A birthday card

Good afternoon!
It's a cold, damp day here. A perfect day to craft :)
I made a birthday card using "cakeabella" Bella stamp for the Simon says stamp and CAS-ual Fridays birthday challenges. I added some glitter, a flower and a pearl for a bit of birthday sparkle!

Anything goes

Anything goes for this weeks Simon Says challenge so I made this card using one of my new CTMH travel stamps

I love getting new stamps! I have a few other new one's that I got for my birthday so I'm sure they'll be making an appearance soon :)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Simon Says...

The Simon says stamp challenge this week is "April showers bring Spring flowers". I made another ATC easel card and used some floral papermania paper along with a fairy stamp. I'm really enjoying making these little cards, if you haven't made one before you should really give them a try.

Bendy fold card

Hi everyone, we are having another wet and cold day here. I hope wherever you are the weather is better.

Over on ISC, this weeks challenge is to create a bendy fold card. Heather gave us a link to this tutorial. It looks pretty scary but it's actually really simple.

I'm submitting it to the love is in the air challenge on Simon says stamp and linking it up with the Valentine's party on Passionately artistic.

Shabby Chic

I hope you are all having a good Sunday. The challenge over on Simon says stamp is shabby chic. I haven't done much of this style before so I hope this is ok! I went for a blue theme for the challenge on ISC, which was to make a monochromatic card using your favourite colour. I also used a few of my favourite products; the Script CB embossing folder, Coredinations card, flower, bling and of course a Stamping Bella stamp!

One card for three challenges

 I just had to try out some of my new goodies that I received from my sweet friend Lisa :) The  embossing folder (Stamping Up/Sizzix, petals a plenty) that I used on this card is one of them and I love it! Thank you Lisa! The image is a digi from There's magic in the air and the pp is by Papermania. The challenges that I'm entering this card to, are:

So charming...

The challenge over on Simon Says Stamp is to create something using a charm. I have lots of charms but hardly ever use them, so hopefully from now on I will start putting them to more use! I also used this weeks sketch on Stamping 411.

Winter love

The theme over on the Simon says stamp challenge blog is "Winter Love". I made a gift tag using DCWV pp, cardstock, twine, glitter and Snowman stamp by Corolyn King. 1 gift tag down, many more to go!

Skating by....

My friend Judy is hostess for this weeks challenge on the PCMB. She asked us to make a Christmas card using a non traditional image or non traditional colours. Lucky for me there was a few days added to the challenge so I got to play along. I used a digi image from There's Magic In The Air, some pp from my friend Patti, silver card, D'vine swirls Cuttlebug folder and Papermania ribbon and snow stamp.  I'm also submitting this card for these challenges:

I used Doodlebug pp & glittery hat sticker ,  Paper Co. brad (I added glitter to it), yellow cs edged with glitter and the Spots and dots Cuttlebug EF.

Simon Says Oriental

The theme for this weeks Simon say stamp challenge is Oriental. Although I love all things Oriental I only had one stamp that fit the challenge, a cherry blossom stamp. I used the script embossing folder for the BG and dabbed a gold ink pad over it. For the fan, I used a little strip of blue embossed card, folded it into a fan shape and then threaded some gold thread through the bottom to close it.

Simon Says Stamp

I am nearly finished making my Christmas cards, thanks to all the challenges I have been doing lately! For this weeks Simon Says Stamp sketch challenge I used a Papermania embossed card, pp and stamp, Colorbok ink and an X-cut flower punch.
