Naughty or Nice?

Time for another card swap - CM June swap cards – Christmas & Sketch (once again, I was extremely late in making and sending these cards)

Card #1 – Christmas

I struggled a little bit for this one ...... not quite in the Christmas spirit just yet LOL

 

But I went through my Christmas Stamps/Dies & papers and very slowly a plan came together.

 

I stamped up some images got from Facebook Marketplace (I think) and hand coloured with a soft watercolour using my inks, then added a touch of Kindy Glitz/Stickles.

 

The centre panel was trimmed, then affixed to some Christmas DP using double-sided tape, which was then attached for the 300gsm cardbase, again using DS tape.

I quite like the 'rustic' fun feel to this one.

 

Linking Card #1 with the following challenges:

Christmas Crafts All Year Round - July Challenge 'M, N, O'  - I chose 'N' Naughty or NiceCritter Crazy Challenge Blog #112  - cute reindeer & snowman critters

 

 

Card #2 – Sketch + Christmas

 

This card came together quite quickly, once I was in the Christmas mood :)

 

I have used some DP that came with my 2025 Secret Santa present - it has been such a great paper pad to have on hand.

 

I stamped up the Santa and sentiment from the MFT Jingle All the Way set and hand cut the Santa out.  I was going to just place the Santa on a diecut circle to fit with the sketch, but I remembered I had some 'wobbles' somewhere in my stash ....... 30 minutes later, I finally found them after putting them away somewhere safe  LOL

 

None of the usual bling for this card ...... but I am quite pleased with how this card turned out.

Birthday Candles

Time for another card swap - CM May swap cards – Candles & Sketch (I was extremely late in making and sending these cards)

Card #1 – Candles

I knew what I wanted to do for this theme :)  

I printed some candle digital images from LOTV and foiled them on gloss card, and cut the cardfront with some A6 dies.  I then coloured the candles using Copics.  I mounted the cardfront onto some coloured cardstock, then mounted the cardfront onto a 300 gsm base.

The gold foiling worked beautifully and I was very happy on how it turned out.

 

Linking Card #1 with the following challenges:

AAA Colourful: #29  (all the blues/pinks/greens)

 

 

Card #2 – Sketch

We had a sketch provided – although I did not stick to it precisely …

I used some Kaisercraft designer paper & stamps.  I was going to stamp the cupcake, but decided to fussy cut it from the DP, then mounted to front with 3D foam.

I used the other side of the DP for the background panel and stamped 'birthday wishes' onto coloured cardstock.  

I finished the card with my usual bling!

I am quite pleased with how this card turned out.
