Quick hearty card

This week's 10 minute craft dash 11 is to make a card featuring hearts - within 10 minutes, of course - this card took me about 6 minutes as I had the die cut hearts ready:

Background card is DCWV, various papers for the die cut hearts, Hunkygory flower topper.

This is also for:

CAS on Sunday 1: be mine Valentine
Come and get it: show us your heart - love is in the air

It's only words

For todays challenge for the Christmas Card Club Dawn asked us to use only words, no images, on our Christmas cards. I remembered a 'Merry Christmas' oval that I'd had left from a Kanban kit long ago and thought I would use that ... then I had to hunt for papers to go with it.

The two main background papers are from Fancy Pants winterland pad - the one with script was brushed with bundled sage distress ink - the main part of the paper is much more pink than it looks here. The panel across the middle is from the Authentique peaceful collection, torn and edged with victorian velvet distress ink - on reflection, I think tattered rose would have been better, but it's done now.

Spotty ribbons from stash. Having used a lot of offcuts recently, how lovely it was to cut into new papers (and, of course, I now have some offcuts to use up!).

Another card for CHNC challenge 111

This is another card for my CHNC challenge 111: we don't want any more snow (for details please click the link). For this card I've used the Bugaboo Stamps akv girl xmas tree image, coloured with copics. Papers are offcuts of double sided K & Co paper.

The card is based on the sketch for Critter 150:

CHNC challenge 111: we don't want any more snow!

From my little blogging this week you'd think that I hadn't made many cards, but, in fact, I've made loads (mainly using a Hunkydory kit that has been very useful for making quick cards), so time's been taken up with cardmaking rather than blogging.

Anyway, today, of course, sees the launch of a new challenge over on my CHNC weekly challenge blog and so for challenge 111 I'm asking for Christmas cards without any snow ... so, no snowmen, snowflakes, snow scenes ... anything really, except SNOW because we don't want any more of it!

There are three wonderful sponsors for CHNC challenge 111 - just go and check it out and, hopefully, join in and be in with a chance to win one of the prizes - one of the sponsors is a regular one, Bugaboo Stamps - I've used their image 'akv santa tree' for this card - coloured with copics.

The papers I've used are offcuts from my Christmas box (I really must start cutting into some new papers or I'll be having withdrawal symptoms - lol!) - you could almost think that the paper with hearts on is for Valentine, but it really is a Christmas paper - and the spotty grosgrain ribbon is from stash.

Why is it that yet again colours aren't showing up as they are irl - the tree and the sentiment match up much better than they look here - perhaps it's something to do with the reflection on the mirror card of the sentiment!

Doily easel card

This card uses a doily shape that came with a Hunkydory kit. I cut round the edge of a square card. The paper covering the bottom of the card is Forever Friends spring time. The doily is a cheapie one from Poundland brushed with Dusty concord distress ink. Silk flowers, gem ribbons and flower ribbons from Hobbycraft.

Why is it that the silk flowers are more purple irl than in the photo?

P-p-p pick up a present or two ...

... this is my second card for my CHNC challenge 110 that starts today where the theme is 'P-p-p pick up a penguin ... or anything beginning with P'.

I've used the 'Sarah's Christmas' image kindly given by Robyn's Fetish digital stamps and more, one of the sponsors of my CHNC challenge 110, coloured with copics. The background paper is an offcut that I've had for a long time, originally part of a 12 x 12 paper.

My first card uses the 'Paul Penguin' image kindly given to me by one of the sponsors, Robyn's Fetish digital stamps and more, coloured with copics - I torn round an oval template and coloured the distressed edges with a copic..

CHNC challenge extra for February

It doesn't seem possible that we're into February already - this means another challenge on my CHNC challenge extra blog - this is always 'anything goes' as long as it's Christmas, so why not hop on over there and join in - you'll be thankful later in the year that you have some Christmas cards made instead of rushing at the last minute.

My CHNC challenge extra are always sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps and they kindly supplied the 'angel' image which I coloured digitally using Paint. The bright backgrounds were cut from cards that I bought ages ago and have never wanted to use ... but I thought they went with the angel images (although you may well have to put sunglasses on!!):

Make a scene ...

