Lily of the Valley 321 challenge # 4

Lily of the Valley Challenge 4

321
We would like you to use 3 papers,

2 ribbons and 1 button or 1 brad

on your creations this week.

Well here is my card for this Challenge.

I have been a big fan of lili of the valley things,

check out all my Christmas cards below.

The final batch of christmas cards!

I don't know if you have noticed the trend to make larger cards,

all of these are A4 cards with envelopes.

I bought a pack of mixed coloured cards,

not realising there was a black one included.

So I added Purple to it, which I think makes a stunning

Christmas card.

Again though I have used the images from

Lili of the Valley,

they look great as the centre design of my finished cards.

Below a green style, still very much Christmas theme.

I also used the Dufex foiled greetings for these cards,
I wanted them to stand out from the cards.

Both of these two the more traditional RED for Christmas.

I think they both look great.

And my final A4 card, Yellow!

Great bright colour for Christmas.

Something totally different.

A pile of Christmas cards... Part 5

Another set, this time in Lilac,

again including the Fairies and Eskimos

from Lili of the Valley

More lovely Fairies, I used sekura gel pens,

and glitter gel pens to make the fairies purple.

And while I was still in the lilac mood,
Below a little christmas tree card.

More Christmas cards

Here are some more christmas cards,

all made in a two night period.

Above and below the lili of the Valley Faries,

and another eskimo.
Below are some snowman cards using Penny Black
stickeroo's.
More blue snowmen cards!
Bringing the total to 44 cards made!

A pile of Christmas Cards.... part 3

These fun little eskimos look so cute,

plus you can colour them to suit any paper,

or card you wish to make.

A selection of green ones.
And even Pink.
I have used glitter gel pens to add some sparkle,
and gel pens to add colour.

These bring the total Christmas cards to 34!

A pile of Christmas Cards.... part 2

Here are some very sweet Lily of the vally

Christmas Princesses.

They are just so adorable!

The backing papers were designed to go behind them.
I have fallen in love with these papers and
princesses.

A mixture of cards, for all different reasons.

Here are some more cards,

the one below is for my friends oldest daughter,

The stamp is a lili of the Vally stamp.

I used some new Papers for this card,

this is for my friends youngest daughter.
This card was made with some bits that had been left on my desk,
they had been around for ages.


This cute Sugar nellie stamp just had to be used,
I think it will make a great anniversary card.

I must have gone through a blue mode!
I think this looks better in life as the gems really sparkle.

Some Lovely cards for weddings and babys

I made these cards for the Summer fair at my son's school,

I decided to make these the day before the fair.

I am so glad I did as I sold a couple of each.

These lovely images are by lili of the valley,

I got the complete sets that had backing papers to match.

The one above I coloured the mans hair black, and highlighted

some of the flowers in pink.

I thought a mint green one looked really pretty.

The wedding cake looks great,
I coloured some flowers in with gel pens. The wedding bell card was one that was an instant hit!

Two cute baby cards.


And the final 4 Baby cards,
I only had to add buttons or ribbons to complete the look.

No Challenges this time!

For once the cards are not challenge related!

I just had to make these for people.

A simple anniversary card.

A card for a very special friend,

she asked for fairies!
The top message on this card slides,
though its not as neat I would have liked it!
It did work.

Completed Fairy fat book pages...

I joined in on another Fat book page swap.

This time the theme is fairies...

I have completed 14 pages,

here they all are.

A close up view of one.
A close up view of 2.I wanted to keep the look quite simple this time,
and let the images do the talking.
I hope everyone joining in will love these ones too.

I love this card... PTW challenge.

My lovely niece turns 11 this month so I made this fun card for her.

I have used Lili of the Vally dragons and Happy birthday paper.

Matching papers from a cd by Funky hand.

flowers from a paper mainia pack.

Mixing the papers in block style.

I would love to know what you all think!

When I didn't spend so much time on here....

Its funny how the computer takes up your time,

So while I was waiting for the computer to

be fixed here are some of my makes.

The one below is for my sister for her Birthday.

(It's also suitable for the PTW Challenge Violets are Blue)

This one has been left blank, ready for any greeting.
This Tilda is just so sweet.
Party Tilda, I coloured her in pink and
matched her baking paper to suit. I also went through a green moment!
Tilda with Lamp.
Tilda with hearts, she is another cute one.
I am going to do her all in red for Valentines Day.I like doing Tilda blond too, it makes her looks so different.
I also went through a blue moment!


I used the same backing paper on these two cards.
But don't they look different?
Oh my goodness, some cards without Tilda,
Shame on me!!!
I really wanted a break from them for a while,
these butterfly's are from Lili of the Vally.
The brads on both of these were given to me by Anj (aka Weasel)
from the cardmaking & papercraft forum.
Ha! I had to go back to Tilda didn't I?!
Here is a special anniversary card for my Parents,
I thought the cool Edwin and petticoat Tilda were
really ideal for them both.
