2nd card today

I really like this card (even if I say so myself!). It's really bright and vibrant.

I'm entering this into the Penny Black challenge blog. Unfortunately, I don't have many Penny Black stamps, so I have to be creative with what I do have.


This card is going into 2 challenges:


Charisma Cardz - sketch
Penny Black - the theme is summertime


I hope you like it.

Thank you notelets

I made these super cute thank you notelets. 

Each notelet is only 3" x 3" but that is all you need to say thank you!


I've used the Stampin' Up! confetti stamp and then punched out the owl and stuck him on with pads so he is slightly raised on the card.


Always handy to have as you never know when you need them!

Full of hearts

Here is a card I made a couple of weeks ago. It is a gatefold card with a square in the middle.

And this is the card opened.

You can see that I inked the edges of the cream and the red panels to give it a bit of a vintagy feel.


Would love to know what you think and appreciate all your comments.

Get me!!!!   He he


It's a beautiful day here and I've been busy with another card.

This is one is a little different to my normal style and I have used the free papers and ribbon that came with Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine. The felt flower is from my own stash.


The stamp is by Little Claire and coloured with promarkers.

Surprise surprise! It's a card

Here I am again and I'm going to show you another card.
Now, I need to be a bit more chatty on here I know, but I find that really tricky!!! Hopefully I'll get better at it as time goes on.

When I was making this card I ran out of the normal glue I use and couldn't get any more. So after routing around the office I found some liquid Pritt Stick. Ta da! Or so I thought. I was soooo disappointed with it. Lesson learnt and wont be using that again!

Allsorts Challenge - the theme was flowers
The Sweetest Thing - sketch to follow


Hope you like it!

Red, white and blue

Hi!

Well I had to jump in with everyone else making red, white and blue cards. There is such a buzz at the moment!

I used a Penny Black stamp called Sweet Thing and I coloured her with promarkers. The papers were free  in a magazine and the hello stamp and embossed butterflies are from Stampin' Up!

This card is going to be entered into a couple of challenges. They are:

Passion for Promarkers - the theme was a sketch
The Pink Elephant - there was a photo for inspiration
Papertake Weekly - the theme was Anything Goes
Ribbon Carousel - the theme was Independence Day; red, white and blue

I hope you like it.

It's that time of year!!

It's almost like swearing.... Christmas!!!

Well, if like me you do craft fairs then it's time to start thinking about the dreaded C word. I know I've done it before and left making these cards 'til later but I'm always rushed in the end.

I have to be honest and say I'm not so keen on this one. Whether that's because it's my first seasonal card and I don't want to acknowledge that I need to get on and make lots more, I don't know.

Anyway, I'm going to enter this card into a few challenges. They are:

Secret crafter - the theme is Christmas
Sketch Saturday - sketch
Christmas Card Challenge - Monochromatic
The Paper Players - Christmas in July

Have you started your big C crafting yet?
