I used papers from my stash and gold mirri card. The stamp Pansy is by Imagination Crafts - in the Decoupage stamp range. i have four layers of the stamp decoupaged. I used Promarkers to colour the stamp parts. The sentiment is part of the stamp set. Purple gems added to embellish. Take care.
My 6" card has a background from a pad from The Works, set onto a soft gold mat. I used a Digi download and highlighted all the printed lines with a gold glitter pen. I added gold shimmery gems to the centre and outer spoke joins. Added die cut moons from wasted cut outs. Added a die cut Birthday wishes in soft gold onto a black background to create a dropped shadow. I hope you enjoy the challenge
I like these tall slimline cards. I started by adding a mat of yellow glitter card. A panel of green Hunkydory Adorable Scorable card. The spring flowers stamp is Dreamy Daffodils added in the Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine #240. Promarkers to colour the daffodils, which I also decoupaged. A glitter pen used around the daffodil panel. A thin white organza ribbon tied around the flower panel.' Happy Birthday' sentiment added from my stash on a piece of yellow glitter card. Thanks for popping by.
Hello and welcome. Today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz. #318 Any Colouring Medium chosen by Pamela. To see the inspiration from the design team please visit the blog.
I used a white 6" sq. card. These are the materials and techniques I used.
Black and yellow card for the mat and layer. DI Stormy Sky and Peacock Feathers created the watersplashed background. Hunkydory Love of Stamps - Sporting Chance stamps and silhouettes created the stamped and second generation stamping on the background and the sports equipment in the centre. A yellow die cut circle and a white one, coloured by blending DI Mustard Seed and Mowed Lawn. The sports equipment coloured with Promarkers, fussy cut and adhered to the lower part of the circles. Have fun colouring your project.
I used a 5x7in Kraft card, sorry for the poor colour of the Kraft card. The stamp is -Shop 'till you Drop by Daisy B stamps. I heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Coloured with pencils, Sentiment is by Stamps by ME. I hope you will be able to join in our challenge, remember it is for a month, so you have lots of time. Stay well.
My idea of a Yummy item is Ice Cream, not just a small ice cream but something I can't have (health reasons) a large Sundae or Knickerbocker Glory. So Yummy!. I placed a silver mirri card for the mat. The stamp is by Creative Expressions - Sundae, designed by Sam Poole. It is an oldie but I think a Goldie. I coloured the ice cream and sauce with Promarkers and highlighted areas on the glass, I added Glossy Accents to the cherry on top and the additional cherries, from a recent stamp set. A gold pen highlighted the sugar sparkles. I swooshed the background with Peacock Feathers. Added sparkly glitter gems. Have fun with your Yummy item and please stay safe and warm.
Deborah has chosen X is for XOXOXO. Love is till in the air for February. To see the design team's inspirational cards, please visit the blog.
My card has a 6" white base card, a mat of silver mirri card. A pink card with silver coloured patternered cards, all from my stash. I die cut the word 'love' and the XOXO. I hope you enjoy the challenge and feel inspired. Best wishes.
My card started with a 6" white card. A pink mat, it is pink, the photo doesn't show how light it is. Sorry. The main image sits on a white and red mat and layer. The image, of Paris, is part of a Rouge Noir Paper Dienamics kit. The right hand side is decoupaged with two layers. The added sentiment is a die cut.
I made a centre stepper card using a template, covered the white card with green patterned paper. A white rectangle card, blended with DI Mowed Lawn was decorated with sport related stamps. The original design was an item in Creative Stamping #92. Included were All Sorts Stamp Set from Hunkydory - Love of Stamps. I stamped each sport item, coloured them with Promarkers, fussy cut them out, then glued them in position. I hope you enjoy looking at the challenge and maybe you have a male person who is shortly going to need a card, male cards are really not difficult to make. Have fun.
Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Sparkles Monthly Challenges. It being my turn, I chose #161 For Men Only. I do hear many folk saying they find male cards difficult, well here is your chance to be inspired and have a go. To see the design team's inspiration, please visit the blog.
