Some more joy and love for CHNC challenge 136

This is my second card for CHNC challenge 136: spread a little joy and love, for which I used digital papers from the Ooh la la Everyday Occasions CD-rom and used 'snowrag' from Crafts4eternity, all kindly supplied by the sponsors. I coloured the image with copics and tore round the papers with oval perspex templates.

CHNC challenge 136: spread a little joy and love

As it's Saturday, there's a new challenge on my Christmas blog - CHNC challenge 136: spread a little joy and love - interpret in whatever way you wish.

For my first card I've used toppers and papers from Ooh-la-la  Everyday Occasions CD-rom, raising the final layer of the topper with foam pads. This is an A5 card.

Put on your dancing shoes and

Celebrate!

A CAS card using the lovely My Sentiments Exactly shoe stamp twice, inked with versamark and heat embhossed with silver sparkle glitter embossing powder. I just fancies making something a bit different and I love this stamp and don't often get to use it.

The wording was generated on computer and printed (after a few trial attempts on paper).

This is for Less in more 130 where this Pinterest picture was shared:

Unfortunately, the glittered embossing doesn't show up too well - get a bit better idea from this close up:

The sweet pea stampers challenge: embossing

Today's new challenge on The Sweet Pea Stampers is 'embossing - wet or dry or both'. The challenge is hosted by Team A, but Team B are invited to join in if they wish, so I've made this card. I stamped ching-chou kuik's fantasy art collection 'flowing in blue' with versafine onyx black and heat embossed with detail black powder. I coloured with promarkers.The embossed matt silver panel on the left was created with an embossalicious folder 'floral vine' using my eBosser. I coloured the image with spectrum noirs, choosing to use pinks, lilacs and greens rather than blues. The panel behind the image is a foiled piece of Hunkydory card with ribbons and gems from Hobbycraft. The flowers are Papermania and prima and the acetate friends circle is one that I've had for ages, as is the sentiment 'to a special friend'.

The colour scheme is fine for LiaStampz 46:

Winter bear tag

This is a tag using Christmas scraps and featuring the winter bear digital image from Dilly Beans for their 'make a tag' challenge. I edged the tag with fired brick distress ink and added the piece of tartan ribbon. This is quite a large tag - about 5.5 inches tall. I might try and incorporate it on to a card eventually.

Birthday wishes

This is for the colours given for Color my heart 53:

The main embossed paper was created with a new Embossalicious folder run through the eBosser. I swiped this with some versamagic pink grapefruit ink. The fishtail piece of embossing was done with a little folder that was free with a magazine. I stamped directly on to the Dovecraft doily inking the Magenta stamp with stazon vibrant voilet. I then added the Craftime sentiment and the prima flower spacer.

Summer picnic ...

... complete with ants! Wasn't sure about including them at first, but they were with the miscellaneous stickers I was using, so thought I might as well add them and it was only afterwards the I realised that I'd stuck them right close to where there's an ant on the DCWV paper!

Christmas silver extravaganza

This is my third card as one of the design team for Christmas cards all year round August: Christmas extravaganza - make it fussy and fancy.

This is another 8 x 8 card. The silver mirror card punched circle was cut with my mini 8 snowflakes punch and the smaller one was also cut with that using a piece of Hunkydory foiled card.

The image is Kanban spring silhouettes (but I think it can double up as snowflakes with a bit of imagination - lol!) inked with versamark and heat emhossed with detail silver powder, with the addition of some sparkly flower gems from Hobbycraft., cut out with a nestie die. Punched snowflakes were added at the corners with little pearls.

More Christmas extravaganza

This is my second card for Christmas cards all year round August: Christmas extravanganza - make it fussy and fancy. Please come and join us if you can.

This is a large 8 x 8 card with a piece of Hunkydory foiled card in the background, topped with a piece of Kaisercraft turtle dove script paper. I overlaid this with a piece of snowy acetate. The embossed strip is an offcut from using an eBosser folder. The image is a glittered one that was part of a set that I bought long ago (have loads of them left). Flowers are prima and the strips of pearls from stash.

