As usual it is anything goes and will close on Saturday 3rd January. Come on, join in....

I've made this card using the Lillibet Plane Stamp and Lillibet Designer Paper Pack. I love colouring this images.

Santa Claus is coming to town

I made this card for a friend who loves visiting London. I used the Xcut Scene-it Dies against a printed background of the full moon. I then cut the santa and sleigh out on my Silhouette, and added detail behind the die cuts using foil in the windows of Westminster Abbey and mirror card in the Gherkin. I printed the clock face to fit Big Ben from a Serif cd and to complete the details I added silver hub caps to the cabs and black on the glitter card red bus. It was great fun to make and my friend loved it.

I will be entering the card into the following challenges:-

Getting ahead!

I expect everyone is busy with Christmas preparations but I wanted to remind you that  challenge #33 is still running on the Scribble and Scrap Blog.

I decided to get ahead of myself and make a New Year card using the 
Gorjuss - White Rabbit Stamp  with Dovecraft Curiousity Corner Papers both available from Scribble and Scrap.

 

I stamped Gorjuss onto white card then masked her off to stamp and emboss the background. I found the background stamps in my stash of magazine freebies. I think they are from the Chronology range. I then coloured her using promarkers, and I decided to give her a little mouth on this outing. The Gorjuss stamp set includes 12 stamps in total which is great value and one of the extra stamps is a blank watch which I stamped and decoupaged onto the main image so I could set the time to 12 o'clock. I then used peel off waste to create the watch chain and some die cut cogs as embellishments.

 

Matted and layered onto black card with a printed sentiment and she's ready to see in 2015!!

Adrift...on life's journey

Here we go again giving you another opportunity to win over at Challenge #33 at Scribble and Scrap as always the theme is anything goes and the challenge runs for 2 weeks closing on 20th December.

I made this card for a friend's birthday using Santoro Mirabelle Adrift Stamp and Craftwork Cards - Postcard From Paris 8x8 Papers. The embossed sentiment 'Everyday is a journey' and postcard logo were from a free gift set of stamps, and the floral embellishments were a charity shop find. I have found my embossing has improved now I use the Cosmic Shimmer fine embossing powder. I usually colour stamp the image and then use clear embossing powder rather than using coloured embossing powder as it can be messier, and it's more expensive to have lots of powders rather than inks.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:-

A Magical Season

Firstly, the new 7 Day Deal over at Scribble and Scrap Crafts has just started and from now until 9am next Sunday (or while stock lasts) all the dies in the shop is reduced by 10%.  All you need to do is select your items and add the code Dies10 at checkout.  Make sure you remember to add the code as the discount cannot be applied once you have completed checkout. 

And now, just a little midway reminder of  challenge #31 over at  Scribble and Scrap Crafts challenge blog

I'm still trying to get some Christmas cards made so decided to do this one with the beautiful Die-Namics Let it snowflake dies. It really is such an inexpensive card to make. I just cut a section out of my card and then joined it together using the glittered snowflakes across the open area, and the tag sentiment that I printed on my laptop. It's rather more sparkly in the flesh than in the photo and I'm quite pleased with it, although I say it myself LOL.
