Under The Tree

 

At Kate Hadfield Designs there are so many fabulous sets it is really easy to get inspired to use them. There are digital stamps which you can colour, coloured versions you can scrapbook or make into digital layouts. Papers, patterned overlays and doodles galore. No matter what your skill level there are so many goodies to play with.

One of the most fabulous things about being in this Creative Team is that we have free rein to make anything we want to using the sets in the shop. This is amazing for inspiring creativity as there are so many amazing packs to play with. I feel very, very lucky to be able to have this opportunity.

The main focus of this card is the Christmas tree and presents underneath. The images are from the Under The Tree kit. There are 3 gifts in this kit and I digitally placed two on each side underneath the tree before printing it out.

The base of the card and the image mat are a lovely encapsulated glitter card from Crafter's Companion which adds so much sparkle with no danger of shedding everywhere ( I am often sporting some glitter on my face or clothes but some people are not so keen on the idea....)

The plaid paper is from a traditional pad from Craft Sensations. It's the perfect pattern to go with this image as it picks us bothe red and green well and looks nice with the gold.

I added some star gems to the stars on the image and some large circular ones to the baubles.

Finally the sentiment is a recycled one from a shop bought card, trimmed down, matted with a scrap of gold paper and a couple of small gems that cover tiny gold stars.

Kate is really generous with her freebies which are readily available. If you sign up to the newsletter you get access to an extra subscriber area the Doodle Den where there are loads more freebies. There is a gallery full of projects by the Creative Team and customers and so much inspiration for crafters and teachers. I would highly recommend you pop over there and join in the fun.

Beccy’s Place Challenges - Month of Holiday Cards Day 24 - U is for Under The Tree

Say Cheese

 

Beccy's Place runs a month of Holiday Cards challenge throughout November. Most days are a prompt with the letter of the alphabet but as there are only 26 then we get a random prompt too.

The prompt for Day 20 is R - My card is R for Reindeer & Red

This card is another commission for my friend. This is for his adult son and the very loose brief was reindeers. I rifled through my digital images and found this polaroid style image of reindeers posing for the camera which I thought was quite humorous. It gave me the perfect place to position a personalised sentiment too. This was printed out and coloured with Promarkers and a gold gel pen for highlights. The squiggles were already in the background so I added some more dots of red marker and a gold glitter marker to fill the space up more.

The patterned paper reminded me of a Christmas jumper but all the green is encapsulated glitter so it has some texture and sparkle.

The base card is made from a sheet of A4 gold metallic card and the image was matted in the same and popped up on foam pads.

Finally I added some sisal string and a cute tree charm and called it done.

This card has been made using the Wrap Up Warm Doodles kit and it is the first time I have used it. 

 I love the cute images Kate produces and the bright colours are right up my street. The little penguin from this set is the star of the show and I chose the penguin paper for the background to compliment.

I used some silver paper to cover the base card and provide a mat for the image. I hen used an offcut of blue to provide the background for the sentiment which was recycled from another card and popped uo on foam dots.

As a finishing touch I added a green pom pom to the hat.

Christmas Dino

 

Beccy's Place runs a month of Holiday Cards challenge throughout November. Most days are a prompt with the letter of the alphabet but as there are only 26 then we get a random prompt too.

The prompt for Day 15 is Tartans, Plaids & Checks

Every now and again I get a request from a friend to make a card for them. I try to personalise them to the recipient as much as possible. Sometimes it is a loose brief, sometimes a bit more specific.

In this case I was asked to incorporate a dinosaur. I found this image in my digital stamps from Doodle Dragon Studios. The dinosaur was without the sign, just his claws overhanging a wall or perhaps holding something so I drew a box on the computer and added the text before I printed it out.

This was then coloured with Promarkers and I would have added some glitter to the hat but was told in no uncertain terms that no glitter was allowed....

The base card was covered in the check paper in traditional Christmas colours as I thought this would be acceptable for a boy.

His Grandad loved it, I hope Austin does too.

Iced Christmas Cake

For this card I chose to use the yummy Christmas cake from Festive Fare Sweet Treats.

When I was growing up my parents did not have much money but always made a real effort at Christmas to have treats and goodies such as a tin of Quality Street or Roses, sherry trifle and Christmas Cake. Ours was never a posh one like in this image though. One like this was something to dream of and I never have had one as an adult as my hubby doesn't like this kind of fruit cake :(

I covered the blank card with a red spotty paper and then added a panel of the green and red which I matted on gold metallic card. The holly patterned paper is from my scraps box which was recycled from a card I had received. The image was matted on gold to match and I popped this up on foam pads.

The sentiment is from the Winterberry collection box. It has a red border so trimmed it down and matted onto gold card. I added some red ribbon from this kit and popped on foam pads.

Change Colours Red & Green

At Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards challenge for day 8 we have been tasked to make at least 2 cards with the same layout and design but different colours.

I never make 2 cards the same so I was pleased to be able to make them at least a different colour.

I made the ensemble using 3 of the images from the Very Very Merry Stamps pack. This set is also available in pre-coloured Doodles for super easy card making.

This 2nd card I made colouring the images with red & green Triblend Brushmarkers. I added some dots of marker to the background.

I matted the image with thin red card. The base of the card has been covered with a lovely metallic cardstock from Crafter's Companion which has the Merry Christmas sentiment in different fonts. If course being metallic it wasn't the easiest to photograph so apologies for that.

This prints out as an A4 sheet but for this card I made it smaller to suit an A5 finished card.

The image has been coloured with alcohol markers with gel pens and sparkle glitter pens for accenting. I made a simple banner from text I had typed, using plain black card to mat both the image and sentiment.

These elements were then mounted onto the card base which is made from an A4 sheet of pearlescent gold cardstock.

Finally I added red gems as baubles on the tree and berries on the Christmas pudding and a green one on the gingerbread man's bow tie.
