St. Luke's February Challenge & Guest Designer

Hi everyone, today I am thrilled to share with you my card as a Guest Designer for the February challenge at St.  Luke's Charity Card Challenge.  I felt honoured when Tara asked me, and of course I said that I would love to join in the fun and design a card.   

The theme this month is Love and Lace.  Amour is the word this month...make a romantic card for a wedding, anniversary or a birthday to the one you love.  Add some lace or  lacy embellishments for a romantic finish.

Here is my card...

  I decided to make a one step card, to which I added some brocade vellum, white cotton crochet lace, a heart cut on Cameo, (embossed and glittered), some clear gems and finally a computer generated sentiment.

Why not pop over to the  St. Luke's Challenge Blog join in with the fun, and see the DT's gorgeous creations?  The prize this month is three lovely La Blanche stamps.

I'm entering my card into the following challenges...

LIM Week 51 - Cut It Out

Hi bloggers!
At Less Is More this week Chrissie and Mandi have set the challenge for us to make a card with an aperture. I'm late entering mine, because I got aperture brain blockage, and lost my mojo.  Then, last night all the fuzziness in my head left, and I made TWO cards for the challenge!!

For my first card I cut an aperture with Spellbinders labels twenty.  On the piece I cut out, I stamped with JustRite Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty using ruby satin Colorbox pigment ink and clear embosiing powder, then inserted the label inside my card.  I cut a butterfly and leaves for the edge of the aperture.

For my second card, I dry embossed the front, then cut out my heart shape.  Once again I used the cut shape inside my card. I inked the edge of the heart with red chalk ink, coloured the bluebirds and heart with PM's and used a little glossy accents on the heart. I computer generated my own words.

Birthday Wishes

Hi lovely blogging friends. Hope you're all well.

Today my card is a mixture of stamping, embossing and die cuts...

I completely embossed the front of my card base.  Then added the seam binding wrap, bow and flower.  My flower was designed by the lovely Bird, who so generously gives away her fabulous cut files and digi designs here. I cut the flower and leaves on Cameo, then stamped a leaf print onto the leaves with Shabby Shutters DI. My stamp is Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty by JustRite stamps, stamped with sapphire blue colorbox ink, then cut out with labels twenty Spellbinder Die. I then added the sentiment, which is a digi by Bird.

For My Valentine

Hi everyone.  Hope you've all enjoyed a lovely weekend. We've had very strong winds again, and they always seem to get worse during the night.

I recently bought the 6"x6" Romantique paper stack by Prima.  So, today I had a play with one of the lovely design sheets.

My base card is cream. I used one of the new Spellbinder edgeabilities on the bottom. I cut the top off the sheet and fussy cut around it before placing it back onto the card. My heart stamp is by Prima.  I stamped with cholcolate ink, then coloured with distress inks, (barn door, fired brick and shabby shutters), then used PM's to highlight and shade. Sentiment strip is by Pink Petticoat and I added some tiny hearts from Smitten by K&Co.

A Little Bit Vintage

Hi everyone. It's been a few days since I last posted. I've been sorting out computer problems, and we've been looking around for a new bed.....which is a complete nightmare!! And you don't really know until you've actually spent a night on one, what the after effects are going to be - LOL!

Today my card isn't for any specific occasion, but it will come in handy for someone, eventually.  I'm entering this into the DYSU  challenge #55 - Use patterned paper...
My base card is Kraft. I then added a piece of patterned paper printed from the Crafty Secrets CD, and some ribbon lace from my stash.  The roses and leaves were cut on Cameo, and I added some gold stamen to the largest rose.  I used Gold Leaf - Rub 'n Buff over the Spellbinder label, then cut some cream card and matted that on top.  The sentiment is by Anna Griffin, stamped with chocolate Impress ink.

Purple Peony

Hello lovely bloggers!  Hope you're all well.
Today I have a card for the challenge over at Less Is More.  Chrissie and Mandi have challenged us to make a card using the colour 'Purple'.  For my card I chose a digi stamp of a peony, (which is my favourite flower), I used PM's to colour. The image is from Just Inklined.  I wasn't too sure if there were purple peonies, all mine are red and pink.  But when I googled I found quite a lot of different purple variteies. Finally, I mounted my image onto purple silk cardstock...

Feeling Blue!!

Hi folks.  Well, the first week of 2012 went in the blink of an eye.

First of all, I would like to welcome, and thank,  my new followers during the past few weeks.

