I have three cards to share with you today! Grab a drink, ready? Let’s go!

Card No. 1

First card is for the new challenge which goes live on the Jellypark Friends Friday Challenge today which is Non Traditional Christmas Colours. Red and green must not be seen!

I said on Twitter that I made my favourite Jellypark Card yet and this is it.

I just love this Angel Girl stamp, she’s so cute! This is another hybrid card. The papers aren’t Christmas papers at all. They’re from the Echo Park, Orchard Lane paper pack II and I did all of the layering etc in Photoshop elements 9. I also digitally paper pieced the digi stamp. I’m getting more confident with PSE now so you’ll be seeing a lot more hybrid cards and digital paper piecing!

After printing off the background, stamp and small bits of patterned paper flower, I coloured the stamp with promarkers and then added glamour dust to the wings, halo and wand. She’s gorgeously blingy!

The trim is from the paper cellar and the sentiment ticket is by Digital Delights by Louby Lou.

I was going to leave it at that but didn’t want a vast expanse of nothingness so I sketched out a flourish is pencil and then blobbed liquid pearls over it.

Card No.2

This card features one of the new releases which are in the Jellypark store today. This one is called Boy in Reindeer Costume. Hubby said he just wanted to touch the screen when I showed him this photo. It does have a wonderfully textured, tactile feel to it.

I printed the image onto some Kraft cardstock (I get mine from Craftie-Charlie, 29p a sheet of A4). On one side of the cardstock it’s your bob standard kraft, but on the other side, it’s this almost suede like textured paper, slightly lighter in colour than the normal kraft and I wanted to used that side to match the embellishments I wanted to use. I coloured the stamp with promarkers and prismacolor pencils. I love his “Ta Dah!” pose! hehe. The button is by Basic Grey and the paper string (which I’m in love with at the mo!) is by East of India.

Card No. 3

The final Jellypark Card for today features the second of the new releases in the Jellypark store today which is called Cute Little Angel. And you know what, she is!

I’ve coloured her with Promarkers and Sakura stardust pens and because I wanted to make her look like she was floating, I adhered her to the card on foam pads. The patterned paper is from the Uncommon Collection by Authentique and the ribbon is from stash. The sentiment says “Have a Magical Christmas” and is word generated.
