A Card for the ArtbyMiran Facebook Challenge

Good Morning Crafters I know I dont post many posts these days I do find that I seem to have lots to do running my other blog but as I had already made this card for this months progressive Challenge over on Facebook I thought I would treat you to seeing it as well.
This image is the one they give you free if you have taken part in last months progressive Challenge and I printed her onto white card before colouring her with my copic pens. I then cut her out using the Justrite dies and used the larger one for the mount out of pink card. I always ink around the edges before removing the die to give it more body or it looks rather lost if you leave it all white. The sentiment was stamped and for this one I used for the smaller die a Sue Wilson Noble die and for the mount the circle die from Justrite.
I do love Justrite stamps and Dies also Sue Wilsons dies and stamps Im a bit of a horder of both so dont be surprised it you dont get to see me use them more.
The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first mount out of pink card the papers I used this time are also from ArtbyMiran and these are called "Happy Days" I printed three papers, the first is a pink background with hearts on, the second is a blue one and this one I have used border and corner dies from Martha stewart, the third is pink background with white spots and this was cut into a strip and mounted on a piece of pink card, then layered up as shown in the photo. I also used a heart doily which I tucked behind the mounted image.
I then placed my mounted image in the center with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner. I have a confession to make I accidently bent the side of the heart doily when I turned it over to stick to the black base card and to try and anchor it down I used a bit of glue, unfortunately it looked so dark against the white I had to cover it up and I used a pink and blue organza ribbon to create the two bows and then placed a bow around the knot with the glitter drops from Tonic, I also used them in three of the corners. At least it covered up the black gluey mark.

Another Christmas Card for Sundays with Santa Facebook Page

I know, I know Im really bad at keeping up my posts here on my No.2 Blog in fact I havent done much better on my No.1 blog especially since I have been recovering from my cataract operation and I have also been keeping a eye on one of my elderly neighbours who hasnt been at all well for over a month and it looks rather bad for the future to, anyway we wont jump the gun until its been confirmed.
Todays card is a card created with the Colour Cloud inks and Phil Martins Snowflakes stamps and also his colours Frosty Sky Blue for the embossing powder and pva glue which was used on the die cuts.
The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of blue card the white mount has been cut with the pin pricked die from Sue Wilson and then I used several snowflake stamps over the card then I cut a smaller frame that was then inked through the dies to create the frame in which I dropped the sentiment which I had cut from the middle of the frame and a sentiment is also from Phil Martin and stuck in the center.
To finish of I have used two holly diecuts cut with the Sue Wilson die and then embossed with frost sky embossing powder and when placed as you see at the bottom were then topped with the pva glue on the berries, this card is following the "Non Traditional Colours" theme.

A Card for Sundays with Santa "Tag it" theme

For this weeks theme over on Facebook its a Card with a tag on, and I have used again the Sue Wilson Dies and layered it up as shown in the photo. I must admit that I have pinched a Sue Wilson card design and adapted it for my own use.
I have used glitter for the sky and the dies used are the Noble Frame die and the Festive trees and Dear.
I also stamped the sentiment on a tag die and then cut it out placed it at the top on the border die frame.
I must admit that Sue Wilson dies are my most favourite ones to use as they are so versatile.

A Card for Sundays with Santa Facebook Challenge

Good Morning Crafters, this weeks theme over on Facebooks Sundays with Santa Challenges is "For than one Fold" and I had to give it some thought as to what I would create as there are quite a few different folded cards old there, and this is the one I came up with a double fronted folded card.
I have used Sue Wilsons strip die and cut it out twice. I then mounted it onto red card that had glitter added to on double sided sheets, and my diecut panels was then mounted on top with foam.
The base card is a 8"x 8" white card with a first mount (inside) of red card and then I printed a verse on to white card and placed it on top of the red first mount.
I then placed the two front panels on the two sides and placed two poinsetta flowers that I had left from my last card and a red pearl was popped int the centers of both.

