Christmas in July

Hey it's Friday....... and today is Christmas in July at Stamp Something.. So this time I've done a bit of both digital and traditional stamping. 

Well here's a start with a simple & clean easy card to get me going, with a cute Silver & Purple colour combo..... I've used Digi Stamp Boutique Francis  and the sentiment is from last years Daisy & Dandelion Christmas Set.....

Must get my Christmas crafting head on, as none of my friends and family will be getting pretty cards this year, need to get organised and planning before it's too late!!!

I’ve coloured with Promarkers pens, decoupaged Francis, added some cute snowflakes in purple and sliver and as usual that all important little bit of glitter glue…

It’s Friday’s Challenge over at Stamp Something come and join in with us again this week and show us your creations!!!!!!

This week’s challenge is:

“Christmas in July"

Holly Christmas

Here is a Cute Christmas Card for you..... I've been really struggling this week to find my Christmas Mojo for a few challenges and really need to start making for my family & friends too.....

But this is such a cute digi for Di's Digi Downloads, so cute, I think I managed to create a simple cute card.  I've gone for traditional Christmas colours of Red & Green.....

Please pop by  Di's Digi Downloads - Holly Christmas 

I've also added some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers which I've coloured with my Promarkers and that all important glitter glue and some gold ribbon and a simple sentiment!

I've had a nightmare as my solid ink printer has ran out of ink and I've used all of my favourite printing paper too, so not a happy bunny as you can see some of my ink has run over the outline, sorry :(

I've also coloured my flowers in with my pens too, to match my colours....

So this week challenge at Crafty Sentiments Digi Blog is.....

2 embellishments

or

2 types of embellishments

For those of us who can stick to just 2 items!!!!

Challenges starts today Thursday 29nd July at 10:00 a.m. GMT

and will finish on Wednesday 4th August at 11.59 p.m GMT

So why not pop on over to Crafty Sentiment Digi Blog and join in with us.... We are very proud and lucky to be sponsored by Di's Digi Downloads this week!!!!!

Some little bits I've made.....

Yesterday my little simple gift boxes tutorial went live on Toucan Scraps Tutorial Blog, I used Birthday Pinks Paper Kit.... from Toucan Scraps Shop, please have a look I do appreciate any feedback.

Here are a few creations that have been half projects and now completed and uploaded to my PC....

And this is a card I've made using The Stamping Boutique - "Equestrian Audrey" - think I'll use this to set my next challenge over at The Latter Lounge - So theme must be sporting or animals or both! So look out soon for my challenge......

A cute "Cat in a Bra" card I made for my friends daughter, but had to be pink!

I love this Penny Black Stamp called A Uplifting Occasion! 

Here's a card for my friends boy as he was leaving primary school to go to comprehensive school!

I had this freebie digi on my system - will need to update where I got it from....

 This was a hard one from a young boy to a female teacher but not too girlie!  

Love to all Jo xxx

Monochromatic & 1 Colour Fun

Some Monochromatic fun.... I've had fun making this card, took me a while to decided what to do and how to do it!

Available from Stitchy Bear Shop

This a surprise for Susan as she is stepping down as a creator, but joining us as a DT...... and Stitchy and Sam had a wonderful idea for us in the A Team to all use Susan's papers!

So I hope you like how I've tries to get as many of your papers as I can on my card :)