It's time for the August challenge on Christmas cards all year round and today the theme is: Christmas Extravaganza - make it fussy and fancy, so this is my first card as one of the Design Team. Please go over to CCAYR and see all the fussy and fancy cards made by other members of the team and, hopefully, join in the Christmas extravaganza.

CHNC challenge extra for August

Can you believe that it's now August? Where has the year gone to so far? The months really do pass more quickly as you get older.

This means it's time to start CHNC challenge extra for August and for my first Christmas card of the month I've used three images kindly supplied by Bugaboo Stamps, the sponsor: wise man 1, 2 and 3 and combined them into one image. Please click on the link for the challenge and join in with any Christmas cards you make.

The background paper is a freebie with a magazine from some time in the distant past. The mirror card pieces were all from my offcuts box including the one embossed with the folder that came with my eBosser. Ribbon was from Lakeland (in their after-Christmas sale).

I coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers.

I followed the sketch for 2 sisters 154:

Old-school colour blocking

This card is for CCEE 1330: old school colour blocking - 'I'm asking you to use one particular style only - several different colours/patterns of card cut into block shapes and pieced together, with stamping on some/all of them.'

It's a good way to use up scraps! And used one of my favourite Santa Hero Arts stamps.

Springy trains

When a friend saw my card with wobbly dinosaurs, she asked if I could make a card with trains on springs. Fortunately, I had some Papermania mini springs and found up a Hunkydory topper and a railcard padded sticker that seemed suitable. The backing paper is Basic Grey Obscure, on to which I printed the wavy railway line. The sentiments were from Kanban.

The card doesn't look as dull in real life!

A birthday insert is being added inside.

White Christmas

Yesterday's challenge for Facebook Sunday's with Santa week 30 was 'shades of white' - I've kept to the challenge except for the stazon ultramarine ink for stamping - well, white wouldn't have shown up, would it? Lol! The sentiment stamp is from Personal Impressions.

It's always difficult to get a photo of white on white, so this is the best I can do, especially as the rain came just as I wanted to get the photo.

Everything used was from my offcut boxes, including the glittered swirl pieces originally from Poundland. Ribbons from Hobbycraft.

Commissioned wedding card

I was asked to make an A4 size wedding day card using green. I remembered that some years ago I bought some lovely Carol Wilson papers and among them was the pagoda shape that I've used. I had to have several attempts to get the text the right size to fit the apertures, but when I was happy with it, I printed out on to an offcut of prima green paper. The background foiled card is Hunkydory, the flowers are Craftime and the silver ribbon from stash.

I know it looks odd, but please note that as I didn't want to show the names of the recipients I digitally used a distortion brush so they can't be seen. The actual names have been printed downwards in the two smaller spaces.

On the insert it says:

Wishing both of you love and happiness ever after

Folded Christmas tree card

It's Karen's turn to set the challenge for the Christmas Card Club and she asked us to make a card that included a teabag/origami folded topper. This was indeed a challenge for me! I played around with a few ideas, but then settled on making a teabag folded tree following this Youtube link.

All papers, including the gold foiled vellum beneath the tree were all from my Christmas offcuts box and the stars were from Poundland. I inked the bottom edges of the tree sections with a copic pen.

The fold foiling on the vellum doesn't show up there, but you get some idea of what it looks like from this close up on a section:

CHNC challenge 135: snowmen or women

It's Saturday again and time for a new CHNC challenge - for CHNC challenge 135 I'm asking to see snowmen or women.

My card features a small printed version of  'Frosty the snowman' added to the 'snowy postbox' image by Delicious Doodles, one of the sponsors.

Papers are from my Christmas offcuts box, ribbon is a left over piece of white and silver snowflakes. The snowflake ripple stickers were from Hobbycraft.

If you've seen my previous post, you'll know that, having stamped a card blank wrongly, I had the idea of making ten cards out of five card blanks, which I've done here as well.

These blank card blanks already had the random silver foiling on the edges, so all I've done is inked the Tin can mail stamp with versamark and heat embossed with silver detail powder.

So that's another two packs of 5 Christmas cards ready for selling for Tearfund.

These are for:
