More Cards

Whilst approaching my last week with the Guest Design team. I wanted to showcase more products from her gorgeous store.

This time is the turn of Christmas. Although miles away = I tend to look at christmas products with an open mind this time of the year. The bargains and make christmas cards until at least May. I get to use my stamps more this way. Well, I least try (if I can avoid spending more).

So I wanted to show Milton With Poinsetta Stamp from Wild Rose Studio. Here are my cards:

Spiceberry

One of the reasons I discovered Crafty Emma Stores was because of this Memory Box Spiceberry Paper pad I saw in quick cards made easy. I fell in love with the paper and the card designs. The paper was gorgeous! I just had to have the pad after that. I mis read the article and thought it was available elsewhere after a couple of emails I realised my silly mistake.

I made this card using this paper and Wild Rose Studio Stamp - Ava With Present

New Year Card

I made this new year card using promarkers and a Forever Friends Number Stamp. Simple and cheap. The sentiment was printed off the pc. The coloured pink and blue are using promarkers. Bows and gems to add in for detail.

I only realised that the sentiment was wonky on the pic after the card had been posted. So I could not re take the photo.

You can get your range of promarkers singles and sets from Crafty Emmas Store at £1.75 each, which is a good price. I have seen stores charge as much £1.99 or more for singles. You can visit the selection of promarkers by clicking here

CES February's Guest Designer

I was delighted to be asked to be the guest designer over at CES Challenges just prior to the new year. Not only is Emma a great person, she runs a fantastic online store. Her customer services are excellent. With every purchase in her online store you are sent some raffle tickets for a chance at every month to win a voucher to spend in her store.

I discovered her online store when I was flipping through a magazine and saw some gorgeous cards made. I already owned the stamps, but admired the paper which Emma had in stock.

The challenge at CES Challenges this week is a theme of Red and Romance.  For this month, if the item is in stock at Crafty Emma's Stores I will link it up to the store if you are interested to purchase the item in the Product used list at the bottom of each post. Just hover over the text and click on the text, it will take you to the store where the item is located. Here is my card:

LOL, only if i took a picture of every stage of this card, the papers, the different things I did along the way.

This card uses Wild Rose Studio Lily with letter stamp. I gave her a hair cut and chopped off her wings. On the panel with the image, I edged it with promarker. Then used a red fine pen = to add dots all the way around. Then I added glitter to all the layers on the edge to give it that extra touch. Then some gems.

The background is achieved using Papermania Bird Song - Trellis stamps. Ideal for creating your own backgrounds - that is why I probably purchased it and the V&A mini stamps.

Papermania - Birdsong Trellis Stamp
