A Card for Just Magnolia Challenge - "Anything Goes"

Before I post my card I want to bring to your attention a absolutely beautiful set of Christmas papers called Christmas Dreams that are coming on line from Donna next Friday 12th at http://bmd-creations.blogspot.com/. This is why Im so thrilled to be part of a wonderful new team, "I get to play with the papers before the rest of you" I know I shouldnt gloat but oh I carnt help it, they are stunning and heres a little preview of whats coming, and also my card today has been created from one of the new papers. I should also tell you than Donna will be having a sale from that day to celebrate her coming birthday, what better way than to celebrate someones birthday that being able to get your hands on such a beautiful set of papers.

I have created this card for this weeks Magnolia Challenge "Anything Goes", I will also be having a look around to see if there are any other ones that are suitable for it as well. Anyway Ive used this gorgeous new image of Tilda and printed her onto smooth white card then masked her to stamp the halo behind her, this is one of last years Christmas stamps and I felt it was just lovely to go with this one then I coloured it with my copic pens and used lots of glitter in lots of places. The sentiment is also one from last year to, both of these have been cut out with a circle die and mounted on blue card cut out with the new eyelet die from Nestabilities.

The base card is a 7"x 7" white card and this fabulous new paper from Donna, its so pretty that Ive only used the one paper as I didnt want to cover it up to much, as it is the flower spray is covering up the swirls that are up in the top corner, Anyway Ive used a piece of blue card to mount this paper on and wrapped a organza ribbon around the centre down the page for a change. On top of this I have positioned my mounted image and the sentiment at the bottom on the right.

To finish of I have used the gorgeous new flowers from Wild Orchids, the Hellebore which I have inked the petals with some blue ink, and used three different size roses and some punched out holly leaves and of course the pearl sprays that have then been stuck to the card with some silicone glue.

This card is to be entered in the following challenges:-

Oh What a Fun Day Ive Had

Good Evening Ladies its been a long but a very rewarding and happy day, Ive spent my hubby out and Im sure the credit card is going to moan like mad when it see's what Ive spent, anyway as you can see from the photo I really did have a fabulous time and my naughty little mitts did to.

I also got to see some of my really lovely blog friends, firstly Rozz who actually saw my name plate (which was on my jumper) and introduced herself to me, mind you I didnt recognize her as she was wearing her glasses and we had a long chat and I met her two friends she was with, thank you Rozz for introducing yourself and it was really lovely meeting you.

My second friend I met was the lovely Mandy Sparklebits, she was the naughty lady who badgered me into starting my blog and although she does have a blog she now teaches craft at her local college weekly, which does brings her better rewards. It was so lovely seeing you again Mandy and we will keep in touch by email I know and it was also lovely to meet both of your mums to.

The third friend was the lovely Jacqui of Cats Whiskers, she was extremely busy helping out at the Lili of the Valley stall so we couldnt really have a long chat but she is a such lovely person and it was so nice to put a face to a name, thank you Jacqui for taking time to have a chat and I hope you enjoy your break away from home meeting all your friends.

And my last friend was the equally lovely Brenda from Floral Fantasties, she is a wonderful person and we had a long chat and put the world to rights, Im so glad that I got to meet you Brenda and Im sure we will become even closer friends from now on, and it was such a treat to meet your hubby to, I do so hope you both got back home safely and not to tired from the long journey.

Now Id better sign of as Im of to have a bath and an early night, will be back tomorrow with some exciting news for you all.

A second Card for Today

Good Afternoon Ladies, well I know that Ive already posted a card today but that one was scheduled yesterday so really and truly this one is todays one, anyway as Im going to be away early tomorrow I wont have time to link these to the two challenges that I want to enter this for and they are Crafters Companions "One for the Girls" with a Sketch and Winter Wonderlands "Have a Mousey Christmas" and as Ive used this cute Companion Mouse image I felt I could just squeeze this in before Friday.

Anyway Ive stamped it onto white card before colouring it with my copic pens, after which Ive used the new Mega Curved Rectangle Die to cut it out, then used the die to create the mount out of blue card, the sentiment is another from the same set of stamps.

The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first layer of blue card with one of three papers from the Cute Companions Xmas Cd, the first paper is a all over night picture with moons on, then second mount is a holly patterned paper and the third a sentiment one, around the bottom I have wrapped some lace and attached it to the back.

