Another Challenge Card.........

Hi all...hope your week's going well for you...mine's not too bad I'm pleased to say...got a bit more card making done and this new card is my entry for Delicious Doodles Challenge #56.  I used the digital stamp "Rosalee" designed by Teri Sherman...you may have seen I used this stamp on a card in a previous post...I just love it...!! As always the image was coloured with my trusty Promarkers...what else...LOL

 The card design is a cutting file by Rae Carr cut using white linen card and a yellow textured card...the topper part of it could be used on a normal type card I suppose instead of using it as an easel card...I don't think there would be a problem with the designer if I did that would you think...!!  Anyways here it is.....

As you can see I finished the card by embellishing with a seam binding bow, stick on pearls, an embossed sentiment and a fabric butterfly.  I have to say it does look better when you see it...my photography leaves a lot to be desired...LOL

Thank you for popping by...until next time...take care....!

Here Comes Santa...........................

Hi I'm just going to upload another Christmas card to show...another one for the pile...LOL

The cutting file is a design by Tina Fallon at Craftsuprint. I cut the base card using an A4 white linen card...backed the aperture with black textured card and cut the Santa and reindeer using silver mirri card...adding a couple of small snowflakes, gems and a bakers twine bow to finish it off...quick and easy but effective....!!  I had a bit of bother though trying to get a decent photo of it...mirri card isn't one of the easiest mediums to photograph...LOL...but perseverance paid off I suppose I got not too bad a photo...LOL

Well that's me for tonight...hope to be back soon...thanks for calling by...until next time...take care...!!

Christmas & Birthday............

Not long in between postings this time.....I must be getting better and I just hope it lasts...LOL

 I'm just popping in quickly today to upload two recently made cards for you to have a look-see. Both cards were made with files from Craftsuprint one a cutting file and the other a pyrimage sheet (hope that's the right spelling).....here goes....



This has been added to my slow growing Christmas card pile...daren't think of the number I still have left to make...will have to get a move on soon because as they say "time waits for no man" or woman as the case may be...LOL


It took me ages to find this sheet...my grandson is learning to play the drums at school and I wanted something featuring them...I usually base my birthday cards around their interests at the time...I hope he likes it....!!  I did a nice insert for the card too but had yet another one of my "senior moments" and didn't take a photo....doh!!  

Anyways that's me for the time being...will be back soon...thank you for visiting hope you call again.....take care...!!

Birthday Card...UR 18..........

Hi just popped on to post the birthday card my sister asked me to make when she was visiting...although she was really happy with it on reflection looking at the photo I can see how I could have made it a bit better...but never mind its done now and is now in the UK.

My sister and hubby were our last visitors for this year...have had a very busy time since June...but I'm not complaining...I love it when they all start arriving...sometimes it's tiring but got to admit I love it...!!  I'd be really hurt if they didn't want to come...!!  Anyways I wont have to wait until next year to see them all again as hubby booked for us to go over to the UK for Christmas and the New Year...can't wait...!!

Well back to the task in hand......the card...hope you like.....

That's it folks I hope you've enjoyed visiting and I really hope you visit again...until next time then...take care...!!

Poppy Easel Card...............

Good evening hope you've all had a great weekend...I've been doing a bit of crafting and also getting ready for my sister and hubby's visit next week...I may be missing for a while whilst they're here...but just maybe whilst they're chilling in the sunshine I might just sneak off for half an hour and do something crafty...LOL

Well my main reason for this visit is to post the card I've made to enter in the Stamping Sensations September Challenge...haven't entered a challenge for an absolute age due to mojo going off the boil...but as Mr Mo is finally making an appearance once again I thought this is as good a time as any to start entering challenges again.  Hope you like my entry.....

The cutting file used is a design by Rae Carr...I used it in portrait mode to comply with the shape of the image.  The digi stamp is one by Teri Sherman...I do love her stamps...and as always I coloured the image with Promarkers.  The image and sentiment were backed with black card and then I added some faux stitches..black gems and bakers twine to finish.  I also sponged green ink around the cutouts but it doesn't show up too well in the photo.

Well I'm afraid that's it for this visit...thank you for visiting...until next time take care.

Cheers !!...........

Hi I'm back again...not much of a time lapse this time though lol...got the latest card I've made to show you.  This image by Victoria Case has been used by me a few times now...one of my favourite digi stamps I have to say...!!  Hope you enjoy looking........

As I said earlier the image is a digi stamp by Victoria Case and coloured with Promarkers...the chevron file was from Krafting Kelly on Silhouette Plus and after cutting it out I backed it with a piece of blue textured card.  I've also used the file in portrait mode...the wording I cut using a white smooth card and did an offset with black card.  The plaid background is a digi paper that was amongst my files...sorry I can't remember who I got it from I normally note the source of a file but this time I apparently didn't.  Maybe someone will put me right...!! 

Thank you for popping in and visiting my little part of blogland...I'll be back soon...until then take care...!!

Happy Birthday......

.....to a lovely friend...!!

 

 I've been waiting a while to cut this file and the upcoming birthday of my friend gave me the chance to do so......I'm just hoping she likes it...!!

 

The file is from the Silhouette online store.  I resized the file for my use...it's really pretty when completed and doesn't need much if any embellishing.  For my part all I used to embellish the card were flat-backed pearls...a sentiment that I embossed and has ended up looking more cream than white but it works and a small butterfly that was fluttering around in my craft stash for I don't know how long...LOL.  I also made the insert as a PNC...it was only a plain one apart from the verse so I didn't bother to take a photo...but it did turn out well couldn't believe how easy it was to do.

Must go now but thank you for calling by...hope you've enjoyed visiting me...please call again...until next time...take care...!!
