Suzy Bee's Bloomin' challenge 1: embossing

The day has finally arrived!

I am so thrilled to be on the design team for Suzy Bee's Bloomin' challenge blog right from the beginning. If you haven't visited there yet, please do so and see what other members of the team have made for Challenge 1: embossing - and please join in the challenge.

The challenge is being sponsored by Lacy Sunshine who will be giving the winner a $20 gift certificate to spend in their online shop. Lacy Sunshine provided the team with images to use and mine is 'Daisy Sue'.

I decided to put my embossing on the inside of the card, cutting away the front to reveal some of this from the outside. The embossing was done with the Embossaliacious 'floral vine' folder, brushed with spiced marmalade distress ink.

The main piece of patterned paper on the front is an offcut of My Mind's Eye Alphabet Soup Girl 'sweet song'. The torn ovals behind the image are offcuts of pieces from a magazine freebie. I coloured the image with spectrum noirs. I printed the sentiment and added the piece of ribbon.

I decorated the inside of the oval with a piece of paper from my offcuts box.

Another new home card

For this card I've used the same image as the previous card, just making it bigger - once again, coloured with spectrum noirs (they are fast taking over from copics, which I used to prefer).

This card is based on the sketch for Sweet Sunday sketch 196:

The card blank was ready decorated and I added a piece of embossed card on the right and some scraps across the top and behind the image.

New home

I've been a bit absent from blogland in the last few days, for a few reasons, one being that I have a card sale at a friend's home tomorrow. I've been making cards, but no time to blog them, except the design team ones that need to be shown.

Anyway, I've been asked to take some new home cards with me and particularly with a cottage on, so for this card I used a cottage digital image from Cuddly Buddly, coloured with spectrum noirs.

I based the card on the sketch for The sweet stop 234:

I used an offcut of gingham paper that had come with a magazine, tearing the bottom. The image was mounted on to an offcut of red card. The card blank is embossed. Sorry the photo is crooked, but it was taken in a hurry.

CHNC challenge extra for November

Can you believe that it's now November?! It's scary how quickly yet another year has been going - it's true that as you get older, time seems to go more and more quickly.

It's time for CHNC challenge extra for November and this is my card using 'reindeer leap' kindly supplied by Bugaboo Stamps, who are always our generous sponsors. There is a prize of $21 of digital images for the randomly chosen winner at the end of the month. You can join in with anything, as long as it is Christmas.

I coloured the image digitally in Paint and matted it on to an offcut of red mirror card, adding a 3D sticker in the corner. The card blank was ready printed with the repeat patterns of Santa's sleigh and reindeer. With the addition of some of my favourite spotted grosgrain ribbon and red and gold foiled sentiment and the card was finished.

Cheerful Stamp Pad 72: purple and yellow

Today's Cheerful Stamp Pad challenge 72 is a colour one: purple and yellow. This is being sponsored by Jelly Park who kindly supplied the design team with some digital images to use. Some of us were given halloween witch - click on the link to see this and perhaps buy it.

I don't usually do any crafting for Halloween because it's just not my thing, so I was a bit stumped as to what to do for my design team card for Cheerful Stamp Pad challenge 72. So I used the colours of the challenge and the digital image that had been supplied, coloured with spectrum noirs, with the caption generated by my dymo letratag:

The background cream gold foiled card is Hunkydory and I also used offcuts of HD purple and gold foiled card. The strips of yellow and purple card on the left were made with my gelli plate, acrylic paints and stencils. Stars from stash.

The colours used are good for Color my heart 66:

The Glory of Christmas challenge 19: homemade background

It's time for a new challenge on The Glory of Christmas, so for challenge 19 we're asking to see homemade backgrounds. Please click on the link and join in with our challenge. You might like to make your own background with some embossed card or stamping ... or any other method that produces a homemade background.

For my design card I used an Embossalicious 'seasonal music' embossing folder run through my eBosser using some white pearlescent card and brushed the embossed card with broken china distress ink. The snowman is Mr Snowman, a Spellbinders shapeability, cut twice to produce the background as well as the foreground brushed with the distressing ink. The glittery ribbon is some that I've had for quite a while and the Winter Wonderland sentiment is one that has been in a box for ages.

This is also another card for my own CHNC challenge 148: music.

