Yellow and Grey - Christmas Elf

Good morning folks, I know it's February and I'm sharing a Christmas card ! but this is one of the ones I never got around to posting at Christmas, and I really do like it lol.

I used the MFT Santa's Elves, to stamp the images. Then I coloured them with Copic markers and cut them out with their matching dies.

For this little guy, I used a grey and mustard yellow colour scheme, and then used cardstock to match.

I used a MFT Zig Zag Stitched Circle die to cut a frame out of silver card, and then cut a circle window out of the yellow card. I backed this with some gold Christmas paper and a piece of snowy acetate.

I cut the yellow card down with a Stitched Rectangle die and put it onto a grey card blank.

Then I added the images with foam pads, stamped a sentiment from the set and used a Spellbinders corner die to add a little interest. Then I finished it off with a few silver sparkly enamel dots.

Hope you like it too, take care and I'll see you soon.

Muriel

Monday comes around so quick, doesn't it?

Today I have another Saturated Canary image called Muriel, to share with you.  I love the colours in this one.  They are all from the new Copic pens I bought last week. 

For those who are interested the dress and boots are coloured with E04, V12, V17 and C7.  The hair is E08, E29 and E49.  The lips are E04 and R29, while the skin is E00, E11 and E21, with R20 for her cheeks.

I chose pink and purple DPs from my stash and added Spellbinders Gold Corners.

This is a rolled flower with some paper flowers and fern leaves.

A close up of the corner.

So there she is.  Hope you like her.

Simple Male Cards

Good morning all, hope you are ready for a new week. I'm lucky enough to have another week off before I have to go back to work :o)) but poor old Jude has had to go back today :o(( But then again I think I need it, so much for coming home refreshed and ready to get back to some serious crafting. I have so far managed to make the grand total of 1 card since we got back last Thursday! and I can't share that as it's for my Daughter's birthday on Wednesday lol.  

So today's post is a couple of simple male cards that I made a few weeks ago. 

This one uses an embossing folder for the background and then I used the same embossing folder again on some yellow card. 

I cut a piece out and layered it over the top to give the Happy Birthday sentiment. Then I used Spellbinders Gold Corners One to cut a couple of pieces for the corners. 

I finished it off with some large yellow sticky numbers. 

I got inspiration for this second card from a Google search. I came across a very simple design for a male card which I just altered slightly so suit what I had in my scrap box. 

A simple Kraft card blank with a couple of pieces of torn paper on. 

Three buttons glued in between them and then finished off with a stamped sentiment. 

Both of these were really simple cards to make but still quite effective.

Hope you like them, see you soon.

Take care.

Owl always love you

Hello again! Jude here with another card made using a Saturated Canary image.  

The background paper is from the Curiosity Corner collection by Docrafts, that Jen used recently.  It has a lovely mix of colours in the papers.

Isn't she a sweetie?  I did a better job on her hair than my previous attempt, but still can't quite get the skin right.  On this version I've also stuck to a limited palette, as I'm guilty of using too many colours some times.

I layered the paper on to a 6 x 6 card blank.  As I didn't have a large enough piece of green card that matched my circle and corners I just ran a Promarker down the edges and put the paper on top.

I used a Tonic border punch for the butterfly background strip, and Spellbinders Gold Corners One; well for the corners lol!

Once I had all the pieces in place a few gems finished it off nicely.

Hope you like her.  TTFN Jude xx

Just for you

Good morning crafty friends, hope you are all well today. I finally got in the craft room yesterday and was able to make a card. 

The image is called Patches by Saturated Canary. I coloured her with Promarkers and cut her out with a circle die.

I used a 6x6 Kraft card blank for the base and then added Kaisercraft Sweet Pea papers with Coredinations card stock. 

I tied a bow to one side using pink silky crush ribbon and then added some flowers to the top.

I finished the card off using a Gold Corner die, and adding some string pearls and a small sentiment tag.

Hope you like it, see you soon, take care.