In the centre of the card Ive positioned my mounted image and my sentiment to the bottom on the left hand side, and to finish of Ive used the a gorgeous new Hellabore flower from Wild Orchid which arrived this morning, and Ive rubbed a blue inkpad on the ends of the petals, with a couple of rose buds, cherry blossoms and asters to create a flower spray which I sprayed with the irredescent spray from Crafters Companion before sticking them to my card with silicone glue and some punched out fern leaves.

This card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

A Card for Die Cut Challenge - "No Colouring plus Heart"

Good Morning Ladies well only one more day and I will be on my way to the NEC I carnt wait to go and see what lovely goodies I can get my naughty little mitts on, will let you know how I got on, on Friday. Anyway todays card has been created for this weeks Die Cut Challenge "No Colouring plus Heart" and Ive used this lovely image from Elusive Images and this was stamped on white card and cut out by hand, the sentiment is another from the same set and this was also stamped onto white card and cut out with my rotatrim.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first layer of white pearlescent card, I then used some of the same white card to stamp hearts and leaf sprays on with versafine ink and then with some white embossing powder on top, I also used the heart punch for the corners. On top of this I have put a strip of the same white pearlescent card across the middle but I did put it through my cuttlebug with a heart embossing folder, then used the same heart punch along the two edges.

The heart die cut is a new one from Nestabilities and on top of this I have mounted my cut out stamped heart with some silicone glue to give it some shape, and my sentiment was stuck at the bottom on the right. To finish of Ive used two heart gems to cover a mishap I had with the punch.

A Card for Kennys Challenge "Anything Goes"

Good Morning Ladies well here we are at the 1st of November, dont you agree this year has flown by and having to put the clocks back really upsets everyones balance, poor hubby didnt quite know what time it was last night as he was getting tired by 9pm, oh well he slept a bit later this morning so maybe it wont belong before he gets his balance sorted.

Todays card has been created for this weeks Kenny Challenge "Anything Goes" and Ive used this stunning image of Mrs Christmas, not sure that Ive done the right sentiment for this image but at least I think you can interpret it the way you feel is right for you. Anyway Ive printed her onto white card before using my copic and promarkers to colour her, then I used the mega retangle to cut her out and the scalloped one for the mount.

The sentiment one that I generated on my computer and this was cut out and layered up in the same way.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first layer of red card and one of two of Donna's new Xmas download papers, this first one is an all over sentiment pattern, and on to of this I have stuck a square of a green one with both mr and mrs Santa on and some elves as well, this was cut into a square and punched all around with my snowflake punches from Martha Stewart.

Across the middle I have wrapped a red and gold ribbon which was attached to the first layer, and then my mounted image was stuck on top to the left and my sentiment to the bottom on the right hand side. To finish of Ive created two snowflakes with punched out snowflakes and some crushed glass glitter, then mounted at the top on the right.

Happy Halloween to you All

Happy Halloween everyone, and this is definitely my last Halloween card for this year, this one will go away for next year as Ive sent out all mine to the grandchildren, so it will mean Ive got a head start already. Anyway the reason for this card was to try and enter it in the Penny Black inc Challenge but Ive no idea how to get my uploaded card onto their site its all done with Yahoo Flicker and although Ive tagged it, it still not showing on their site so I thought Id used it for another Challenge instead, and this one is for Crafty Creations Challenge "Halloween" so Ive got a use for it after all.

This is a gorgeous PB image of a cat and his pumpkin and as usual hes been coloured with my copic pens then cut out with the Pumpkin Nestabilitie and Ive used the same die to draw around and create a mount for it out of orange pearlescent card, the sentiment is one from my stash and has had the same treatment given it, I should also say Ive used an orange inkpad to distress the edges of both.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first layer of orange card with my first paper, one of Donna's Bearlymine Halloween designs this one is a all over sentiment paper, and the second and third papers are from the same design set but these have been cut into strips then Ive punched along both edges with my pumpkin border punch from Martha Stewart, then on top of this is a strip of the same orange card but Ive run this through my cuttlebug with a spider embossing folder from Sizzex.

The mounted image was then positioned to the left and my sentiment at the bottom on the right, my final flourish is the three charms stuck down the right hand side.

A Card for Just Magnolia Challenge - "A Sketch by Dawn"

Good Afternoon everyone hope you are having a nice Saturday, here in Gloucester the sun has been out but its now gone cloudy I do hope it doesnt decide to start raining or poor hubby is going to get wet as hes volunteering today and I suspect hes probably painting posts and that wont be much fun for him.

