A Card for Mo's Challenge "Any Holiday or Celebrations"

Good Morning Everyone, hope you enjoy Trick or Treating today its amazing how quickly these months are flying by and tomorrow starts November I just can't get my head around it, anyway have a wonderful day. I am going to hospital later on today to have a varicose vein injected, not really looking forward to that just hope its not as painful as the stripping but we shall see, keep your fingers crossed for me as I have plans to go to the NEC on Thursday and I don't want them scuppered.
Well today's card has been created for Mo's Challenge "Any Holiday or Celebrations" and Ive used this sweet candy cane fairy as a Xmas card and I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Die Labels No.1 to cut her out, I then used the same die on some pink pearlescent card for the mount, the sentiment is one of the Pink Gem ones that's been treated in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card and one of two papers from the First Editions two new Christmas Packs "Christmas Treat and "Festive Joy",  the first paper is a white background with hearts and the second paper is a pink background with candy canes on, and this one has been cut into a strip and Ive used the Martha Stewart Cherish Border Punch along both of the edges then positioned it down the middle of my card. I then wrapped a wide pink satin ribbon around the middle of the card and stuck it to the back of the first mount.
I then used some more of the same pink card and one of the Cherry Lynn Doily dies to cut out a circle and this was then stuck to the left and the mounted image was positioned in the centre of the card, and the sentiment at the bottom on the right hand side. To finish of Ive used a white and pink edged Hellebore with two lilies either side in a spray stuck on some silicone glue and punched out leaves in the bottom left hand corner.
This card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

Sample Six for Sarah "Howling Wolves"

Good Morning Everyone, Im so glad that you liked my penquin card yesterday that I thought I would post my last sample on here again today. Sarah when she sends the Cuddle Upz Cd asks me to take the images and create something other than a Cuddle Upz one, if you know the princible of the Cd its to show two animals cuddling each other, and Sarah likes to make those herself and as there is more than these on the Cd it would be to easy just to sell it under the title of Cuddly Upz but she adds beautiful images, toppers, instant cards, inserts, envelopes and design sets, this cd has 10 all of the Artic Animals, and if you would like to see the rest of my samples you will find them on my No.2 blog, but this is my final one that Im blogging.
I have taken the topper and printed it onto semi-gloss photo paper and then mounted it onto silver mirri board. The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first mount of silver mirri board, and on top of this is one of co-ordinating papers that come in the design sets, they all have landscape and as well as portrait ones in several patterns that match the topper. For this one I have used a dark blue multi patterned one and then wrapped a black lace strip around with a black satin ribbon down the edge of it and stuck it to the back of the first mount. I did make up a insert and put it inside though you carnt see it. Some of the images make smashing Christmas Cards so I do hope youve enjoyed this peek into whats on it.
I do hope that you will be watching her preview program on the 7th November at 10am on Create and Craft to see what really beautiful images are on this Cd.

5th Sample for Sarah of Peerless Designs "Penquins"

Good Evening Everyone, hope youve had a good day, Ive been busy creating some Xmas cards and I got into such a mess everywhere with the bits and bobs, but at least I did manage to make eight decoupaged ones and even popped some inserts in them to.
Ive been posting my samples for Sarah of Peerless Designs on my No.2 blog and I thought it was time I brought them across to my No.1 blog as well, this is my 5th sample and its of the baby penquins, the papers are all from the same design set and have been layered up on some silver mirri card. I also used some lace and ribbon around the centre of my card and positioned my mounted image in the centre, and finish it of with two snowflakes in the top two corners.
Sarah will be previewing her new CD "Artic Adventure" on Create and Craft on Monday November 7th at 10am I do hope you will be watching her and enjoying seeing the gorgeous images she has on this particular "Cuddle Upz" CD.

A Card for the LOV Challenge "A Sketch by Bev"

Good Afternoon All, sorry Ive not been around much this week but have been rather busy making samples for Sarah Hallams new Cuddle Upz Cd thats due to be previewed on Create and Craft on Monday 7th November at 10am, you will see some of those samples on my No.2 blog if your interested, anyway I hope you will watching and supporting her on the day. Anyway I decided to try and make a card to post and made this card for this weeks Lili of the Valley's Sketch by Bev, and Ive used this sweet image for my card and coloured it with my copic and tria pens then used a circle Nestabilitie Die to cut it out, I then used a butterfly circle for the mount out of blue pearlescent card.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card and one of three papers from "Nitwits Cooking Goodies" digi paper set, a plain white paper with lots of spots and bubbles on it, the second is a pink background with lots of sentiments on it, and the third paper is a blue background with hearts on it in several coloures.
I then mounted the card as the sketch shows, and then around the middle I have wrapped a white ribbon with cookies and teacups and teapots on in several colours. Then positioned my mounted image in the centre, with the sentiment at the bottom on the right. To finish of Ive used some of the left over paper to create some paper flowers that have been arranged in the top right hand corner and stuck to the card with silicone glue and punched out rose leaves.
This card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

Bearlymine Designs Challenge Twentytwo - "Anything but a Card"

Good Morning Everyone, well weve now reached our Twentysecond Challenge at Bearlymine Designs Blogspot and for this one we want you create "Anything but a Card" so it means you will have to start planning something different for it, and this time we are being sponsered by the following companies :-

Crafty Emma - £10. Gift Voucher

Bearly Mine Designs - 2 Digi Sets of Winner's Choice

Delicious Doodles - $10 Gift Certificate

Stamp Fairy - 2 Digi Stamps of Winner's Choice

Wow some really awesome prizes on offer and Im sure you will want to try to win one of them, and heres my choice of something other than a Card.

