James in Pink!

Hi Everyone

James the bear is my favourite character from Lili Of The Valley and I have made several Christmas Cards this year using him

Here is the card I have made for my Mother in Law this year using James Bear but I got him in touch with his feminine side and gave him a pink outfit!

This image is called James Santa Stop Here and I have coloured it using Copics and Diamond Sparkles Glitter 

I made a 6" Easel Card.  The pink Snowflake paper is from Digi Doodle Studios and you can find it in the Twinkle Berry Winter Digital Paper Pack 

I cut the image out using a Spellbinders Circle Die and then layered this onto a scalloped circle which I cut from a Spellbinders Scalloped Circle Die.  I added Lace Borders.  I used the sentiment as the "Stop" and added some punched snowflakes.  I popped on some clear pink heart gems to the centres

Beary Christmas!

Hi Everyone

I think I am just about finished with my Christmas Shopping.  How are you all getting on?

Today I am sharing with you the Christmas Card that I have made for my Husband.  

I do like to layer up an image and I just had to do this with this cute little image called James Christmas Tree from Lili Of The Valley Digi Shop 

I coloured the image using Copics and added Diamond Sparkles Glitter to his hat trim and bobble.  I then layered him onto dark green and a light green card layers.  I hand stamped the "To My Husband" sentiment using a Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad.  The stamp is from Stampingallday

Sparkly Dinosaur

Hi Everyone

Here I am sharing another inspiration for the Pink Gem Etsy Shop 


This gorgeous girly dinosaur is called Sparkle Dinosaur and I have coloured her with Copics. 

I saw a card recently that was laid out similar to this CAS card and I really wanted to have a go.  I love CAS but am not really very good at it myself lol!

I created the pink circle using a Memento Dew Drop ink pad and circle die and I used a Clear Star Gelly Pen to add some sparkly dots.  The verse is hand stamped using a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad and is from Stampingallday

We Three Kings!

Hi Everyone

It is my turn to share some inspiration with you for Digi Doodle Studios 



This month I have been playing with the new O'Holy Night Pairables and this is my first of two posts using this set.  The other post will be in two weeks time so please come back and visit to check this out! 

For this card I used a Creative Expressions Embossing Folder and put this around the images I coloured.  I rarely use embossing folders but found this at the bottom of my drawer unopened and felt the urge lol!

The images are coloured with Copics and a Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen.  The sentiment I hand stamped using a Memento Tuxedo Ink pad and is from Stampingallday.  I finished by adding Blue Pearl Gems
