Christmas: Sentiment with poinsettia

Sarah

These cards were created on 19th November; day 19 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Another couple of quick cards for the Christmas card stash made with the large sentiments; this time I paired them with a cute little poinsettia die set. How: I stamped the sentiments and coloured in the letters using… Continue reading Christmas: Sentiment with poinsettia

Christmas: Sentiment with resist background

Sarah

These cards were created on 20th November; day 20 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. I picked up this greetings stamp set so I would have some decent-sized sentiments that would work to create any last minute cards that are needed (there are always at least a couple). I made a couple of… Continue reading Christmas: Sentiment with resist background

Christmas: Painting with Copics

Sarah

This card was created on 21st November; day 21 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Skimming around Pinterest, I saw a Craftsy article on “watercolouring” with Copics and I was intrigued… I have a small selection of Various ink refills, so I thought I’d give it a go. How: First, open a window. I didn’t… Continue reading Christmas: Painting with Copics

Christmas: Poinsettia and pine

Sarah

These cards were created on 12th and 13th November; day 12 and 13 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Working my way through some of my unused stamps, I decided to use this poinsettia to make a couple of more traditionally styled Christmas cards. I kept the layouts simple, and stuck to a… Continue reading Christmas: Poinsettia and pine

Christmas: Poinsettia mouse

Sarah

This card was created on 28th November; day 28 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. I made this card with my mum in mind. I’m always on the lookout for cute critters when it comes to creating cards for her, and Diane Carubia’s mice are just adorable. How: I decided to have a… Continue reading Christmas: Poinsettia mouse

Christmas: Puppy with gift

Sarah

This card was created on 30th November; day 30 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. This was going to be my entry for this month’s progressive challenge over at Gerda Steiner Designs, but I’ve finally been caught out by last minute creations. Normally the link-up is open until the end of the last… Continue reading Christmas: Puppy with gift

Christmas: Yetis on stamped backgrounds

Sarah

I just love these yetis. Last year it was the Create A Smile santa that got used repeatedly; this year it’s these yetis. They are just too adorable. How: First I created a background panel by stamping lots of small images from the beast friends set. Once I’d coloured them, I was very brave and… Continue reading Christmas: Yetis on stamped backgrounds

Christmas: Trimming the tree

Sarah

This card was created on 8th November; day 8 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge. The latest challenge from The East Wind is a little different; rather than specifying a particular technique or element to incorporate, this time the challenge is to create a project based on a memory in honour of Alzheimer’s… Continue reading Christmas: Trimming the tree

Christmas: Sequin baubles

Sarah

I had a load of ideas for different ways to interpret the “circle” theme for this month’s Create A Smile challenge, but in the end I decided to do something a bit different and make a card with no stamping at all. A bit of an odd choice when coming up with a design for… Continue reading Christmas: Sequin baubles

Christmas: Girl with reindeer

Sarah

Christmas in July. I really don’t want to end up rushing to make cards in the run-up to Christmas like I did last year, so I’m making a start on them now. How: I printed the digi stamp on some Neenah solar white and coloured it with Copic markers, sticking with the traditional Christmas colour… Continue reading Christmas: Girl with reindeer
