Christmas cards Galore

What a busy season this is!!!

I've been rushed to make Christmas cards, so these are just a few that I've managed to make!

The Santa's have been so much fun to do, and I'm planning on placing another order with Magnolia for new stamps ... so hopefully after the season I will have more to show you!!

So I'm taking this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year!!!

Card 54 - Nameday Card

This is a very special card for my niece Katerina ...

My nickname for her is Kitty ... so this image seems so fitting!

 

I just hope that she'll like it! 

Cards 52 & 53 - Happy Birthday

This time I've used the Magnolias on the interior!

 

I love this origami technique and it's a nice way to use up those busy pattern papers that I never know how to use on a layout ....

I've used Papermania flower/fairy series ... bazzil, unity stamps, magnolia stamps, shaker stickers, ribbons and lots of inking ....

Card 51 - Happy Birthday

Isn't this Tilda in her swimsuit soooo cute?
Promarkers, Basic Grey papers, the sentiment and corners are rubons.

Memories Trends July Challenge

This is my entry for the July Challenge for Memories Trend ... theme: sea waves!
Here are my nieces from last year, as they are enjoying the sea, diving in the waves, playing on the sand. Pattern paper is from Bella BLVD Swing in Spring collection, one of my Sarah's Cards kits ... Magnolia stamps, Quickutz dolphin diecut plus Dragonfly alphabet. The poem is printed on Nestibilities shape. I've used 3D foam squares to give more depth ... the 'waves' are Bazzil edges.

Some close-ups:

Card 50 - Thank you!

Another Thank you card, this time for the weekly Passion for ProMarkers challenge.
This time there was a twist, a sketch as well, and I love making this for my niece Sofia, who kindly sent me a letter and little present as well ... Bless her! :)

The two colours are Cocoa & Cornflower ... definitely work well together.

Card 49

This is a card I've made for my niece ... time to write them more letters! :)
It's the Magnolia cat, and seat from the Pet Collection ...
Pro markers, nestibilities, and ribbon! :)

Card 48 - Merry Holidays

Is it too early to start on Christmas cards? :)
This is for the Week 4 challenge on Passion for Promarkers.
The colours for this week is:

Berry Red & Royal Blue

I love these two colours ... I don't know if they can be considered Christmas colours, but I love the way they work together. I've used my Spellbinder nestibilities and my Cuttlebug folders ...

Ody's Book

Here is the book I made for Ody's Christening pages .... Just love this baby Edwin stamp!

ProMarkers used again ...

Card 47 - Christening card

Another combination of Magnolia stamps and Unity stamps ... the little boy is Magnolia and the sentiment, and frame is Unity stamps ... coloured in with Promarkers, basic grey paper, nestibililities label die, ribbon, brads, bazzil cardstock!

Birthday card 46

Here is a card that I've made, using the nestibilities that I've recently acquired!
They go thru the Bigshot quite well!

Thank you Mary!!!

This is a lovely card that I received in the mail at Easter ...
I've decided to share it with you ... I totally love it and it has inspired me to use pattern paper in my stamping images too! :)

Passion for Promarkers challenge week 2

This is a card that I've make for the Passion for Promarkers blog~!
They are new, and I love their ideas and tips, and it will get me inspired to used a combination of colours that I may not have used!!!
This week we had to use
Apple & Pastel Pink
and I've used just those to colours for the stamps clothes and wings ... I've used Ivory and Blush for the flesh ... what I love about ProMarkers is that you can go over and over again with the same colour to get a more darker shade ... this is what I've done with the wings!!!

Looking forward to the next challenge!!

Cards Galore - number 37 to 44

This past weekend, Saturday and Sunday I finally had a chance to pick up my Magnolias again ...
this impish one is part of another card, cleverly hidden away! LOL :)

I actually don't have these two stamps ... two friends kindly let me borrow them, and I stamped the image and made this birthday card!

This has to be my favourite Magnolia at the moment ....
I loved making the 3D image of it ... :)

Combination of Magnolia and Unity stamps ... a whole scene working here!

More Easter cards ... an early start for next year!

When I saw the stamp of Mrs Clause on the Magnolia site I saw a resemblance to my Mom and new that I just had to buy her! LOL
