Rejoice in the Risen Lord

I used Hunkydory Easter Wishes kit to make this beautiful Easter card. I made up the 3D-decoupage topper, using the die-cut elements, and added a sentiment before mounting onto a 5×7 card blank. I then used a craft knife to cut adound the topper, through both layers, to make a standing cross. Thank you Hunkydory for producing such a beautiful kit.

Creative Moments Challenge – Ribbons and bows

Hello everyone – I am sorry I have neglected you over the last few months, but I am back!

And I am returning full of the Christmas spirit with this seasonal cards.  I have made dozens of Christmas cards and I find the faith cards sell so well at the craft fairs I attend, plus I can send those left to people I know.

I have made a card without a bow for the Creative Moments challenge, but as ever the theme is optional – you can enter here or do visit to take a look at what the rest of the DT have created.  I am using a digi called Bethlehem with verse from Eureka.  It is coloured using Promarkers in gradiated shades of blue, with a little metalic gold for the star and the stable – I love blue and gold at Christmas 🙂

Creative Moments Challenge – Anything goes (But it is Christmas!)

Am I cheeky to call my own card a stunner?  I had to do so little to this wonderful, season digistamp from Eureka to make this card for the new Creative Moments challenge.  I coloured with just Tim Holtz distress inks and brushes.

I added the sentiment – and this was the last card I made this year.  Very simple and very lovely.

The miracle of Christmas

I have made a huge batch of Christmas cards using Hunkydory’s Miracle of Christmas pack.   This car is my favourite.  It is not clear in the mage, but the frame around the main topper is raised on foam pads as it the sentiment.

Three Kings

Athough I love using and colouring digi stamps, every now and again I like to get out proper wood-mounted rubber stamps.  Here I have used two and then embossed the images with black embossing powder.  It seems strange to use black on a Christmas card (and indeed as I schoolgirl i was once marked down for designing a wrapping paper that had a black background) but with with the silver foil on the Kanban backing paper, I still see the light in this card.

A beautifully peaceful card for you today as we are in the period of lent.  For today’s Creative Moments card I am delighted to be able to use This beautiful digi stamp from Mari Digis.

For Easter

This is one of my Easter cards this year.   I have made the decoupaged topper using DoCrafts products and the Blessings wording is a Clarity stamp that has been embossed in silver to match the mats behind the topper.