... no, I haven't been stamping my feet and having a tantrum ... but making a scene with a brayer and inks - how I wish I was half as good at it as Barbara Gray is (I so admire her work) ... but I tried. I used my splodge mat for the first time (had it for a long while and this is the first chance to use it). I used a variety of ink pads - broken china, stormy sky and bundled sage distress inks and lake mist, meadow, pitch black and salmon Adirondack dye inks. All of the trees and bushes are Clarity stamps, inked with pitch black, but using faded stamping as well.

I was prompted to get the inks and brayer out by the Daring cardmakers challenge for this week (closing very soon): Setting the scene. This challenge is being sponsored by Docrafts who are giving one of their 4 exciting new sets of Build-A-Scene Dies each worth £19.95.

For the first scene I masked off a circle for the moon, but then brayered over to create a cloudy, mist where the moon is just about evident.

On this one, the moon was masked off, but then brayered gently to create a slightly layered look (which is actually more salmon looking irl):

Thankfully, the snow has all gone ...

... so I don't mind seeing it on cards. The background paper is an offcut of DCWV paper, with an embossed panel created with a snowflake embossing border folder on a snippet of white card brushed with stormy sky distress ink, with some sticky ribbon either side. The image is one that I stamped and glittered a long, long time ago - I got the stamp in a 'pass it on' challenge at the time and stamped so many of them and this is a stray one that didn't get used.

Birthday candles

This is a card that I made a couple of weeks ago for my brother's birthday. I was keen to get it in the post, so I forgot to take photos, but he has kindly taken some and emailed so I can now show the card. It was a special birthday, which explains the number of candles - and there was an appropriate message inside. I used a Docrafts candles tamp, masking off some of them to stamp the middle ones, colouring them with copics. The sentiment background paper was some I've had for a long time. The card is an 8 x 8 because I needed lots of room for all the candles!

Three cards out of one

Last February I made a multi-fold easel Christmas card, but it didn't get used and I wasn't that keen on  it, so didn't see any point in keeping it. But there was no way that I was going to discard it so I decided to take it to pieces and use most of those pieces along with other bits from my offcuts box to make three new cards.

This is the original card and you can read about it here:

Simply Holly

Carol challenged the Christmas Card Club to make cards without designer paper. I decided to use the sketch 8 for Less is more 104 - they asked that the card stays in this orientation ie that the band remains in the horizontal plane, in the lower part of the card and that it takes up no more than 1/3rd of the height of the cardbase:

I used a 'holly doodles' stamp designed by Sheila Oliver for Tanda Stamps - I haven't used any of these for quite some time, but always enjoy them when I do.

I inked the stamp with versamark and heat embossed with detail black (sadly, knocking the pot over so that some went on the carpet - it had to happen with black, didn't it!) I coloured with copics apple green G14 and strong red R46, also drawing the red lines with R46. This is for CAS-ual Friday 87: make your mark - use markers.

The sentiment stamp was from a set that came with a magazine.

I tried all sorts of ways to get a better photo ... but it didn't happen. The white is much more vivid irl and the embossing shows up brightly.

This is also for Sunday's with Santa on facebook week 2 (yes, I'm behind already): traditional colours.

Vintage Christmas

The gold and cream picture was cut from a card received, deliberately with a jagged edge. The swirly mirror card is an offcut of Hunkydory card torn at the edge and the sentiment is from Anna Griffin, all mounted on a black card blank.

Another recycled Christmas card

I'm still sorting and clearing - determined not to put bits away. This DL card was made using a large Christmas card that had been received, splitting the picture in two to mount on the front and back flap of the three-fold card. The inside is decorated with some shiny paper that I've had for ages - still got lots of it and have hardly ever used it, but thought that the colour went well with the stardream card blank and the pictures.

Second card for CHNC challenge 109: nativity

For my CHNC challenge 109 that starts this morning I'm asking for Christmas cards that in some way depict the nativity. It might show an image of Mary and Joseph, the manger scene, the wise men, shepherds etc or perhaps a scripture verse of phrase from a Christmas carol that refers to the nativity in some way.

There are three sponsored prizes to be won for this challenge - please go over to CHNC challenge 109 for details and, hopefully, join in.

