Christmas Full Star Border Card

I've seen this style of card on several blogs lately, so I went in search of a tutorial.   I found this video HERE by Iced Images.  It was surprisingly easy to make.

The papers are from The Works and are stiff enough to make the star section. The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Perfect Plaid' set, stamped with Versafine 'Crimson Red'.  I used a SU punch to punch the sentiment shape and an inverted corner punch on the red mat. The card folds flat for posting.

Crafty Calendar Challenge ~ Add a Button

The November Crafty Calendar Challenge begins today and the theme this time is 'Add a Button'.

For my DT card I used an embossing folder which was a magazine cover gift many years ago.  I layered the embossed card on a green mat and used buttons for the centres of the larger flowers.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Stampin' Up 'Humming Along' set and stamped with Versafine Clair 'Rain Forest'.  The layered sentiment is raised up on foam pads.

The Crafty Calendar Challenge ends on 28th November, so plenty of time to dig out those buttons and use them on your creation.

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.
