Guest Designer at Time Out

Today I'm very proud to be Guest Designer at Time Out. 

The challenge is to CASE this fabulous card by Ardyth .

For my card, I used a snowflake mask  and a Distress Ink pad. The sentiment is by Uniko and I added gems and glitter paper.

I hope you will come over to Time Out and see how their wonderful Design Team have CASED this card.

Thanks, Time Out, for letting me be Guest Designer!

Fun on a Broomstick

Here's a not-very-spooky Halloween card. I use a Mo Manning digital image of a witch, that I cropped to focus on the legs on the broomstick and coloured with alcohol markers. 'Have fun' was cut on the Silhouette and the 'halloween' is an Avery Elle stamp.  The holographic mirror card I've mounted the image on is a much better match to the other purples than shows in the photo!

City Crafter Challenge Blog - Did I make you up?

I chose this week's challenge at City Crafter - Did I make you up?  The challenge is to feature something on your card that may not really exist. I think unicorns probably do not exist!

For my DT card I used the unicorn set from My Favorite Things. 'U is for'was computer generated and the big 'unique' was cut on the Silhouette, using a computer font. I coloured with alcohol markers and added glitter.

Our Guest Designer this week is Gerdine and I hope you'll visit us at City Crafter and see what she, and the rest of the DT have made...and enter your own creation.

Thanks Pumpkin!

Just because we don't have Thanksgiving here, doesn't mean I can't make a pumpkin-y thanks card!

The wheelbarrow, large pumpkin and sentiment are by Clearly Besotted, the other pumpkins are by Inky Doodles and Inspired by Stamping and the stamped border is Basic Grey.

Labrador Love

This weekend I'm on pet-feeding duties while my daughter's at a wedding. She asked me to make a labrador themed wedding card for the happy couple. Time to getting out the Silhouette electronic die cutting machine!

I found some silhouettes of labradors online, traced and cut them. I cut 'forever' using a font on my computer. The card shape is a Silhouette cutting file.

Inkspirational Challenge - Use Five Stamps

This time at Inskspirational , Nonni is challenging us to use at least five stamps. This challenge is right up my street!  I used nine stamps  leaf pile, to different leaves and rake (Lawn Fawn), unicorn (a different Lawn Fawn set - it's Christmas themed, but I think it works well for autumn) , sun (W plus 9) and sentiment ( two Avery Elle stamps and the magical by MFT).

I hope you'll give this fun challenge a go, but before you do, please come over to Inkspirational and see the work of our Guest Designer, Bev and the rest of the DT.

City Crafter Challenge Blog- Photo

This week at City Crafter, Stella has chosen an inspirational photo and here it is:

For my DT card I used stamps that were a magazine freebie ages ago. I embossed the wreath in gold and finished the card with burlap, string and glittery dots.

This week , our Guest Designer is Agnieszka Kieler , so I hope you'll come over to City Crafter and see what she and the rest of the DT have made, and enter your own project.

Stylish Dog

This card was a commission from my (grown up!) daughter ...she told me she wanted a dressed-up dog and the words 'doggy style'. I hope that if you get the joke, you find it more amusing than offensive.

The stamp is by Woodware. I cut the words on the Silhouette and coloured with marker pens, using this week's colour combo at Less is More. 

I'm Surprise Sweetie at Cupcake Inspirations!

Today, I'm honoured to be Surprise Sweetie at Cupcake Inspirations. 

The challenge is a colour one:

For my card I used cardstock in the challenge colours ( I hope I got these colours right - seeing them on screen my brown looks a bit too dark!).  I cut the fox ( LD) and sentiment on the Silhouette and embossing the background with a Tim Holtz embossing folder. 

I hope you'll come over to Cupcake Inspirations and enter too. 

Thank you Cupcake Inspirations for having me as your Surprise Sweetie!