Another Card for Sundays with Santa - Baubles

Good Morning Crafters, heres my card for this weeks theme over on Sundays with Santa, and this is one of the Sue Wilsons Stamps to Die For and I have also used her embossing folders and dies, I love them they really are gorgeous.
I stamped the bauble image onto white card then used my copic pens to colour it, I realise now I should have stamped and embossed it with embossing powder and then cut it out with one of the bauble dies and then used a overlay one out of gold card.
The white card  has been embossed with a snowflake lattice and cut out the middle with one of the Scandinavian dies and mounted it onto cold card, I then used some foam pads to higher the embossed card though its not come up as much as I expected.
I then placed my bauble in the middle and stamped and cut out the ribbon at the top.

A card for Sundays with Santa "Anything Goes"

Thank you for those lovely comments on my creations from my Craft Retreat, Im in the throws of trying the Bleeding Art Canvas but discovered I must wait for some stencils I have ordered, isnt it always the same you just get started on something only to discover you havent got all the things you need to see it through. Hopefully they will arrive sometime next week so I can carry on and finish it, I will let you see the results once its finished.
Anyway the card today was created for Facebooks Sundays with Santa weekly Challenge, and this week was all about "Anything Goes", and for this I have used a idea from Sue Wilson and adapted it to suit my Xmas theme. The red background has been embossed and then I have used a piece of gold card and one of her beautiful edge dies on each end of the card, I then cut it down to fit as you can see in the photo. I placed it on top of the embossed red card.
This was then placed on a piece of pierced white card and this on top of a black one. I then stamped the sentiment and cut it with one of my Nestabilitie label die and cut out the poinsetta several times and layered them up to create the three flowers that were placed in the top left hand corner and tucked the sentiment underneath one of the leaves which were punched out of green paper.

Another card for Sundays with Santa "Sparkles"

Good Morning Crafters, I like the end result this time its my own design, I cut three of the striplets from Sue Wilson and after cutting a mount of red card I used some large glitter and double sided sticky paper I have then placed my cut topper on top.
I then cut two larger mounts out of red and white and laid my mounted top in the center, I then used red pva pearl glue and created the red dots around the edge.
For the sentiment I cut two Peace diecuts in red and white and layered them up and placed it down the center of my card.

A Card for Sundays with Santa

Good Morning Crafters, it does seem I have been rather slow updating my blog but I have been rather busy looking after my No.1 blog, its difficult to keep both going so Im afraid this one has to take second place when Im particularly busy,
I have created this card for the Facebooks Sundays with Santa "Polka Dot" challenge this week.
I have used a small dot embossing folder for the backing card and the Snow sentiment is one of the Sue Wilson ones and I have cut it in white and blue and created a shadow effect with the blue one.

Another card for Sundays with Santa - "Santa"

Good Morning Crafters, for this weeks Challenge over on Facebooks Sundays with Santa is albout "Santa" and I have used this gorgeous Creative Expressions bauble Stamp with the sleigh theme in the background.

A Card for Sundays with Santa Facebook Challenge "Shades of White"

Im so sorry that its been so long now since I posted a card but its been rather hectic in my house over the last week and a half and tomorrow guess what we are having faster broadband installed so I do hope it doesnt mean we will be without broadband for to long.
Anyway here is a card I made just before my grandsons came to stay, its for the Facebook Sundays with Santa "Shades of White" Challenge, its created with Sue Wilsons beautiful dies and one of the Embossalicious Embossing Folders.
I have used a piece of white pearlescent card and ran it though my ebosser and a snowflake embossing folder, then on top I have wrapped a piece of white ribbon and attached it to the back of the this mount.
On top I have cut out one of the large rectangle die shapes from Sue Wilson and another smaller one on which I have stamped a sentiment from my stash. I then used yet another piece of white pearlescent card and diecut a large snowflake out and used a smaller on and embossed the center with it, and die cut a even smaller snowflake which has been mounted in the center.
