LET'S CRAFT & CREATE CHALLENGE #119 - WINTER

Hello lovely people!
We have a new challenge starting today over at

LET'S CRAFT & CREATE

The theme for this challenge is....
WINTER
Remember to visit us again for our half-way post from Team 2 on 19th of the month. 
There is this lovely prize up for grabs too so come along and join in!

This is my inspiration card for this challenge...

For this card I made a 6x6 white base card, layered the front with silver glitter card and embossed three quarters of the top layer with a snowflake design embossing folder. I die snowflakes from some of the glitter card and placed three on the front of the card. I cut a piece of the glitter card to fit across the part that wasnt embossed on the front and layered it with white card cut slightly smaller. I stamped a sentiment onto the front of it.
(When matting and layering I usually cut my mats one-eighth of an inch smaller each time.)
And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

Please do visit our other DT members to see their fabulous creations too.

Thank you for stopping by today and we look forward to seeing your creations in the challenge.

 To make this card I started with a 6x6 base card.

I used a die cut layer in a pretty vintage style paper and added die cut elements from the same page to form a 3D effect picture.

SUNNY DAY CRAFTING CHALLENGE - #20 ANYTHING GOES

Hello!!

Another week, another challenge at

SUNNY DAY CRAFTING CHALLENGES

The theme as always is

ANYTHING GOES

This my DT project this time around...

I created a 6x6 base card using kraft card
I cut 2 mats for the front of the base card, each one slightly smaller than the card front.
The second mat I embossed with a 'In the Forest' embossing folder from the AUTUMN MORNING COLLECTION from CRAFTERS COMPANION.
I adhered the mats to the card front then adhered a piece of Burlap from the same collectionacross the front of the mats.
I used the image AUTUMN DELIGHT from MISS DAISY STAMPS,
I printed the image onto white stamping card and I coloured it using Copic markers.
I used a die from FIRST EDITION to cut around the image giving it a 'torn' effect.
I adhered this to a piece of patterned paper slightly bigger than the die cit image using 3D glue gel to give some depth. I adhered this to the card front on top of the burlap.
There was a sentiment as part of the image download which I made into a banner. I shaped this to give a wavy effect and adhered it to the card front under the image.

Hope you like my card and it inspires you to join our challenge.

CHRISTMAS CARDS ALL YEAR ROUND - OCTOBER CHALLENGE REMINDER

Hello again!

I just love creating Christmas cards.
Today I am here with my halfway post for OCTOBER challenge at
CHRISTMAS CARDS ALL YEAR ROUND

This challenge started on 01 OCTOBER with the theme
USE A LOT OR A LITTLE ORANGE
And this is my inspiration post as part of the
Christmas Belles DT

The sponsor for this challenge is...

FRESH BREWED DESIGNS

Here is my inspiration card

I used lots of different 'orange' papers for this, some patterned, some plain.
I started with a 6x6 base card using kraft card.
I layered the front with gold mirri card cutting it slightly smaller than the front, then orange plain card cut slightly smaller again. I cut two pieces 4x4, one patterned, one plain and placed them on the front of the card at opposite angles, the plain piece on the top.
I coloured the image in orange too and around the edge and placed on top of the angled mats using 3D glue gel. I made a gold double bow in satin ribbon and put in the top right corner. I cut a poinsettia and leaves in gold mirri card, put it together using 3D glue gel then put some seed beads in the centre using 3D glue gel again. I stamped a sentiment onto a cream banner using gold ink and then shaped the the banner to give more depth.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

The image for this card was part of a paper collection I had in my stash

Cut 2 pieces of card measuring 6x6ins,
Score across one piece an inch down from the top,

Then cut a strip 6ins wide x 3ins deep and a smaller piece in blue card to fit on top.
I adhered these to the front of the card with 3D glue gel, placed a paper flower and leaves in the top right corner and an image of a vintage lady to the left side at an angle.
Glued a bow to the bottom right and placed a sentiment on the middle strip.