I don't know why, but I seem to be using a lot of blue on my cards of late.  Blue isn't one of my favourite colours, I tend to lean towards citrus.  Anyhow, here is another BLUE card...
I used a floral backing paper from the Crafty Secrets CD.  My image stamp is by K&Company, which I stamped and coloured with Pro Markers and then cut out and mounted onto a Spellbinders die. The 15mm saxe blue ribbon is from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop, and sentiment is by HOTP.

I am entering my card into the following challenges...

Birds - MMM Week 30

Hello everyone, hope you're all having a good day.  It's still very windy with lashing rain here.  We can see right across the Pennines and it doesn't look good...more gales forecast for tonight.

Today I've made a card to enter this weeks challenge over at Make My Monday and the theme is birds.

Here's my contribution...
I printed papers from the Crafty Secrets CD, and for my tiny pearls on the border I used a white pearl maker pen.  I used several dies from Spellbinder Ironworks collection and linked them together to form a holder for my image label.  The bird stamp is by Tim Holtz.  I created the sun and sky using distress inks and a small circle mask for the sun. Ribbon is from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop, and sentiment is by HOTP.

Bling hearts are from Smitten by K&Company.

Just One Word - LIM Week 47

Hi folks.  Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and now looking forward to 2012.

My keyboard decided to die over Christmas, and I had to buy a new one.  Also, my SLR camera has developed a large black spot on the inside of the lens.  If anyone has any advise on how to remove it, I would be very grateful.  I'm having to use my little point and shoot and the light has been so bad today.  So please excuse the photo.

Chrissie and Mandi over at Less Is More have challenged us to make a card using just one word.  For my card I used the Friends stamp by HOTP.


I embossed my base card.  The top is a Spellbinder picot edge die folded in half with threaded ribbon.  I stamped friends in black archival ink and touched the letters in with a turquoise glimmer pen to match the ribbon, and also added three tiny gems to the letter 'F'.

December Challenge #5 - Christmas - Anything With A Bow

Good morning everyone!  Hope you're all well and preparing for Christmas without too much stress.

This month it was my turn to choose the theme for our challenge over at the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop Blog. As my followers will already know, I love bows, so it wasn't hard for me to decide.  The challenge is...To make any Christmas card, or project, to include a bow.

Here are my three projects...

Spellbinder Ornament No.1
I made my ornament using the project I found here on Splitcoaststampers, which uses the Spellbinder Fleur di Lis die set.  I twisted my ornament around so that there were sixteen sections rather than the eight in the project. After assembly, I sprayed the whole ornament with iridescent Spray & Sparkle then added a large pearl cabochon.  The ribbon is 15mm white organza from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop. This ribbon is perfect for bows as it keeps it's shape so well. 

Spellbinder Ornament No.2


For my second ornament, I used Spellbinders Parisian Motifs, Ironwork Motifs and Standard Cicles.  The ribbon and bow were made with the  beautiful parrot green sheer polka dot ribbon from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop. I blinged the ornament with red and green rhinestones from my stash.  The centre was stamped, then coloured with pro markers.  I covered the berries with glossy accents to make them pop.

Christmas Cracker

My Christmas Cracker is 9" long and cut on the Cameo.  I used a 12"x12" (30cm x 30cm) piece of pearl red holly design 350gsm cardstock. The ribbon bows were made using 50mm white silky crush wired ribbon  from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.  Holly leaves were made from white cardstock, then glittered with Glamour Dust.  I added pink and white stamen to a pink Prima poinsettia.  The bling on the bows are actually diamante pins from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.  I cut them down with wire snippers before adding them to the bows.

Why not join in with us this month, as there will be a fabulous prize on offer from Sarah. 

Do visit my team mates who have some fabulous creations this month.

Have a great week! xx

Snowflake

Hi lovely blogging friends.  Hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend.
First of all I would like say a big 'Thank You' for all your lovely well wishes, which mean so much. It was lovely of you to take the time and leave some kind words.
I feel so much better today, and my fingers are no longer swollen. I have to wear support on my knee which may take six to eight weeks to fully recover.
Today I have a snowflake shaped card that was very quick and easy to make.
I cut the card shape and vellum overlay on the Cameo.  My bow is white seam binding from the  Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.  Before I tied the bow I sprayed the whole length of seam binding with iridescent Sparkle & Spray, which gave it a pretty sparkle.  Unfortunately it doesn't show up too well because of the bad light conditions here today.  Finally I stamped 'Snowflakes are Winter's Kisses' with Versamark ink and embossed with silver detail embossing powder.
I'll be back on Monday with a few more projects I've been working on today.
I'm entering my card into the Caravan Challenge #7 - Make It Sparkle!