For my second card I've used two images kindly supplied by one of the sponsors, Paper Pretties, called 'nativity' and 'wisemen' which I combined together digitally before printing out and colouring promarkers and flexmarkers. As there is quite a lot of detail in the images I printed to a size that would be right for an A5 card.

The main background paper is the reverse side of Graphic 45 Carol of the Bells paper, the turquoise patterned paper is DCWV. The ribbons (the red stuck on top of the gold) were bought this week from Lakeland - did an online order for household products and they slipped into the basket - I couldn't resist buying a few packs because they were reduced. The flowers and sentiment are from stash - the sentiment is red on gold (hard to see here) - it says 'with love at Christmas'.

CHNC challenge 109: nativity

For my CHNC challenge 109 that starts this morning I'm asking for Christmas cards that in some way depict the nativity. It might show an image of Mary and Joseph, the manger scene, the wise men, shepherds etc or perhaps a scripture verse of phrase from a Christmas carol that refers to the nativity in some way.

There are three sponsored prizes to be won for this challenge - please go over to CHNC challenge 109 for details and, hopefully, join in.

For my first card I've used an image kindly supplied by one of the sponsors, Pink Gem Designs, called 'nativity Philip'. I cheated a bit and printed out the coloured version and mounted on a snippet of silver mirror card. I've been using a lot of offcuts recently, so I fancied cutting into new papers for this, but could I find something that matched the image? No way! So, in the end I resorted to using an offcut which was originally part of a Kanban kit bought quite a long while ago. To be honest, I nearly got rid of this ages ago because I couldn't really think how I would use it.

Because this already had some silver foiling on it, it would have been silly to try and add anything else, although I was sorely tempted. So this has ended up as a really CAS DL card:

Butterflies ... with all my love

Today I've had a change from sorting and recycling. I decided to get inky instead, so I got out my Luminarte radiant rain daubers and used poppy red with a touch of passionfruit with plenty of water spritzing. I wasn't very pleased with what I achieved (too heavy handed with the dauber in places I think), but I made a discovery.

This is what the piece looked like:

And I turned it over to discover it looked like this and I rather liked it:

So I daubed a bit more on the right side until some of the white spaces were less obvious on the wrong side and then dried off well with my heat gun. So this wasn't exactly a new technique, but a new discovery so this is for Paper pretties 242, Scrappy frogs: try something new and Crafty boots: new - using something new (a new idea).

I've recently been thinking that I'd like to try getting back to taking part in 365 cards - somehow I let it lapse for a while and the while became longer and longer - lol! - anyway, it so happens that today's challenge, day 24 is 'lovely liquids', so I'm linking for that.

Meanwhile, before getting inky with the radiant rain I had printed out some A day for a daisy 'freehand butterfly 1 with music notes' digi images in three different sizes and coloured with various red copics - R05, R27, R35, R46 and RV29. This is for A day for daisies 62: add some red, also for Copic marker Europe 13: anything goes with Copic markers. I added a few pink and red gems to the butterflies.

I've used the sketch for Flutter by Wednesday 224:

I've used the back of the radiant rain card for the top part and the front for the piece across the middle so that there's just a hint of a purply pink. The middle pinky panel was achieved by sponging a panpastel on white card. - linking for PanPastel 3: nature. I found the sentiment strip from long ago and a piece of ribbon for across the top, but I think this was a mistake, but there's no way I'm taking the card to bits now. The pearlised oval frame is one from a kit of them from years ago mounted on to an offcut of a magazine freebie paper.

I'm afraid that I'm now going to have to be disciplined and put the inks etc away and get back to the sorting and recycling etc (well, for some of the time at least - lol!).

From our house to yours ...

... this is the sentiment on this card, for which I've used two Christmas offcuts, a recycled mirror card door from a card received, a piece of gold glittered ribbon and a Craftwork cards sentiment:

Over the past few days (and more to come) I've been showing cards that include recycled elements - I'm still sorting out my stuff and trying not to put things away that I can use now ... although I admit it's getting a bit boring really. I've got out my H2Os after seeing Sheena Douglass on Create & Craft and also my Radiant rain colour concentrates in the hope that I can do something soon other than use up  my bits and pieces, but meanwhile:

As usual with mirror card I had to take the photo at an angle to avoid glare:

Just to prove that it's mirror card!:
