Birthday Banner

It's the middle of the month so time for a new challenge at Perfectly Cas and this time we are looking for Shapes.

 I decided to go with triangles and used a Little Claire Stamp set that I don't think had ever seen ink because getting everything lined up was just too difficult, but my Misti changed all that.

It looks a bit naked to me so when I use it, I'll probably personalise it!

I wonder what shapes you'll use? Don't forget to visit my fellow teammates for lots of ideas.

Black and Bling

The new challenge at Cardz for Galz is Black and Bling. I originally thought of doing something die cut and silvery on black card but then I remembered this Woodware stamp that had never seen ink.

I stamped and heat embossed it in silver along with the sentiment, then added the gols and silver candy in the larger circles and some rhinestones in the smaller ones. I am really quite pleased with the way it has turned out.

Do check out the inspiration from the rest of my teammates and hopefully you'll play along too.

Using Brads or Eyelets

Jane has asked us to use brads or eyelets on our cards for the challenge that starts today at Cardz for Guyz. I have loads of these and hardly ever use them so had a rummage to see what I had and found these sweet Woodware baby feet.

The design is VERY cas and is a case of a lovely Christmas card I received from Chrissie. Hope you dont mind Chrissie. All I need now is someone to have a baby boy!

Ill be interested to see what you all come up with.

Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge

Welcome back to the second Christmas challenge of this year at Happy Little Stampers.

 
 As always it is Anything Goes but with the option of Christmas wings. My original intention was to do something with an angel on, but then realised I didn't actually have any angel stamps, or indeed anything else. So what other choice did I have but to go with ever popular Christmas robins!

I found some decoupage robins, some robin patterned paper, some Christmassy ribbon and peel off greetings, and ended up with three cards.

If I can keep this up throughout the year my Christmas card target will be easy! Please check out the challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT have made and join us to get a head start this year on those cards.

I Heart You

Welcome back to the new challenge at Make My Monday. Wei has chosen I Heart You as the topic - just in time for Valentine's Day.

I tried out something new for this. A friend of mine did a papercutting workshop before Christmas and had made some lovely cards as a result. I decide to have a go and bought a template from Lucy Dorothy.

This is the finished card. It took a while to cut but it was quite enjoyable doing something different.

I hope you'll be able to join in with your heart cards.

HLS Watercolour Challenge

My goodness can you believe that we are already onto our second challenge of the year!

I went with the option of bling as I thought this stamp lent itself to it. Once again it was a magazine freebie. I stamped the background with parts of the stamp before stamping and fussy cuttig the main image.

I used Zig Clean Colour brush pens and a water brushto colour the main mage and added the bling all round the edges.

Lots more inspiration over on the challenge blog

The First Sign of Spring.

Snowdrops are supposed to be the first sign of Spring. Nobody's told my garden that as I haven't seen one yet but I have got miniature daffodils in bloom. Anyway I decided to make a spring like card for the new challenge at Cardz for Galz, which is to use Kraft.

I stamped the image from Uniko in dark green then coloured it with pencils. I added a nice fresh green ribbon to ground it. No sentiment as I'll add one when I decide who I am using it for.

 

Teddy Bear

The new challenge at Cardz for Guyz is "Teddy Bear". While I was rummaging around deciding what to make I came across an old Docrafts Designer CD. After a bit of an effort I managed to load it onto my PC and made this card.

I printed the backgroundpaper with Tatty Teddy on it, then printed and fussy cut the bow and flower. The flower has a liberal coating of Glossy Accents and the bow has a sparkly jewel in the centre.

Lots more inspiration for you on the challenge blog.

Rudolph Day - January 2020

Well it's exactly a month since Christmas so it's time for the first Rudolph Day of 2020!!

I found an image that I had coloured in last year and never used so I teamed it up with some coordinating paper and added a few sequins. Job done!

A Glass Slipper!

It's my turn to choose the challenge for Make My Monday. After some thought I chose A Favourite Fairytale.
 I think my card makes it clear which one I have chosen. The image is from Bugaboo which I printed out then coloured with Promarkers.

The shoe is also from Bugaboo, liberally covered with Glossy Accents to make it look like glass.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you create!
