Christmas Cross

Hi Everyone, here is a DT card for Deedee's Digis who is sponsoring a challenge at Crafting by Designs with the theme "Getting Ready For Christmas."

I have had this particular kit "Seasonal Crosses" from Deedee a little while but I haven't used it and I don't know why, it really is lovely and for all year around. I used the sentiment from the Wise Men kit.

The image makes a quick card if you want and I made it quick with a simple embossing background, a navy card layer, some glitter glue and a pearl drop, quick and easy, although I'm happy it's quite effective.

Polar Pals

Hi Everyone, I have a DT post for Deedee's Digis today, this is for the SSW2 Sketch Challenge that Deedee is sponsoring. However before we go to my card and the info, Deedee has a wonderful sale on, now is your chance to grab plenty of images, she is being VERY generous in her offer. 

Now onto my card, this was a great sketch to work with and I had great papers and images to work with from Deedee. I laid it out and coloured the bear and seal in PS, (I used the outline images in the kit) then saved it all as a png file and had my Cameo to print and cut the images. I then 3D'd the bear and seal. I am LOVING that feature. I think the most difficult thing I had to do on this card was get the 4 squares straight when glueing them down. LOL

Grateful

Hi Everyone, Deedee's Digis is sponsoring a challenge at Tuesday Throwdown with the theme being "Thank You".

My DT card is CAS style, I printed Deedee's paper out and embossed it with my Thank You embossing folder, then added the beautiful pumpkin candle and used one of her sentiments.
I saw the card by Paula Pascual on the Sissix blog and loved the simplicity of the design. I haven't added anything else, I didn't think it needed it.

Christmas Snowman

Hi Everyone my DT post for Deedee's Digis is for the Send a Smile 4 Kids which Deedee is sponsoring, the theme is Happy Holiday for kids.

I decided to do a shaped card again as I quite like the fact I don't have to cut it out, my Print and Cut feature on the Cameo does that, whew! I had seen quite a lot of snow globe cards over the years so decided to make one up in Photoshop, using the ready coloured image in the kit, and transfer it to the Cameo - job done, Oh! if only it was that easy LOL. Oh! no, took me a few times, before I got it right, oh! well!

Anyhow here it is, late finishing and bad light meant this had to be taken indoors.

Snowman is from the Cup of Cheer kit.

Door Home

Hi Everyone, a Deedee's DT card for the Crafter's Cafe challenge  the theme is black/orange/purple and didn't have to be a Halloween, so thought that's good, as I don't send Halloween cards, except to one of our neighbours who makes a big thing of it with their children, and I have already done one for them

 I digress - my card was decided about when I saw that one of the Team had used an image I hadn't seen before, (the wreath) so I thought I would use it and join it with one that I have used a few times, (the flower pot) so handy when you have ready coloured and outline images, to enable colouring any colour you want in the kits Deedee draws. I'm rambling today LOL.

Anyhow, I used a cut file of a door, and a die cut of leaves, then used print and cut on the Cameo for the wreath and fussy cut the flower pots, (I forgot to print from the Cameo duh!) I used a wall embossing folder for the background. Oh! yes I coloured the images in PS, but coloured over them with my Spectrum Noirs to add more colour and shading. I have to say I am quite pleased with how the colours look together, quite different from Halloween.

Christmas basket

Hi Everyone, a DT post for Deedee today and a reminder that you can get a free digi kit if you enter the challenge at Deedee's Digis Digi of the Month, follow the link - gotta be worth a go ay?

Anyhow, here's my version of the Christmas basket, you have 4 Seasons to choose from and a basket on it's own to put in whatever you want. I used the Outline image, but there are ready coloured images in the kit and sentiments too, a great kit to work with. I paper pieced the parcel, the bow and the napkins in PS, then coloured the rest digitally. After printing out, I glittered and 3D'd onto the card adding punched stars, with embossing I had already had on the card I used. Adding the sentiment which is also in the kit, amongst others.
