CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY

Hello and what an amazing start to the weekend where the weather is glorious and Andy Murray is in the final at Wimbledon tomorrow so fingers crossed and good luck Andy.

 

Now onto our challenge this week over at one stop craft challenge and a nice easy one as "Anything Goes". I decided for this one that I would go with a Christmas card so that I could use a new set of Spellbinder dies that are only available on Create and Craft until next week and these are 2013 Snowflake Pendant.

 

Cut the card and layers using Spellbinders Grand Squares from white cardstock and DCWV Citrus Stack. The sentiment is from Justrite Clear Stamps "Just The Right Words"and then to finish off a few red dew drops.

Would love you to join us for this week's challenge and until the next time take care.

 

 

 



BAGS AND BAGS

Have just watched Scotland's Andy Murray win another tennis match and know this is going to be his year to win Wimbledon so fingers crossed. Will be heading off for a mini break in London this weekend with my sister and would love to try and get some tickets for the tennis but our chances of that are very slim but still I can dream.

 

And so onto today's card or should I say bag and us girls do like our bags so keeping with that a cute bag with flower embellishments.

 

All the elements of this card were created using Spellbinder Dies "Labels Thirty-One", "Nested Pendants"and "Jewel Flowers and Flourishes" along with M-Bossabilities EL-004. The sentimemnt was using Memento Ink "Rich Cocoa" and Dimension Stamps.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

color throwdown

cas-ual Fridays

Take care until the next time

 

 



CELEBRATE

Good evening and a card today using a colour combo in spired by color throwdown challenge celebrating the 4th of July which just happens to be my birthday. When I was very young me and my family moved to America for a few years and always thought  that the flags put out on houses that day were to celebrate my birthday and why not.

 

So here is my card for my birthday and the 4th of July and the craft items used in this card are

Spellbinders "Grand Rectangles" and "A2 Curved Matting Basics"

Hobbycraft Ink Pads "Metallic Blue" and "Xmas Red"

Waltzingmouse Stamps "Say It Loud" and "Teeny Trees"

card stock and red glitter

That's all for now so take care.

 

 



FOR A FRIEND

We are back over at one stop craft challenge having had a few weeks off to recharge the batteries and this week's challenge is "For a Friend".

 

For my card a bit of a safari theme going on with a super digi stamp from our sponsors "patties creations" and if you pop over to her shop you will find more cute and fun images for all events.

The winner of this week's challenge will receive 3 images from her lovely store.

CONGRATULATIONS

A card today using colour inspiration from this week's challenge over at

 

After creating the floral background to this card using Recollections Clear Stamps "Freedom Flowers" then coloured in with Sakura Glaze Pens the rest of the card came together very quickly

The panels were cut out with Spellbinders "A2 Curved Matting Basics" and the sentiment is from American Crafts Stamp set "Baby".

A group of red flowers adds the finishing touch to this card giving it a clean and uncluttered look.

Back again very soon so take care in the meantime.