For my card, I started with a 5 x 7" card. I cut off just below half way down the front of the card to allow the letters to stand proud of the background. The background has a dark blue mat, the foxy paper is from a 12" sq. paper pad from the Paper Boutique - Whisper of Autumn, along with the stripes on the lower front of the card. I created the letters with my large alphabet dies, with two layers of white card and one of blue paper. The sentiment is also from the paper pad. Happy crafting,
For my card, I began with a 5" sq. white card. Created an aperture with a circle die. The sky and water were made by tearing pieces of different shades of blue paper and card. The fisherman and float were coloured with Promarkers. The design and all of the stamps were included with the Creative Stamping #86 magazine - By the Water set. I hope you enjoy making your 'Water' cards.
For my card I made a Kraft tent folding 6 x 4" card. The background red paper was from The Works, Hearts were die cut from my stash, along with the red thread/cotton. The white card added with 3d foam pads. The sentiment stamp again from my stash. Happy Valentine's Day to all.
On a 6 x 4 white card, I made a panel with black glossy card and red silk card. On a white piece of card, I added the I and U from my stash. The heart is a die cut heart embossed with an embossing folder. The sentiment stamp is also from my collection of stamps.
Happy Valentine's Day to you all.
For my 'Love' card I made a tent folding white card. Watercolour card was splattered with DI Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade for the background. The 3 hearts were created with the same technique, with more of the Spiced Marmalade added. The hearts were then die cut, added to the background. Swiggly lines added, along with Glossies. 'With' added alongside die cut in black 'love'.The watercolour piece added to the tent card with 3d foam strips. Enjoy and have fun entering the re-born challenge blog.
Hello and welcome. Today we begin a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenges. Helen has chosen #145 Non-Traditional Colours. To see the wonderful use of colour and the amazing cards from the design team, please visit the blog.
For my card- materials and techniques used.
Black and orange card for matting and layering. - Stamp press -
Crafter's Companion stamp set - Bethlehem Skyline - Hunkydory Prism ink pads -
1st layer - Jersey Chiffon, 2nd layer - Tiger Orange - 3rd layer - Versaclair Nocturne
This was my first attempt using this stamping technique, the stamps press certainly made it easier, but I think I need more practice, I will have another go, as I have another two stamp sets from the series, I need to get to the point of feeling more at ease making the card.
I chose from February 2022 # 172 Use Washi Tape. I have loads of it. Why? I have no idea, I love it but just don't use it enough, so here was another reason to use some. The main white card is 7 x 5 in. covered with a pretty reddy/tan colour, embossed using an embossing folder. The white panel has strips of Washi tape. The flower is on a circle base of Washi tape. The sentiment stamp is by Lisa Horton. I hope you like my card and feel you will enter the challenge.
I decorated a tall slimline. Black card was used for the large and 3 small mats. The stamps are by Woodware stamps - 'Take It Easy' , coloured with Promarkers. have fun and please stay well.
My card is a 6 x4 in, I coloured the edge of a white card with the broad end of a Promarker to give it the appearance of being a layer. The panel has been coloured with Worn Lipstick and blended with Picked Rasberry. The flower heads were stamped with the Picked Rasberry. The sweet pea stamps were stamped onto white card, coloured with Promarkers, fussy cut then adhered to the card. The stamps and sentiment are all from an A4 set of stamps by Card Making Magic, an addition to the magazine Creative Stamping #111. I hope you enjoy the challenge and have fun.
Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz - Melanie has chosen the theme #313 Birthday for a Child. To see the design team's creations, please visit the above blog.
I blended various blue Distress Inks for the background. Using green card I then cut the grass strips. Each animal, flower and the sentiment are from the same set of stamps by Sam Calcott, which were included with the magazine Creative Stamping #117. I coloured them all with Promarkers and fussy cut each one, adhereing the lower animals and flowers with glue, then the cow and sheep adhered with 3D foam pads. The number 2 stamped from a set of numbers in my stash.

The card is 7" sq. with scallop edges. It has a black mat, fancy background paper, which I gutted, so I have another piece of the paper for another card. Then the main image was added to a piece of red card. I added red gemstones, also I added lots of drops of Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Accents Berry Sparkle. Finally I stamped the birthday greeting from my stash.
