Bearly mine design papers meet an easel card

These have been so easy to make it has been unreal... i have used papers from the bearly mine designs.. these are the new christmas digi downloads ... well the 2 red ones are... they cost £4 per download and are well worth it...!!!! added a topper to the 1st design from a qvc kit i got last year... and that was about it... it was that easy to do....

This one is just the bearly mine inserts from the digi set... i added a coupe of decrotive buttons to it and that was it... and i love the way it has turned out...!!!! soooo easy and sooo quick...!!!!!
Now this cute pink card is off anothe dowloaded digi set off bearly mine designs.. the topper on the front is from ammies shop .. dont they match brill 2gether...!!!! i am so happy i have gettin 3 more christmas cards done 2night....!!!!

http://craftydesignz.com/shop/ and http://bmd-creations.blogspot.com/

One of the lasses on craftycardsrappers Called Betty does some wonderful cards... and she has been usin the these great papers and brill inserts.. so i had to ask where she got them from.. well it was off bearlymine designs http://bmd-creations.blogspot.com/ so i have ended up with 3 sets of downloadables and one of the great cd's designer extreme 111.. and they are just wonderful... so i had to have a play... the little darlin in the middle of the 1st card is from dotties world(downloadable) i cut the bottom of the card off and used it to make a bookmark to give away with the card...
This is also a bearlymine design paper i have used a stamp from my collection on the front of the paper.. and used a insert from the kit.. but i 4got to take a pic of the insert...lol did the same as the last one... cut card down and used the spare card to make a bookmark

This is off the bearly mine estreme3 cd.. it has the matchin insert in this one.. i remembered by then to take the pic of the inside of the card...lol... the image is off a friend off craftycardsrappers.. it came all the way from america last year... the snowmpeople are just fun to colour.. embelishement was off a kits from qvc years ago and just found them again while sortin out my craft christmas bits....

Matchin insert.... i had fun with this lot... the papers make them fun to work with...

just magnolia and colour create challenge

i have done this card with a challenge or 2 in mind... i dont normally do cards for challenges.. i do cards for the fun of it.. then see if it fits into a challenge...i have ripped and torn all the papers i have used.. i am sure they are papermania off last year or the year before.. the stamp i bought from sparklybits (see shops side links)
I have used distressin ink round the image.. only just started tryin this technique as i always chickened it in case i knacked up the image...
I have used a silver charm i bought from bunny zoe's shop ...
I am goin to put this card in.. just magnolia..(distressing challenge this week) http://justmagnolia.blogspot.com/and colour create challenge (silver,blue and white) http://colourcreatechallenge.blogspot.com/ i had loads of fun doing this card... another christmas card done 2...lol
