8x8 Lupin digi card

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all keeping warm and well. Brrrrrrrrrr, it was -7c when I got up at 6.30am! Not that I am complaining, we need it to kill off the bugs that are currently doing the rounds.

My card for today features a lovely lupin digi from Delicious Doodle and it is similar to, but not the same as, my delphinium card from a few days ago.

Basecard is 8x8 Papermania card blank. 

This is probably my favourite Delicious Doodles digi image, coloured with Copics, and cut with Spellbinders Grand Nestie, as is the pink mat. 

White panel is pearlised card from PDA, embossed with 8x8 Crafters Companion Distressed folder. 

Leaves cut with Marianne dies that I have had forever and never used before. 

Another very simple card :o)

Narrowboat reflections

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the unseasonal mildness, can't really say that I am, its not right. I prefer it when the seasons are defined by the weather!

I thought I would give you a brief break from the Christmas cards today, only today mind you :o)

Had a phone call from my cousin yesterday, she wants 40 Christmas cards so I had better get my skates on then. At least what she wants is a very simple design and all the same so I can set up a production line LOL.

How many of you knew that there were hands free can openers around. I didn't until I saw my daughter using one so I thought it would be ideal for Stephen as he is one handed since his stroke.

He is much more independent now, 2+ years after, but of course, tins defeat him. Anyhow, it arrived yesterday and it is the best invention ever, absolutely brilliant. You just put it on top of the tin, press the button and watch it do it's thing, amazing LOL.

Oooooops! I digress so on to my card for today :o)

My usual 5x7 card, folded and cut from an A4 sheet of white linencard.

My photograph,  taken at Trent Lock in June this year, feathered in PSP7 and printed onto the same white linencard, then cut with Grand Nestie, as is the blue layer.

Sentiment stamped and punched with SU.

This is my original photograph. The colour of the tarp on the boat seems to have changed with feathering :o)

Not my usual kind of image!

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world...hugs.

Isn't it wonderful to have the daylight hours lengthening, only about 3 more weeks to putting the clocks forward here in GB, and only 11 days to the first day of Spring :o)

My cards for today are quite different from my norm, I very rarely use "sweet or cute" images unless they are my own photographs of real animals etc. So please bear with me on these two cute LOTV stamped images, as I am not up to much on colouring them, especially the hair :o) 

The first one is my usual white linencard, folded and cut to 6x6.

The second basecard is Papermania 8x8 scalloped card.

Both images coloured with Copics then cut with Die-namics round stitched dies.

First mat cut with Spellbinders die using Papermania textured card.

Second mat cut with Grand Nestie usuing DCWV card.

Pearls on both also coloured to match with Copic pen.

White pearlised card embossed with Embossalicious A4 folder.

Corners cut for me by a friend.

Sentiment stamped with Woodware :o)

Just a little bit of fun

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well with you, or at least improving...hugs

Squirrel, I do hope that Vince wees soon so that you can both lower your stress levels...hugs

No word on my PC yet, still having to use this infernal laptop which has a screen less than half the size of my PC monitor, but at least typing is easier now cuz I bought a keyboard for it. 'Twas only a fiver from a well known supermarket and is a godsend!

Anyhow, onto my card for today. Just a bit of fun with another Googled PD image.

I just had to use this Santa when I saw it, I knew what I wanted to do immediately I laid eyes on it LOL. 

All card used is Papermania textured card. I added the words and speech bubble and printed in Word, then cut with Grand Nesties. I hope it makes you smile :o)

Black and white. You've seen the photographs now here are the cards

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world, and if it isn't then I hope it soon will be...hugs.

I couldn't make up my mind whether to make cards with these photographs but several of you made it up for me and here are the results :o)

Unfortunately, the first one looks a bit washed out in the pic but it is just as black as the second one. Both photographs are printed onto my favourite Papermania textured card then the first cut with guillotine and the second cut with Grand Nesties. Both are layered onto white linen card folded to A5. Foliage dies used are Marianne, Cheery Lynn and Sissix :o)

A couple more from the Norfolk broads

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well with you. I've given up discussing the weather!!!!!

Onto my cards which are part of the Norfolk Broads set I did with the beach huts and lighthouse which can be seen here

Base cards are white linen cut and folded to 5x7, images are, of course, my own photographs printed onto and backed with Bazzill, cut with Grand Nesties on the GC. Foliage is from Cheery Lynn and Marianne dies and sorry, not too sure of the stamps, possibly Hampton Arts inked with Memento London fog :o)

GC card for the box.....

.....and I sold it almost immediately :o)

Good morning Bloggers, I hope you are all well and happy, and if not then I hope you soon will be.....hugs

This is another one of those 'just becaue I wanted to' cards and I really enjoyed making it. We have just received our bonus from work, and I am breaking up tonight for a week, so I will be off to Byrkley Park to buy some more Grand Nesties, then I can make more shaped cards. Anyhow, on to my card for today :o)

It is A5 size, cut on the GC.

Basecard is Bazzill, backing paper is from stash, sorry no name on it. Same with the paper used for the flutterby and flowers!

Dies and punches used are Grand Nesties, Cheery Lyn, Marianne, Woodware and Xcut. It really is a very simple card :o)