CHNC challenge 148: music

It's beginning to be a serious time for making Christmas cards. Yes, I've been making them throughout the year, but I still need to make more. I expect you do too, so why not join my CHNC challenge 148 - you just have to make a music related card - either include some music paper or base the card on a particular piece of music.

For my card I used My Paper World Christmas motives stamp with versafine onyx black with Kaisercraft turtle dove papers, including the one that the image was stamped on.

12 days of Christmas

I'm late, I'm late for a very important date ... Apologies to Sue P who chose the '12 days of Christmas' for this fortnight's CCC challenge and to all the other girls. I should have posted this Sunday, but things got in the way.

When I was thinking what to do for this I remembered I had a 'partridge in a pear tree' stamp somewhere, which I was going to use. But when I was looking for something else I found some Hunkydory card and elements that were perfect for this challenge - 'A partridge in a pear tree' from their Stylish Season collection.

The card split nicely into two, with the first three items from the song on the first one and the last three on the second one. I will have the other days to use on future cards.

The holly bears a berry as white as the milk

'The holly bears a berry ...'  (Sans Day Carol) is a beautiful Christmas carol that isn't sung very often. For this card I've used offcuts of the stitched paper with stars (originally wrapping paper), some Papermania red and white paper and a small piece of card rescued from a cracker two or three years ago (not much of this left now). The holy was upcycled from a card received. Spotty grosgrain ribbon from stash.

Cheerful Stamp Pad challenge 71: let's stencil continued

Cheerful Stamp Pad challenge 71: let's stencil continues today with some more inspiration from the team. To enter the challenge and see the inspiration from last week please click here. We would love to see the creations you make using a stencil or mask. The challenge is being sponsored by Stencilgirl products.

So this is my design team card for Let's stencil. Background created by first dabbing scrunched paper on to acrylic paint on a gelli plate creating a mottled effect, then using two Clarity Stamp stencils to finish the background with different colours of acrylic. Stamps were inked with stazon black - the collage at the bottom is a Paper Artsy stamp, other stamps are My Mind's Eye.

A new home

This is a card I made the other day using the front of a shaped card matted on to the red card blank. I was going to leave the shaped card as it was, but the only piece that created a fold was at the bottom and I'm not sure that it would have survived handling ... and, in any case, it means that I've got the back of the card to use for a future one.

I masked off the roof so that I could run the 'wall' through my cuttlebug with the bricks embossing folder and I then swiped the embossed surface with fired brick distress ink, using the same at the top of the chimney with some brown corduroy lighted brushed on the roof.  With the addition of the sentiment and the mirror card door, the card was finished.

Special birthday

I was asked to make a birthday card for a 70 year old featuring a garden and flowers. I used a spotted pink background paper, on to which I matted gold mirror card and then used some Kanban pieces to create three layers of invertage for a garden scene. The flowers are craftime.

CHNC challenge 147: peace

Don't the weeks go by quickly? Here we are again at Saturday and time for CHNC challenge 147, which, this week is all about 'peace' - please click on the link to see what it's about and, hopefully, join in with your own Christmas cards the depict 'peace'.

One of today's sponsors is CAS-ual Fridays and they generously supplied me with a set of stamps called 'Christmas Carols' - you can see them here - some of which I've used on my card, as well as a dove stamp I already had.

I'm annoyed with myself because I made this card a while ago in readiness for this challenge and didn't record what papers these were and now I can't remember and can't find the original pad they came from. I think they are Kaisercraft 'turtle dove'. but If anyone can help and tell me what they actually are, I'll be delighted. They are beautiful papers - as you can see the one used inside the gatefold is gold foiled. I heat embossed all of the images I used with detail gold powder.

The paperclips are only there to hold the card closed for the photo.

Birthday bunting ...

... and cake.

Daring cardmakers are celebrating their 7th birthday (incredible to think that it was 7 years ago that this wonderful challenge blog started). Their challenge for this week is 'Birthday banners and bunting'  and thee is a lovely prize from Tea house bridge.

The background paper of my card is by Best Creation Inc. The bunting is taken from some Flutterbys paper garland. The glittered cupcakes are some left over from a Kanban kit (still got quite a bit of the kit actually, even though I've used lots).
