Myself and Choccy have used this gorgeous Baby Sleeping image from Sylvie Stamps and I have made my card suitable for a baby girl. The image has been coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers.

I covered my card blank with a new paper from the Papermania capsule collection that came in the new goody bag. I loved all the different pink papers and thought it would be perfect for this gorgeous image. I raised it from the main card on 3d foam squares.

The mat has been cut from an offcut of Cloud Nine paper from Fiskars and I used a strip of white card, punched with a Fiskars border punch and cut a strip of the striped paper that is from the same Cloud Nine baby girl pack. The ribbon is self adhesive and I used and embroidered pink bow from my stash. The 2 hearts and the sentiment are gel stickers.

Happy Birthday Paul


Yesterday it was my Hubby's birthday and I took him to see Grease the musical at the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham. It was a fab evening and they put on a really great show full of energy and all the songs you know and love.

For his Birthday card I made a gatefold design and covered it with a lovely metallic cardstock from my DCWV Mariposa stack. The dancing couple image is a freebie from the Creative Mind of Sylvie coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. As I had ordered the tickets online and had to pick them up at the box office I couldn't 'give' them to him so I printed some tickets and added the relevant text to it, he was really surprised I was taking him out and had bought him 2 new shirts so he could take his pick of what he wanted to wear.


Of course, being a gatefold card it had a nice surprise inside too J

2 Tickets to Strictly Come Dancing live for January. We have both really got into it this season and enjoy watching it snuggled up together on the sofa. I am so lucky that he likes dancey things and can enjoy them without feeling he is 'not a man' or his manliness is under question and he was delighted with this gift too.

I used some more of the same paper for the inside of the card and the dancers image is from Digi Darla, again coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. The sentiment is one I made up and is completely true. I am so lucky that after more than 22 years I love him to bits and he still makes my tummy tipple over inside.......

Materials Used in this card are as follows:-
Card Size – A5 Gatefold
Images – Creative Mind of Sylvie & Digi Darla
Paper – DCVW
Embellishments – Tickets by Dezinaworld
Tools – scissors, 3d foam, Promarkers, Flexmarkers

For my card this week I have used a traditional image of Santa from Sylvie Stamps. He completely reminds me of the Santa that my Grandad used to take us to visit at Lewis’ departments store in Leeds when I was a child. I don’t have any photo of me as a child but just before Grandad died he sent me a photo of me sitting on Santa’s knee and it is one of my most treasure possessions.

I coloured the image with Flexmarkers using a very pale grey for the facial hair with a slightly darker shade for the detail. I used an antique white for the pompom and fur on hat and then added some Stickles glitter glue over the top.

The traditional text paper is from an old DCWV stack and the sentiment is a glittered rub on from Dovecraft inside a nestabilities die cut. I added a few gems to finish off and used 3d foam to mount the image and sentiment panel.

I created an extra project this week to help out our fabulous Team Leader Choccy and used this gorgeous image Festive Friends by Sylvie Stamps. I adore animals and was drawn to this fun image of a girl playing dress up with her faithful companion.

I coloured the image with Promakers and Flexmarkers. I added some puffy snow but instead of puffing it up I sprinkles iridescent glitter on it. I also used some stickles glitter to add some more depth to the snowdrifts and some gently falling snowflakes in the background.

The card base is covered with a sparkly paper from Craftwork Cards and then I used a snowflake paper from DCWV. The paper is snippet from a 6” square pad and was just a little bit too small for the width so I cut it in 2 pieces as I was planning to put a contrast strip in there anyway. This is just a leftover snippet of striped paper from the same pack, edge with a Martha Stewart punch and some sheer blue and silver ribbon over the top. To finish I added a tag from Dovecraft embellished with some peel offs and Bakers Twine

My card for this challenge was made using a gorgeous stamp called Lylie by Sylvie's Stamps. It is the first time I have used one of her designs in and I really enjoyed colouring in all the intricate parts of this design.

The image is coloured with Promarkers and I used lots of different tones of blues throughout the card. It is not often I create a monochrome card but I felt it would suit this design really well. I printed just the lady for the second layer and used foam to create depth. The butterfly wings have been embellished with lots of gems and glitter.

I used a sketch from Sketches by Carly for the layout of the card. The top section is pale blue card which has been run through a Cuttlebug embossing folder which has butterflies on it. The bottom paper is from Papermania, ribbon from stash. The final touches are Prima flowers with gem centres and a sentiment from my stash which has been recycled from a shop bought card.

Materials Used in this card are as follows:-
Card Size - A5
Sketch - Sketches By Carly #35
Papers - Papermania striped paper and scrap card which has been embossed
