I love the way we can use any colour for Christmas these days.  This stocking image is perfect to play about and experiment with different colour combos



I went for a modern look - and experimented with the new colour shading technique.  There are 3 chipboard tags on a silver ribbon and the greeting is part of the patterned paper underneath

First an apology for being a bit of turkey (yes, seasonal pun intended).  I've no idea why the image from my last post (Zeke the Turkey) disappeared... but it's fixed, and visible now!

I had a ball creating this card using the Give Thanks image, which is in store now!  This is not your average turkey.... not in my peacock colours at least!


The image is coloured completely in Stardust glitter pens, so he really shimmers and sparkles! He is layered onto a sandpapered textured card, and fixed to a metallic olive green cardbase. I left the background white, to make the turkey really bold in his colours!  You can find this creation at my personal blog, and you're all invited to visit (there are many SNB creations there)!

Pop into the SNB Shop to see the entire range of digital images.... you won't be disappointed!

 Happy Thanksgiving for those of you that share this holiday!

This is the Squared Reindeer from the SNB store.  You can find it here.  I made two versions of the reindeer by paper piecing it and then using the leftovers for the second card.  No coloring on this card.

Nativity

Hi, and welcome!

It's my turn again to bring you a lovely digi stamp from the store..........


Such a sweet image......

I wanted to keep the card simple,  so the real focus would be on the message in this so sweet image......I used Hot Off The Press papers......a little paper straw, and a sentiment.......

Such a lovely way to send a Christmas greeting......
If you'd like to see more of this card, you'd be very welcome over at my personal blog......
See you Saturday!

We are into the fever of Christmas properly now, and I just love this modern tree image - sucker for trees anyway.

as it is such a modern image you can really go for a colourful look too. 

I printed 2 image - but I have the second one a little bit smaller than the base - so that when I cut out and layered up the trees I would get a shadow effect.  The base layer is coloured plainly with Copics and the top layer is coloured with sparkly gel pens and pearl drops.  I cut round the image - matted it - and raised it on the card.  Then made of of my fave shaggy bows with a bell - super cool

Gobble Gobble!

I had so much fun creating this napkin holder using the Zeke the Turkey image! He's in store now, and ready to help with your Thanksgiving decorations and greetings!

I printed and trimmed several images of Zeke, then coloured with markers and water pen, and Stardust glitter pens. The multiple layers are all edged in blac, and fixed together, a la paper tole. I finally added rhinestones, and googly eyes to complete the image. I simply added a ring of cardstock at the back, and voila! You can find this creation at my personal blog, and you're all invited to visit (there are many SNB creations there)!

Chick Love

 Hi, Grandma Bonnie filling in for Thursday again.
I thought this card had a fall and yet a spring look to it and thought i'd share this one.  I used "Chick Love" and it can be found here.
Here is what i made:
This would be a great anniversary card or a "Happy Birthday" from the both of us.

I love these garden gnomes - they look such happy chappies - not a huge fan of those over the top garden ones though!

So I used much more muted colouring (copics) - and matched them up with a delicate pattern paper and a bit of old gold pearl matting.

I love the way the tummies have come out - they really do look round

Thanks Squared

Hi, Grandma Bonnie sharing with you... I've been inspired by this image and a blog post with a Thanksgiving centerpiece that my friend, Jenee, shared with me.  The image i used is called "Thanks Squared" and can be found here.


What i did:
I printed the image 3 times once using white cardstock, metallic brown cardstock and metallic red cardstock. I cut out the image and decided not to use the "thanks". I stamped the white cardstock turkey image using a "letter writing" stamp. Then i colored in the beak, and striped feathers.  I added a dotted colored background.  Next i paper pieced the turkey and feathers.

Using my cricut i cut out various leaves and an acorn and a lattice band.  I took out my battery operated candle and a glass plate i had purchased at a charity shop to use for a craft.  I decorated the lattice band with the turkey and leaves.  Then i flipped the plate upside down because the base was the perfect size for my candle.  I added the leaves and acorns on the plate.  No worries about the candle catching the paper on fire using the battery operated one.



I have made a video showing how i made this centerpiece here.

Aid You

Hi Grandma Bonnie...
I am filling in for one of our DT members and have chosen to use "Aid You" for a reason.  Our lovely designer/artist, Alison, isn't feeling well and i wanted to make this in honor of her.
Isn't this the cutest image ever???

This is what i did:


I purchased a soup bowl and filled it with a Chicken Soup packet, tissues and crackers.  I make a band to go around the bowl with the band aid image and a get well tag.
