The Glory of Christmas challenge 77: fold and cut

This is my design card for the Glory of Christmas challenge 77: fold and cut. Please click on the link to see the lovely creations by the rest of the team and join in our challenge ... either fold and cut ... or anything goes as long as it's Christmas.

I made a folded swing card, using Hunkydory supplies, mounting the two image pieces on to scalloped circles that had been coloured with spectrum noir pens.

The photos were taken from strange angles to avoid flair from the flash.

CHNC challenge 265: use a sentiment

For my CHNC challenge 265: use a sentiment, these are two quick cards that I made just before Christmas and didn't show. I fully intended to make something better this past week, but, because I've been really poorly all week, I haven't been able to do any crafting.

The backgrounds are from a Snowman kit, the toppers are Kanban, with other bits and pieces.

The Glory of Christmas challenge 76

This is my design card for The Glory of Christmas challenge 76: silver or gold ... or anything goes as long as it's Christmas. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of others in the team and join in our Christmas challenge.

It was my turn to choose the theme for this fortnight - I think silver or gold on a Christmas card is lovely and bright and shiny. I chose to make a CAS card, using two stamps, inked with versamark and heat embossed with detail silver powder. I stamped the 'scene' Personal impressions stamp by Sue Dix on to a piece of matt silver - now I wish I had stamped it directly on to the black card blank as I did with the Inkadinkado stamp on the left - but, hey ho!

This is also for Stamplorations January CAS card challenge: + option: silver:

CHNC challenge 264: cute

This is my card for my CHNC challenge 264: cute (or anything goes as long as it's Christmas).

I've used Robyn's Fetish Christmas ginger cutie kindly supplied by them as one of this week's sponsors, colouring with spectrum noir pens, cutting out and mounting on to a couple of die cut mats using some lovely foiled papers I've had for a long time, finally on to a piece of of gingerbread people paper from a Cosy Christmas collection, mounting on to the background paper with the gingerbread houses, again from the Cosy Christmas collection. The die cuts were made using X cut parenthesis rectangle dies. The ribbon was from Crafty Ribbons and felt buttons from Poundland. The chipboard candy cane is one that's been in my Christmas box for ages.

I based the card on the sketch given for Tuesday morning sketches 334:

CHNC challenge extra for January mid-month

I'm wondering how it can possibly already be nearly halfway though January, but it is time for our mid-month inspiration for CHNC challenge extra for January 2016. If you click on the link you will see the wonderland designs by ladies on the DT which are indeed an inspiration - I hope that you will want to join us by making Christmas creations - yes, I know it's early in the year, but it saves the panic towards the end of the year. And besides that ... I love making Christmas cards!

If you have been inspired to come and join us with your entries ... and many thanks to all you wonderful crafters who have already joined in ... please click here for the January post with the linky for your entries .

For my card I used Charmed cards and crafts Dottie and George Christmas downloads (I bought a set of these - and many more besides - but I haven't used any of these for a long time ... I do love them). I decided to keep the background quite clean apart from the offcut of blue card and the silver glitter strip. The image has been matted on to a Kanban topper and three Hobbycraft snowflakes added - these are rippled, which doesn't show up here.

Fan-tastic Tuesday 119

This is my design card for Fan-tastic Tuesday 119: anything goes with a twist ... warm and cosy. Please click on the link to see the lovely designs of others in the team and we would love to see your entries for the challenge.

The image is Star Stampz winter kiss - Star Stampz are sponsoring Fan-tastic Tuesday 119 - I thought these two looked warm and cosy. I coloured with spectrum noir pens and mounted on to an offcut of deep pink mirror card. The background and the piece of card down the side were from my Christmas offcuts box and the glittered strips were left over pieces (another occasion of not using a full strip beneath the image).

CHNC challenge 263: another red card

The challenge for CHNC 263 this week is to use the colour red ... a little or a lot (every second Saturday in the month is going to be a colour challenge this year).

For my second card I have used Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet Kaz Kraftz Christmas stocking, coloured with spectrum noir pens, kindly supplied by another of our sponsors this week (I tried and tried to get a betterphoto, but couldn't - it looks as if the card is crooked, but it isn't).  I used offcut pieces that I found in my Christmas box, including the paper piecing on the stocking imag - the glittered silver strips were also snippets, not having a full length to go all the way across. The 'fur' on the top of the stocking has been glittered with stickles crystal ice:

Suzy Bee's Bloomin' challenge 112

The background picture is one that I rescued from a magazine or advertising leaflet (can't really remember, but I kept it because I thought it was too good to put in the paper recycling bin). I stamped the lovely Stampotique snowman by Jo Capper-Sandon, colouring with spectrum noir pens and cutting out carefully, spraying with stick and stay to place it on the main picture. The sentiment is one I've had for ages. I mounted everything on to a shiny black piece of card - unfortunately, you can't see any of the shine here.

This is my design card for Let's craft and create challenge 109: layer it up - please click on the link to see the beautiful designs of the rest of the team and we would love you to join in the challenge.

I embossed a piece of Core'dinations card using an Embossalicious music embossing folder, sanding the embossing to reveal the core colour. The striped paper is an old piece of The English Paper Company Airy Fairy on to which I stamped one of my favourite Penny Black stamps inked with ColorBox purple and then heat embossed with clear detail powder. The two strips of washi tape were from The Works, the flowers from Poundland and a Hunkydory sentiment label.

More Mixed Media challenge: blue

I feel really privileged to be on the design team for More Mixed Media challenges, although I feel very inadequate for the task.

Well its finally here the start of this new challenge blog and our very 1st challenge for you is any shades of "Blue".

We would like to see some where on your project a shade of Blue for this challenge so it could be the main focal colour or just a hint of the colour some where on your creation.

We would love to see your mixed media work, project life spreads, digital layouts, scrap-booking, pocket letters, up-cycled projects etc. Even though we are a mixed media challenge we dont want to leave anyone out so you can enter with your traditional paper/card layouts so long as we can see the colour for each challenge.

This is my canvas for More Mixed Media challenge: blue, using Spectrum Noir Aqua tints inks and various stencils and stamps, as well as some Pebeo silver gilding wax and white opal liquid pearls. Stencils are Creative Expressions Birch Trees and Sheena Douglass Deer. Snowflake stamps are Inkadinkado

I was really out of my comfort zone doing this (and it shows in the result), but I'm still very glad to have this opportunity. I will try hard to produce something better for next months' More Mixed Media challenge.
