Mum and Dad Christmas

For this 8" x 8" card for my Mum and Dad I used one of the gorgeous images from the Giordano Christmas Creations CD.

The backing paper is actually glittered but cos of the poor light it's very hard to pick up. Finished it all of as usual with ribbon and gems.

Hope you're all enjoying what's left of the weekend xx

Fizzy Moon Christmas

I used the gorgeous Fizzy Moon range for this 8" x 8" card.

I'm almost done now with making Christmas cards .. I think I've only got three more to do and then I can make a start on the 60 Engagement Invitations I have to make for the end of December!!!

Have a lovely weekend whatever you're doing xx

This Robin and Holly image is just one of the many gorgeous Christmas digi stamps available from Just Inklined.

I coloured him in with Promarkers and the holly backing paper is from the Forever Friends CD. The dots are cuttlebug embossed and a few sparkly red gems finish the card off nicely!

See you soon xx

Pink Forever Friends Christmas

I used the fabulous Forever Friends CD for this very, very simple Christmas card.

I had to keep it simple as I printed off around 50 of them to send to friends and neighbours. It made a nice change to work with pink rather than all the red I've been using lately!!! lol

See you soon xx

Father Christmas

Isn't he just fabulous!! This is what the real Father Christmas looks like and he's available here from Just Inklined.

He also must be one of the easiest and quickest images to colour in. I used Promarkers and just 5 colours: Burgundy, Poppy, Lipstick Red and Ice Grey 1 and 3. I used some Stickles Stardust on his hat but the pic hasn't picked it up very well.

Although I absolutely love Christmas I'll be glad when I can get back to making normal everyday cards!! lol

See you soon xx

Christmas Door

This gorgeous Christmas Door from Just Inklined looks sooo much nicer in real life. These awful, miserable, dark days make my photographs look absolutely atrocious!!! lol

It was coloured with Promarkers and the star backing paper is from the Forever Friends "Cosy Christmas" range.

See you soon xx

Robin on Watering Can

This gorgeous robin on a watering can from Just Inklined was so quick and easy to colour in.

The Promarkers I used were:
Watering Can: Ice Grey 1, 3 and 5, Khaki and Pastel Beige
Plant Pots: Burnt Orange, Pumpkin and Gold


The card itself was almost even quicker to make up!! Used my Hougie Board for the embossed background and a nestie for the image. I highlighted the snow with "Snow Writer" and then applied Stickles to the top of that.

Have a nice weekend whatever you're doing xx

Christmas Poinsettia

I absolutely love Poinsettias and as soon as I saw this new image from Just Inklined I couldn't wait to get it coloured in.

I've used Promarkers but forgotten (as usual) what colours I used!! A very simple card to make using cuttlebug and punches, and all finished off with ribbon and pearls.

See you soon.

Forever Friends Tealight Card

A tea-light card using the Forever Friends range. The little bear is a 3D sticker and the flowery backing paper is from the CD.




I really enjoy making them the only problem is they're soooooo time consuming!!! I was asked by someone if I could make them three to give as Christmas presents .. and can you believe I actually said NO!!! (Did you hear that Greta .. I said NO!! lol)

See you soon xx
