Happy Anniversary, Darnell

I heard on the internet grapevine that it's Darnell's wedding anniversary today, so here is a card for you and Kevin, Darnell:

The picture is a Dottie & George Anniversary download from Charmed card and crafts.

I'm adding one of our wedding photos because there is a special link here to do so:

Winter fun

This little skier and his faithful little friend are having fun in the snow - rather them than me. We had a little snow yesterday, but it soon went - hoping we won't get any more.

Anyway, for this card the central panel was rescued from a card received and mounted on to an offcut piece of mirror card. The Merry Christmas background card is an offcut of some Hunkydory card used earlier.

Sparkly tree ...

... this sparkly tree was too good to discard - a friend received a card with it on and passed it on to me. It didn't need me to do much to it other than put some silver glittered strips down the sides, mounted on to a black card blank and I added the 'with love' circle because there was a bit of a smudge mark on the card!

Fun on the ice

This is a quick card made with an offcut of background paper (My craft studio) and a picture cut from a card received which was then matted on to a snippet piece of gold mirror card and then a piece of deep brown card that was recycled from a frame for a wedding photo. Unfortunately, the picture doesn't look too good hear - it's been printed on a textured card.

Fantasy revisited

Before Christmas I made some stamped shaped cards for a group of crafting friends - in the end I had one spare that I'd made a mess of inside, so I decided to cut and mount it on to a card blank of purple majestic card. The stamped tree is Penny Black fantasy inked with versamark and heat embossed with detail gold powder.

Two from one

Earlier today I decided I needed to tidy my craft stuff and on the work surface I had some Christmas cards that we'd received and quite a few offcuts and bits and pieces - it seemed silly to put them away, so I've had a session making a few cards - you can't really call it crafting, it's more like 'stick the bits together', but it's a few more cards done. Mind you, my craft space is just as cluttered as when I started because I've added to the mess!

These two cards were made from one recycled one cut in two pieces and mounted on to blue card blanks, adding some silver glittered strips and peel off sentiments:

Pink inspiration

I went over to Order of the opus gluei a while ago to see what the challenge is for the next fortnight and found that it's a pink colour challenge. So this is for Order of the opus gluei 148.

I love tinkering around on the computer with pictures, so, when I saw what Gini had to say and saw her pink example, I was inspired to go back to a favourite My Craft Studio CD 'Tinkering with steampunk' to create something pink. Thank you, Gini, for the inspiration that nudged me to get on with something I love doing, but often forget about.

The project was also inspired by the photo given  for Digitally sweet 18:

Having added items and playing around with various elements, colours, fades, etc I came up with this picture which I can then use on a card:

Doily birthday

For this card I've followed the sketch for The craft's meow for January:

I have a subscription for Papercraft Inspirations monthly magazine and I keep meaning to cancel it - only got it in the first place because there were some useful goodies if you joined - anyway, every month that it arrives I think 'Oh well, perhaps I'll keep getting it' ... today it arrived and there was a free pack of doilies - three different sizes, so I thought it wouldn't be extravagant to use all three sizes on a card. The lovely patchwork background paper had been in my offcuts box for some time - can't remember where it originally came from. It is a shiny paper (you can't tell that here). The felt flowers have been in a pack on my work surface for a couple of weeks or more and just seemed to be crying out to be used with the patchwork paper. The epoxy hearts and sentiment from stash.

CHNC challenge 107: Rudolph is resting

Those of you who follow my blog and my CHNC challenges might remember that the challenge for last week was 'Santa has gone into hiding' - well, this week CHNC challenge 107 is 'Rudolph is resting' - make any Christmas card that doesn't feature Rudolph or any other reindeer.

CHNC challenge has three sponsors, one of which is Bugaboo Stamps who kindly supplied an image called 'snow friends window' which I printed out and coloured with copics. The background paper on my A5 card is Basic Grey Dasher 'flannel shirt' - I used two offcuts that have been in my Christmas box for some time - I didn't have a piece that would cover the whole card front, but it was good that I knew I was going to use ribbons across the card so they filled the gap between the two offcuts. The paper behind the image is another from my offcuts box, this time from Docrafts.

My card is based on Freshly made sketches 68:

A touch of teal ...

... for this card I've used papers and elements from a Docrafts 'touch of teal' kit that I bought a long time ago - probably four or five years. The card was made from offcuts, one piece being cut with a scalloped nestie and then brushed with black soot distress ink.

The card is based on the January: between the lines sketch on Kathy's waffle sketch file:

Colours are for Daring cardmakers January colour challenge:

Another one for Mema's crafts favourites of 2012

As I said in the previous post, Mema's crafts are asking us to show our favourite card of the year and they are allowing us to make two choices, so now I've had another hard decision to pick my next favourite from my original Top twelve of 2012.

I'm choosing a digital project I did in February 2012, which I had great fun creating - this was the original post: You are my queen of hearts:

Favourites of 2012 for Mema's crafts

Regular visitors to my blog will know that at the beginning of the year I post my 12 favourite cards of the previous year - one for each month, which I did for my Top twelve of 2012.

Mema's crafts are asking us to show our favourite card of the year - it was difficult to choose one for each month, but much more difficult to choose one for the whole year, but I think it has to be the birthday card that I made for mum in November, partly because I was really pleased with the card, but also because it was for my mum. This is the link for the original post Mum's birthday.

