Still getting ready for Christmas for CCAYR October challenge
This is my second design team card for CCAYR October: getting ready for Christmas. This is being sponsored by Platypus Creek Stamping and Craft, who will be giving two cling mount Christmas stamps to each of the winners - there are two challenges this time - one is to make a single card for the theme and the other is to make a set of five cards. Please click on the link and admire the beautiful crafting of the rest of the team - it would be lovely to see you joining in with your 'getting ready for Christmas' entries..
This time the lovely little girls are hanging up their stockings on Christmas Eve and Santa is handing out presents to the children, while the children in the bottom right are going out to carol sing.
For this stepper card I've used snippets of Kanban card left over from a kit from last year and some miscellaneous pictures and an Anna Griffin sentiment. The glittered white flowers are Prima.

Guest slot for Tok Bobok 4: autumn
I was delighted to be invited to be a guest designer for Tok Bobok 5: autumn/fall. Please click on the link to see what the team have created and join in with the challenge.
I stamped Penny Black 'fantasy tree' with memento rich cocoa on to a piece of autumnal paper. This stamp isn't specifically one to be used for autumn, but I added spots of yellow, orange, red and brown with copics. This was then cut with a nestie and mounted on to die cut circles. This was then mounted on to a piece of bronze pearlised card that had been embossed with an Embossalicious 'tumbling leaves' folder with my eBosser which had been wiped with some deep red and golden light metallic gilding wax - unfortunately doesn't show up too well on a photo.

CHNC challenge extra for October
I can't believe that this card is for October! already! This year is going mega quickly. If you haven't started on your Christmas cards now is the time to get your skates on - and what better way than to enter my CHNC challenge extra for October where there is the chance for you to be the randomly chosen winner of £21 of digital images from Bugaboo Stamps who kindly sponsor.
My card is very simple, using printed digital snowflake paper and Noel image, both supplied by Bugaboo Stamps with a piece of lace edged ribbon across the top and a few silver (although they look gold here, they are silver) mirror punched snowflakes.

You can have any type of theme you wish, just put it on a tag. If you happen to have an Lunagirl images, we would love to see you use them.
For this tag I used one of the pictures kindly supplied by Lunagirl, one of their labels 'woman called Anita', digitally blending this with a Dezinaworld music rose background.

More baubles for The Glory of Christmas 17
Having messed up a bit with the first card I made as my design card for The Glory of Christmas challenge 17, I inked, stamped and embossed once more and this time it was fine. This was then mounted on to a piece of foiled Hunkydory card and then on to the A5 landscape card blank.

The Glory of Christmas challenge 17
This card was going to be for The Glory of Christmas challenge 17, I've used the lovely Papermania Bauble Decoration stamp.
When I stamped the image for the first card the sentiment 'Christmas Cheer' lost a bit of the 'Cheer' on the bottom edge! I didn't want to waste this so I decided to separately stamp the sentiment and mount it on to silver mirror card to match the piece surrounding the image. Everything was inked with versamark and heat embossed with detail silver powder. A couple of strips of glittery silver on the left finished the card off. This is an A5 landscape card - the image is quite large, so needs a large card blank.

Purple power
This is my design team card for The sweet pea stampers 'purple power' challenge that starts today. This will be open for the next two weeks. Please click on the link and see the gorgeous crafting of the rest of the team. We would love to see your 'purple power', using a Sweet Pea image if you have one, but, if not, join in with any image.
The shaped card blank was already decorated with a lilac pattern.I used Elaine Cox's Black Butterfly Fairy rubber stamp inked with memento tuxedo black and coloured with copics. I mounted the cut out on to two pieces of offcut papers, rounding the corners of the larger one. Organza ribbon and flowers from stash. I didn't add a sentiment, but think perhaps one could be put at the bottom.

I rescued the spotted background from a card I received that also had the lovely black and white border - the black is flocked - lovely to feel and a thin piece of ribbon down the side.

Garden gate
A simple card using a shaped blank with distressed edges. The image is one that I stamped and coloured a long time ago and never used. It's a La Pasche foam stamp that was coloure with distress inks. This is then framed with a frame that was part of a Kanban kit long ago.
Inspired by the gate on the photo for Creative creations 19: down at the bottom of the garden:

Frosty the snowman ...
It's a while since I made a Christmas card featuring a snowman, but that's what Sue J asked us to make for today's Christmas Card Club challenge. So I thought it was about time I used one of my favourite Stampotique stamps by Jo Capper-Sandon, colouring just a bit with spectrum noirs. I stamped this on to an offcut piece of hammered white card to give a bit of texture. The scalloped circles were cut with nesties. The backgrounds were made with my eBosser with the lovely Embossaliious 'star of wonder 8 x 8 embossing folder. The pieces used were all snippets left from earlier makes, so I'm into the playground for Pixie's crafty snippets week 91.
As ever, with mirror card it was difficult to get a photo without too much reflection. You can't really see, but the circular Craftwork cards sentiment says 'with love at Christmas', mounted on to a piece of glittered white ribbon from Hobbycraft.
I've based the card on the sketch given for Christmas card challenges week 43:

Another card for CHNC challenge 143
I made a second card for my CHNC challenge 143 with my poor attempt at stamping the angel - I didn't want to waste it and thought it looked a bit ethereal, so I've used it with more MME Lost and Found papers, using some of the scraps from the other card (double sided papers, so useful). The snow angel stamp is Inkadinkado inked with Adirondack currant ink and the one of the Die'sire sentiment stamps is also inked with currant.

The cheerful stamp pad challenge 69
This is my design team card for the first week of The cheerful stamp pad 69: I love your hat. Please click on the link and see the gorgeous crafting of the rest of the team and join in the challenge. There is a prize to be won from Rick StDennis
I've based my card on the sketch given for Sketch and stash 121, using up quite a lot of stash that I've had for a long time, including the lovely Basic Grey papers:
I've used the 1935 hat digi stamp kindly supplied by Rick StDennis, our sponsor, coloured with spectrum noirs. I die cut around the image and distressed with peacock feathers ink and embossed a couple of die cuts to mat behind, using 'budding vine' embossing folder and Embossalicious dottie from Crafter's Companion. Papers are Basic Grey majorlaine, again brushed with peacock feathers distress ink. Various other elements from stash including the lace that was coloured with the peacock feathers to match and flowers from Poundland. Although I cut into new papers, I couldn't resist using the offcut piece of Hunkydory foiled card, so this is one for Pixie's crafty snippets
