Happy Halloween

To day is the start of a new challenge over at Moving Along With The Times, and Amy from Team A as chosen 'Halloween'

I dont normaly do much Halloween so had to hunt a little for some stamps, this is what I came up with.  The background is a free digi (dont know where from), the bats are a memory box die, along with the broom stick, and the little witch is from Digi Stamp Boutique.

I printed the background onto some Vanilla card stock and then added some orange to the windows.  I then used a die namics blueprint die for the frame.  I have coloured the little witch with pencils and popped her up with some dimensionals.

I wrote the sentiment in some white gel pen.

this challenge will run for 2 weeks so look forward to seeing what you all create.

Happy Little Stampers Reminder post

Hello .... this is a Mid Month reminder to come and play along in the challenge

I have created a card using a Penny Black stamp.  I washed the background with some smoky grey ink and allowed to dry.  I painted the stamp with Real Red and Old Olive ink spritzed with a small amount of water before stamping my main flower, I then stamped my other 2 flowers without re inking.  I added some gold dots to the centre of my main flower and also some clear wink of stella to the leaves.  The sentiment is from the Happy Little Stampers Mixed Christmas Sentiment set and I used Old Olive, it doesn't seam to show up very well and I wish that I had used some gold embossing powder.

Christmas Card challenges

Hello ........... I can not believe that another week as flown by.  I have not been a very good blogger recently.  My dad is recovering at home now after his heart operation and they have at last sold there large family house and have managed to find a lovely little bungalow so I am busy helping to sort out over 50 years worth of household stuff.

Any way enough of the rambling and back to my post.  Today sees the start of a new challenge over at the Christmas Card Challenge and this week we have 'anything goes'

My card uses the edgelits from Stampin Up and I have created the background with a stencil and some gold sparkle medium which I have been playing with lots on my christmas cards. The sentiment is from the Mixed Christmas Sentiments from Happy Little Stamper. 

Christmas Sparkle

Good evening ......... Today is the start of a new weekly challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges and this week we have a colour challenge for you.

I thought I would make a shaker card using some sequins that I had in my stash in the same colours.

The ornament die cut is from sizzix.  I picked up the glitter card at a recent visit to Hobby Craft.  The word Sparkle is from a Wplus9 die and I cut from glitter card and funky foam.  The little bow is a memory box die and I added a very thin strip of glitter card to make the string.

I stamped christmas sentiment in silver.

Poinsettia

Hello and welcome to the start of Octobers challenge at 

Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge

This challenge is sponsored by Happy Little Stampers Shop and you can win the Bold Birthday stamp set.

We also have Pat as a GDT member for this challenge and you can find her blog HERE

For my card I have used Grunge Stamp set and Reason for the Season stamp set, 

 both from stampin up.

I started by stamping the lines in versa mark and added gold embossing powder, I then stamped my poinsettia onto white card in versa mark and again heat embossed in gold, then fussy cut out.

I used gold cording trim from Stampin Up for the 3 loops, and added 3 gold sequins.

The sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers mixed christmas sentiments set.

I have created a card base from craft card, and added a panel of ivory card.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre and then used a mixture of the stars in orange and blue around it.

This is a very quick and simple card and can be adapted for male or female just by changing the colours you use.
