Papermania Christmas Card Selection

 Here are a selection of cards I made from a lovely Christmas set I got from Docrafts/Papermania.  I took the kit on holiday before Christmas and sat and made quite a few cards from it.

These are not my normal thing, but was very nice to sit and make on hols.

Victorian Christmas

This is a card I made for one of my friends for Christmas.  I can't for the life of me remember where the digi came from, but I have a few from this range.  I coloured her in with Promarkers and then mounted on one some Island Indigo Stampin Up card and punched the surround with a Martha Stewart edge and corner snowflake punch.  The background paper is an old My Minds Eye one.

Thanks for looking

Molly Bloom Set of Christmas Cards

 

Here are a set of three Christmas Cards that I made from the amazing Molly Bloom Christmas Magazine.  The magazine came with papers, ribbons, buttons and stamps and was a fantastic buy.  Unfortunately I only me these three cards from the kit but I am having a craft day with my friends in early January and we have decided we are going to spend the morning making cards for Christmas 2013 with this kit.

You can still get this great magazine from ebay if you want, it is well worth the meagre price of £7.99 or check out the Molly Bloom website for local stockists.

I will not try to keep my blog up to date every other day (mmmm, we'll see how that goes)

LOTV Pom Pom Girl Card

I made this card, again using some very old stash.  The papers and embellishments are all from a HOTP co-ordinated set that I loved but never used.

The stamp is a LOTV one, called Pom Pom, she is so cute.

Mo Manning Gaming Boy Card

Here is a card I made a while ago, as I keep forgetting to photograph my cards.

The card is made using a really old HOTP kit of paper and embellishments which included the papers in the background, the card ribbon border and the little family tag.  The kit also came with the co-ordinating button and ribbon, so really easy to make as everything was already there to match to.

Simply a bit of colouring on the Mo Manning digistamp and the card was made - hey presto!

Thanks for looking.

John Byars Guitar Player Vintage Card

Where does the time go?  Almost a month since my last post, yet I have made so many cards and not photographed them or blogged them.

I was asked at work to make a card for someone who was into guitars, art and photography so I had a look through my stash and came up with this guitar card.  I think it was what the lady wanted.  I do find it hard to make mens cards as I miss putting the ribbons and bows on so buttons and twine had to do on this occasion.

Papers are from Trimcraft - New Leaf paper pad

Stamp - John Byars for Papermania/Docrafts

Sentiment stamps - My Family from Stampin up

Buttons - My stash, no idea where from

Michael Powell Beach Huts Retirement Card

Here is a Michael Powell design of Beach Huts which I used for a recent retirement card.

The stamped image was coloured in with Promarkers to match the DCWV background striped paper.  I then mounted this onto DCWV textured card stock.  I stamped a LOTV sentiment and added this onto a scalloped circle punched out of some more textured card stock.

I think it worked quite well and the recipient was very happy.  Even more so as the boat has the same name as his beloved puppy, Molly.
