Mr. Hedgehog!

I used my square nesties on here, as well as the spots & dots cuttlebug embossing folder. The hedgehog has a stick on pearl on his nose! Cute huh! I also stuck some ribbon with "sweet" on it, across the bottom of the card. "Make a Wish" is a Hanna Stamp. This card & the following two were fairly simple cards to make & were inspired by some my friend PAT had made - she sent me photo's & I got inspired! I haven't done alot lately, mostly because of health challenges. I coloured this in using my copics & blended the colours on the heart using my blender pen rubbed across red then orange markers. I like the effects I get using that technique. Lots'a fun!

Thanks for visiting - see you nest time!

Sunshine!

I coloured the Traffic Lights embossing folder on th negative side (back) with yellow Brilliance ink, then run it through the cuttlebug to colour the background. The raised bits stay white. I used my square nesties & added some yellow ribbon to the bottom of the card. I coloured the sunshine with my copics. To blend the colurs I rub the blender marker across the orange marker (on the wide nib) & then colour with the blender marker. This technique shows up better on the hedgehog card in the post above. The sunshine has a stick on pearl on her nose!

Hopes & Dreams

I inked up the negative side (BACK) of my D'vine Swirls cuttlebug embossing folder with pale blue fluid chalk ink, then run it through the cuttlebug. It colours the background & the swirls stay nice & white!

You can use other inks, but permanent ink will stain your folder - so be aware of that!

I used my square nesties for the blue card behind the lady. The background card is white but looks pale blue on here! Oh yes, the other thing I did was to stick some tiny pearls onsome of the swirls.

Copics

...Just taking my copic markers for a test drive! This is the first time I've used them & I had fun with them! I found a great tutorial on blending them, on SCS. I used my oval nestabilities to cut out the blue & white ovals.

The copics blend really well...can't wait for the rest of them to arrive now!

I've also used stick on pearls on the top of the card. "You" & "Me" are 2 stick on's as well.

The "Forever friends" is printed ribbon. Oh yes, the stamp is from "Imaginations", G150.

Garland

I made this name garland using my classic circle nestabilities. I joined each letter with a piece of gold thread. It didn't take too long to make & was alot of fun! The recipient has now recieved it, so I can post it! I cut out the letters using my Cricut mchine. If you click on one of the photo's you will see each letter has self adhesive pearls stuck on them. Thanks for all your inspiration Cambria!

Cute Boxes!

Fill these cute boxes with candy, chocolates or...?!

Thes are simple to make & take only one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 inch card. I found them on SCS and they are called "2-5-7-10 Boxes". If you type that in you will find the tutorial for them. I didn't upload a tutorial as I ended up taking too many photo's. And I didn't want to delete any of the photo's & ruin the tutorial. If you have trouble finding the tutorial, email me & I can direct you to the site.

Fluid Chalk cards

Ok, so here are the two (very quick!) cards I did, using my cuttlebug folders & inking them up with Fluid Chalk ink. (Stamp pad)

These are just to show you what it looks like. The possibilities are endless I reckon! Here I have used the Stylized Flower & Tiny Bubbles folders. Try them all & see what you like best! They are fun & easy to do, so go ahead & try it!
