ABC Challenges - "M is for Magnolia"

Good Morning Crafters we have reached the letter "M is for Magnolia" over at ABC Challenge Blogspot and this time we are being sponsored by Magnolicious

And I used one of my Magnolia Stamps for my card

And I stamped her onto white card then coloured it with my copic pens, afterwards I cut out using one of my Nestabilitie Dies and a fancy one for the mount out of blue card. The sentiment was done in the same way as the Image.
The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount of blue card, and the papers are from Maja "Coffee in the Arbour" paper pad and I have used three papers, the first a rose pattern and the second a blue spotty one and the third is a flowery pattern.
I then laid my mounted image towards the right of my card and created a flower spray with several sized roses in the top left hand corner and laid on top of some punched out rose leaves. And the final flourish are the 4 red flatbacked pearls in the top right and bottom left hand corners.
Now that you have seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the ABC Challenge Blogspot to see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration so hopefully you to will want to take part in this "M is for Magnolia" Challenge.

ABC Challenges - "E is for Exceptionally Cute"

Good Morning Crafters, well hopefully Spring is nearly here, I have some daffodils trying to come out and Tulips I love this time of year when everything is beginning to grow all that new growth makes you feel alive again.
Anyway over on ABC Challenges this 5th Challenge is "E is for Exceptionally Cute" and we are being sponsored by Sherri Baldy

and I chose to use one of my own images for the Challenge

unfortunately she doesnt appear to have a name other than Image #175 and you will find her Im sure on Sherri Baldy website here. I have printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I used a rectangle Nestabilitie die to cut her own and stamped a sentiment and used the same die set for the mount for this also.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount of blue card I then used Maya's three "Sofiere" papers for my layers and and along the edges of each I have used a similar hole design border punch from Martha Stewart as the one for the mount under the image.
I wrapped a piece of white wrinkle organza ribbon with a blue silk one on top around the left hand side and placed my mounted image in the middle, and created a bow from the whit ribbon and placed it on top of the blue silk in the center.
To finish of I used three white pearls in the top right hand corner and placed my sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the ABC Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration in this "E is for Exceptionally Cute" Challenge.

A Card for several Challenges

Good Afternoon All, I do apologise for my lack of posts, I dont seem to have the urgency to create cards just for fun at the moment most of my efforts seem to be just my DT cards, anyway I thought I would show you this card I created for this weeks Sundays with Santa Challenge over on Facebook, this weeks challenge is "Vintage" and I felt you might like to see the results. Ive used one of the Don and Daisy images from Marianne and coloured it with my copic pens, I then cut it out with Nestabilitie Label Die No.8 then drew around the die to create the mount.
The base mount is a 6"x 6" piece of red card with three papers from Maji's "Its Christmas Time" and the first one is a all over paisley pattern in shades of brown, beige and red, the second is a snowflake paper and Ive used my Martha Steward border and corner snowflake punches to create a square doily, on top is another of the same paper set but this one is a piece of newspaper type design and has been laid down the card.
I then positioned my mounted image in the center and the sentiment below on the right hand side, to finish of I have used a large Snowflake punch from Martha Stewart and punched out several sizes and dipped them into glass glitter, this was layered up and positioned it in the top right hand corner.
If you havent put your name to the blog candy above please do if your a regularly visit my blog.

A Card for the Sugar Bowl Challenge

Good Afternoon Everyone, again I have been very slow posting a card, Ive sort of lost my mojo I find I really not in the mood for card making, last week I was asked to make samples and that motivated me to work but this week I really not in the least finding the urge to get myself into gear. Maybe it was because so much went wrong last week that I was so wrapped up with the stress of that, that my mojo went of for a holiday. Anyway I did get around to creating this card today its for the Sugar Bowl Sketch Challenge and for the Sugary Sunday one on Facebook. Its one of Funky Kits gorgeous mermaids and I stamped her onto white card before using my copic pens to colour her. I also put some glitter on the tails of both the mermaid and the seahorse.
I then cut her out with a large rectangle die from Spellbinders and the two papers are from one of the Maya paper packs, I used the darker blue paper for my first mount and distressed the edge of it, I then used a lighter on on the other mount and distressed the edge for that one to.
Ive created the card as the sketch required and then used three buttons with bakers twine tied in knots in the holes and a seahorse charm on the side.

Sunday's with Santa "Anything Goes"

Good Morning Everyone, are you ready for a new week? well as always I seem to be getting behind with everything and that is why Ive not posted anything since last Wednesday, Ive been trying to get ahead with my DT work and so although youve not seen what Ive been making I have been a busy girl. Today I thought that it was time to post a card and this was one I created for last weeks "Sundays with Santa" its a facebook challenge started up by Pops and its to try and get together a good stock of Christmas cards for this December, and as last years lot of all gone I thought well why not so here we are.
This image is one of the LOV stamps and Ive coloured him with my copics then used Nestabilitie Die No.1 to cut him out, and then used the same die to create the mount, the sentiment is one that I got free in one of my craft magazines and have mounted it in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a mount of blue pearlescent card, and for my two papers I have used the Maja "Vintage Winter" designs, this was a present from a very special friend of mine, and they are gorgeous and lovely for a card for a male. I then wrapped a sentiment ribbon around the card and attached it to the back.
Then I positioned my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom on the right. Ive not added anything else as I dont think men particulary like to many embellishments on their cards and I wanted to leave it simple.