I'll Be Back ASAP!

Good afternoon lovely bloggers. Hope you're all well.
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments on my work.  I hope I haven't missed commenting on any of your wonderful creations over the past few days.  I've tried to catch up using my laptop but it keeps crashing so I've given up on it.
I had a nasty fall on Saturday, trying to carry too many shopping bags.  I fell down some stone steps, smashed my left knee, knocked up and grazed all my fingers, which are now very swollen, and grazed my chin.  I feel as if I've been hit by a truck - LOL! I have to rest for a few days, but I will be back ASAP.
Thank you for stopping by!
AND...Take care! xx

Birthday Card & Gift Box

Hi everyone!  What a weird day, weather wise, here in West Yorkshire. We've had sun, rain, hail, gale force winds, and now it's very dull and raining.  The forcast for the weekend isn't much better.
Today I've made a birthday card and gift box for the Card Caravan Challenge #6 over at The Hybrid Chick, where the theme this month is Birthday.

I printed designs from the Quirky Twerp - Sugar Blossom collection at the Digichick onto 300gsm cardstock.  I also used peach bassil for my card base, label, box top and butterfly wings. Roses were made using a cut file from the Digichick Boutique.  Butterflies and label are a Silhouette cut file. Box flap was made using a Martha Stewart punch. Ribbon and bling are from my stash, and the happy birthday stamp is by Anna Griffin.

Winter Kisses

Good afternoon everyone. Hope you're all well.  I can't believe that we're approaching December already.  Where as this year gone?
Today, every shape, including the card, was cut on my new Silhouette Cameo.  Vellum mat, and sentiment label were all from the same shape scaled down gradually.  The snowflake on the bottom left was designed by the lovely Bird who offers her fabulous cut files free.  The vellum is by Papermania.  Stamped sentiment was a freebie stamp from a magazine.  The gorgeous ribbon is 38mm Faux Silk Wrinkle in Ivory from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.

I'm entering my card into the Charisma Cardz Challenge #46 - Snowflakes, and  Papertake Weekly Challenge which is Christmas Crackers
Thank you for stopping by!

Frosty Roses

Good afternoon lovely bloggers.  Hope you're all well and enjoying your weekend.  I haven't been doing much creating over the past few days.  I had a throat infection that turned into quincies, (abscess), and not very nice.  Anyhow, I got my act together today and parcelled up my cards for the St. Lukes charity Christmas Fayre, and then made this card for a friend to give to her friend...
I cut the card shape and a smaller second layer on the Silhouette Cameo, (my new toy), which is an early Christmas present from DH. I then embossed the second layer. Sentiment is computer generated onto a  Spellbinders labels twenty.  I cut some roses and leaves then frosted them with glamour dust.  My bow is 25mm Salmon Pink satin from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop. The pin is from my stash, to which I added some extra beads.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Let It Snow!! - Two Cards for St Lukes Charity Challenge

Hello lovely bloggers!  I'm late posting tonight, and because of the drab, dreary and miserable weather here in West Yorkshire today, my photo's didn't turn out too good.

I've made these cards for the St. Lukes Charity Card Challenge. The challenge is to make a Christmas card.  I need to get them off in the post this week, along with a few others I've made for such a wonderful charity.  


For my first card I used several layers from the Spellbinder Fleur Di Lis set.  Before layering, I rubbed clear VersaMark all over them and then sprinkled Kaleidoscope EP by Stampendous, then heat embossed. I had to lie my cards flat to to take the photo's, to show the effect of the beautiful EP.  The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat.
For my second card, I punched out lots of snowflakes and covered them with Glamour Dust, then arranged them at an angle across the card front.  This time, I used the largest die from the Spellbinder Ironwork Motifs set, (it makes a beautiful snowflake).  I did exactly the same technique with the EP as my first card.  For the center, I used a sentiment from Pink Petticoat, punched it out with a 2" circle punch, then went around the edge with Glamour Dust.
Thank You for stopping by!
Have A Great Day! xx

Blue Birdies

Good morning lovely bloggers.  Hope you're all looking forward to the weekend.  It's supposed to be mild with quite a lot of sunshine...YAY!!
For my card today I used some light and dark blue roses I made a while ago. I saw the November challenge over at Sir Stampalot was to use blue and green. I used some pale green backing paper from the Prima - Romantique 6"x6" paper stack. I also die cut a small border from mid blue basil card stock, and added some pale green gems. My stamped image is by Crafty Individuals. I used shades of blue and green promarkers to colour the birds and inked the edges with Bundled Sage distress ink. The stamped sentiment is by Anna Griffin.

