I am sure that you can come up with many more as you play with this set

So if you would like to have this gift then simply leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME and one will be chosen at random as the winner.

Please come back tomorrow to see if your name is listed as the winner.

Love ...

Hello Everybody,

I Coloured all the letters from the new Alphabet collection with Inks and shaded the ribbon and bow with Copics in three shades of green 

They have been embossed in  the leaf folder and then add with foam pads to the embossed Flourish panel

I dotted the ribbon and bow with a white pen.

Quick and easy to make and the finished size is 5x7.

This card has a message to you all and that is that I would LOVE you to join me on 

Craft Stash Facebook Live 20th December at 1pm

There will be prizes or you to win plus and look at some of my new collection

 More tomorrow

Coloured Image

Hello Everybody,

Today I wanted to share some images from the pen of Mo Manning   Her characters are delightful and I have bought quite a few digital images from her website in the past. 

Here I have used the same image in different colours to show you how versatile they can be.

I have added this one to a die cut background and added in some of my collection of flowers, ribbons and pearls to both cards

I will add the links at the bottom of the page for you to see what I have used.

For this one I coloured the dress in red and then added Nuvo Clear Glitter Gloss over the top .

I love the expression on this child's face and you can imagine her stomping off in a huff over some unintended  slight she has had

Take a look at some of the other characters on the Digital Pencil website

Alphabet and Numbers Collection

Hello Everybody,

Here we are a step nearer to Christmas.  Have you got everything ready for the holiday?  I have some new cards to share today with the latest collection of dies that I have and they are available at  Craft Stash   right now.

One of them is an Alphabet that will enable you to personalise any of your projects.

These are excellent for making two cards at the same time by using positive and negative die cuts.

For this card I cut the word JOY from white card and then add the words to the
  Snowflake panel

I spread glue over the letters and sprinkled them with glitter,  and added the stamped  Poinsettias behind 

I have added tiny diamante into the centres of each flower.

With the negative piece I have stencilled the top of it with the Flourish  and added faux stitching around the edge

The addition of the gemstone flourish makes it more luxurious

New Collections from Card Making Magic

Hello Everybody,

Today I wanted to share with you a brand new
 New Collection from Card Making Magic.
 I have a short video to show you the first part of it to help you make some lovely cards and next Thursday 20th December I am on Craft Stash Facebook Live so please join me

Having Letters and Numbers is always a good idea for your own collection and then you can personalise all your projects.

There are some lovely border dies in this section with more exciting additions in the New Year and so I hope you will keep visiting the blog pages to see what they are.

For this card I have coloured some white card in an Ombre fashion with shades of pink ink and then used one of the border dies to cut them out. 

They have been added to an embossed background on the card,  keeping the shading in order.  

I will be doing videos with all these new additions and don't forget to join
 me next week
20th December Craft Stash Facebook Live 

More tomorrow ...
