Crimbo Crackers Challenge 50 - Quick and Easy

I'm having some real issues with Blogger and different interfaces - I schedule the posts and they either disappear or move on a year!  And half the time I have to use the html code tab as the 'compose' button does not work for me!  I've not been available today to check that the post has actually published so I'll have to find a way around that in the future!

Anyway, there is another new Crimbo Crackers challenge! The theme for the fortnight is:

Quick and Easy

And to show you just how quick and easy it can be, I made these 4 cards (variations on a theme) in about an hour!  I've used the same oh so cute Jellypark image - Angel Girl Nativity which I've coloured with Promarkers and added glitter glue to the wings.

I've also added glitter glue around the edge of the card.  Layered the image with offcuts of various coloured card and cardstock and then made the embellishment with a die cut and then a little star in the centre.  Minimal colouring and quick embellishments - the glitter glue took longer to dry than it did to make the cards!

Good luck with the Crimbo Crackers challenge - for more details pop over to the blog!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 14 - Angels

 It's time for another Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme this fortnight is:

Angels

I have two wonderful sponsors for the challenge - Funky Hand and Jellypark!  A download from Funky Hand and two digi's from Jellypark are the prizes for this challenge so two lucky winners!  A big thank you to Anice and Claire for their continuing generosity!

For my creation I have used two different Funky Hand products - the main backing paper is Rainbow Polkadots download and I've also used the Boys and Girls download behind the image which is no longer available.  And from Jellypark, I've used the Cute Little Angel stamp which has been coloured with Promarkers plus the obligatory glitter on her wings!

The ribbon is from my stash and I've had to do the one loop method as it wasn't long enough for a traditional two bow finish!  I've used my Sizzix snowflake die to cut sparkly paper and vellum and layered them up.

Good luck with the challenge!  For more details please pop over to Crimbo Crackers.

Simply Create Too Challenge 1 - Christmas

It's time for the first challenge at the new look Simply Create Too challenge blog! And its a lovely and easy theme for the next two weeks:

All About Christmas

So basically, anything Christmas goes! If you want more details and to see the rest of the Design Team creations, pop over to the challenge blog!


I've used this very sweet Angel Girl Nativity digi stamp from Jellypark (there is a 20% off sale on right now!!) and coloured her with Promarkers plus glitter glue. And I've made more than one card too!
I've used papers from Creativity by Crystal - Merry and Bright digi paper collection from Jessica Sprague - just two papers in each colourway - one mad bubbles and one plain and layered with the contrasting paper.

The sentiment stamp is a 99p Studio G acrylic stamp and I found some plastic star shaped clear beads in my stash and as I have loads of them, I used them on the cards as they looked quite Christmassy!
So that's another 6 cards off my total - very near my final goal!

Good luck with the Simply Create Too challenge and I hope you will join us! And as an extra special treat we are offering 3 sets of blog candy as prizes to the top three entrants as picked by the Design Team!

Jellypark Challenge 9 - Non Traditional Coloured Christmas

Another challenge awaits over on Jellypark!! And its:

Christmas Card with Non Traditional Colours

So green and red can only be used as accents! I've dug deep into my stash and found some Pink Petticoat papers from the Doodlicious Christmas collection which I don't is still available. I must have printed these papers off about 4 years ago as they were neat and tidy in their own clear filing pocket! Nowadays it just gets left in a big shoe box for me to rummage through!

I've used some silver paper for layering and of course a very cute Jellypark image called Angel Girl which has been coloured with Promarkers. A few half pearls from my stash and the card is complete!

Claire has also released two new images today and I'll be showing them over the weekend but if you can't wait, pop over to the challenge blog as they are on there now! Good luck with the challenge!
