A gift shaped card

This is my design card for Suzy Bee's Bloomin' challenge 70: anything goes with a twist ... a shaped card. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and we would love to see your entries for the challenge.

I used Deedee's digis 'gifts' from Happy Brr-day (Deedee's are the sponsors for the challenge) printing it large, mounting on to a large card blank and cutting round the upper part of the 'gift' I would have liked to have cut the bottom of the gift too, but the card couldn't have stood on the point, so I decided to colour the bottom corners with a spectrum pen instead.

Completely Christmas 53

This is my design card for Completely Christmas 53: anything goes with a twist ... suitable for a male. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and join in with your masculine Christmas creations.

I used Aurora Wings Christmas owl (kindly donated by the sponsor) coloured with chameleon pens, using a piece of Fantastic Foils as background, an offcut of torn snowflakes paper and a die card panel of mirror card using a Nellie Snellen die. The sentiment panel is an odd one I found in my Christmas box.

Commissioned ruby wedding card

I was asked to make a ruby wedding card. For the background I ran some DCWV white core card through the eBosser using a Sheena Douglass embossing folder and then sanded it to reveal the white. The strip of Anniversary sentiment vellum is an offcut from long ago, put over an offcut of white paper with hearts. The  glittered heart was recycled from a card received. Flowers were from Hobbycraft. The sentiment was generated on computer and printed on to another snippet of the paper with hearts.

I secured the vellum beneath the glittered heart, but so that I didn't have to stick the rest down I stuck the ends into the inside of the card, covering these up with another piece of DCWV card and then creating the panel ready for writing a message. The Inca sentiment stamp was inked with Adirondack raisin.

Fan-tastic Tuesday challenge 75

This is my design card for Fan-tastic Tuesday challenge 75 : anything goes with a twist ... add a ribbon.

I used Sassy StudioVictorian beauty, kindly supplied by the sponsor, colouring with Chameleon pens. I cut out the image and a piece of Core-dinations with X cut rectangular parenthesis dies (I seem to be used these a lot atm - I love them). The background paper is from Making Cards magazine and the ribbon with beads down the side is from some that I bought years ago (I don't know why I haven't used it before). Flowers from Hobbycraft (altered with Chameleon pens) and birthday sentiment circle from Craftwork Cards.

I used an Embossalicious 8 x 8 embossed folder to emboss a piece of Core-dinations Kraft-core card which I then sanded and rubbed randomly with Gilding Blush old gold, I stamped the lovely Penny Black caroling hedgehogs and lightly coloured with chameleon pens. I then die cut the image and a piece of pink/kraft Core-dinations kraft-core using a couple of X cut rectangle parenthesis dies, sanding this and then lightly gilding in parts.

I used the lovely 'chill day' Penny Black stamp, coloured with spectrum noir pens, with Art Institute glitter added and the silver filed ho ho hos.

The base of the easel was covered with a piece of Papermania paper from the cranberry & apple capsule (not actually Christmas paper, but I think it works). The spotted and striped piece across the base to act as a stopper are from my offcuts box.

Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper March challenge

March has come round very quickly and here we are on the first day ready for a new challenge: Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper March challenge. Please click on the link to find out what this is all about, get out your hoarded patterned paper or perhaps that new pack that you're eager to cut into and join in the challenge.

This prize will be won by the randomly chosen winner:

Back in time paper bloc by Joy crafts

36 sheets, size 15 x 15 cm

4 x 9 designs

For my design card I kept to the theme of 'time' using Docrafts Chronology papers, Papermania Urban Stamp Chronology curiosities and two of Sheena Douglass' textures stamps from sets from Crafter's Companion.  As I almost ran out of time to make anything for this challenge, I thought using these papers and stamps would be good.

The bottom left corner has been stamped with one of Sheena's texture stamps, as well as the FOREVER. The main stamped image is the Papermania Urban Stamp. For all of the stamping I used memento cottage ivy.

A true friend sticks close ...

... through good times and bad. That's the sentiment that's included in the delightful image from Deedee's digis 'forever friends' set which was the 'digi of the month' given for use in the February challenge (given to all those who participated in their January challenge).

I have to confess that I thought about this challenge the other day, but with everything that's going on, I forget again and am very grateful for Kathy's reminder this morning!

I found up some tiger print card that I ought ages and ages ago and used this for the background, with a piece of orange corrugated card and Paper Cellar black glittered strips down the side. I couldn't resist using another of the images from the set for the inside of the card, together with panels to give somewhere to write a personal message.

So this is for Deedee's February digi of the month challenge.

CHNC challenge 218: cut it up

For my CHNC challenge 218 that starts today I'm asking for something to be cut when making a Christmas creation - using scissors, die cutting, a guillotine/paper trimmer ... anything that cuts!

For my Design card I printed a lovely sheet by Carol Clarke which is available on Craftuprint volume 3, which will be given as one of the prizes this week, cutting out the pieces to decoupage the picture. I deliberately took the picture to try and show the decoupage, but when viewed face on, no shadows are seen.

Happy birthday, man!

This is a birthday card for one of my great nephews who is a Simpsons fan (hope he still is!) - it's his birthday today and I know he's received this,, so it's safe to blog.

The top and bottom are offcuts from a piece of mirror card that had been embossed with one of the 8 x 8 embossing folders from the textures bundle I bought recently (the beauty of an 8 x 8 folder is that there will be snippets over after making a 6 x 6 card). The sentiment strip across the middle is another offcut, with some washi tape added and the Simpsons picture from the internet.

This is my design card for the cheerful stamp pad challenge 105 week 2, where the theme  is 'B stands for bear'. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team and you can join in our challenge here.

For my card I've used Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet 'boo boo bear'. I coloured with my newly-acquired Chameleon pens (please be gentle as I've only just started using these). I tore around a perspex oval template and brushed the edges with brushed corduroy distress ink. The background sentiment papers are offcuts. A few fabric hearts were added as it looked too plain without them.
