is the image. Gosh I found this one difficult.

I have followed the sketch over at One stop craft. The image is a Karens Doodles image called First Snowfall which I have coloured in with Promarkers. I cut out the image with my circle and scalloped nesties. I have embossed the diamond shape below the image with a Cuttlebug folder called Ice Crystals and embossed the base card with a spotty Crafts Too embossing folder.

I have cut out the snowflakes with a Martha Stewart punch and stuck a white pearl in the middle. I stuck the snowflakes onto the card with Pinflair glue gel.

Birthday Dragon

Another card made. I have used a digi image by Karens Doodles which I won from one of the Karens Doodles challenge blogs, I think the little dragon is soooo cute. I coloured him in with Promarkers.

I have followed the sketch over at Friday Sketchers. The gingham backing paper is printed from a download by Pink Petticoat. I have edged the paper with fine line silver peel offs before sticking to card. I have then embossed some card with a Seeing Spots Cuttlebug folder and stuck to card. I have added a piece of blue ribbon too.

I cut two circles with my nesties, did some faux stitching around the edge and added a handprint button with some ribbon threaded through it. I stuck that and the image down with 3d foam pads then added 3 square gems to the top right hand corner.

Workout buddy card

Here is a card I have made using one of the digi images I recently won over at Karens Doodles Its called workout buddy, I think its really cute that Rosie is pulling Bigsby on his water skis, I've never really fancied water skiing but Bigsby and Rosie seen happy to do it.

I have followed the wonderful sketch over at Karens Doodles USA just adding a little circle sentiment in the top right hand corner to the original sketch.

The digi image has been coloured in with Promarkers. I have adding loads of texture by embossing the three pieces of card, one with swiss dots , one with D'vine swirl and the other with spots and dots Cuttlebug folders. I have then matted and layered the embossed pieces of card onto more card before sticking onto the base card.

I have added three pink buttons with cream thread running through them on the bottom right hand corner and 2 blue and cream flowers with gems in the middle and a pink larger flower with a larger gem in the middle onto the top left hand side of the card.

The sentiment has been computer generated and then cut out using my circle and scalloped circle nesties. The sentiment and image have been stuck on with 3d foam tape to raise off the card and the buttons and flowers have been stuck on with Pinflair.

I have also gone around the edge of the backing paper with a fine line silver peel off.
