Hi Everyone,

I have very busy lately creating samples for the shop. I never tie of creating after all these years. My husband gives me feedback on all my cards he says they are all wonderful I never make a bad card in his eyes. I love him for it. These a just a few of some samples I created this weekend from the Dazzles range of stickers using the new Simple Stories christmas range. I hope you enjoy them.

Punched Bo Bunny Cards

Hi Everyone,

Here I have used the Martha Stewart around the page punch sets with the Bo Bunny Gabriella papers. The second card was a challenge to use the butterfly bo bunny paper along with the string, die cut flourish etc. The first card is a result of making the first card as I liked experimenting with the punches. I hope you enjoy them as well.

Sakura Star Pens

Hi Everyone,

These cards have been created with stickers and sakura star pens. I have coloured from the back on velumn. They give a soft and gentle colouring finish. I've also used the pens to colour the embossed areas on the card front. These star pens work one velumn and cardstock surfaces, experiment with them and see the results.

Distress Reinkers Colouring

Hi Everyone,

Here is another medium you can use to colour your images. I used gloss cardstock and coloured with distress reinkers and a paint brush. It doesn't give you the depth of colour like copic pens but you can still get shading and dimension.

I created the frames using two spellbinder die cuts the outside one scalloped and a smaller inside plain circle. I put tape on them before die cutting so they don't move and the frame is cut evenly.

Have a try and see what you come up with.

Copic Colouring

Hi Everyone,

I created this card using the copic pens. I just love using them, colouring in from a very early age I get excited when using the copics as I can achieve the shading and dimension like no other colour medium. All the girls created this in our class and believe it they looked just the same as mine when they finished. I was very proud of them all.

She is one classy lady.

Hi Everyone,

I just loved the bright colours of these cards when I created them. These gorgeous butterfly stickers worked well with the colours. I'm amazed at how often I use the cuttlebug machine when making my cards, as you can see by these cards most. I hope you enjoy them as well.
