Have A Nice Day

I have a summer themed card to share today, a bit of a change from yesterday's Christmas card.

I have used another of my Studio Light kits, it's so nice to be using some of my accumulated stash.

Snuggle Christmas

It's time for a new challenge at Christmas with the Cuties and the theme for this one is Snuggly Bears.

I actually used an ultimate kit from Paper Creator's Crafts, reproduced under licence and coloured by Paper Creator.

The papers are part of the Paper Creator kit, I have added some hand made card candi and a sentiment from my stash.

Good Friends

I have a 'just because' card to share today.  I'm quite enjoying my more relaxed crafting now that I have stepped down from most of my Design Teams.

I have used a super kit from the NitWit Gratitude Collection.

You could just print it out and add it to a card base, but of course I decided to print it several times, do lots of fussy cutting and layer it up with foam pads.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Anyone for an Ice Cream?

You might remember seeing a card quite similar to this on my blog last Monday.  I created it for the Ooh La La Creations Challenge and as there are lots of toppers in each collection I thought I would use another one to create a second card as a mid challenge reminder.

The lovely bright and cheerful topper and papers are from the Ooh La La Creations The Shawn Jenkins Collection CD.

I have used red card stock and ribbon from my stash and added some hand made card candi.

The forecast for this week is for some lovely hot, sunny weather so I thought this card would fit the bill quite nicely.

There is a wonderful variety of collections on The Shawn Jenkins Collection CD, suitable for both male and female and even a Christmas section.

Vintage Butterfly

I have been playing with my Joanna Sheen stash again, this time I have used the Jane Shasky Vintage Butterfly card-making pad.

I have created a card for my mum to give my sister.  I used both sheets so that I could add a base layer and decoupage the butterfly.  I computer generated the sentiment and added some gems from my stash.

Enjoy the small moments

You might remember a little while ago I posted an easel card using this collection, well this was version one - I decided to create a simpler version because I needed to post the card.

I have used a design sheet from the Crafter's Companion Downton Abbey CD.  I have used the matcing papers and some card stock to add lots of additional layers and I decoupaged the glass on the image.

I have also decorated the inside of the card.

Floral Easel

I have another birthday card to share today - this one is for my sister.

I have used my Joanna Sheen Jane Shasky Double CD, there are some beautiful floral images on this CD.

I decided to create an easel card and printed the topper a couple of times so that I could add some decoupage layers, I also used the matching papers.

I computer generated the sentiment and added some pearls from my stash.

Be the Sailboat

We have lots of birthdays in our family over the next couple of months so I am trying to get ahead with my birthday cards.  I created this card for my Brother-in-Law, it is his birthday next month, I know he doesn't look at my blog so I'm quite safe.

I used a kit from Paper Creator's Crafts called Sailboat, the kit is designed to create a 6 x 6" card but I decided to create a side step card.

The image is decoupaged and I computer generated the sentiment - the anchor is a Joy Crafts die.
