Christmas Sweater Seth

I remember always getting clothes that were too big for Christmas. "You'll grow into it" was always the comment!  But poor Seth will possibly not grow into this!  Made using Christmas Sweater Seth from Dr Digi and coloured with Promarkers plus a sentiment from the Christmas Sentiments Sheet 01.  Paper is a really, really old one I found in my stash and went with the colours I'd used.

Lonely This Christmas

Here is the third and final card I have featured in the current issue of Making Cards magazine and I've used Lonely This Christmas by Dr Digi, coloured with Promarkers.   I've made the background by blending different shades of blue inks onto the card and once dry, I embossed it with a Gemini embossing folder.

I then dotted some white opal liquid pearls on some of the embossed areas so it looks like snow.

The sentiment has also been coloured with Promarkers and is from the Christmas Sentiments sheet 1, cut out and added to the card with foam pads.  The snow drifts at the front of the card have been cut from oddments of card left over from previous projects and are from Polkadoodles but are no longer available.

I'd Rather Be Watching I'm A Celebrity

Here is my second card to be featured in this months Making Cards magazine and this time features Christmas Party Colin from Dr Digi and I was asked as part of the DT, along with a sentiment from the Christmas Sentiments Sheet 1.  I've coloured the digi with Promarkers and used a stitched wavy die cut to layer the image on and to cut the opening side of the card.

To add a bit of interest, I've scored a line around the straight edges and used papers from Dovecraft Glad Tidings 6x6 pad.  There is a special discount code in the magazine plus lots of inspiration as well as the cover acrylic stamps!

Christmas Chris

I was recently asked to make 3 cards for the December issue of Making Cards magazine and here is the first one!  I've used Christmas Chris and added a sentiment from the Christmas Sentiments Sheet 1.  Chris has been coloured with Promarkers and I've added him to a circle of kraft card which I've folded in two to create a wobble card.

I had to carefully balance the sentiment on a cocktail stick so he wasn't lopsided!  Glossy accents added to his nose and the berries on the pud plus some doodling with a black fineliner pen and the card is complete!

Another of those handy gift card wallets. This time I've been rather good and have recycled a colleagues Graze box - the card is really decent quality and the inside pattern changes regularly.  Of course, I did let him finish the contents of the box!

I've used the wonderful Christmas Sentiments Sheet 01 from Dr Digi for the sentiment - quick and easy to use!
