CHNC challenge extra for August 2015

CHNC challenge 239: Ho! Ho! Ho!

This is my card for my CHNC challenge 239: Ho! Ho! Ho! Please click on the link to see what this is about and join in the Christmas fun with your entries.

For my one layer CAS card I've used one of my favourite Santa stamps bt Hero Arts inked with memento tuxedo black and filled in with a poppy red embossing pen for Santa's hat, heat embossed with WOW! detail clear gloss powder, then using a clear embossing pen to 'colour' in the fur on Santa's hat and his beard and embossed with WOW! metallic medley powder. The Ho Ho Ho stamp was from Hobbycraft. I dotted in places with quickie glue and then sprinkled with Chloe's sparkelicious glitter.

However much I tried I couldn't get a photo that showed the card as it actually is - this is the best I could do and below you can see a close up showing the embossing and glitter a bit better:

Cheerful stamp pad challenge 116

This is my very late design card for the Cheerful stamp pad challenge 116: hearts and flowers. My big apologies to Vicki and my fellow teamies for not getting this card done on time ... first of all I got confused with days (thinking the card was due for today) and then, when I realised, I couldn't find the image that I'd already coloured in a week or two ago! Please click on the challenge link to see the lovely crafting of the rest of the team and join in our challenge.

I used the lovely dogwood image from Stitchy Bear's In the garden, kindly supplied by the sponsor, colouring this with chameleon pens and then die cutting using one of the Spellbinder marvelous squares die. The background paper is from a booklet of the Country Dairy of an Edwardian Lady collection which seemed appropriate for the card. Some spotty ribbon, lace, gems and sentiment finish off the card.

CHNC challenge 238: spots and/or stripes

This is my card for my CHNC challenge 238: spots and/or stripes. I've used some lovely digital bokeh paper kindly supplied by one of our sponsors this week, Stamp your life. The lovely reindeer is 'snowflake reindeer silhouette' by Bugaboo Stamps. The stripes and other elements were achieved with playing around with various digital designs.

I thought the bokeh effect would make a change to the more normal regular spots or dots.

A vintage wedding card

This is my design card for Suzy Bee's Bloomin' challenge 89: anything goes with a twist ... vintage wedding card. Please click the link to the lovely crafting of others in the team and join in our challenge.

I used a Dazzling Ace Designs image supplied by them as sponsor, adhering an ornate frame over the printed image (wasn't sure about this at first, but I think it looks OK, just different). I've had the wedding vows sentiment panel for ages and thought it was just right for this card with a piece of ribbon behind (used to use ribbon like this years ago, but got out of the habit). The Mr & Mrs is a raised embossed rub on.

In the photo the card looks lighter than it is - more of a creamy ivory in real life.

I've used the lovely owl ribbon kindly supplied by Crafty Ribbons, sponsor of the challenge. Papers and the strip of owls are Kanban Dawn Bibby Designs (hoarded away for some time).

CHNC challenge extra for July mid-month inspiration.

Mid-month has come round so quickly again - difficult to think that we are now much nearer to Christmas 2015 than 2014. It's time for some mid-month inspiration from the team. We would love you to join in our July challenge here.

For my card I used  Aurora Wings Christmas owl with Santa hat, colouring with chameleon pens and matting on to an offcut of paper, then on to a couple more Christmas offcuts (the main background is BoBunny). Poinsettias from Poundland. I added Art Institute fine glitter to the edges of the hat.

Sometimes life is an uphill struggle ...

I was asked for make a card for friends to send to a keen cyclist who is going through a difficult time. I found this image free on the internet and thought it fitted the requested. I created the whole card digitally and then printed out. I wish I'd taken a picture of the actual card before I gave it to my friends because the digital image that I've saved hasn't made the card look as good as it was - somehow the jpg got saved with a weaker resolution. The text going up the hill is '... it is the Lord who goes before you,' Deut. 31:8.

It did look much better than this printed out ... honestly!

The lovely picture was supplied by Dazzling Ace Designs, sponsor of the challenge. As it is a long and narrow image I decided to use a DL card black, covered in some lovely purple and silver HOTP paper that I've had for ages. I can't remember where I got the silver lace from, but thought it was just right for this card with the addition of the sentiment and the Hobbycraft flower.

This is my design card for Fan-tastic Tuesday challenge 93: anything goes with a twist ... in the garden. Please click the link to see the lovely designs of the rest of the team (and there is also a DT call if you are interested). We would love to see your entries for the challenge.

I used Sassy Studio's 'tinkerbell honey', kindly supplied by them as the sponsor of the challenge. This was coloured with copics and mounted on to a piece of 'garden' card rescued from an old birthday card, wrapped with pieces of ribbon and then mounted on to an offcut of paper originally from a magazine freebie - an opportunity to play at Pixie's snippets 184 (if you haven't visited there, please do - see you for a break on the swings!) Flowers and ribbons from Hobbycraft.
