Jellypark Challenge 12 - ABC

We have a great challenge for you over at Jellypark Friends Friday Challenge and this fortnight the theme is:

ABC - Anything But A Card

I do like making these gift card holders and they are so easy and quick to make too! I've adapted my usual template as these papers all printed as 8x8 so I had less to use!

All the images are from Jellypark and all have been coloured with Promarkers. The papers are all from digi kits, and from left to right:

Echo Park - Sidewalk Chalk; Cosmo Cricket - Early Bird; Creativity by Crystal - Me and My Brother; Carina Gardner - Fresh Picked Collection; Creativity by Crystal - Me and My Brother.


And then I've used a contrasting paper from the same collection on the inside and added an offcut of card so a message can be written on. A bit of inking around the edges plus a brad to hold the two flaps together and some suitable ribbon etc and they are complete!


Good luck with the challenge! For more details, please visit the challenge blog!

And here is the final new release from Jellypark this weekend! I liked the stamp so much I made two cards (one is for my parents and the other is an order!) Isn't the stamp wonderful?!

For the first card I've used DCWV papers plus ribbon and diy Poinsettia's from my stash plus a computer generated sentiment. I've coloured the image with Aquamarkers.

The second card I've given to my parents and the papers are from the Merry and Bright digi collection from Creativity by Crystal plus some dark red card from my stash and a wonderful string of fairy lights!

Simply Create Too Challenge 1 - Christmas

It's time for the first challenge at the new look Simply Create Too challenge blog! And its a lovely and easy theme for the next two weeks:

All About Christmas

So basically, anything Christmas goes! If you want more details and to see the rest of the Design Team creations, pop over to the challenge blog!


I've used this very sweet Angel Girl Nativity digi stamp from Jellypark (there is a 20% off sale on right now!!) and coloured her with Promarkers plus glitter glue. And I've made more than one card too!
I've used papers from Creativity by Crystal - Merry and Bright digi paper collection from Jessica Sprague - just two papers in each colourway - one mad bubbles and one plain and layered with the contrasting paper.

The sentiment stamp is a 99p Studio G acrylic stamp and I found some plastic star shaped clear beads in my stash and as I have loads of them, I used them on the cards as they looked quite Christmassy!
So that's another 6 cards off my total - very near my final goal!

I've used papers from the digi pack - Creativity by Crystal called Merry and Bright, bought from Jessica Sprague.
