Hi Susan here with my card for todays Blog Hop....

The plain coloured card I used on this card is from The Paper Mill Shop, the patterned paper is a piece from my stash. The edges have been distressed and glittered. The panels of blue and green card have been punched along the edges using a Martha Stewart punch and then glittered. The ribbon and little gold bells are from my local market.

Well this is the last one of the five fabulous images we have been showcasing, that have been designed by our very talented Marina Neira, this digi image is called 'Allie and Percy on Sled', they are two of the cutest little dogs. They can be purchased from The Stamping Bazaar Store on Monday 6th December. I have used Promarkers to colour the image and then carefully cut the image out and placed it onto a printed background of fir trees from My Craft Studio. I have added glitter here and there and then mat and layered onto a pale blue backer and distressed the edges and glittered with stickles.

My sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs, some of the most gorgeous sentiments around, the edges have been glittered.

My holly leaves and berries were made by me, the leaves I hand cut, marked the veins and then used inks to colour the leaves, then I sprayed them with gloss varnish from Crafters Companion.

Thank you for looking at my card....now carry on down to Emma's creation....

Untraditional Christmas Colours....

Hi Susan here....

This is my second card as a guest designer at Crafty Emma's Store, a new challenge has started today and the theme is a fabulous sketch, for full details of the challenge and to see some fabulous inspirational ideas from the design team call across to CES Challenges and join in the fun with us all.

Now onto my card....I wanted to make a Christmas card but I also wanted to get away from the traditional colours that we all tend to use....so I took a look in a 12x12 scrapbooking pad from HOTP called Sarapapers, and fell in love with these papers for the rich burgundy and pink colours. I have distressed all the edges and then glittered with stickles. The centre border panel I used a Martha Stewart punch on the edges then glittered. My ribbons and pearls are all from our local market. I love making those swirls.

This cute little digi image is from The Stamping Bazaar Store, designed by Marina Neira and is called 'Kitty among Presents', I have used Promarkers to colour the image, the edges have been distressed and glittered.

My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, I made and coloured the leaves from white card.

This beautiful sentiment image is a mix of two, the frame and the wordart, from Raindrop Echo Designs, designed by Ann Vento. I coloured the frame on the computer, joined the two images together then cut it  out and glittered the edges.

I am entering this card into the following challenges

Karber Weekly Challenge - Sparkle

Stamp with Fun - Advent

Digital Tuesday - Animals at Christmas Time

Dutch Dare Card - Christmas card

Stamp Something Challenge - Christmas Card

Thank you so much for looking at my card and for all the wonderful comments you leave, I hope you liked it.

Love Susan

The gems are from my stash.

He has been designed by the very talented Marina Neira and can be available to buy on Monday 6th December from The Stamping Bazaar Store.

These fabulous Christmas labels are available from HERE.

Hi Susan here with my creation for you....

I decided to make a notebook for my daughter Jeni to show the versatility of Marina's images. I have used bits and pieces from my stash for the backing papers, all the edges have been distressed and glittered. The ribbon is from my local market. The lettering is chipboard that I have coloured and glittered. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

My sentiment that surrounds my image has been made on my computer, the edges of the sentiment have been gently inked and then distressed and glittered.

And here is todays featured digi image - 'Susies First Snow', she has been designed by the very talented Marina Neira and will be available to buy from Monday 6th December at The Stamping Bazaar Store. I have used Promarkers to colour the image and then gently inked the background before glittering the image with stickles.

Thanks for looking at my creation....carry on down now for Emma's....
