Have a flipping Great Christmas

Good afternoon! As Christmas draws ever nearer I am finally getting on top of all the jobs I have to do!

Today I'm showcasing my last Christmas card for Jiggery Makery, Percy and Lily are back and once again they are smooching

Percy is getting a real smacker from Lily just look at him blush!!!!

I have colored them with my Spectrum Noir markers and added glitter to their hats and liquid pearls to Lily's necklace.

They have then been mounted onto red card before being matted onto some holly design paper from my stash. This again has been matted onto red card.

I have typed the sentiment on my PC and again matted this with the red card. 

Don't you think they are so cute!

Ready for the ball

Good morning, as Christmas draws ever nearer the Christmas parties start happening and what a great time to get dressed up in all your finest!

That's exactly what Victoria from Jiggery Makery has done. Dressed in all her finery she just waiting for her date to arrive.........

She has been colored using Spectrum Noirs and a few Spectrum Aqua pens and the colors are at the bottom of my post.

I matted her onto some black card and some digital design paper from Little Treasures. I added a red organza ribbon tied in a double bow and a few black pearls for embellishment,

Missy and her Mistletoe

Good Morning! Christmas is drawing near and we are far from ready but then where would be the excitement of the rush if everything was planned months ahead!

I'm showcasing Jiggery Makery's Missy digistamp today and she is a cutie!

Although she is in a Mrs. Claus outfit I thought I'd use green instead of the traditional red. I have colored her with my Spectrum Noir markers and glittered the edges of her dress and hat. She was then mounted her on red card stock. I have then used a digital design paper from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles for my background again matted on red card.

I have used a Crafter's Companion Sentiment stamp which fitted perfectly with Missy!

The ivy and skittles embellishments just complete the simple look!

You can find Missy over at Jiggery Makery's Etsy shop

Penguin Love

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am busy today preparing dinner for my family and our new neighbors.

 

That doesn't mean I can't find time to craft. It's my showcase day over at Jiggery Makery and I have been coloring up 2 adorable kissing penguins

 

Meet Percy and Lily:

 

 

Aren't they just the cutest??

 

I have colored them using my Spectrum Noir Markers then added glitter to the fur trim on their hats and liquid pearls to Lily's necklace. As it's Christmas I also used a fine liner to make Percy's scarf plaid.

 

I printed the sentiment using my PC. A little Merry Christmas ribbon and a few pearls colored the match finished the image.

I then matted this onto green card before adding to my white card blank.

 

A super cute card.

Oh! It's not Christmas yet!!!

Good afternoon, here's my 2nd post of the day and it's a Christmas card for a man!!

 

Jiggery Makery images are great for a bit of sexy fun and Juliet who I'm showcasing today is definitely up for a bit of fun with her cheeky smile and wink!

 

 

I have colored her with my Spectrum Noir markers - she needs no embellishment so I have just added a sentiment typed up on my pc and matted her on red card and gold Mirror card! A simple card but great for the man in your life!

 

Thanks for stopping by you can purchase Juliet over at  Jiggery Makery's Etsy store along with her other pin-up pals.

Naughty and Nice

Good morning, the weather has been so kind to us this week, temperatures topping out at 76 degrees in November - if you didn't see the bare trees you wouldn't believe that winter is on it's way!!!

 

 

Yes winter! but it brings Christmas with it and I've been working on another festive card using the gorgeous pin ups from Jiggery Makery

 

Meet Roxy

 

 

She ready and waiting to hang her star on your tree!

 

I have colored her with my Spectrum Noir markers and added dimensional glistening snow writer to her fur bits

 

The star has been colored using a Gelly Roll pen to give it a glittery effect

 

I then added the sentiment which is a Crafter's Companion Sentimentals stamp.

 

I matted her and some snowflake design paper onto black card before fixing to my card blank.

 

A few black pearls just finish the card

Witching Hour Tess

Good morning! It's less than a week to Halloween, I've bought the candy, Mollie wants to dress as a rainbow fairy and it looks as though we won't have snow this year!

 

I posted the delightful Tess from  Jiggery Makery last week and I'm back with her again - This time as a more traditional witch.

 

 

I have colored her in with my Spectrum Noir Markers and digitally added bats flying along with her. I then color tinted the edges of the card with distress ink and mounted her onto orange paper. I used a white card blank and added some Authentique Halloween design paper.

 

After fixing my image to the card I added some orange hotfix gems to match in with her flame colored hair!

 

You can buy Tess over at Jiggery Makery's Etsy store along with her other pin-up pals.

Tess and her broomstick!!

Good afternoon! The sun is shining and the leaves are turning gorgeous fall colors. I love this time of year it's just too bad that it symbolizes the cold weather will be here soon!

 

I'm over at Jiggery Makery today flying by with the gorgeous Tess!

 

 

 

 

She is too stunning to be your usual witch so I decided not to use her for a Halloween card. I have colored her using my Spectrum Noir Markers and mounted the image onto black card. I then made an easel card and matted this with black card and purple patterned paper. The image was then fixed to the easel part of the card.

 

The sentiment is one I have seen around quite a bit and felt it fitting! If you can't read it from the photo is says:

 

All Women are angels

And when someone breaks our wings

We just continue to fly on a broom stick

We are flexible like that

 

I typed it up on my Pc and printed it out, matted it onto black card and adhered it to the base of the card using foam pads so it acts as the stopper for the easel.

A few black enamel dots just add the finishing touches.