From our house to yours

This is another card using a recycled element - the lovely sparkly tree, to which I've added a bit of red colour with a copic pen and also used this for the edges. papers are Christmas Home at Teresa Collins, the band of black flowers and the sentiment are from stash. This is an A5 card because the tree image is quite large.

This is for:

That craft place: Christmas
Pile it on 1: black, white and another colour
Hiding in my craft room 79: black & white + 1
Desert island 45: I choose glitter, gems, black & white + one colour
Paper pretties Wednesday 239: bling
Crafty mess 24: show some sparkle/bling
Mark's finest papers speedy fox and friends 141: take a Christmas card you received and use part of it to make your card

And, of course, it's another Christmas card for my CHNC challenge 106 and also for my CHNC challenge extra for January - why not make an early start on your Christmas cards and join in - I'd love to see you there.

Christmas Home

'Christmas Home' is the name of the Teresa Collins background paper that I've used for this card. The main image is one recycled from a card received - the holly berries have been glittered - backed on to red card and the spiked circle was also recycled from another card and matted on to another nestie die cut. The little 'merry Christmas' sentiment is one that has been in my Christmas sentiments box for ages. The strip of black gems were from Poundland.

This was based on the square sketch for Mojo Monday 274:

CHNC challenge 106: Santa has gone into hiding

It's time for the first CHNC challenge of 2013 - for challenge 106 I'm asking you to create any Christmas card that doesn't feature Santa because he was working so hard before Christmas 2012 that he has now gone into hiding! The chance to win a prize this week has tripled because of the generosity of so many sponsors I am now able to offer at least two prizes a week and sometimes three - this week there are three.

Don't forget that any card that you enter into my CHNC weekly challenges can also be added to my CHNC challenge extra monthly challenge which is being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.

For my card I've used a new stamp that I received in the post a yesterday. When we were away in Maidstone  about three months ago I saw this stamp in a craft shop, but hesitated to buy it - when I went back it had gone, so I searched on the internet and managed to get one nearly half price in a sale - result!

The stamp is from Stampendous called 'snowy postcard' - I inked with memento rich cocoa and it stamped beautifully first time. I torn the edges of the white card and brushed with vintage photo distress ink. For a change I've not used any designer paper, just a snippet strip of foiled brown and gold down the side (because only top and bottom showed I got away with using a small offcut) and a gold sentiment, both of which have been in my stash for years and needed using.

Guest Designer for Playing in Paradise 98

I was honoured to be invited to be a Guest Designer for Playing in Paradise 98 where the challenge is to use something new.

I decided to make a tri-fold square card, using new papers from Authentique peaceful collection.

For the front I used new stamps that I had purchased while on holiday in Eastbourne but hadn't previously inked them. The doorway is from PaperArtsy HP1011 set, the script from HP1007 and the flower shapes from HPXT02, all inked with memento tuxedo black. Black soot distress ink was used to brush the edges and across the doorway. The corrugated flower shapes are from Hobbycraft.

 I stamped the middle panel with elements from PaperArtsy HPXT02, again inking with tuxedo black and brushing edges with black soot.

So everything used was new. Please visit Playing in Paradise 98 to see the wonderful creations members of the regular team have made.

The final Guy's life card ...

... the fourth card made with a piece of the Guy's life earthtones vellum - yay! I used up the snippets without them going in the box! I've used some of the brads again and a cut out of a car that's been lurking for ages and ages (think it was part of a magazine freebie originally) and a sentiment.

Guy's life again ...

... I thought I ought to use up the other two 6 x 6 pieces of Guy's life earthtones vellum rather than put it in my offcuts box, so here is another card, once again using up some brads I've had for ages and a Sizzix die cut car in red mirror with silver headlights (although they look black here) - I hardly ever use my Sizzix dies nowadays, which is silly because I have boxes of them - must try and remember them (or at least some of them).The addition of a sentiment and the card was done.

Guy's life ...

... having made a card earlier using some Guy's Life earthtones vellum which has been in my pile of 12 x 12 papers for what seems like forever I decided I ought to try and make cards with the offcuts rather than banish those to a box never to see the light of day.

So I've dug out some deckle edged stamped images of motocrycles - this one is embossed, although it doesn't like it here - I inked the edges with a Marvy alcohol pen - and I found a sentiment that matched up. Once again I've used some of the brads I've been hoarding for years, so all in all, I'm quite pleased with using up some old stuff.

I've discovered that vellum is nearly as difficult to photograph as mirror card!

I just had to use it ...

... as soon as I saw an M & S gift card that John had received for his birthday, I just had to demolish the card that it came in and recycle it on to a card with a Guy's Life earthtones vellum that I've had for years and never used. I've also used some brads that have been hoarded for years. I've covered up the M & S wording on the pocket of the shirt with the birthday greeting. I'm so impressed that this gift card even has real buttons on it - what crafter could resist using this? Not me!

Winter wonderland

For this card I've used a background piece of My Paper Stash 'red snowflakes', added a decoupaged image etc at the base - this was recycled from a card received. Crystal ice stickles was added to the centres of the snowflakes and across the bottom. I had to take the photograph at an angle because the background is mirror card which reflects so much head-on with flash.

This is another card for both my CHNC challenge 105 and my new CHNC challenge extra for January (where monthly challenges will always be 'anything goes') - if you haven't discovered these Christmas challenge blogs yet, please click on the links and join in.
