Get organised for Christmas- quick 5 minute cards

For this weeks  project I needed to get organised for Christmas!  My granddaughter who is only 4 wants a batch of small cards to send to her friends at school? “ I only need 30 Nana” lol! Hmmm so i decided to make quick 5 minute cards using 4 x 4 pre scored cards, printing pre coloured images I set to work, i also used  stencils to create a quick background and the sentiments were from a stamps set…. I think I can make 30 of these and be well prepared.

Jasper cat with balloon! Theme use animal no rabbits

Are you a cat person? ….me personally is allergic to cats but I absolutely adore them, so making a lovely cat card is somewhat comforting! 

This weeks team challenge was to create a shape down one edge, this card is a tri fold with a teardrop front panel, this was perfect to hold the fuzzy puff cat birthday image! He’s so adorable right?

I kept the colours a soft brown pallette and i think it suits this card perfectly?

Ocean Card - polkadoodles challenge

NELLY I simply  love colouring up little fishes, it’s something about how their personality bursts into life! So for this weeks project I have taken the fish digital stamp from Winnie starfish and. Coloured with zig watercolours.

a little stencilling in the background and textures using texture paste created the ocean feel.

I thought this card would work perfect for an anniversary card? What do you think?

All about Summer - pocket card

Summer is my favourite time of the year, what’s your favourite?

For this Pocket card I have used a chipboard tag and stamped the sentiment on it from perfect-wishes-flowers-botanicals-clear-stamp-set-for-card-making-craft-scrapbooking/  the design papers I use  were taken from daisy-days-beautiful-flower-floral-botanical-printable-digital-stamps-and-clipart-for-craft-card-making-junk-journals/ I couldn’t resist using the yellow design papers, because it’s a perfect colour associated with summer, right? I also popped some sunflower seeds in one of the pockets, again another summer flower. The seed packet and sign was taken from all-the-dirt-gardening-clear-stamps-for-card-making-craft-scrapbooking-mixed-media/

I hope you like this card as much as I?

Carry on crafting, and I’ll be back next Saturday with another post.