I deceided to create this tissue box cover as the boxes these days arnt anywhere near as pretty as they used to be. I used a template I found on "Sarah Hallam, Peerless Designs" website and adapted it to fit my own tissue box size by printing the base sheet onto white card using Donna's Bearlymine Designs "Summer Roses" digi paper set and then cutting it out to the template I had printed onto a sheet of white paper.
I then folded it into a square and around the bottom I created a border with one of my larger Martha Stewart border punch and some yellow pearlescent card and wrapped it around the bottom of the box cover. The lid was also cut from a template and this was also covered with a piece of the same "Summer Roses" paper and then around the cut out on top I have used a yellow oval which was cut with two Nestabilities and stuck around the tissue box opening. And around the lid edge I have stuck a trimming of lace and ribbon and tied a bow in the centre of one side.
To finish of I have created a flower spray with several different sized coloured roses and pearl sprays stuck to the corner with some punched out leaves and silicone glue.
Now that youve seen my box do please go and visit the Bearlymine Designs Challenge Blogspot to see what the rest of the very talented team have created for you and perhaps it will inspire you to take part in this "Anything but a Card" Challenge.

A Card for the Sugar Bowl Challenges - "A Sketch"

Good Afternoon Everyone, sorry Ive not been posting for a few days but weve had quite a stressful week and I really didnt feel upto rushing around trying to get a card done to post. This card I had intended putting some stitching on for the Saturated Canary Challenge as well but I spent 4 hours yesterday taking up trousers and skirts that I really couldnt be bothered to get the sewing machine out again today. Anyway I stamped one of the gorgeous Sassy Stamps onto white card then used my copics to colour her, afterwards I used my rotatrim to cut her out and create and mount for her. The sentiment is one from my stash and I have treated it in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of green pearlescent card then I have used two papers that I have manipulated into a green colour from one of my craft Cds in my stash, the first one is a pale green background with hearts on, and the second for the sketch is a check pattern with a difference I though it would be a change from the gingham that most of the girls have used.
I then wrapped some lace and ribbon around the middle of the card and attached it to the back of the first mount and then positioned my mounted image in the centre, with the sentiment at the bottom on the right. To finish of I have used one of the rolled rose dies on some left over paper to create the flowers that were then stuck in the top left hand corner on some punched out rose leaves.
If youd like to know what all the stress was about you can find out all about it on my No.2 Blog, link on the sidebar.

Cuddly Buddly's Challenge 15 - "Check it Out"

Good Morning Everyone, yes I know I have been rather lapse with posting these last few days but its been a busy week and other things have come first Im afraid, I have tried to do some blog hopping to make up for it. Anyway today we have reached our Fifteenth Challenge over at the Cuddly Buddly's Challenge Blogspot and this week we want to see "Checks"of all sorts on your cards and this time I am using the gorgeous "Pamela Studios" digi Images and Papers, and I do hope that you will visit Kim's Shop "Cuddly Buddley's" as she has lots of freebies for you to use and play with, Im sure once youve seen them you will want to purchase some of the others because they are stunning. Anyway heres my card for this weeks Challenge.

The image I decided to use is from the Toby Tumble range and called "New Home" and you will find it "here" and Ive printed him onto white card before colouring the image with my copic and tria pens, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Die Labels No.1 to cut it out and then used the die again to draw around to create the mount for it out of blue card. The sentiment is one from my stash and I have used the Double Ended Tag Die for this, and fixed it to the card with blue brads.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card I then used two papers from Pamela's "Soft Spring Papers" (Spring Bouquet) digi set and you will find them "here", the first paper is a very pretty patchwork of flowers and sentiments, one top of this is a strip of blue check paper that I have used a fence border punch from Martha Stewart on each of the sides, then on top is my second paper from Pamela, it has lines of flowers in pots in several different colours. I then wrapped a check ribbon around the middle twice and attached them to the back of the first mount and created a blue check knot which I have placed between the two. And the final flourish is the little check button in the top left hand corner I have threaded bakers twine through the holes and tied it in a knot.
I do hope that now youve seen my card you will go and visit the Cuddly Buddly Blogspot and see what the rest of the "Cuddly" team have created for you and hopefully it will inspire you to take part in this weeks "Check it Out" Challenge.