Anyway todays card has been created for this weeks Just Magnolia Challenge "Sketch by Dawn" and Ive used this sweet image of Tilda carrying her presents and candy, Ive stamped her and coloured her with my copic pens, after which Ive used the rectangle Nestabilitie die to cut her out and a deckled edged one for the mount. The sentiment is yet again one of the LOV ones as the Magnolia ones were just to big for the sketch.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first layer of red card and one patterned paper from the Papermania Classic Christmas paper/card set, this paper is a tartan one which I felt went well with my image, on top of this I have stuck a piece of red pearlescent card that has been run through my cuttlebug with a all over holly pattern, and my stamped mounted image was stuck in the middle on top. The sentiment was laid by the side of this card, and to finish of Ive used two white poinsettas that have been stuck to the card on top of some punched out holly leaves, and the last thing are two heart gems that were stuck at the top on the right hand side.

This card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

A Card for Many Challenges

Good Afternoon ladies, hope you are all looking forward to a relaxing weekend, mine is going to be crafting all the way as its hubbys volunteering weekend when he goes to play trains, he does enjoy it so I dont mind really.

Anyway todays card has been created for several challenges, but Ive basically used the sketch from Bev from the Lili of the Valleys challenge this week to create the card and then discovered it also covers sevaral other challenges as well. Anyway this is a gorgeous little image of a young bear with his parcels from LOV and Ive coloured him with my copic pens and then covered his hats fluffy edges with glitter, then cut him out with the rectangle dies from Nestabilities and the mount is one of their deckled edged one, the sentiment is another of the LOV stamps and this has been cut out with one of the tag dies from Spellbinders.

The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first mount of red card and then on top Ive used three papers from the Papermania's Festival Frolics paper/card pack, the first paper is a all over white one with parcels on and the second and third papers are firstly a xmas tree design and the secondly another of the parcel designs, these have both been cut in strips and then both edges have been punched with the Martha Stewart Parcel Border punch, and then layered on top of one another across the middle.

I then wrapped a organza red ribbon around the middle and attached it to the back of the first mount, on top of this I have positioned my mounted image and the sentiment at the top on the right a small strip at the bottom as the sketch requires. I then popped two red heart buttons at the top on the right and three red pearls down the left hand side at the top and at the bottom on the right. I also created a bow with the same ribbon and this was stuck on top of the piece in the middle and to finish of Ive created a flower spray with some poinsetta's and some punched out fern leaves which were attached with some silicone glue on the right hand side, after which Ive popped some stickles on the petals.

One Card for Two Challenges

Good Afternoon Girls, Im so sorry for being late but Ive had one hell of a job to photo this card as the front is acetate and you know what that does it not only glares it shows all the reflections as well, then there was the problem with the weather, its extremely dull here today and its trying to rain , so if this isnt a particularly good photo please forgive me.

Todays card has been made for the following challenges Mo's "Seasons" and Cute Card Thursdays "So Transparent" and thats the one thats caused all the trouble. Anyway Ive used this cute image of Bella with her dog Bronte attempting to skate on the local pond. Ive printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens after which Ive cut her out completely ready to stick on the acetate front.

The main card is a 6"x 6" white base with a blue piece of card stuck on top, the scene in the background is of Crafters Companion Cute Companions Christmas Cd, how about all those Cs, anyway Ive cut it out and stuck it to the blue card, then folded a piece of acetate and fixed it to the back with some tape, on to this I have stuck Bella and used some stickles on the bushes in green and red for the holly. The sentiment is one of the Crafters Companion Adorables stamps that Ive stamped on the inside, Im hoping to use this card for one of my granddaughters.

This card is for the following Challenges:-

Ive printed her onto smooth white card and coloured here with my copic pens after which I used the mega retangle die to cut her out and the deckle edged one for the mount. The sentiment is a mixture of two stamps which I have used together to stamp the message, this was also mounted onto a deckle edged one.

The base card is a 7"x 7" white card and Ive used three papers from the Nitwit Downloads this one is called "Summerbreeze" collection, this first paper is a white based one with loads of patchwork flowers of blue, green and yellow on, over this I have mounted two pieces of blue card with a denim coloured plain paper, and for the last paper Ive used a yellow based paper with flowers all over it, and cut this into a 5" square and then used the all around arched border and corner punches on it, this was then stuck on top of the other layers and my lace was then attached to the back of the first mount.

