Crimbo Crackers Challenge - Christmas Red

It's time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme for the fortnight is Christmas Red. I've made this cute card using a Jellypark image, coloured it with Promarkers and added a Memory Box snowflake wreath die cut behind.

The red card for layering is from my stash along with the ribbon. The snowflake die is from Marianne Creatables and the tags are Sizzix diecuts. And I've added the punched heart from one of the tags to the centre of the snowflake. Oh, and the sentiments are handwritte.

Good luck with the challenge!

Jellypark Challenge - Christmas In July

I'm on a bit of a roll today - third post out of four, so stay tuned for another one to follow fairly shortly!!

It's time for a new Jellypark challenge and the theme is:

Christmas in July

I love my X Cut dies and this one has to be my favourite so I choose carefully which Jellypark image to use - its Girl and Christmas Stocking.  She's been coloured with Promarkers and a tiny bit of stickles on the top of the stocking.  I've layered the die cut image onto some pearlescent silver card as an extra layer and dotted a silver gel pen line around the edge.

The snowflakes have been cut with a Marianne Creatables die, one from silver pearlescent card and the other from vellum and a gold half pearl to the centre.  And some organza red ribbon for opulence!

Good luck with the challenge and pop over to the challenge blog to see more stunning examples!

Stockings At Christmas

As promised, here is the second of two new releases from Jellypark. This one features the Girl and Christmas Stocking image which I've coloured with Promarkers and a titchy bit of liquid pearls as I seem to be running out!


The card shape is one of the templates on the new Funky Hand cd Happy Happy Birthday and through the workspace part on the cd, I've pulled the paper through so it prints directly onto the template. I've simply added a line of glitter glue around the edge and tied a rather large red organza bow and finished it off with some green embroidery thread.

The red card that the image is layered on is from my stash and the sentiment comes with the image.

If you've not tried a Jellypark image yet then pop over to Claire's blog - she is the owner and illustrator and she has a few freebies on offer - be warned - you will like a lot!!
