Cheers!

Hi All

I don't normally post 2 cards in one day but just realised that the My Favourite Things-Clean and Simple Challenge ends today-I thought I had a few more days! This got me motivated as I also had an idea for a card for the latest AAA Card Challenge-inspired by a TV show.

Here it is:

Are any of you old enough to remember the comedy show 'Cheers' with the actor Ted Danson? I watched this in my teenage years and loved it. So this card is a nudge to that show. I also have another....more up to date idea for this challenge but lets see if the idea turns into a card...as you know, they don't always!

I made this card as CAS as I could, even for me....I wanted to add some of my enamel dots but stopped myself!

I have used MFT uncorked stamp set for the sentiment and the MFT die-namics wine service for the wine glasses cut in fun foam.

This goes off to my very dear niece who just got a new job!

Enjoy the rest of your day xx

    

Silent Night!

Hi All

I hope your weekend is going well

Here is quick card for you:

This was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch. At first I had no ideas but then DT member Jen's take on the I thought was so creative-I hadn't thought of flipping it over- and an idea popped into my head-thanks Jen for the inspiration-check out her card here

The dies were a pressie from the lovely Kylie and I used glitter card to cut them out. The snowflakes were simply stamped and the sentiment heat embossed in gold-both these are from Winnie and Walter. There is lots of dimension here, with lots of different sections popped up on foam pads-although hard to see in the photo

Inkspirational #171

Hi All

Time for a new challenge at Inkspirational.

But first off we have some very exciting news!
We are expanding our Design Team and have 3 superb designers joining us:

Anila
Marlena
Pia

Welcome Ladies!

I have for a long time been fans of all these amazing designers and can't be happier that they are joining our Ink Team.

If you click on their names above you can go to their blogs and you will just love what you see.....I always do!

Also to find out more about Anila, Marlena and Pia pop on over to Inkspirational-you can also see their first stunning cards for us.

 It is our word prompt and the the word is:

Comfort

I went with the comfort we all feel when hugged!

I used this hugs die from Winnie and Walter

I used a stitched die cut panel cutting some score lines to this. I cut it from some previous watercoloured card and just layered it on some soft peach fun foam so you can see the peach as a shadow. Mounted this all on some lilac card that was the closet match to the die as I could get.

All the Design Team have made super cards for this challenge and pop on over to Inkspirational and take a look.

Then get inky!

Enjoy!

Another Early Morning Make!

A very happy October to you all!

I was crafting earlier today and this is what I made:

Inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch

The dies is Jumping Jack Dies from CAS-ual Fridays ciu from glitter card. The sentiment is also from CAS-ual Fridays but from an old set that has been retired...but I still love it!

Twinkle!

Happy Weekend my crafty friends!

Another very CAS Christmas card for you inspired by the latest sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch. I loved this sketch and knew I had to play along and wanted to make another 'just stamps and ink' card and super, super CAS.....just so my heart could be happy!

This stamp and sentiment are both from Verve-now closed sadly.

I know this looks super simple but boy did I have to play around to get it just how I wanted it. And have to say...I love it!

I have added texture to the base by using my linen embossing plate...naturally!

Have a fun weekend:

Shine Brightly

Hi All,

What do you do when you can't sleep?

I was awake at 3am and by 4.30am gave up and decided to craft.

I have a couple of sketches that have caught my eye recently and here is one of the early morning makes made inspired the one of them. 

My fav kind of card-one layer and just ink and stamps-makes my heart happy!

As soon as I saw the sketch at CAS colour and Sketches I thought Christmas card!

I used a sentiment from Verve (now closed) and some star stamps from a set my crafting friend Gerrina gave me a few years ago-every year I find another stamp in this set I haven't used and ink it up-thank you Gerrina.

This will be entered into:

CAS Colour and Sketches

Water Cooler Wednesday-Holidays.

I will be back tomorrow with another early morning make inspired by another sketch!

Enjoy your day x
