Allsorts Challenge ~ Emboss - heat/dry

Dena has chosen the theme of' 'Emboss heat/dry' for this week's Allsorts Challenge.  So I hope you will get out your embossing folders or embossing powders and joining in the challenge.  There is always the optional Anything Goes.

A made a card for friends who recently celebrated their 49th Anniversary.

 

The image is a digi stamp from Bugaboo, unfortunately the digi stamps are no long available.  I coloured the image with Promarkers.  I used an Xcut 'Small Polka Hearts' embossing folder for the background.

Our generous sponsors this month are Prizes from Stampendous and Oakwood Direct and WOWVOW

The Allsorts DT have made some beautiful creations for the challenge, so please hop over the challenge blog for some inspiration.

Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge

This month many bloggers are remembering Janis Woolbright by joining in the Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge.  This is the only cat themed Christmas stamp I have, so I made this Tri Panel Z Card so I can join in the challenge with a card.

The image is a stamp by Little Claire Designs which unfortunately is no longer available.  The image is coloured with Promarkers and I added Glossy Accents to the bauble to make it 3D and shiny.  The patterned paper is from a paper pad from The Works called 'I'll be Gonk for Christmas'

Snowman's Gift

The 25th of the month is here again, so time for the penultimate 2023 Rudolph Days Challenge.  A crafty friend gave me the heads up that a fairly local charity shop had a donation of some crafty goodies, so I took a little trip there and this is one of the stamps I bought.  I inked it up for the first time, so I'll be sharing my card over in the NBUS challenge.  As it was fairly quick to make, I made six of this design.

The image is an Inkylicious 'Frosty Gift' stamp, stamped with Mememto 'Tuxedo Black and coloured with Promarkers.  I die cut the image with a stitched rectangle die and layered it on a green mat.  The sentiment is a Stampin' Up stamp and I added three red and silver card candy.

Congratulations

A congratulations card I made for my great nephew to tell him how proud we are for getting a special school award.

The card shape was made with a PressCut stepper die and I used navy blue and matt silver card to decorate it.   The large stars are Lisa Horton's 'Stitched Layered Stars' die cuts.  The smaller dies were punched.  The letters were die cut with Memory box 'Alphabet Soup' dies and the sentiment was typed on the computer. 

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:

HLS October Anything Goes with Dies

I made this card for a crafty friend.

The papers are from a paper pad from The Works and I added a few pink pearls.
