The new challenge on Something Completely Different this week is to make a Christmas card with Blue, White and Snowflakes. I wanted to try out my new Cricut and so made this quite simple card by cutting 2 snowflakes with it, the backing paper is DCWV and the message is from Personal Impressions. I finished it off with a brad and some Liquid Pearls.
Flowers this week on Linda's Alphabet Challenge Blog. One of my favourite themes. I used my LB Crafts Secret Garden stamp for this and water coloured the flowers and rubbed chalk ink over the background, and the small flowers are Tapestry stamps.
The current weekly challenge set by Liz on Magical Crafts Forum is to make any sort of Christmas card - so I used my lovely House Mouse Ho! Ho! Ho! stamp and cut some mats with my Slice and embossed snowflakes with a CB folder to make this quite simple but I hope effective card!
The new challenge on My Time To Craft is Under My Umbrella. I used one of my favourite House Mouse stamps for this one together with some patterned papers and a Pink Gem greeting.
I made this card for the Magical Crafts Fortnightly Challenge blog's 2nd challenge, which is to use a Santa or Snowman, something sparkly, ribbon and a Christmas flower (including holly etc). I used my new Lindsay Mason snowman stamp kindly bought for me by She, and I coloured him with Copics. I used DCWV paper and glittery card for the holly cut with a Sizzix die. I sparkled the snowman's hat and scarf and added a little silver ribbon, I think I got it all!
The new challenge on Something Completely Different this week is to use Pink on our cards and Christmas Trees. I used some DCWV papers, embossed snowflakes with a CB folder, cut out some trees on my Slice and the snowflakes is a QK die.
The weekly Christmas Card challenge on Magical Crafts Forum is to use a favourite sentiment on our card. I love this Penny Black stamp, and cut mats with my Slice and used my Snowflakes embossing folder for the background.
Elephant! We are at E this week on Linda's Alphabet Challenge Blog, and continuing with my atc book I have used a Tanda elephant stamp for my atc.
I am taking part in a Rememberance Swap on Craft Swap Forum and thought today would be a fitting day to blog my atc I have made for it.
The new challenge on My Time To Craft is to use a tag somewhere on our work. I used my Stampington stamp again, on a roll with him here! and some HOTP papers, edging with Gold Krylon pen and cut the holly and snowflakes with my Big Shot.
The current challenge on DragonsDream Tag It On, is to use fruit on our tags. I love this Rubber Stampede Christmas stamp with a pear on so used that with Fired Brick Distress Ink, Lettuce Adirondack Ink and Krylon pen, Gold Glimer Mist, together with some ric rac and ribbon to finish.
The project on Ready Steady STAMP for the next 4 challenges is to make a Christmas Banner, using a colour theme of our choice throughout but the ingredients given each challenge. For this one we had to use stars, glitter or gems, heat embossing and a stamped and cut out image. I have chosed to use brown/gold/red for my colour theme. I used my Stampington stamp for the image, I seem to be using it a lot lately!
There are 2 new challenge blogs this week, Magical Crafts Fortnightly Challenge Blog and Susie's Sassy Challenge. There might be more too lol! So many these days! Magical Crafts challenge is to make a Christmas card, and an ornament, using Green, Red and Gold. I made my card and little frame thingy using HOTP papers, a Stampington & Co. stamp, Distress Ink, and grungeboard and grungepaper embellishments painted gold with Adirondack Gold Dabber. Susie's challenge is to make a Christmas Card, so I am entering mine for this too. And the challenge on Something Completely Different is Holly and the Ivy - use Red, Green and Gold so I am entering these for this one as well.
well actually, on Linda's Alphabet Challenge Blog, D is for Decoupage this week. You might wonder where my decoupage is on my atc! I am making mine into a book, and I really really don't like doing decoupage! So I cheated a little this week, I made my atc and stamped and cut out some pieces and assembled them on the atc to photograph it for the challenge, then took them off again so my atc in my book will be what I wanted!!
So here is the 'decoupaged' version before I took the bits off again!!
I needed a birthday card for a friend, so got my Dusty Concord and Milled Lavender Distress Inks out and some flower stamps and made this one.
This week's challenge on My Time To Craft is So Many Scallops. I made a LO of our birds and aviary which we built this summer, using a kit I had won a while ago.
I was lucky enough to picked as the winner of last week's Christmas Card Challenge on Magical Crafts Forum and it is therefore my turn to choose the theme for this week's challenge. I chose Trees for Christmas and have made my card with a snowy woodland trees stamp. I am also entering this for the Anything Goes Challenge on Craft Swap Forum which this month is Chilly.
The challenge for October on Something Completely Different has been Inchies, and this week's theme is Halloween. I didn't have much small halloweeny stuff but found some images on a Joanna Sheen CD! I drew the spiders web in the background and edged it with Copper Krylon. It looks better IRL, but I needed the macro setting on the camera to get the detail!!
For Challenge 8 on Ready-Steady-STAMP, we were asked to use C for Christmas, Black, Silver and Lilac, Snowflakes, Crackle glaze of some sort and a skinny sized 2" x 4". As I like to make fat book pages for my challenges which are 4" x 4", I had to have a think about how to get a "2 x 4" on that would look OK. I hope I achieved that lol! I used a deer Inkadinkado stamp and HOTP snowflakes and greetings stamps. I used Dusty Concord Distress Ink for the backgrounds, spritzed with water and Silver Glimmer Mist which doesn't show up too well on the photo. The crackle glaze is on the black snowflakes and behind the large silver one which also doesn't show up too well!
This week on Linda's Alphabet Challenge Blog, we have C for Circles. I made an atc for my new A - Z ATC Book, using circles background paper, a clock and other circular embellishments!
