Jay Gee's Nook Design Team

Hello

Welcome to the last Jay Gee's Nook Design Team post for the year.  Once again I have some 'knock out' cards to share with you.

Ange has been having fun with die cuts and glitter for this fun Christmas card. The stars are from WPlus9 - 'Clear Cut Stackers: Stars.

 Ange

Iwona has made a fabulous card using 'Quilt Cuts 2' die from WPlus9.  There are so many great possibilities with these dies.

Iwona

Simple perfection - another wonderful card from Angeline using Lawn Fawn's "Let it Snow' set. I just love how she has done the snow.

Angeline

I have combined two Jane's Doodles sets for this little birthday card - 'Easter Time' for the bunny and 'Garden Friends' for the sentiment.

I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy this time with you family and friends and be safe.

Hugs

Hello 

I imagine you are all as busy and frazzled as me at the moment, except those organised people who have already done all their Christmas shopping! Every year I say I am going to start early, but it never happens :)

I have some fabulous cards from the Design Team once again to share with you. 

Iwona has created this lovely Christmas card using 'Folk Art Flurries' from WPlus9.  The score lines down the sides are a wonderful little detail.

 Iwona

I love the effect of the stamping and embossing on this elegant card from Angeline. She has used 'Roses' from Jane's Doodles. 

 Angeline

Ange has an absolutely adorable card, love how she has masked the presents, so fun. This set is 'Warm Wishes Tia' from Some Odd Girl.

Ange

A very simple card from me today with lots of paper piecing. The bird and bee are both from 'Garden Friends' , the cross stitch is from 'Holiday Patterns' - both these sets are Jane's Doodles. The sentiment is from 'Word Up' by Paper Smooches and all the paper is various scraps I had lying around. This card photographed badly, LOL I swear it looks so much better IRL :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

Hello

What a busy week it has been! I love this time of year, but there are just so many things that need to be done and never enough time in which to do them :)

Angeline is on a break this week, but I do have some very cute cards to share with you.

Let's start with this delightful card from Iwona with her mad colouring skills! This sweet little girl is called 'The Lost Heart' from Gorjuss and the sentiment is from 'Chit Chat' by Paper Smooches.

 Iwona

Ange has a really fun Christmas card with these two handsome guys! They are both from 'Freezy Fellas' by Paper Smooches.

 Ange

I love this little bee called 'Sweet Bee' from Lil' Inker Designs and thought she would look cute holding a balloon for a fun birthday card. The sentiment is from 'Just Dad' by Jane's Doodles.

For all my Australian friends, FREE SHIPPING on all orders from the shop continues until 24th December. 

Cheers for now :)

Now, let's see what the Design Team have been up to.

This gorgeous one layer Christmas card from Angeline would be perfect to mass produce - the colour combo is fabulous too. Stamps are all from 'Let It Snow' from Lawn Fawn.

Angeline

Ange is showing her mad colouring skills with this adorable CAS card. All stamps are from Purple Onion Designs and include 'Toadstool', 'Sweet Offerings' and The Sweetest Day Sentiment' set.

Ange

Iwona has also used stamps from Purple Onion Designs (Sunny Blooms), for a completely different look. The way she has done the background using different mists is gorgeous. The sentiment is from 'Chit Chat' by Paper Smooches.

Iwona

For my card today, I decided to have a little fun with Lawn Fawn's 'Critters in the Snow'. The little light bulbs are from 'Retro Christmas Backgrounds' by Practicing Creativity.

Thanks for stopping by today... enjoy what's left of your weekend :)

Hello

I hope you are having a lovely Sunday or Saturday depending on where in the world your are :)

Have you seen the latest Paper Crafts 'Die Cutting for Paper Crafters' magazine? Our very own Angeline is featured in this issue - a lot!  She is amazing :) Today she is sharing another example with this fabulous tag using the 'Tropical Leaf' die cut from Memory Box.

 Angeline

I have a very sweet card from Iwona today who used this lovely silhouette image 'Dancing with Flowers' from Hero Arts. I am really loving the pink and grey colour scheme.

 Iwona

Ange is taking a wee break this weekend.

For my card I combined the yummy ice cream stamp from 'How Sweet' by Jane's Doodles with the mad scientist (that's how I think of him), from 'Great Chemistry' by Paper Smooches. The fun sentiment I found on line - it is a kid's quote I believe.

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Hello

Gosh, I am very late with this post and I ran out of time to make a card myself... sometimes life just gets in the way of crafting! Do you know what I mean?

