Halloween Disco

Here's a photo of my son, the werewolf, and his friend, Jack-O-Lantern, at the school Halloween Disco. I used papers from Kaisercraft and a toppling pumpkins cut file from the Silhouette store.   The title (under the photo)  doesn't really show up too well - it says 2 Ghoul 4 School (thanks for the idea, Rhoda!).

Deer and Wreath

The Christmas card stash is building up! Here I've used a deer and sentiment from two different Avery Elle sets. The gold embossed wreath was a magazine freebie and the background was made with Brushos.

City Crafter - Halloween

Stella has chosen Halloween for the new challenge at City Crafter. For my DT card I used a digistamp from Robyn's Fetish, which I coloured with alcohol markers. The spider and 'boo' are stamps by Daisy and Dandelion, and the web is Stampin Up.

Our Guest Designer this week is Sarah , 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.

Bike and Balloons Birthday

One of my colleagues organised a surprise for another workmate who was turning 30. She did a little collection, got some people to bake cakes and asked me to make a card for everyone to sign. I was really nervous about this and worried about whether people would think it was good enough! But it seemed to go down well.

Anyway, I used a large card-base (I think it's 8 x8). As the birthday girl is a cyclist, I cut a bike (Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons SVG) on the Silhouette , and then the balloons (also PPPR but I had to play about with this file) . I cut the sentiment and the 30 on the Silhouette using computer fonts, and I dry embossed the background.

Inkspirational Challenge - Black and One Other Colour

Our new challenge at Inkspirational is to use black and one other colour . For my DT card I used butterflies from Avery Elle and a sentiment (Happy Little Stampers) . I must admit it's hard to see the black in the photo!  I stamped the butterflies in blue and then added touches of black ink and stamped them over again. Then I used the blue ink as a watercolour on the wings. The base card is actually black! I think it looks more navy in the photo.

We have a fabulous Guest Designer, Cheryl , joining us, so please come over to Inkspirational to see what she's made, and see the work of the DT , before entering your own creation.

Christmas Card Swap Kit - Robin

This is the final card from the card swap kit  with Nonni and Pia .

Here I used the patterned paper from the kit and die-cut it to make the robin the focal point. I framed it using some leftover woodgrain paper from one of Nonni's kits.  I embossed the base card with a woodgrain pattern and distressed some patterned paper with a music embossed pattern, adding twine and the charm from the kit. The sentiment was cut on the Silhouette.

Christmas Card Kit Swap - Penguin

Here's another card from my card kit swap with Nonni and Pia. 

From the kit I used the penguin and balloon digi (A Day for Daisies)  and a panel of snowfall acetate, attached with brads. The buildings are a Crafty Impressions stamp and I cut the words out of glitter paper on the Silhouette.
