Sending Christmas Cuddles

Here is a Christmas card I have made using a kit from Hunkydory.  These kits are ideal for quick cards as there is no colouring to do.  They also have a luxury feel about them.  The only thing I have added are die cut snowflakes and some gems.

Internet Down!

I thought it was about time I made a humerous card and couldn't resist using this Bugaboo digi stamp.  I coloured my image with promarkers and a touch of crystal glaze on the water.  I backed it with Kraft cardstock to match the sink unit.  I used some old papers from Pink Petticoat on my base card and added some grossgrain ribbon.  I found a couple of flower buttons and after removing the shanks I added them to my card, along with a sentiment from Hunkydory.

Fabulous Spring Flowers

When I saw these fabulous flower dies from Hunkdory being used by other crafters I fell in love and just had to have them.  It has taken me a while to finally find them in stock.  Imagine my delight when they arrived and I could finally use them.  I must say, they cut perfectly.

I used some papers that I have had for over a decade as my backing paper and to cut my flowers from.  The leaves however have been stamped and heat embossed on vellum that I had coloured on the back with distress ink.  The sentiment is also from Hunkydory.

Dachshund Through The Snow...

This festive card is made using pre-coloured papercraft kits from Hunkydory.

Using my nestie dies I cut out and assembled a circular easel base card.  I then used the same die to cut the DP and attached to the base.  I then layered up the main image and attached with foam pads.  I also attached the sentiment with foam pads.

I must admit that although Easter allows you to eat chocolate without the guilt, I much prefer Spring as my favourite type of flowers start to bloom.  The Spring flowers make the place look more cheerful and shows you the promise of warmer weather, we hope.

Onto my card.  I don't usually make this size of card but thought I would have a go anyway.  My stamp is from Penny Black and I have coloured it with promarkers.  The DP is from Nitwits and the sentiment from Hunkydory.

Not a colour combo I would normally think of putting together so I really had to think what to do.  Guess that is why they are called challenges!

My stamp is from Pergamano and I coloured her with promarkers and added some crystal glaze.  The design paper is from Nitwits and the sentiment from Hunkydory.  I cut some washi tape to make fishtails and applied behind my image.

Snow Family

I just love the Hunkydory papercraft collections (pre-coloured), and have been stocking up on them lately, along with their Little Books.  They are not just ideal for when you don't have time for all the faffing about of stamping and colouring, but they make very elegant cards which are always favourably received.

Above is one of the many I have made recently and as you can see it is an easel card.  Having folded the card base I added a mat of silver mirri card followed by a mat of design paper (possilbly Papermania).  On the top part I then glued a die cut fir tree to the side before attaching my image with foam pads.  I then added a further two trees, all of which I edged with glitter glue.  A few die cut snowflakes with added gems finishes the top part.  On the bottom part I simply added a long panel cut from silver mirri card topped with design paper.  To this I added more snowflakes and a sentiment raised up with foam pads.