But fear not, my wonderful Design Team are here to share some inspiration with you all :)

How about this super cute and fun Christmas card from Ange! She has used 'Jerome' from Paper Smooches and for the snowflake background, 'It's the Season' from Jane's Doodles.

Ange

 

 

Isn't this card from Iwona sweet? Love the hearts in the cloud and those orange boots. Iwona has used 'Raindrops' from Jane's Doodles.



Iwona

 

Angeline has made a darling little Christmas card using a sentiment from 'Ornate Ornaments' and the little birds from 'A Birdie Told Me', both by Lawn Fawn.

 



Angeline

 

Ok, short and sweet today. Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Now, let's see what the Design Team have been up to.

Angeline has done a little masking to make this beautiful Christmas Tree card using a background stamp from 'Grunge' by Skipping Stones Designs. Love the red and aqua colour combo.

 Angeline

Love these awesome 'waves' in Ange's fun card, they just look amazing. The cute little turtles are from 'Critters in the Sea' by Lawn Fawn.

 Ange

Iwona has added some stitching to make these gorgeous blooms, with a little help from 'Pretty Peonies' from Jane's Doodles :)

 Iwona

I choose this adorable image 'Arctic Friends' form Lil' Inker Design's '2 Cute Ink' line to ink up today. Coloured with copics, some fun background paper, some washi tape and the awesome stitched banner (only from Lil' Inker directly).

Have a fabulous day :)

Hello

I back today sharing another display of wonderful cards from the Jay Gee's Nook Design Team :)

Ange made this beautiful one layer card using 'Antique Blooms and Butterflies' from Hero Arts. The fun thing about this set is that it comes with it's own dies!

 Ange

And a couple of gorgeous tags...

First Iwona has used 'Chloe Stem' from Memory Box and some fun splatter to create this wonderful tag.

 Iwona

And this one from Angeline using 'Tropical Leaf', also from Memory Box. Both tags use the negative space brilliantly.

 Angeline

I love combing stamp sets from the same company and also mixing sets up from different companies - makes your stamps go so much further. For my card today I have used Paper Smooches 'Pretty Phrases' for my sentiment and 'Chubby Chums' for my little dog. The santa hat comes from Jane's Doodles, 'It's The Season' set.

I'm off to watch a movie - hope you are having a relaxing weekend.

Hello

I have some beauties to share with you today:

Iwona's card reflects the beautiful weather we have been having here (in Townsville). This card is just one of those that make you 'feel good' - brillant! This adorable image is 'Sunny Mae' from Some Odd Girl.

Iwona

 I love this fun and funky card by Ange. She has used Paper Smooches 'Daisies & Paisleys' stamp set. 
The rainbow colour effect is very cool!

 Ange

Every wonder what to do with your Washi Tape? Well here is a clever and gorgeous card from Angeline using Washi Tape as the background!

 Angeline

For my card today I used a new stamp called 'Caroling Emma' from C.C.Designs.  I decided to have a play with some non-traditional Christmas colours and I really like this colour combo :)

We had a new challenge start last week, and we would love you to play along with us.  Just link your project HERE.

How about this stunning cutie from Angeline! What's not to love about this card, especially the orange and the image!  This is 'Rosie' from Purple Onion Designs.

 Angeline

Iwona has a fun card today that uses 'Raindrops' from Jane's Doodles. The stamped background is so effective in creating the mood of this card.

Iwona

I am loving all the cards I have seen lately using the emboss resist technique, like this one and this. So here is mine, using 'Roses' from Jane's Doodles.

I used the current Play Date Cafe challenge colours, although I don't think mine are quite dark enough!

Enjoy the rest of your day... my daughter is taking me out to lunch :)

Hello, hello... how are you all today?

I am in a good mood, because I just started two weeks holiday - yay me! I have heaps and heaps of work around the house that needs doing, but I am hoping to slip away every now and then to make some cards :)

I have some fun cards to share with you today.

Angeline makes the most stunning cards using dies - here she has used the 'Prim Poppy' die from Memory Box.

 Angeline

Ange's fabulons création could easily be used as either a masculine or feminine card. The images and sentiment come from 'Old Fashioned Afternoon' by Sweet Stamp Shop.

 Ange

I love this Christmas card from Iwona - look at that adorable bow!, such a fun little addition. This stamp is called 'Ivy Wreath' and it is from Hero Arts.

 Iwona

I made a cute little card today using some new goodies from the shop :) The tree and grass are both dies from C.C. Designs. The cute owl image is called 'Birthday Owl' and is from Lil' Inker Designs - there 2 Cute Ink line of stamps.

Well I sure hope you have a fun weekend planned with lots of crafty time :) Thanks so much for stopping by.
