Birthday Hugs

Sorry, another qickie post from me ... this is another card for a pressie stash for my doggy-lovin friend.
Image from Lili of the Valley, coloured with promarkers.  I took the hearts out of my die cut edge and added them as wee extra embellies, and then bling on top of that again.

Mum's Birthday card

It's Mum's birthday in a couple of days, so this one's hot off the press for her!  I've used my non-Christmassy Christmas DP and added a couple of poinsettia flowers.

LOTV Birthday

I'm nearly, but not quite, finished my stash of cards for Chrissy pressies, I'll be glad when I am!!
This one uses an old Lili of the Valley image and some new gold peeloff stickers.  Whimsy butterfly die.  Coloured with promarkers.  Pink bling added to butterfly.

Xmas Tags

I made a load of these Christmas tags with these cute images from CC Designs.  Couldn't get a decent pic though with the shine off my lovely wrapping paper!!

I just stamped my images, coloured with copics / promarkers, rounded the top corners and added a bit of washi tape to the bottom.  Simple and super quick! (... I made 4 of these in under 20 minutes!)

Xmas Card #28

Whaddyathink?  Too much snow?!!  I've never made a shaker card before and think I got a tad carried away with my flowersoft LOL!  Looks like there's a bit of a snowdrift going on there!

Xmas card #27

Yes, I confess, I got this stamp (from Little Claire Designs) because it had a Ruby-dog on it LOL!

I thought it looked a bit 'drab' after I took the pic, so I've since added some flower soft so that the doggies are standing in snow, and blinged up their collars and baubles.  Looks much more festive now!