I then positioned my mounted image towards the left and my sentiment at the bottom on the right, to finish of I have used a prima lace flower and some punched out fern leaves to create a flower in the top right hand corner.

A Card for Kennys Challenge "2 x 2" Receipe

Good Morning Ladies well the sun is out and its quite lovely outside though how long it will last we shall have to wait and see, hubby has gone of to London to visit his daughter and granddaughters and he did it in good time he left here at 8am and arrived at Clacketts Lane at 12 noon, so I think he did well, mind you he did stop at Purley for a cup of tea.

Anyway todays card (which will be put away for hubby) has been created for Kennys Challenge "2 x 2" Receipe challenge which means you have to use two papers, two ribbons and two flowers. I printed this image onto smooth white card and coloured it with my copic pens and then used large glitter for the fluffy bits on her custume, hat and boots I cut it out with my new Nestabilitie die 17, and then draw around the edge to create the mount out of red card.

The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first layer of red card and two fabulous Xmas papers from Donna of Bearly Mine designs, she has a sale on her website tomorrow and a brand new set of papers, I do so hope you will pop across and visit her. Ive used an all over sentiment one for my first paper in red and white and this has been mounted on some red card, for my second paper Ive used a white base card with two snowmen on and another sentiment, this was also punched with my snowflake in each of the corners before sticking it to another piece of red card and placed on top of the first mount.

I then wrapped two ribbons around the edge on the left which look a bit crooked but I assure you it isnt in real life must be my photo, and mounted my image in the centre, to finish of Ive used two poinsetta's at the top on the right and laid them on top of some punched out holly leaves and these were attached to the card with some silicone glue, I then used some stickles to glitter up the petals.

A Card for Just Magnolia Challenge - "Think Pink"

Well I hope your enjoying your start to the weekend, if the weather stays dry I think we might be going out for dinner today to the local garden centre in Raglan but we shall see have to wait for the Postman first then we can decide afterwards. Hubby has plans to go and visit his daughters and granddaughters tomorrow so hes looking forward to that as hes not seen them since August and time goes so quickly you forget how quickly 2 years olds and 18 month olds grow.

Anyway todays card has been created for Just Magnolia's "Think Pink" which is to celebrate the Breast Cancer Awareness month and although I dont actually mention it on my card its done to show love. This is an old Tilda image but Ive coloured it with my copic pens then cut her out with my oval nestabilitie die, Ive also used a scalloped one for the mount and this has been cut from pink pearlescent card. The sentiment is another of the Magnolia stamps and I felt this was appropriate in this instance.

Ive created a 6"x 6" easel card and used two of the beautiful papers from the Kay Miller "Follow your Heart" download set, a very pretty pink paper with hearts on has been used for the base layers, and the second paper is a pretty heart and leaf spray pattern and Ive cut them into 5 inch squares and then used the double Heart corner and border punches on them from Martha Stewart. These were placed on top of the base layer and for the front Ive used two strips of lace and a heart ribbon across the middle and attached it to the back.

For the inside Ive stuck the same square on the base layer then popped my sentiment which had been cut out in a heart shape and this was positioned in the middle at the bottom to allow you to stand the card up. I then stuck my mounted image in the centre of the top layer and created a flower spray with several sizes of roses in pink and stuck them to my card with some punched out fern leaves in the top left hand corner.

Good Afternoon Ladies, well its gone extremely cloudy here this afternoon and its been raining and my dear hubby says we are actually in for some over the weekend I do hope hes wrong about that, but we shall just have to wait and see. We did walk into town this morning when the sun was out to have our flu jabs done so thank goodness for that I would have hated getting wet. Anyway todays card has been created for two Challenges Lili of the Valleys "Winter Fun" and Winter Wonderlands "A Receipe, two papers, 1 ribbon and 1snowflake and charm" and Ive used this sweet bear image from LOV and coloured it with my copic pens after which Ive cut it out with my circle nestabilitie die and used the new Lacey circle die for the mount, the sentiment is another of the LOV stamps and this was cut out with the label die and mounted on a piece of red card.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first layer of red card and one of two papers from the New Papermania Paper pack "Peppers Christmas Party", the first paper is a white base with present pattern all over it, the second paper is mounted on a aqua blue card with a paper with a white base and acqu coloured snowflakes all over it. I then wrapped a ribbon around the middle with a lace strip, this I have discovered I have put on upside down, but it is a red ribbon I assure you thats been attached to the lace, daft arnt I?

