Good morning. Here is the next challenge at IAAS and it is to show red, white and blue.
My Card
This is a 7"x5" red card base.I used a die set from Crafts Too Background Collection called Apollo. I used Prim Poppy from Memory Box and the sentiment dies is from Sue Wilson. Why not pop over to the blog and see what the rest of the DT have made?
Take care and have a good day.
Time for another challenge at INTAAS and this time it is to use three of something. The theme was chosen by Jane this time.
My Card
I am still on a mission to use older dies and the two I have used on this card are from Memory Box and I diecut them in white glitter card. The paper is extremely old and I came across quite a few sheets of this pack which was an 8x8" pad which may have been Papermania but the front sheet is missing. The sweet image is from an LOTV Simply Print sheet.
Why not pop across to the blog and see what the rest of the team have come up with for this challenge?
Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Good morning and it's time for a new challenge at the 12 Months of Christmas LinkUp. We are an Anything Goes challenge but it must be a card and it must Christmas or winter celebration. However, every month we add a twist to our challenge and this month the twist is "Things that fly". If you want to follow the optional twist you still have lots of choice - think Angels, Christmas Fairies, Winter Birds or Santa's Flying Reindeer. Our challenge is unique because you can win something just by entering the challenge. Pop across to the blog and check it out.
My Card
This a 6" square base card matted with navy cardstock and I added some Stickles for snow. The Santa and reindeer die is from Sue Wilson and the house and trees die is Memory Box, as are the navy blue trees. I added lots of glitter to give a snowy appearance.
I am on a mission to use some older dies. We seem to focus on all the latest ones and forget there are some fabulous ones in our stash.
Take care and enjoy your day.
Good morning. It is my turn to choose the theme for our cards this time and as you can see I decided on The True Meaning of Christmas. I think, in all the hustle and bustle of shopping, presents, decorations etc we sometimes forget what Christmas is really all about.
My Cards
I used clear embossing ink and Detail Silver embossing powder on this lovely stamp.
This card uses a die from Memory Box. The way it cuts means that you can get two cards with alternate colours with just one pass. Quite clever really. I don't know why I don't use it more often. The sentiment is from my pack of peel offs from about twenty years ago.
Last time Kate chose black and gold and I liked that so much that this time I went for black and silver. The first one is slim line one (not big enough to be DL) and the second one is A6. Very difficult to photograph because the mirror card caught the light in the first one and in the second one the camera didn't pick up the glitter behind the silver circle. They do look better in real life - but you'll have to take my word for that.
Anyway, that's it from me. Have a good day.
Good morning. Our challenge this month at the 12 Months of Christmas LinkUp is to add some metallic. If you want the chance to win this month's featured paper pack, be sure that your card features something
METALLIC. Add the shimmer of metal to your card by way of metallic
markers, gold or silver glitter, embossing powder, wire or metal
embellishments, or through the use of foil, chrome or other metallic
type textures and papers, or any other way you can think of!
Keep
in mind though, that you don't need to follow the twist to link up your
cards and earn a
free paper each month or for a chance to win a $10.00AU gift voucher from this month's sponsor, Beccy's Place. You simply need to follow the twist if you'd like a chance to win this month's featured digital paper pack, Embossed Metallic: Christmas Edition (you can see a preview for this set by clicking
HERE).
My Card
I used blue glitter paper from Decosses Dynamite Doodles for my backing. The image and sentiment are from our sponsor's "Festive Baubles". I added hanging baubles from Memory Box diecut from blue glitter card and then some metal snowflakes I found in my stash from years ago.
Why not pop across to the blog to see what the other Sleigh Belles have made for this challenge and then check back mid month to see the work of the Merry Maidens.
Have a good day.
Good morning. It seems really weird to be posting a Christmas card in this incredible heat!! I hate saying this but I really cannot cope with these temperatures. I overheat quickly and being very fair I also burn quickly. I hope those of you who like these conditions are enjoying it.
My Card
This is a silver base card. The image is really cute but I really don't know where I got it from. I suspect it was a freebie and I have had it for years. I have only used it a few times. It is mounted on silver mirror card, as is the computer generated sentiment, but it does look black in the picture. Th snowflakes are Memory Box and coated in glue and pale blue Art Glitter. A couple of blue bows and some pearl drops to mimic snow and it was done.
Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Good morning dear friends and I hope you are all well and keeping warm. It is time for another challenge at IAAS where the theme is Winter - very appropriate.
Please scroll to previous post if you are looking for my Christmas Card Club entry
My Card
This is a 7" square card and I used the backing paper from The Paper Shelter's "Snowboarder Girl".
The trees on the front are Memory Box and the sentiment stamp is from Inkylicious which I split to use over the front and inside. Both the trees and the stamp were used on my last IAAS card two weeks ago and so I made two cards at the same time. Lots of glitter finished off the front beautifully.
Please pop across to the blog and see what my teamies have made for the challenge.
Take care.
Good morning. This is the second challenge for our Christmas Card Club where we make a Christmas card every other week in order to be ahead of the game come November. Margaret has chosen the theme and she wants to see the Nativity which is , of course, the reason for the season. I am a day early with my card and the rest of the girls will be posting on Sunday.
Card 1
Good afternoon and hope you are all well and keeping warm - unless of course you are in the southern hemisphere! Our first post at IAAS this year is to show landscapes.
My Card
This is an image from my Greeting Card Factory Deluxe programme and seems to work well.
The trees are from Memory Box and the sentiment is an Inkylicious stamp. Please pop across to the blog and check out my teamies work. There are some great projects.
Take care.
Here we are for our final challenge of the year for our Christmas Card Club. As you can see the theme is to use die cuts and was chosen by Shaz.
I am posting a day early because I have a DT card to post tomorrow.
My Card
This is a 6" square white base card. The image is a really sweet stamp from LOTV, Angels With Crib, which I have had for years and not used for so long. I coloured it with Promarkers. It was then die cut it with SB Lacey Circles. I used Memory box Snowflake Corner and a Carla Craft punch for the snowflakes. The backing papers were from an extremely old C&C CD. I then just blinged it up with Papermania Shimmer Dots. If in doubt use lots of bling and glitter - you cannot go wrong with that at Christmas!! I didn't use a sentiment because of the script paper.
Good morning every body and I hope you are all doing okay. I can scarcely believe that this the penultimate challenge for our little club in 2020. Considering this has been what Her Majesty once described as an Annus Horribilis I think it has actually flown by. Gwen has chosen the theme which is deer.
My Card
This is a 6" square base card and although I really like the muted colours the photograph is not showing it at its best. The backing paper and topper are from the Paper Boutique's "Whisper of Winter" set. The pink card stock I used for the mat, the deer and the bauble is from Hobbycraft. The deer are from a John Next Door set and the bauble is Memory Box.
I am posting this a day early because I have a DT card to post tomorrow, so if you want to see the cards from the rest of the girls you will need to check on Sunday.
Well that's all from me. Take care!
