Archery

Good Morning Everyone,

I only have a few more Christmas cards to share with you now so I thought I would give you a break from them today and share something different.
My brother is an archery judge so for his birthday I wanted to do something archery themed, I trawled the net and found a suitable image and this is the card I came up with

I used my circle dies to cut the target and two different Clearly Besotted sets to stamp the sentiment which I heat embossed with clear powder.

I'm pleased with how it turned out and I'm pretty sure my brother will like it, that's one of the things I love about card making...that you can personalise a card to people's hobbies etc

That's all for now

'Twas the Night Before Christmas - Challenge 90 MAWTT

Good Morning,

A new challenge starts today on the MAWTT blog and for this challenge Emma has chosen the poem 'Twas the Night before Christmas' as the theme.

I was really excited to be asked by Wendy recently to join Team A so I am here with my first DT card :)

I used the line 'The stockings were hung by the chimney with care'

I used a LOTV pre-coloured image 'All Cosy and Warm' and some lovely Jennifer Ellory papers that were a magazine freebie, a Joycraft Stocking die which I cut once in red and once in white and pieced together. Joanna Sheen Snowflake peeking out behind the sentiment which is from the very generous Annette of  Netty's Cards .

You have until 6pm on 20th December to enter the challenge so do pop over to the blog to check out my teamies gorgeous creations !

Bye for now,

Mulberry Wood

Good Morning Everyone,

I have a couple more Christmas cards to share today using some Mulberry Wood stamps that were a magazine gift.

I have coloured with Promarkers, the green paper is from The Works and the gorgeous tree paper is from a Bobunny pad that was also a magazine freebie. The sentiment is DigiStamp Boutique. Punched snowflakes and ribbon from stash.

This one used papers from the same The Works pad as above, the sentiment stamp was from the same MW stamp set.
Ribbon, pearls and button from my stash.

I'd like to enter this second card into the following challenges

My Time to Craft #360 Challenge Sketch

Hi Everyone,

This post was meant to be much earlier in the day but I have had nothing but trouble with our BT hub today, it has been close to being launched out of the window on several occasions Lol and in the end I had to walk away before I did !

Anyway today is the start of a new challenge at My Time to Craft Challenge Blog and this time we have a lovely sketch for you to use

Here is my DT card

I used one of my favourite Alf images from DigiStamp Boutique which I coloured with Promarkers, papers were from two different pads from The Works, buttons from my stash.
Sentiment was computer generated.

Look forward to seeing your lovely creations over at MTTC,

Pretty Baubles

Hi Everyone,

When I saw the challenge at Merry Monday with the colour combo I knew I wanted to make a card as Turquoise is one of my favourite colours (it is even the colour of my craft room walls)

I used some magazine freebie bauble stamps for my card

I stamped the baubles and sentiment from the same set with Versamark embossing ink and then heat embossed with Wow embossing powder in Chartreuse, Turquoise Sparkle and Metallic Silver. Matted onto my favourite silver glitter card and added a few clear gems to finish. The turquoise powder is really glittery IRL unfortunately that doesn't show up brilliantly in the pic. I took loads of photos to get this one the camera just wasn't liking the sparkle !

Be back later,
