So easy

This card came together so quickly. I can sometimes spend hours on a card and still not be happy with it but I am quite happy with how this one turned out. You can't really see from the photo but there is bling on the tree.

Lots of texture

Hello. It has been quite hot here in Brisbane the last couple of days but fortunately we have air-con so we don't suffer too much, try to stay indoors as much as possible. I must admit I prefer the hot weather to the cold.

 

Anyhow, today's card is another Christmas one with lots of texture.

Colour Challenge

On one of the groups I belong to we had a colour challenge of Yellow, Blue and Green. I wanted to do something a little different and this is what I came up with. I am quite please with the end result.

White on White

Another white on white card today. This one uses the Anja's Corner die from Marianne Creatables to create the square background. The poinsettia from Heartfelt Creations was stamped on vellum and embossed with white embossing powder and die cut using the matching dies. The flourish is a die from Die-namics.

I am entering this card in the following  challenges,

Scrapbook Boutique November challenge
CSAYL #37 to die 4 (Christmas Stamping All Year Long)
Polkadoodles Week 47-Any die will do

A New Challenge

My card for this months challenge at Scrapbook Boutique features the Lace Tree embossing folder from Cuttlebug. A die cut ornament from Memory Box tied with a bow and some die cut letters. Looked a bit plain so I added the little white pearls and the die cut corners.I love the elegance of white on white.

This was our inspiration

Zoe over at Zoe's Craft Blog is having a giveaway. So pop on over and have a look, sign up for the newsletter and leave a comment on her blog.

Here is a sample of the goodies on offer.


Christmas Tree

Have been too busy this past week to post anything so will try to get back into the groove.
Today's card uses the same Hero Arts Christmas Tree stamp as was used here , except this time it was stamped with Vesamark and gold embossed. A completely different look using the same stamp.

CONGRATULATIONS ALEX

Today my Grandson graduated from Year 12. We all attended the ceremony held at the school and it was quite an emotional ride as they showed the progression of the students through their 5 years of High School. I am so proud of him for all he has achieved.
Now he moves on to the next stage of his life starting his apprenticeship with the Brisbane City Council as a Heavy Vehicle Mechanic.The qualifications he gains from this could set him up for life. Congratulations Alex.

Happy Birthday Kevin

I find it so hard to make cards for men. This year for my son's birthday I thought  I would go with a bit of a fun card. The letters were cut with a Silhouette digital cutter and embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. Inside the balloons were die cuts and the cake was stamped, coloured and cut by hand. The balloons and cake pop-up when card is opened.

INSPIRED

This card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest and I loved it so much I had to case it. Stamp from Hero Arts, heat embossed in white and coloured with Distress Inks. There is a stamping flaw on the sentiment but I am trying to live with it as I don't know of anything I can do to correct it and I really don't want to scrap the whole card.

First Christmas Cards

I have finally started to get going on my Christmas Cards. My aim is to post a card daily up until Christmas. Not all will be Christmas cards but most will be. This first post  is actually 2 cards but as they were so similar I dedided to post as one.

Pointsettia stamps from Heartfelt Creations stamped on vellum, heat embossed and cut out.

SCRAPBOOK BOUTIQUE SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE

My card for Scrapbook Boutique's September Challenge.  We had to use  "Buttons, buttons & more buttons".

Stamp is from Kaisercraft "Madame Boutique". In keeping with the sewing theme I also did some faux stitching around the panels and of course added the buttons.

I'm a Star

I am quite chuffed as my card was picked as one of the STARS on the CDAC Progressive Freebie Challenge.
The image was kindly supplied by Priscilla Styles and we had a choice of a Halloween cat, Xmas cat or a Lazy cat, and naturally I chose the Xmas cat.

CDAC Progressive Challenge 19

This is the card I made for the Crafters Digital Art Centre CDAC Freebie Challenge.The image was generously supplied by Tiffany Doodles.

Pinks and Mauves

This is for a swap I am in and the theme was Pinks and Mauves. I think I kept to the guidelines fairly well.
The image is a Sarah Kay from Stampavie. The background is an embossing folder from Sizzix coloured with Distress Inks. Spellbinders dies were used to make the flowers.  I really like the way it turned out.

A Birthday Card

Another Birthday Card I made. Not too sure if I like it or not.

A Birthday Card
