A Card for Sundays with Santa "A Card for a Child"

Good Morning Crafters, well I dont know if you heard it in your neck of the woods but at 1.30 am this morning there was a torrential downpour of rain yet again and it woke both hubby and myself up, its getting like a jungle in my garden as the grass and everything else is growing so fast, even the Forest is already over grown with ferns, I dont think theres enough sheep to chomp it down, the wild boar dont even touch that just turns over the grass instead, and of course its causing a lot of trouble when it gets into playing fields and gardens as you can image they do terrible damage. Now they want to cull them, not sure how they got dumped but theyve certainly reciprocated since they were dropped of on the side of the road a number of years ago.
Anyway Ive getting of the subject this weeks theme on Sundays with Santa is making a card for a child and I used this sweet Sugar Nellie image and printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her. Afterwards I used my Nestabilitie Labels Die No.1 to cut it out and a fancy one for the mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card the papers are from Trimcrafts "Santa's Workshop" and I have used two papers the first is a white background with houses on and the second is a stripped one and I have placed that across the center and a mesh ribbon around the center was then attached to the back of the first mount.
The mounted image was then placed in the center and the diecut sentiment down the right hand side.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

A Card for the Sugar Bowl and Sugary Sunday Challenges

Good Afternoon fellow Crafters, well I dont know about you but in my part of the woods its thundering and raining, not to nice but I suppose we ought not to be to greedy as we have had some beautiful weather lately and it was bound to change, right? Anyway to cheer you up I thought you might like to see what I have been upto, this is one of the Pip images from Sugar Nellie and I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I cut her out with my Nestabilitie Die and a fancy one for the mount, I also used a smaller one from the same die set for the mount for my sentiment, which was printed from my computer and cut to fit the mount.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" and the first mount is blue card and the papers are from Sweetshoppes "Dare 2be Different" digi paper set, I have used three papers for the card and layered them up as shown, I then placed the mounted image towards the left with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.
I then used several more of the papers from the same paper set and 3 of the Woodware Daisy punches and created a layered flower in the top right hand corner, I used my ball tool to shape the petals and layered them up and stuck them to the card on top of some cut leaves.

A Card for Sundays with Santa (Facebook) and Sugar Bowl

Good Afternoon Crafters, a couple of weeks ago Sugar Nellie had 4 new digital images for sale, and this is one of them isnt he cute, my eldest daughter loves Penquins so this will probably go to her when the time comes.
I have printed him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Labels Die No.28 and the mount has been cut out with the Decorative one of the same number. The sentiment is one from my stash and  has been cut as a tag, as the Challenge this week over on Facebook for Sundays with Santa is "Tag It".
The card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card, the papers are from First Edition "Silent Night" paper pad, this first paper is a blue background then on top is a white snowflake one which has had the punched out in the corners and borders with Martha Stewart punches and then placed on top of the first mount. The around the middle I have  used a ribbon and attached to the back of the first mount.
I then placed my mounted image in the center with the tag popped in the bottom right hand corner. And to finish of I have punched out snowflakes which have been glittered with german glass glitter and layered up and then placed in the top left hand corner, and one in the top right.

A Card for the Sugar Bowl Challenge - "A Sketch"

Good Morning Everyone, well Im so sorry for not doing much in the posting line, but its been busy here even though Ive not put anything on my blog I have been creating cards, I want to try and get ahead before we go away for a few days at the end of May, and you know what its like the time whizzes by and before you know it the holiday date is here and none of my DT cards are ready either to post or to schedule. So I thought that I would for today post a card for not only this weeks Sugar Bowl Challenge "A Sketch" but also for their Sugary Sunday Challenge over on Facebook, this week its a colour challenge.

And I decided to use "Elaines" favourite character "Pippa Longstockings" and I agree she is gorgeous and so so cute, Ive stamped her onto white card and then used my copics to colour her, afterwards Ive cut her out with Nestabilitie Label Die No.17 and then drawn around the die to create the mount, the sentiment is one from my stash and has also been stamped and then mounted onto the same colour card as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of green/blue card and the papers Ive used are from the Sweetshope digi downloads and this one is called "Two Straws" and this first paper has lots of scrolls on, and on top is a piece of diamond patterned paper in green and blue, this was positioned down the card.
I then cut out two swirls and positioned them in the bottom left hand corner, and then on top I positioned my mounted image, and the sentiment was stuck down the edge of the right hand side.

A New Baby Boy Card

Good Morning All, Happy Mothers Day to you Girls, and I hope that your families are spoiling you rotten, its only day that we girls can get all the love and hugs without anyone feeling stupid, yes I know we are entitled to it all the time, but some lads dont like to show it do they? they feel that it isnt butch to show it.
Anyway todays card has been created for one of my friends, her granddaughter is expecting a baby at the end of May and she asked me if I would create a baby boys card for her, and Ive always loved this gorgeous digi from Sugar Nellie and decided it I was good excuse to use it. Ive printed it onto white card then used my copics to very gently colour it, afterwards I cut it out with my rotatrim and mounted it on some blue card. The sentiment is one I found on the internet and added an extra line to it, this was also printed and mounted in the same way as my image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue pearlescent card, the two papers I have used come from the Nitwit Downloads "Bundle of Joy", the first paper is an all over white pattern with bibs, bottles and babygro's on, the second which is difficult to see is a pretty flower and scroll pattern Ive cut this into a 5" square and used one on my all around Martha Stewart Lace punches on it. Over the top of these two papers Ive wrapped a piece of lace and some ribbon around the card and attached it to the back of the first mount.
I then positioned my image in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom on the right hand side. Ive not put any flowers on it as I think as its a boy card we dont want to make to sissy. Hope you like it.