Anyway I then positioned my mounted image in the centre with the sentiment at the bottom on the right. To finish of Ive punched out two snowflakes with my Martha Stewart punches, then dipped them into glue and crushed glass glitter, they were then mounted up with a snowflake charm hung from the second lower one.

A Card for two Challenges

Good Afternoon Ladies, well we had one heavy frost this morning and hubby says its still quite cold outside, and Im in a rush because we are of swimming in 35 mins so Id better pull my finger out and get a move on. This card is for two challenges Mos "Colours of Fall" and Cute Card Thursdays "Sketch by Lynn" and Ive used this cute image by Mo of Kia playing with the leaves, and coloured her with my copic pens, after which Ive cut her out with my square nestabilitie die and used the Lacey Square one for the mount.

The base card is a 7"x  7" white card with a first layer of brown card and three papers from the Nitwit Downloads this set are called "Autumn Enchantment" and the first paper is an all over leaf and nut pattern, the two papers Ive used for the squares under my mount are of a brown and beige check and Ive used them alternatively, and on top positioned my mounted image in the centre. The sentiment is one that I found in my stash and this has been mounted on one of the double ended tags from Spellbinders.

To finish of I have punched some corners with my Martha Stewart Leaf punch and cut them out to create the corner pieces and then I was given these gorgeous metal leaf brads from someone in the US and Ive scattered them all over my card to give the impression of falling leaves.

A Card for Totally Tilda Challenge Blog - "Red and Green"

Good Afternoon Ladies well the sun is out and its looking fabulous mind you the leaves are falling very quickly now so I suspect we are in for an early winter, not a happy thought dont you agree? Todays card has been created for the Totally Tilda Challenge "Red and Green" and Ive used this image from last year and coloured her with my copic pens, then cut her out with my circle Nestabilitie Die, the outer ring is the Double Circle from Marianne and its just the right size for this large die, the only thing is you have to wiggly it a bit to hide behind the image as the actual circle cut out is almost the same size as the Nestabilitie one. The sentiment is another of the Tilda ones and thats been mounted on some red card with some red pearls placed on the berries.

The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first layer of green card and three of the papers from the Papermania "Classic Christmas" paper/card pack, which I felt was ideal for this card, the first paper is a green base pattern with red and white reindeer on, the second is a stripe pattern and the third one is a diamond pattern both of these are on red card. Across the middle Ive wrapped a red and green tartan ribbon and fixed to the back of the first layer.

I then positioned my mounted image slightly to the right and the sentiment at the top on the left, I then created a flower spray from some punched out holly leaves, berries and one Poinsetta flower and attached them to my card with some silicone glue at the top on the right hand side. I did pop some stickles on the petals and also some glitter on my image.

A Card for two Challenges

Good Afternoon Ladies, well heres a colour combo to knock your eyes out Hot Pink and Orange which is the challenge from Die Cut Dreams Challenge this week and Im also going to enter it into the Sparkle Dreams Sketch Challenge. Before I go any further I want to say that I was a bit surprised to find that Id been given a top 4 four award for Die cut Dreams last week, and Im absolutely thrilled thank you so much ladies its an honour for sure.

Anyway Ive used this little Hanglar and Stranglar image isnt she a cutie, its one that was passed onto me by one of my fabulous friends, I want to thank the person who sent it and Im sorry to say Ive forgotten who it was but they will know Im sure, so bless you again and a big thank you from me. Anyway Ive coloured her with my copic pens then cut her own with my square nestabilitie and used the new eyelet one for her mount. The sentiment is one of the Hobby Art ones and Ive given it the same treatment but with a circle die instead.

The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first layer of bright pink card and one of three papers from the Kay Miller Downloads this one is called "Happy Hearts", I love using her papers as they are really beautiful and some are quite funky to. This first paper is a pretty all over flower pattern on white, the second mount is another pink paper on a piece of pink card, the third is a orange plain pattern on a piece of orange card.

On top of this I have mounted my image and my sentiment to the top on the right as the sketch shows, Ive also punched out two label tags and popped some bright pink pearls on them. To finish of Ive created a flower spray in shades of hot pink and orange at the top on the right with some punched leaves mounted on some silicone glue.