A Trio of Cards

Hi everyone!  It's misty, damp and dreary here in West Yorkshire today.  Only six weeks to the shortest day, and then we're on our way back to longer days.

I've been on a bit of a roll...I made a card last night and two today. They're all a bit different for me, but I enjoyed making them using different techniques.
Card No.1 - I embossed the whole base card background, then stamped Anna Griffin rose image with Tuxedo Black onto a Spellbinder labels twenty.  The rose is coloured with - Barn Door, Spun Sugar, Victorian Velvet, Shabby Shutters and Bundled Sage distress inks.  Pearls and seam binding are from my stash.

Card No.2 - I made my own background by stamping an assortment of flourish patterns from Vintage Garden by Stempelglede, using Rusty Hinge distress ink. I then stamped the Anna Griffin sentiment onto a Spellbinder labels two with Chocolate Impress dye inkpad. I rubbed rusty hinge ink over some white card to make matching rolled roses then added some peach spotted organza ribbon.
Card No.3 - For this card I used an Anita's stamp that I've had for years and never used.  I stamped directly onto my card base with Tuxedo Black, then stamped again onto pink card for the flower and green card for the leaves.  I then paper pieced these onto my card. The sentiment is on the same stamp. Finally, I added a little pink twine bow.
Apologies for the long post, but I thought it was better than posting them all individually.

Enjoy the rest of today xx

Trimming the Tree

Happy Halloween everyone! And for those of you who will be celebrating with your children, I hope you have a lovely time.
I started to make my Christmas cards today, and although colouring isn't my forte, (I prefer painting), I quite enjoyed myself colouring in some Christmas images with Pro Markers.
For this card...first of all I covered the front with glittered vellum from Papermania. I then tore a piece of white paper to make some definition and form a bank of snow on the ground. I edged this with Glamour Dust.
 The stamped image is from LOTV, coloured with the Pro Markers and Glamour Dust to highlight the snow and fur trim. I then cut the image out and embedded it into the snow.
My sentiment is also from LOTV, I mounted it onto a doily from Spellbinders - Floral Motifs, then added some aurora borealis gems, and a bow made with the gorgeous 15mm red satin ribbon from The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.
I'm entering this card into the challenge at Make It Monday - Anything goes

Going Bats!!

Hello lovely bloggers!  It's three weeks since I last blogged and I'm feeling a bit mojoless, (is that a word?) LOL!  We were on holiday from 1st - 15th October.  I caught a virus that turned into a nasty chest infection and I've been feeling rotten for a few weeks now.
I hope you are all well and enjoying your crafting.
I had to motivate myself into making a few little Halloween treat boxes, and a card.  These are for some older children.  I still have to make a few more for the younger ones, and will upload those later.




Thanks for stopping by.  I will visit you all and see what you've been up to while I was away.
Enjoy the rest of the week xx

The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop - Challenge #3

Hi everyone.  Hope you're all well.  By the time this post uploads I will 'hopefully' be on a cruise ship with my DH celebrating our wedding anniversary.
The challenge at the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop Blog this month is...Anything Goes. Here are my three takes...

This gift box was cut on the Silhouette, as was the label. I designed the label myself, and layered it to give some depth. The box dp is digital, from Summertime Designs.
The ribbon is a gorgeous 38mm Ivory Silk Wrinkle from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.  It's so lovely to handle and ties bows wonderfully.

My second box is another design cut on the Silhouette.  For this one I used Moss Green seam binding from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop and the dp is a digital download from Nitwit designs. I cut out the star, added tacky glue, then sprinkled with diamond glitter.
Finally, I made a Christmas card in the shape of a stocking and covered it with dp from Summertime Designs. I coated the stocking top with tacky glue and then sprinkled Martha Stewart crystals over it. The ribbon is 15mm Moss Green satin from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop. The Christmas seal stamp is by Catslife Press.  It stamps really well, and is available from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.
Now why not pop on over to the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop Blog, and see the other DT members lovely creations.  And more importantly.....what fab goodies are up for grabs this month.

Thank you for stopping by!  I'll visit you all, to see what you've been up to when we get back.