Kathy and her Sweaters!

Good afternoon I'm here again with my second blog post of the day!

 

It's my day to showcase over at Jiggery Makery and as it's cooled off a bit today I thought I'd make another Christmas card.

 

Kathy is making her second appearance on my blog in one of her wonderful sweaters

 

 

I have used an 8x8in card blank for this card and matted it with silver mirror card and the gorgeous snowflake paper from Lili of the Valley.

Kathy has been colored using my Spectrum Noir markers and I have glittered the white on her Santa hat.

I typed up the sentiment on my laptop - don't you find that aunts buy you the most obscure gifts at times????

I matted the image with Mirror card and placed it at a jaunty angle on my card.

The flower is made from 2 die cut lacy poinsettias and a crystal gem. I have then added card candi to the opposite corner to balance the card.

Hi Stacey

Good afternoon, It's been a busy week this week for my Hubby, he has been working long hours and putting in the work to go with them.

 

Today is my make for Jiggery Makery so I have made him a card to let him know how much I appreciate  all he does for our family. As it's from me to him I thought I'd go a bit cheeky...

 

 

 

I have used Stacey and colored her with Spectrum Noir Markers. Then typed the sentiment onto the image. I used pink card and some designer paper with hears on it to matt my card blank. I then colored ribbon and pearl heart embellishments in the same color as I used on the image. The ribbon I laid down the side of the card. positioned my image off center and added the pink hearts in a random pattern across the card.

You can buy the image over at Jiggery Makery's Etsy store along with her other pin-up pals.

Sewing Diva

Good Morning- what a quiet morning it is - the kids are back at school and Gizzie and I are enjoying the peace!

 

It's Thursday again and that means I get to showcase on the fab Jiggery Makery Facebook page. I have another wonderful pin-up:

 

Meet Darlene

 

 

She's getting a dress ready for a great night out!!!

 

I have colored the image using my Spectrum Noirs and matted her onto coordinating purple card. I have used papers from Do Crafts French Lavender capsule collection - the ditzy prints go well with the 50's theme. These have been matted onto the same purple card stock. The sentiment is a stamp from a magazine freebie.

 

Once again -in order to show the image in all it's splendor I have made a CAS card.

 

You can find Darlene and all her pin-up friends over at the Jiggery Makery Etsy store  and there is lots of inspiration on how the Design Team use them over on the Facebook group!

 

Veronica

Good afternoon, busy busy day for me today so a bit late with my blog.

 

I have another gorgeous Jiggery Makery Image to share with you today.

 

Veronica is wearing a stunning gown and is dressed up ready to party:

 

 

I have colored her with my Spectrum Noir markers. I have used some dark blue card and a patterned paper from my stash as mats on my card and then added Veronica. The sentiment is from Crafters Companion and I felt this was very fitting for the occasion :)

Not wanting to take away from this stunning image I have just added a few blue crystal gems to finish off the design.

 

Thanks for stopping by, Veronica can be found over at the Jiggery Makery Etsy shop if you care to take a look! You might just fall in love with all the gorgeous images over there.

 

 

Ugly Jumper

Good morning everyone, you would have thought Fall had already set in with the weather this week! We are promised summer will return this weekend!

 

Today is my showcase over at the Jiggery Makery Facebook group. As it's been so chilly I thought I'd make a Christmas card.

The pin-up I have used this week is Kathy and boy does she look unhappy!

 

 

Yes even pin-ups get to wear the ugly jumpers we all love to hate!

 

I have colored her with my Spectrum Noir Markers and added a touch of glitter to her hat. Once colored I printed out the wording on my PC then die cut the topper shape using a Spellbinder die. I matted my card blank with some red card and a sheet of Christmas paper from my stash. I then added a further piece of red card before adding my image topper. I have offset all the layers to work with the expression on Kathy's face LOL

 

I few star shaped tiny buttons just finish off the design

 

Thanks for stopping by, Kathy can be found in other jumper designs over at the Jiggery Makery Etsy shop if you care to take a look!



Hey Ginger

Good morning, I am here to share another beautiful image from Jiggery Makery. Adele designs some gorgeous pin up girls who are all available in her Etsy store.

For today's card I am using Ginger

 

 

here she is watering her sun flower!

 

I have colored her with Spectrum Noir markers and matted her onto pink card. I have then chosen a flowered patterned paper from my stash which matches tonally to the pink card to mat onto the white card blank.

Some flowers and some pink pearls are the only embellishments I think this card needed

A Jiggery Makery Birthday

Good morning! I have 2 things to share with you today, I have been given a temporary position on Jiggery Makery's Design Team.

Adele has some gorgeous pin-up digi stamps that are a little risqué without being over the top rude!

 

My second news is it is my Wonderful Hubby's birthday today and what better an occasion to share both bits of news!

I have made him a birthday card using Lucy - One of the images from Jiggery Makery

 

 

I have colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers - Having never colored so much skin, I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to get even skin tone color over all her body but I think I succeeded. This is also one of the first blondes I have done and am happy with they way the hair eventually turned out!

 

After coloring the image I printed the sentiment using my PC. This was then matted onto black card I then used a heart patterned paper from my stash as just a little color again matted onto black card and onto a white card. The images are so classy that I feel they do not need much embellishment.

 

You can find Lucy and many more pin-up images over at Jiggery Makery's Etsy shop and also you can call by their Facebook page for some great inspiration from the rest of the design team.
