Christmas Card Sketch

A Christmas card today, inspired by a sketch on the Nifty Noodles Crafting Facebook page.

The papers are all snippets from an old paper pad from The Works.  I used a punch for the snowflake (another snippet) and layered it on Memory Box stitched circles.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Greatest Part of Christmas' set, stamped with Night of Navy. The layered sentiment is raised up on foam pads.

Allsorts Challenge ~ Autumn Colours

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Brenda has chosen the theme of 'Autumn Colours'.  There is also the Anything Goes option as we love to see all your creations.  For my DT card I've made an Autumn themed birthday card for a friend who is celebrated her birthday this month.

The background is a Stamp Addicts 'Bead Curtain' stamp, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Acorn'.  I coloured some of the little circles in the background with Promarkers in autumn colours.  The acorn and leaf are Tonic 'Autumnal Oak' die cuts, layered on Memory Box stitched circles.  I added three dark green enamel dots and a sentiment to finish off my card.

The prizes for this challenge are stamps from Stamp Addicts and a $25 Simon Says voucher.

A card for a friend who recently celebrated her 60th birthday.

The card base was made with a Crafter's Companion 'Triple-Stepper' set of dies.  I used a stamp from the Lavinia 'Bumble and Hum' set of stamps and added some colour with a yellow Promarker and a Wink of Stella clear glitter brush on the wings.  The patterned paper is from The Range.

CAS

A quick CAS card today.

I bought this preloved Poppystamps 'Floribunda Collage' die a few months ago.  I tested it on a snippet of of white card to see what it looked like..... and the die cut has just sat on on my craft table.  I needed to make a quick birthday card and I spotted this die cut waiting to be used.  I cut it into rectangle to fit a 6" x 6" square card blank.  The purple mat was a snippet too.  I stamped a sentiment with a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Best Year' using Versafine Clair 'Monarch'.  A few clear gems were added in the centre of the flowers and the card was finished.
