Freebie - Doodled Christmas Pudding Card

This card measures 5ins x 5ins and is made using white linen effect card.

This is the first card I have ever made from scratch just using a couple of pens and my doodling, and again it’s all down to Marc for just giving me that extra shove that I sometimes need to get me out of my comfort zone!

So ….. I used a couple of red pens with a touch of black fine liner to make the background panel, then I doodled a frame and did a bit of writing for the sentiment panel and finally doodled and cut out two parts of a Christmas pudding …. praying they would all come together ….

I mat and layer the two panels on silver mirror card for a touch of festive shine.

It was all a bit of an experiment, so when I put the checked panel onto the card i went for broke and decided to doodle round it too.

The sentiment panel was next using adhesive foam pads for more layers and dimension, followed by the pudding and topping (with an added sprinkling of Hunkydory Diamond Sparkles)  also using foam pads to hold them in place.  The only things not doodled were the table confetti holly leaves and red flat back gem berries.

Freebie Doodled Christmas Tree Card

This card measures 12.5 cms wide x 14cm deep and is made using white linen effect card.

I LOVE talking to marc, he inspires me sooooo much and pushes  me (in the nicest way possible) to try new things! I called him on Saturday (making sure that it was well before the X Factor Final) and we got to talking about using my doodles more on cards ….. and this is the result!  I am so pleased with it …. very less is more!

There is absolutely nothing to it, I just doodled the picture, then scanned and printed off several copies.   I then mat and layered a simple background panel with silver mirror card.  The next step was to cut out two tree shapes to make a very simple decoupage layer using adhesive foam pads and then a pot (also using a foam pad) to give dimension).A scattering of small red flat backed gems complete the effect.  How simple is that?

But …..  what Marc and I also talked about was the possibility of my being able to offer my doodles free to download …. well,  neither of us had a clue how to do it …. but a challenge Iike that,  is like a red bull to a flag for me!!!! And I did it!!!  I am so proud!!

And Now …. I can offer you a single image, png file that you can alter to any size to fit your cards and you can also copy and paste as many times as you like:-

Or a pdf file with four trees where the size can’t be altered, just simply printed and then cut out:-

I have kept my card very simple …. but the images can be coloured, glittered, have other embellishments added to etc.….. AND I’d love to see what you do with it ….

* Please note …… I have checked,  as far as I am able,  that these two downloads work, but, I am not the most technical of people,  so I would prefer not to be asked any questions about any downloading difficulties  you may experience or how to use the files once you have downloaded them …
