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.

Apple Girl

Good afternoon! After the storms of last week the weather here has been exceptional, we've had temperatures in the 60s and lots of sunshine. It's all due to change soon and we'll be under the white blanket we're getting used to as part of Michigan winters!

 

Well It's Thursday which means new release day over at Julia Spiri!

 

This release is something a bit different, it's called the Fruity Girls and what fun they are! As my post title says I have had fun with Apple Girl!

 

 

Isn't she just the cutest! and her little pet is adorable!

I have colored her using Spectrum Noir Markers. I then matted her onto some red and orange card which coordinates with the design paper I chose from my stash. I them added some little heart stamps whilst maintaining my signature CAS look!

 

Apple Girl and her friends are available now over at Julia's Etsy Store along with all of Julia's fab designs so why not add them to your collection and join our challenge with them.

Something to be thankful for

Good morning,  I have a story behind my showcase card today - We are due to get new neighbors a single mom and her 2 daughters, they were supposed to move in last weekend however due to things outside of her control the sale of her house is taking longer than she expected and the move hasn't happened. She has packed up her belongings and is worried that she won't be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with her little girls as they are living with next to no cooking utensils or furniture.

We have great neighbors and they are always doing things to help out so I decided so pay this forward and have invited our soon to be neighbors for Thanksgiving dinner.

 

What better way to invite them than using So Suzy Stamps for an invitation:

 

 

I have used the Pumpkin Swirl stamp which I have colored with my Spectrum Noir Markers I added some color to the swirls to make them blend in with the image. I typed and printed the wording on my pc. I then used orange sheer ribbon across the top of the image card and rounded the corners so it would blend better with the scalloped card blank I used. I matted this onto some brown card and added some Lawn Fawn orange enamel dots. A very simple design but I think it turned out very pretty!

I have colored them with Spectrum Noir Markers adding a fine liner to the spines for extra dimension.

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

 

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