I think I love him nearly as much as my all time favourite Fluffy! You can find all the details on how to get hold of him on the Pollycraft blog. I coloured Gorgeous in with Promarkers to match my checked DCWV paper and then added him to a square of kraft card which I had stamped with a Cat's Life Press stamp. I sewed around the edges with red thread and then finished with a button tied with string.
I printed the sentiment on the computer, added a bit of stitching, some felt star brads and the fabulous image on foam pads for a quick but fun card.
Anice also has some bargains for you on the Funky Hand website...
I coloured them with my Promarkers and added them to a card made with a gorgeous Pink Paislee paper available from Crafty Emma's store. The sentiment was last week's freebie and it goes so well with the Penguin image.
The button, twine, ribbon are all from The Ribbon Girl, I am addicted to buying scrummy goodies from this lovely shop! I am also entering this card into the 1st Ribbon Girl challenge which is to use Orange, Black and White.
I am trying to be good and use up leftovers at the moment. The dotty paper is American crafts and was a square left in my scrap box as was the pink card. I coloured Cuthbert with Promarkers and added lots of stitching, some of my favourite ribbon, a little pearl and a button to finish the bow off.
I decide to create and underwater scene using K+CO papers for the Mermaid to swim around in. I coloured the image with Promarkers and added glitter and glossy accents to her tail. I added some Prima flowers for seaweed and dotted a few pearls around. The sentiment I used is Hero Arts.
I found something out yesterday that really shook me up, it's quite a long story so I will try and keep it brief. I normally take all the cards I don't use and sell them to a craft/gift shop which is my 'local'. I sell them for about £1.75 to £2.00 and the lady who runs the shop puts 50p on them before selling them. She told me yesterday they suspect one of the ladies who comes in and buys my cards is selling them on to another handmade card shop (who charge around £6.00 per card) and passing them on as her own!!! My cards have been seen there and apparently this woman has done this before. I couldn't believe it!! I was so upset and angry I stormed round to the card shop hoping to see one of my cards there with someone elses details there but they were all gone. I am going to keep an eye on this shop the next time I take a large batch of cards to sell. I was so angry and upset that someone would do this.
I used some of my scraps to make this card, the backing paper is from Crate Paper, I love it and I have another sheet of it I can't bring myself to cut into yet! I have treasured every scrap :-)
I cut a card from white card then cut a card front from yellow Bazzill card. I cut an aperture with a Nesties die then added a piece of the cloud paper to the card base. I added the yellpw frame on top with foam pads and the coloured owl which I had cut out was added into the frame with thicker foam pads. The sentiment was stamped on to white card and the sentence chopped into separate words. As a finishing touch, I added pearls and a Prima flower topped with a button.
The layout of the card is quite simple as the paper is quite busy, it is from American Crafts and I love the colour combination of yellow and purple. The felt flower ribbon is from Quixotic Paperie and the sentiment is Elzybells.
Paula is sharing a lovely image of a quirky little home this week, perfect New Home cards. I jst love the little trees either side of the house, and the clouds! I bought this paper last weekend at Flutterby crafts and I have just realised now that the trees on the paper are very similar to the trees on the image. I teamed it with some gingham paper and made a flower from felt, prima flowers and a button to match the colour scheme.
I used a dragon download from Dustin Pike. I altered it a bit added the red cross to the shield and a sentiment to the sign. I coloured him with Promarkers and decoupaged the shield to give some dimension.
I matted some DCWV boys stack paper on to red card after I had wrapped red cord around it, cut the coloured image out and added it to the card with foam pads. I tied a button on to the cord and added black gems to the corners of the card as a finishing touch.
I made a mini card, I think I am addicted to making these! I used some alligator glittered paper as a base and then layered up some yellow card and some blue sky paper. I inked every layer before sticking it down.
I used a backing paper I bought at Ally Pally to make a label shaped card with my Nestabilities and wrapped it with some lovely polka dot ribbon. I framed the image with some gorgeous Bobunny Double dot paper. I have lots of this in many colours but hate to cut it up and use it as it is so gorgeous!
I printed Codi on to linen cardstock and coloured her with my Promarkers. I added faux stitching around both the layers and wrapped black string around the top layer before putting them together.
The little flower is by Making Memories and the button is from my stash. The sentiment was printed on my PC using a font I downloaded from Two Peas.
I printed the image on to canvas texture card and coloured it in with Promarkers. I used a scalloped base card from Papermania and built up simple layers of dotty card from my scraps folder. The sentiment is by Hero Arts and the button was from Fabric land. I added some glossy accents to the heart dots and the eyes and finished off with some stick on gems.
