Time to Celebrate!

Morning All,

It's Friday and that is a good enough reason to celebrate!

Here is a card I made yesterday for a few challenges:

I used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.

The cue word 'Cheer' at CASology

And the theme of 'Food and/or Drink' at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge

The die is from My Favourite Things

Have a fun day.

          

Time Out Challenges #97

Hi All,
Time for a new challenge at Time Out Challenges

It is our 'Inspired by Words' challenge and the words are:

You can use any of these words or the whole phrase to inspire you.

I went with the whole phrase and made this card:

This stamp is from our sponsor Stamplorations-This is the stamp set-Unknown Blessings

I used some scrap brusho card and heat embossed the stamp onto this. Used some foam pads to give the card dimension.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the truly inspiring Izzy. I love visiting Izzy's blog and urge you to pop on over there.

Izzy and our DT have made some fabulous cards-check them out here and then get inky!

Inkspirational #148

Hi There,

Today at Inkspirational we have our Designer's choice challenge and it is our very talented teamie Yvonne who has chosen:

Christmas Cards using Neutral Colours only-black can be used for sentiments.

I went with kraft and white

This die cut snowflake was a pressie from crafting buddy and dear friend Nonni. I just love it and adding the wood dot in the centre just seems the perfect finishing touch. This card is very CAS but it is one of my favs I have made this year.

The sentiment is from STAMPlorations

Our DT have all made super cards-have a look here for plenty of inspiration.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very talented Heidi. Check out her blog here-you will love what you see.

Time for you to get inky x

Inspired by All the Little Things/Muse take 2!

Hi There

I am popping in really quickly with another card inspired by the photo at Inspired by All the Little Things and Ardyth's card at Muse

Again the grey base on both the card and photo inspired. The glitter of the tree in both and the die cut in Ardyth's card. My 'peace' is actually covered in WOS but hard to see in the photo.

Love that embossed tree background and gave me the chance to use cream and white together-a combo I love in card making.

Have a fun day x

Inspired by All the Little Things/Muse

Hi All

Another card from me today!

This card was inspired by the fabulous photo at Inspired by All the Little Things and Ardyth's card at The Muse Card Challenge

My card:

And the photo the photo:

And Ardyth's card:

I loved this photo and card as soon as I saw them:

These are the elements that I took from the photo:

-the grey background which I used as my card base and the background of my bauble

-the white sparkle tree-die cut my tree from glitter card

-the clear baubles-gave me the idea to make a bauble and use acetate for it.

-the string of the bauble mixed with the holey design of the cushion-led me to use pokey holes for my bauble string

-the cushion at the edge led me to use the touch of glitter washi at the edge of my card-CAS look of the photo!!

And from Ardyth's-practically the same!
-the grey base
-the white tree with added sparkle
-the clear drops led to the acetate
-CAS design

Yes....this card really was totally inspired by all these tiny details from the photo. I just love it when there is so much in such a CAS photo that you can use to make a card.

One of my fav cards to date this year.

Hi There

Popping in with a card I made yesterday inspired by the latest challenge at Fusion

I was inspired by the wreath in the photo and the gold on white writing. Plus I followed the sketch. I heat embossed the wreath stamp in gold and then cut the Big and Bold Merry Cutaway from Winnie and Walter from glitter fun foam.

Have a good day x
