Button it for Christmas- Part 2

For some reason I can't seem to post these in the last one, so have done two separate lots. Both of these cards were made using the DCWV Christmas stack. The image is a Penny Black stamp, coloured with Sakura gel pens and some I Kan'dee chalks for the actual cat. The greeting is from the Hero Arts 2007 set. Finished with a Doodlebug button.

Button it for Christmas- Part 1

This challenge was from last friday on the Just Bex forum- Simple one this week - all cards must include BUTTONS. Any buttons, whether normal or novelty. Each card is made using a Penny Black stamped image. I had quite a few left over from last year, so thought I'd put them to good use.


This one was made using the DCWV Christmas stack. Some ribbon and a gorgeous little Doodlebug button.





This one is Doodlebug papers and again another DB button with some grosgrain ribbon.













I used the DCWV stack again for this one. The image is coloured with Sakura stardust pens. Finished with some dark green satin ribbon and a green button.

Green and Pink Christmas

Not been around for a while... to be honest, I haven't really been in a cardmaking mood. But I seem to be back on track again.

Really enjoyed this one... to start I grabbed some Bazzill from the Doodlebug colour ranges. I stamped on the pink one using my Hero Arts Christmas stamps and my green Dew Drop.

I mounted a Penny Black Stickeroo onto the green bazzill and edged with some pink ink. The strip of pink and green is from the same Stickeroo sheet.

To finish I edged the whole card using green ink.

Christmas Cards- Using Laurie Sketches

OK so I had another play tonight with some more sketches over at http://laurieunger.blogspot.com/. I decided to make a couple more Christmas cards.

For this one I used last years Papermania Christmas papers for the base of the card, and then for the triangle piece, also for the middle layer of squares. The first and third square are cut from the white Bazzill Bling, edged with lilac and pink Dew Drops.

The snowflake is from the Basic Grey Christmas chipboard pack, I inked it using the Dew Drops and stuck to the top card. I then cut a circle of the Bazzill Bling and stamped a Hero Arts greeting onto it.

This one was made using the white Bazzill Bling as the base of the card. I cut two triangles out from the darker blue Bazzill Bling and stuck them down. I then layered a Penny Black Stickeroo onto some more white Bazzill Bling and layered that onto the card. I finished with some blue ink to the edges and a few snowflake stickers from the same stickeroo sheet.

Another Blue one!

I used the sketch from http://laurieunger.blogspot.com/ for this one... all materials are the same.

Penny Black Stickeroos, Bazzill Bling, Hero Arts stamps and Dew Drops... yummy

A Blue Christmas

I don't think I've EVER made a blue Christmas card, but there's a first time for everything. I'm actually quite pleased with the way this one has turned out.

The shimmery card is Bazill Bling in white, and then layered onto it is some lovely blue. The ribbon is actually from a really cheap Papermania Winter ribbon pack I bought ages ago.

The cute snowman is a Penny Black Stickeroo layered onto some white Bazzill Bling and edged with blue Dew Drop. I then added a few snowflakes from my Hero Arts 2007 stamp set.

A Basic Grey Christmas

Ah, that time of year is coming... and I have just made my first Christmas Card of the year, using my new Basic Grey papers!! The scan is slightly wonky, so apologies for that!!

The gorgeous paper is the Basic Grey 'Fruitcake' collection. I used both sides of it to make sure the first two layers co-ordinated! The tag was also from the same collection... I then thread some brown grosgrain through and stuck down with some eyelet brads.

I inked around the edge of the paper with my 'Coffee Bean' Dew Drop and used it along with one of the new Hero Arts 2007 Clear stamp set.

Scissor Sisters Card Challenge

Yet another challenge from Just Bex- Okay ladies, root around and dust off those scalloped or zig zag scissors...yep this challenge is to produce a card using your decorative edged scissors.

The background paper for this was from the K and Co Tim Coffey 'Birthday' paper pad. I then used my decorative edge scissors to make a 'ribbon' using the Limeade Doodlebug Trios Bazzill card.

I stamped the Hero Arts stamp directly onto Bazzill using the Limeade Doodlebug ink pad.

To finish I added some Limeade Doodlebug gems... can you tell I LOVE DB???
