Christmas Cards with a difference....

Every year I get asked to make Christmas Cards in the theme of the kids favourite football teams.... and every year I get stuck! But not this year! One Aston Villa (COME ON!) and one Liverpool... 

Football Cards

Used the Holte End with the Lion covered in snow for the Aston Villa card and the top of one of the gates at Anfield for the Liverpool card. Pretty pleased with them both to be honest :)

Crafts & Me Challenge - Pearls & Swirls

Well, I think i've been quite clever for this challenge! :)

So the card is being entered into the :

Crafts & Me Challenge of "Pearls & Swirls"

I have used pearls & swirls but...... the card I have used is "pearl"-ised! ;) 

The image is a digi image and it is such a versatile image to use. This, as you can see is for my mate's 21st off us girls from work :)

Christening Presents & Cards

 So, I went shopping for a Christening present, and what did I find.......... diddly squat!!

So after much deliberation, I made my own! and here the both are... 

Maisey's Candle, Picture Frame & Card

Ellie's Candle, Picrure Frame & Card

Instead of making them in the same colour, I have done them different. 

I've used the same image which is from Lili of the Valley apart from on Ellie's picture frame. The images have been coloured with promarkers, this also applies for the candle. Use thicker tissue paper tho when making a candle. The colours stick/show up a lot better :)

PaperPlay Challenge.... Shaped Card

This is my entry into PaperPlay's challenge this week:

"Shaped Card"

So I've made a Stepper Card using Miss Anya stamps from The Greeting Farm. I took inspiration from a colour challenge blog, but the pink I had wasn't quite right so I didn't enter into the challenge, but saying that, I do like the colours together. Added a bit of ribbon and some gems too, but haven't added a greeting yet as it can then be personalised.

Magnolia Christmas Card for the Hairdressers...

 Bit hard making a christmas card for a hairdressers when then is loads of them! "/ but had a light bulb idea....

Hunting for my Magnolia Stamps at 11pm was not fun! but I found them anyway and came up with this card :)

Wanted to keep the card quite clean and simple with keeping to using one colour plus white, well, it's more than one colour! haha..... It is kind of girly but boyish at the same time.
