SPECIAL CARDS FOR 2 VERY SPECIAL LADIES.xx

good morning all.today i have these 2 cards to share with you.these have been made for 2 of my docrafting friends.they are really special ladies and i value their freindship a lot so i have made them a special card each.i have used their favourite colours too.
both are made exactly the same just different coloured ink.
i stamped my own backgrounds with a snowflake stamp and black, pink/blue ink and lots of snowflake embossing powder.i then inked my cuttlebug folder again and ran through, inked the edges with black ink and tied a little black tuille around.the images are ones that i received from a very kind lady and i have inked them and then used lots of glitter on them but i can`t seem to get a piccy that shows it up but believe me they really are sparkly.the inside panel was hand stamped again and then a strip of black card and a stamps away sentiment.

i hope they will like their special cards and thankyou so much for popping by and taking a peek.please leave me a comment if you wish.ttfn and enjoy your days.luv coops.xx

this next one is a christmas card for my friend.i have used an anitas card blank, then i made my own backing paper by stamping a snowflake stamp in red and green ink all over, and faux stitching.i then inked all over my snowflake cuttlebug folder and ran it through my bigshot with white paper.i think it looks quite effective.i wrapped some sparkly ribbon around and mounted onto green card.i coloured the image with promarkers and used glossy accents on the bauble and then cut out with a nestie and inked the edges.i then used a papermania sentiment stamp and a few candy dots to finish.

a close up of the image.xx

and the inside.xx
this next one is for my aunty and family.i have used an anitas square card blank, then i made my own backing paper by stamping and embossing in gold the reindeer from the papermania joyeux noel stamp set.i then inked it all over in red.i stamped the greeting in black.the topper was made by stamping the reindeer image again in red and embossing with clear embossing powder.i then inked all over with black ink and then embossed round the edges with gold embossing powder.4 shimmers dots in the corners to finish.xx

a close up of the topper.xx

thankyou so much for popping by and please me a comment so i know you`ve visited.ttfn.luv coops.xx

well here is my mass production, i made 30 in all, 16 of this design and 14 of the ones lower down.these ones were all made using the papermania joyeux noel clear stamp set.the panels were made by stamping and embossing with white opaque embossing powder and then inking all over, mounted onto black card with a ribbon tied round.then i stamped the images and embossed with clear ep and lots of faux stitching and black pearls, the same sentiment used on all, inks used were metallic black, red, teal and blue.

i have to say i think these ones are my favourites and were a lot quicker to make too.

these ones were all made using papermania papers, stamps away scenic images and a pinkgem sentiment, oh and not forgetting the glitter hairspray which doesn`t show up.lol.

thanks so much for peeking at my mass productions.have a good day whatever you have planned.ttfn.luv coops.xx

these were both made almost the same, just different colours.using papers i kindly recieved from a fantastic luvly lady and the images are clear stamps by stamps away and they were a real bargain and stamp lovely.i have used a pinkgem sentiment stamp which again is getting a lot of use.

a close up of the images, both have been embossed with snowflake twinkle embossing powder but it doesn`t show up in the piccys.

hope you like these 2, i got to say i am not keen on the lilac one at all, just doesn`t seem to look right but thanks for peeking anyway.lol.

please leave me a comment so i know you`ve popped in.ttfn luv coops.xx
