Christmas Card Challenge week 26

Hello.......

Today sees the start of a new challenge at the Christmas Card Challenge, and this week we have another anything goes.  We had some gorgeous entries for last week challenge so can not wait to see what you all create this week.

I used an embossalicious folder for my background and die cut with a stitched rectangle die.

The cheeky little robin is from Merry Little Christmas set by Clearly Besotted, and coloured with polychromos pencils.  To create the branch I used part of a decorative strip die from Sizziz  which I have had for ages and forgot about!! I added some cosmic shimmer white glue to create snow.

The sentiment is from Digi Stamp boutique.

Moving along with the times

Morning ......

It is time for another a new challenge over at Moving along with the times, and this week it is the lovley Mrs Duck's turn to choose the challenge and she would love to see some texture, dry or heat embossing or paste.

This is the card that I have created, and as it is nearly fathers day I thought I would make a male card for a change.

I have created the background with some colour core card and dry embossed using a Couture Creations embossing folder, the image and the sentiment are from a stamp set that i had free with a magazine ages ago.  I made the card base from some Buff card from Papermill direct and also used for matting.

Hope you can join us for this challenge

Creative moments inside and out

Good morning and welcome to a new challenge at Creative Moments.

The challenge this time is inside out, and we would like to see you both outside and inside of your cards.

We have to lovely sponsors for this challenge 

Dr Digi and Lacy Sunshine, you can visit the website by clicking on the links.

For my card I have used Deirderys Day Off from Dr Digi and you can find the image HERE, when I saw this image i knew what card I was going to create with it, and she just look sooooo relaxed lying on her sunbed with a cool drink, (i wish!!!). 

I have used Polychromo pencils to colour the image and used the out of the box technique to die cut with a stirched rectangle. I have added some wink of stella to the glass and jug but it is not showing to well.

The papers are some that I have had for ages and are 12 x 12 Bo Bunny from Barefoot and bliss, I thought the yellow and blue would help create a little beach scene. I used some peel off letters from the same papers for the Relax, and the sun is from a lil inkers die.

The sentiment is computer generated and printed onto a stitched fish tail die cut.

I have also decorated the inside using the same papers and added a die cut rectangle to match,

Christmas Card Challenge 25

Hello and welcome to a new challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges.

This week we have an anything goes challenge.

For my DT card I have used a stamp from the Lovely as a Tree set by Stampin Up.

I used some silver ink and to add some depth to the image I stamped the back trees first and stamped first on some scrap card before stamping lightly onto my navy blue panel.

I added some glitter to the trees and white gel pen to create the stars in the sky.

The wavy border is from die namics.

the greeting is a digi from pink petticoat.

Looking forward to seeing all your lovely creations.

happy little stamper sketch challenge

hello...

I have another card to share today using a stamp set from Clearly Besotted, that was free in a magazine a few months ago,

I have stamped the sweets onto whisper white card, using pumpkin pie, blackberry bliss and rose red ink from Stampin Up.  The sentiment was stamped using blackberry bliss.

I made a card base from blackberry bliss card and added my panels.  I have added some clear wink of stella to some of the sweets but it doesn't show up very well in the picture.

Happy Little stamper - May sketch challenge

Peace & Joy

Hello......

I have a Christmas card to share today using a Memory Box die that I have had for ages and this is the first time that I have used it!

This week the challenge at Merry Little Christmas is non evergreen tree!  I was looking through my die and found this little tree. The die is called Tree of Wonder.

I used white card stock for the tree and the little snowy hills along the bottom, and the sentiment is from a LOTV set which I stamped in blue ink and then added some clear embossing powder, 

i am entering this card into the following challenges

Merry  monday - non evergreen tree

Happy Little Stamper - Die cutting.

Sunshine

Hello.........

Last month I attended a craft class and found Stampin up! I fell in love with all the lovely craft stuff in the catalog and promptly made a very long wish list (it will take years to save for it all) and placed my first order. So you will be seeing lots more cards made using Stampin Up products.

This week the challenge over at Less is More is Sunshine.

I do not own a sunshine stamp, but do have a die namics die, so I made my own stencil by cutting the die on acetate and inking the sunshine using So Saffron and Daffodil Delight ink from stampin up, then cut the panel using a blue print die.  I designed the sentiment on the computer before printing onto my panel.

The little stars are from a die namics blue print set, and I heat embossed the card before I die cut.

The card base is Daffodil Delight from Stampin Up.
