1st Christmas Card of 2011

Afternoon! 

How are we all today?  I have been very busy inking up all my new stamps! but I did have a slight accident with one! I love to have my stamps mounted so they are quicker to stick to my block and so I can get on! Well stood there happily mounting yesterday and one of my new stamps (never inked) had the top of her shoe cut off! I was so up-set, think i will still be able to use her though! Will just have to get good at drawing the end of her shoe in! 

Well I have been colouring too and today I have managed to create a card! At last I hear you cry! and to top it all, its a Christmas Card! Im so happy with my self! Trying to get organised while I can, still no news on the house and so I think with it being nearly September I should get on with Christmas just incase it all happens around then! 

This is one of the beautiful stamps from Sugar Nellies called Puss in Boots available from here.  Those robins are just adorable! and the cat has such a smile on his face, what a lovely festive stamp! 

I stamped the image and cut around the shape using my nestabilities, I love this shape at the moment! You will be seeing it a lot! I sis cheet, I cannot get to grips with the whole cutting in here and laying it over the top on the nesties, so i penciled the shape around the image and cut it by hand.  The lovely little sparkles are from Papermania, i purchased a load of them a few weeks ago, they are all different sizes and give fab effects!

The sentiment I have used is from Lili of the valley, I love the sentiments, so quick and easy to use but give such fab effects! 

Well i hope you like my card, I would like to enter this card into a few challenges;

Evening all, well how are we?  Well I have been spending a lot of time colouring as the Mojo kind of disappeared! but i think its coming back now.  I have had one of those evenings, where I have been colouring lots all at the same time I have been keeping notes as to what colours I used so I can share them with you... well do you think i can find the book with it all in?! NO, its done a bunk on me and i'm not happy as it had a few images in with it too, I mean its an A4 book - How do you loose and A4 book?!? 

Lets start on the important notes!

1st of all I need to tell you all about the big 1st birthday bash that will be happening over at the top tip tuesday bog on the 6th September!!

I have a little thing at the moment for Sugar Nellie Stamps... they are all so lovely and the draw is overflowing with stamps again now! If you haven't seen them before you need to pop to Funky Kits, such a fab service!!! So I decided that I was going to enter a card to the sketch at the Sugar Bowl,

When i look a all the other entries... well i know i could have done better but i'm not used to sketches and i still struggle with using different papers together... I get so scared!!! But i have tried and for me at the moment its better than having not done anything at all!!! 

Now i can tell you that the pillows were coloured using my new 'flex markers', yes I caved in and purchased them... still getting used to them but so far, I like them, cant wait for the new colours in sept! I cant even tell you what the papers as they are all scraps from the draw!

Top Tip Tuesday #46 Strait Edges

Morning all well its been a while, what with school holidays, visiting family for a few days and then having nasty colds i haven't been up to much! Not had the energy to craft and the 'crafty bug' did a bunk again, but the good news is that everything is on the up! Im feeling better and kids holidays are perking up with the weather being more positive! 

Unfortunately I havent a card to share with you this week, but I so hope you will join in with the challenge over at Top Tip Tuesday this week, its a nice easy one...

Strait Edges

I feel pretty pants for it as I wish I had felt up to it a bit more! But it was a bit of a scary week for me this week as I have done my 1st tutorial for Top Tip Tuesday! Oh boy did I panic about it, hoped all week last week that I would have the get up and go to do it earlier and play a bit more my-self, but it wasn't until Sunday that I got the energy! Since then I have done nothing but craft! 

Well I look forward to seeing your creations this week and I will be back later with some of my own to share with you

Im sorry! 

Here she is up close, I know that I did use some of the new fine tips for the pro-markers on her, they are fab to work with! I have got to get some more of them! 

The papers are from one of the 1st stacks I brought, The wording is cut out from one of the pages.  I have always loved the look of the pages with the blocks of wording on them but never been able to use them... till this project, I will use the rest of the sheet soon i'm sure!

Hello.....

Afternoon all! Well its been over a week since I posted and I have been non stop! Had so much going on, trying to keep the house tidy, orders and people wanting samples! But were catching up slowly! As some of you may have seen I haven't posted for Incy Wincy Designs for a couple of weeks, everything is getting on top of me and so I have had to stand down for a while till life calms down (if that ever happens?).  I thought I would pop by and share a card I made for a friend of mine, she came up asking if i had a Christening card in my 'magic box' as she calls it! As it was I didn't and so I made her one up! 

I used a beautiful stamp available from Lili Of The Valley, I coloured it using my pro-markers, I cut the shapes using my Nestabilities also the tag shape is cut from a new set of nesties, with pink and white ribbon threaded through. The swirl of pearls was created using a template. I added the flowers using silicone. 

I would like to enter this card to the following challenges;

Aud Sentiments Challenge - at least two words

Charisma Cardz Challenge - Flowers

I hope you like my card, Thanks for stopping by!
