Christmas Sticker Cards

 I created my mixed media background for this card using white sticker sheets. 

Added some paint, inky stencilling and stamping. 

Then stamped my focal image and sentiment using Archival ink and stamps by Stampendous!

Sharing this card with the following challenges:

Penny’s Papercrafty, Rudolph Day (looking forward to being a guest designer over on this blog next month) and Crafty Calendar challenge.

This second card I used using the techniques described above and I am entering this into the We Love Stamping challenge.

Lolly pop Bookmarks

 Made these book marks from large lolly pop sticks.

After a coat of gesso I stamped my first bookmark with image by Stampotique and added a sentiment to the back. The second bookmark was stamped using kitchen images by AAll and Create…this bookmark is to go inside by favourite cookbook.

Front

The bookmarks were painted using Inktense blocks and a touch of watercolour pencil.

I decorated with some twine and made a matched wooden embellishment to add to the ends.

Christmas Postage Stamps

 It’s a day late for Rudolph Day (aka 26th of the month) but made these tiny Christmas stamps and used them to make some cards. Stamp a really old one by High Hopes. 

Created inky backgrounds using mini stencils by That’s Crafty. 

Images were coloured using Promarkers.

The postage images were in a large set by Crafters Companion.

Ladybird Pegs

Made these altered wooden pegs to clip on the side of some of my house plant basket pots.

After a layer of gesso, I stamped this leaf design by Stampotique and then painted using Inktense blocks.

The finishing touch was the little wooden ladybird embellishment.

Merry Beary!

Made a couple of Christmas decorations which I plan on sending to people rather than a card.

I used three stencils to create the background.

Two by Crafters Workshop and One by My Favourite Things.

The cute beat image is part of a set by Funky Fossil and this was coloured using Promarkers.

The two card circles ai used with were stitched together using a sewing machine.

Floral Gate

 Made this special birthday card using large lolly sticks, which I inked and stamped with Distress inks and a wooden effect stamp by Stampers Anonymous.

The flowers and foliage stamps are my Crafty Individuals and were coloured using Promarkers with a touch of coloured pencils for extra shading.

GDT Penny’s Paper Crafty Challenge #595

Pleased to be chosen as one of the guest designers at Penny’s Paper Craft challenge.

Used a digital image designed by All Dressed Up called Spring Lamb who are sponsors of the new challenge.

Coloured with Promarkers and then inked the background, added more stamping and stencilling to complete the scene on my card. Added some dimension by decoupaging some of the image.
