To get you tempted here is a sneak peek of my card tomorrow xx Clare x
I haven't done any paper pricking for ages but love the way it looks when I do get time. This is a lovely pattern that gives a great effect. The image is of a Floral Cross. This is half price at Daisy Doodles at the moment. 
I have coloured it using my Copics. I have added peel offs to the corners. xx Clare x
I have used this gorgeous stamp that I have had unused for 12 months & coloured in using my Promarkers. I then used my Woodware scalloped circle punch & layered onto a circle cut using my creative memories circle cutter. I used my MS punch to create the bands across the centre. The sentiment is peel offs layered onto a scalloped rectangle, layered onto a scalloped square which have both been punched using my Woodware scalloped square. xx Clare x
I have used the Poinsettia image & coloured it using my Promarkers & Copics. The sketch is from Sketch Saturday. I used my bug to make the snowflakes as well as add some texture to the card. I have to say also that my dining room is now officially a glitter room as there is Glamour Dust everywhere lol!!!! Don't forget to pop by the other DT blogs & spread a little festive cheer this week xx Clare x
As a special treat we were given some fab images to play with & these will be available to purchase from the 5th December. Anyhow here is my card
I have used the image of the little boy with the candy cane. This card is going to be put aside for my hubby I think. I have used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. The lace was originally white & I have coloured it in blue using my Copic Pens.
I printed the Polar Bears onto paper & coloured with Promarkers. I cut 2 scalloped ovals on my bug. I then popped some mini marshmallows into cello bags & tied the tags on with organza ribbon. xx Clare x
Welcome to an extra post from me this week for the special release of The 12 Days of Christmas over at the Daisy Doodles Store.
The girls on the DT have been working hard this week on making cards to showcase this fab set & there is a raffle going on too so make sure you check it out. Today, is my card & I created another of my Easel card calendars.
I just couldn't resist using this cute Ragdoll image from the set. I coloured her in with Promarkers & used the sketch from last week's Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I won't be ale to enter it into the challenge unfortunately but I still enjoyed using the sketch. I had another play with the Metallic Rub on set again & got my trusty bug out too.
I have used these fab MME papers that I got from Debbie last year. Unfortunately the camera hasn't picked up all the glitter on the papers. I have coloured the bear in using a mixture of Promarkers & Copics. I will be glad when the day comes where I have all the colours & only need to use one brand or the other. I added glitter gems to all the scallops on the card although these don't seem to have picked up :-( xx Clare x
I then decorated the inside of the card using a smaller image of Chelsea & just colouring in the rose. I then created an area on the right of the card for writing a message.
Again if you are not aware of English traditions, we loving refer to sausages as "Bangers". I coloured the rockets in using Paint Shop Pro X & stuck them to wooden tea stirers. I then spelt the word "Bang" with peas.
I have been having a good play with the distress inks that I got from my friend Sam & I think I am now ready to get another couple of colours to add to my collection. Not sure if you can pick it up but all the border papers have the most adorable flowers on them.
If you haven't been over to their blog, now is the time to have a lookie. They have a fab team & some gorgeous digis. My 1st project should be next week so please pop over & join in with me then.
My latest card for Craftycat is featuring this great flying witch. It has again been taken from the Halloween paper piecing cd. I have teamed it with Daisy & Dandelion Halloween backing papers. I have also cut the bats from one of the papers. Here is a closer look at the witch
Please don't forget to pop back tomorrow to see this week's challenge over at Incy Wincy Designs. xx Clare x
The hanging calender was made using a gorgeous green gingham material & this is actually the 1st piece of sewing I have done on my machine. Up till now all I have done is stitching on my cards. Here is a closer look
Then yesterday I created a matching card using the same material & gorgeous pink ribbon.
This set will be available to purchase from my ebid shop. xx Clare x
I have 2 examples of Faux on this card...faux stitching & faux colouring. The image is MHS 56 from the shop. It is already coloured so makes for a great quick card. The faux stitching was created using my promarker. Here is a closer look at the image...
I have 3d the image & just added some braiding to the card to keep it nice & clean xx Clare x
I had great fun making this card & I think my mojo might finally be returning. I used the sketch from Fussy & Fancy. Not sure if you can see in the picture but I have only used Stickles on the main parts of her dress & also on her wings. Here is a closer look at the image
Don't forget that Incy Wincy also have a DT call running so make sure you pop over there & have a peek. xx Clare x
It is an A4 DL card, which I have never done before & it is so easy to do. You just print off & cut round. To give it a bit more of a Christmassy feel I added Glamour Dust to the snow. xx Clare x
This week I have used this fab pre-coloured Holly image from Mary Helen Sims. I used some red Crystal Lacquers on the berries to give them a bit of shine. I used last week's sketch from Pear Tree Designs. The Holly embellishments were created using Holly Sequins with 3 gems as berries.
This is a gorgeous Easel card kit that I bought this week by Carol Brown. You not only get the card but also the matching envelope too. I didn't really need to do too much to this, just added some stickles to the roses to add a bit of glitz. xx Clare x
I made this card using a decoupage sheet by Sharon Trommelen. I made it into a DL card. I created the trim on his hat & cuff using Flower Soft. It was the first time I had managed to get this stuff to stay on properly. The key seems to be plenty of glue!! I then added Stickles to the snowflakes & the white bits on the lettering. xx Clare x
All the papers I have used were from Simply Cards & Papercraft Issue 70. I coloured the images with Promarkers & added 3 star shaped flowers to the paper ribbon.
This second card is the same again but I added 3 Jolee Flowers to the paper ribbon.
This was actually the first card I completed out of the set & I wasn't too sure on it to start off with. I am not a huge fan of purple but it has definately grown on me. I added 3 star brads to the paper ribbon on this one.
This is the last of the 4 cards. I added buttons threaded with ribbons to this card. xx Clare x
