Happy Christmas Eve!

I've only got to work half day today, yay. I can't wait to spend the next few days off spending time with my family. Here is my third and final card from my Me To You project.

For this card I used the Me To Yo Christmas Decoupage Pad & Paper Pad. I also added some pearls and ribbon to finish it all off. A super simple one when you have to create so many Christmas cards.

Hope you all enjoy the festive season whatever you have planned :)

Happy Christmas Santa

Happy Sunday, I hope you are all having a lovely relaxing weekend. I will try that but I am sure it won't work as it's my only day off before Christmas now so I will probably spend the rest of the day running around like a headless chicken! On another note here is my third and final card from my Santa project in Making Cards Magazine...

I've got to say I really enjoyed working with this collection. It was just so lovely to put together and I am loving the images and papers - well done Docrafts! For this card I used the Jolly Santa A4 Die Cut and Paper Pack. I also added some ribbon, lace, pearls, button and twine.

I will be back with more creations very soon :)

Not quite sure why it's come out so blue so apologies for that. Everything on this card was made using the Jolly Santa Die Cup and Paper Pack by Docrafts. I also added some ribbon, lace, pearls, twine and a button to finish.

Hope you have a great day whatever you are up to :)

Decorating The Tree

Afternoon people! 

Well for once I didn't get totally drenched on the school run but give it a couple of hours the afternoon run I probably will! So other than school runs I have been making lots of cards for my upcoming magazine projects. I thought I would share one of my Joanna Sheen cards that were made for Making Cards Magazine using the freebie papers...

 I'm normally  into the Victorian style but I think these bunnies are actually quite sweet. They look a lot like my Sylvanian Families scenes that I do on my other blog. Everything on this card is made using the free papers & toppers all I added was some kraft card, ribbon and a rhinestone cluster.

I will be back with more creations soon.

Merry & Bright Fairy

Good Morning :)

Today is the start of one of my Christmas projects that was recently in Crafts Beautiful Magazine. I really love The Hobby House Toppers and must get round to using them more. The designs are great and pre-coloured which is awesome for me as I'm always short of time lately.

For this card I used the Hobby House Christmas Magic Toppers and teamed them up with Dovecraft Glad Tidings Paper Pad which coordinates perfectly with these toppers. I mounted everything onto dark red card and added some lace, ribbon, pearls and a die cut sentiment.

You can also download my project free with full instructions here.

I will be back with my second card tomorrow.

Octavia Merry Christmas

 Hello, I am back as promised with my second card from my Octavia Frosted Winter project that was made for Making Cards Magazine...

Everything is pretty much from the Polkadoodles Frosted Winter Octavia CD Rom the sentiment, embellishments, image and papers that is. I mounted everything onto black card and distressed all the edges. There is loads of glitter on this too but it doesn't show up too well in pictures. I also added some gems to the Christmas tree along with some ribbon and a resin flower to finish.

Hope you have enjoyed my project and I will be back soon.

Octavia Christmas Wish

 As December is now upon us I think it's time to share lots of my Christmas makes that have been in the craft magazines lately. Many of these I made in June & July so I have been itching to share them all with you. Up first is one of my latest creations for Making Cards Magazine...

I absolutely LOVE how this card turned out. All the images, embellishments and papers are from the Polkadoodles Frosted Winter Octavia CD Rom. I love the icy and winter feel to these. Credit to Nikky for deigning such a fabulous CD Rom - it's awesome. I only added some lace and gems to this card oh and I also distressed the edges too.

I will be back tomorow with my other card from this project :)

Angel

Sorry I haven't been able to post anything for a little while. I have been having problems uploading photos to blogger across all my blogs and have seen many of you have too. It's so frustrating when that happens and you need it to work but hey fingers crossed this works! So here is another quick card that was in Making Cards Magazine made using the free papers.

Gotta say think this angel looks like a bit of a rascal! Aside from the papers I simply used some Die-namics Zig Zag Circles to cut the circle which was then embossed. I then added some ribbon and some gems, simples!

Back soon :)

Joy Crimbo

Today I thought I would share one of my cards that I made for Making Cards Magazine using the free papers that come with the magazine. I get to do these projects every month and they have to be simple and not using much else extra - I always enjoy doing them! 

I am loving last months Crimbo Girls how cute are they? I only used the free papers, a word die, pearls and I embossed the background - simples! I do rather like the clean and simple look and quite pleased how this one turned out.

I will be back with more creations next week :)

Have a great weekend.

Art Deco Part Two

Good Morning :)

Today I am back as promised to share with you my two final cards from my Art Deco project that was recently featured in Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine...

Each of these cards features Tattered Lace Dies. I am loving the vintage Typewriter, just something fab about it isn't there?! The papers are by Kaisercraft and they are absolutely beautiful. I also added some ribbon and gems/pearls to each of the cards to finish them off.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my cards for this project.

I will be back very soon more :)

Kitty xx

Art Deco Part One

Hello Peeps :)

Today I am sharing two of my cards from a project that was made for Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine. These are the first two from my Art Deco project...

I made both of these using Tattered Lace Dies teamed with Kaisercraft Papers. I also added some ribbon and pearls. Now this may shock you but normally I don't really 'do' Tattered Lace, I am not sure why as I know they are really popular but they just aren't me.  I was actually quite surprised how much I actually like these cards, maybe as I kept to my usual style, I do like vintage themes sometimes and I love the couple. Reminds me of Strictly Come Dancing! 

I will be back tomorrow with my other two 'Art Deco' cards :)

Toasty Greetings

Hello crafters :)

Have you seen the latest new MFT release? OMG it's amazing full of gorgeousness and so many must haves! I decided to use the new snowman stamp set for this card...

 The stamp set by MFT is called Toasty Greetings and features so many lovely images and sentiments to match. I coloured my snowman with Copics and added lots of glamour dust - can't have too much glitter at Christmas! I also used the Pierced Circle Frame Die-namics. I teamed up an old stencil with distress inks for the background and added some ribbon.

All the products can be found at My Mums Craft Shop.

I am off to the NEC tomorrow to stock up on some crafty essentials.

See you all soon :)
