Sugar and Spice Marci Happy Day Card

Here is my card for the latest sketch from Card Patterns: Sketch 169:

Here is the sketch:

Unfortunately I missed the cut off for posting my card by about 6 mins!!! Oh well, at least I have a new card!! :)

Anyway, I have used the following:

• a kraft card and envelope from Envelope Solutions
• some blue textured card stock from DCWV, cut into a banner and then used on the envelope
• a piece of floral paper (I have no idea where it came from!), inked on the edge with Aquamarine Vivid! ink
• a glittered die cut by from Making Memories
• Sugar and Spice Marci (La-La Land Crafts) digitally stamped on to X-Press It paper and then hand coloured with Copics pens (hair: E35; skin: E00; lips: lipstick Spica pen; headband, dress and shoes: B02, B05, RV13; spoon: E31; cupcake: E31, RV10, R35)
• 'happy day' stamp from inkadinkado stamped in Aquamarine Vivid! ink.

This card are also displayed in the La-La Land Crafts Customer Gallery.

This card is for sale on Etsy, in my shop: JemLou Productions. Click here for the link.

Thanks for looking! :)

Christmas in July

I'm getting ready for the Promoting Creative Friends Christmas in July event.
I just sent these four cards to the two lovely ladies that are organising the Christmas in July Scavenger Hunt:

All four are coloured with Copics pens! I am still working out the whole shading thing! :)
Also, because the Copic pens go through the paper, I adhered a piece of Christmas paper to the inside front part of the card.

So I have used Sunny Christmas Marci and Sunny Christmas Luka digital stamps from La-La Land Crafts, printed on X-Press It paper, which I have coloured with Copics pens (skin: E00; lips of Marci: Lipstick Spica pen; hair: E35; Marci's dress, headband and thongs: R32, R35, E31, E02/RV13; lights that Marci is holding: B05 (string), YG00, B02, R35, YG03 (top), RV10, YG00, B02, YG03 (bottom); Luka's clothes, hat and thongs: YG03, B02, B05, Clear Spica pen; Luka's presents, bag and candy cane: YG00, B02, E31, R35, YG03, RV13).

The tags were in my stash (I bought them from a Craft show last year), the Baker's twine is from Koko Vanilla Designs and the Merry Christmas stamp is from Jo-Ann Craft Essentials, stamped with Rich Cocoa ink by Memento/Tsukineko.

These cards/tags are also displayed in the La-La Land Crafts Customer Gallery!

I will definitely make some more of these (perhaps with more Christmassy colours!! :)) and list them on Etsy in my shop: JemLou Productions.
Thanks for looking! :)

Christmas in July and another Scavenger Hunt

In the Promoting Creative Friends Team on Etsy, we are doing Christmas in July....we are also doing another Scavenger Hunt, amongst other events.
Here is a cute picture of a pig, advertising the Scavenger Hunt:

More details to follow.....I need to finish off my gifts and send them first! :)
My shop will be participating in the Scavenger Hunt event.

Hopefully I will post something over the next couple of days with some new items for the Christmas in July event!
