Sheep Seasons!

This was made for a competition

which wanted a card showing all four seasons. The sheep stamp is a Fiskars one, and I added seasonal scenery for each little picture, with lots of glitter and gems.

Spring bunny

This was a stamp that came as part of the January Do-craft goody bag. I like colouring in stamps, but I don't think I managed to get the colours here as intense as I wanted. The rabbit is matted onto green and orange papermania papers, and I added some gems as I usually do!

Pantomime card

This was made for a competition that asked for cards on a patomime theme. I have some lovely stamps from http://www.kirstenlappingdesigns.com/, and one of the princess ones looks like she is fleeing. So I used it and the shoe on cushion stamp from the same set, added a See-Ds clock (really a pcoket watch, but I trimmed it) and patterned paper to suggest a carpet and wallpaper background.

Glittered birthday card

This was for a competition, using Papermania products. The pink scalloped circle was handcut, as I don't have a die that shape. The presents were stsmped and coloured, and the swirls in the background are double-sided sticky shapes covered in lots of different colours of glitter - I like glitter!

Winning card

I've just heard that this card won a third prize in the X-cut section of Origin Publishing's Cardmaker of the Year contest. I won the title of Cardmaker of the Year two years ago, so it's good to find the magic still lingers!

Glitter tree

It's that time of year again - time to make Christmas cards! The tree was traced from a template, part of a set included with the latest issue of Simply Cards and Papercraft. I love filling in shapes with glue and covering them with glitter, so I used lots of blue and greens here. I added a peel-off greeting coloured green with marker pens, and some blue and purple sequins in the corner. I love making Christmas cards!

Visiting Hallmark

I was lucky enough to be one of the winners recently in a DOCrafts Creativity competition to create a Forever Friends card. Our prize was a visit to the Hallmark Studio in Yorkshire, and it was brilliant! We saw all round the Creative section, had a play with DoCrafts Forever Friends products, and came away with stacks of goodies. My favourite bit of the visit was the big notice in the foyer welcoming us! I made a very quick and simple layout for my scrapbook when I got back, using some of the stickers placed on white card and cut around to make die-cuts.
