Penguin CCC

 Hi Everyone, I have 2 DT cards today, I hope you will be able to visit each of them, this is for -

Critter Crazy

Anything Goes but they MUST feature a critter as the main focus 

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 

Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter...

I have had this die for a while and thought it about time he had another outing. The Mummy and baby were cut with the holly die. I added double-sided tape to the backing and added silver glitter, another layer of the Mummy penguin was added to ensure the glitter stayed where it was. I also used the die cut eye to both images.

The mountain die within the set, I used to shape the background mountains and colour and shade the background. I stamped the house and then the notice board and sentiment.

The whole layer was then attached to silver glitter paper and added to the card. The stars within the penguin, I added near the sentiment, a couple of gems and it was done.

Anything Goes every 1st & 15th of the month

 

My card today is another Christmas card, I was looking for ideas on the web and saw this sentiment, which I thought was perfect for my mouse today. I die cut the image 3 times with the Cameo. I coloured it in DI's and coloured the gold parts with gold ink, enhancing the lines with a black fine liner. I added 3D glaze on the bauble and his eyes, and inked a shadow under his feet. The sentiment was printed the same time as the die cut. I cut it up to add to the card. Then decided to add a slip of ribbon.

Creative Fingers Challenge # 244 
 

Motorbiker

 Hi Everyone, well what a rush I have been in, so many things to do, however nearly at the end now and I'll be able to show, what I've been up to.

Anyhow, here is one card that had to be rushed! I had forgotten to update my calendar and had to rush and make this card for our Great Nephew. He was 3 last week, how quick time goes. 

 His Sister and he had been bought a motorbike for their combined birthdays, so I had at least an interest to make a card with. I found this dear little image in my files which has been in my files for a long time (2013).  As usual, I print and cut with my Cameo the frame and the image 3 times. I coloured him with DI's and silver ink. He was then layered and added to the frame which I had already attached to the card. 

I then stamped my envelope with the twine stamp I used for the bauble card, (previous post).

I hope you are all dry and warm with this awful weather we are having, rain, rain and more rain. There we were worried that our reservoirs were too low, and people were worried about the drought, now we deal with flooding! Ah! The good old British weather ay? Have a great week.

Bauble

 Hi Everyone, I was reminded I haven't added anything to my blog! Therefore, this is one of the many cards I have done recently, I certainly have been busy, with Christmas and birthdays. Also making little gesture presents.  

Anyhow, my card today is for family abroad, trying to cut down on postage I stamped and embossed this card, a one layer, apart from the added bow! I have had this bauble for a couple of years at least and not used it before, the bow and twine stamps I had to have a few months ago and have used lots of it, especially on envelopes. The bauble and twine were stamped in red, and then I embossed the bow, twine, and sentiment in silver. I like the fact some red is showing through the silver on the twine.

bauble ink - a very old Whispers

twine stamp - Altenew

As I write it is lashing with rain, high winds dark and miserable here, at least it's not too cold at 9C. I hope you all keep dry and warm this week.

I'm entering into a new challenge for me, as CAS is not a natural thing for me to do, but hey! 

The Paper Players #618 

 

Nativity WLSC

Hi Everyone, my card today is for the mid month  We Love Stamping Challenge.

 

The theme for November is Christmas, so off I go to my stamps and put a couple together, here is the result. I die cut a few squares for the design, then coloured the larger one with DO's. I stamped the Nativity in black and the stars in white, which I embossed with white too. As an afterthought, I decided it should have a glow, so out with a stencil, I had cut with my Cameo ages ago. I placed it on top of the square and removed the ink through the stencil with an alcohol wipe, as I had seen some of you do. 

The next thing was to stamp the sentiment onto one of the smaller squares, I used DO ink and embossed it with sparkle clear powder.

I added all the white card squares to blue card and cut the border with my Mini Perfect layers ruler on the smaller size, then attached them to the base card, with the large and small bottom squares being 3D'd. 

There are some fabulous prizes, why don't you join us?

Coffee Brew

Hi Everyone, a very quick post as it's nearing the end of the challenge I have been persuaded to join by a blog friend, you know who you are. SO a VERY quick card, they say coffee on a card will do, so my plain and simple, I hope will do.

I have a few digital stamps with coffee, but chose this to play with. I print and cut 3 layers of the image, sentiment, coffee cup border and one of the coffee labels,  with my digital die cutting machine (Cameo). They were then coloured with DI's, not the best card to use with watercolour, but it was grabbed and printed before I thought what I was using.

The sentiment oval edge was shaded, and the coffee labels were added to the border cups, that I had designed and cut too. Anyhow, after colouring, I glued all the parts together and attached them to the card. Out of panic mode now, I know what I would have done to add something different.
