More Christmas Cards from World Cardmaking Day

Hello Everyone,

I'm back to share some more of the Christmas Cards I made for World Cardmaking Day.  I had started all these yesterday and actually completed them today.  I have actually now completed another 15 cards, but I will save some of these for future posts.

I've used Beautiful Season Stamp Set and Season of Style paper Stack from last year for this batch of cards.


These ones have a bit more of a Vintage feel too them using Cardstock of Early Espresso and Crumb Cake with some Cherry Cobbler ribbon and paper doily.  I've used Early Espresso ink for the stamping.   Come and have a closer look. 


The main image was cut out with the Deco Label Framelits and the sentiment was punched out with the Decorative Label punch.  I really like how these turned out.  You could age them even more by sponging ink around the edges of the card if you wish.  I made 6 of these.




Here is another cute Santa card made with the Jolly Old Saint Nick (vintage) stamp set combined with Washi tape.


I've used a Whisper White card base with Real Red card for the Label Framelits used to mat and cut the image.  I've used Blendabilities for the bit of colouring on this image and some Dazzling Details as well on Santa's hat.  I've added some washi tape to the corner of the card and the sentiment here is from Good Greetings Hostess set available for a limited time.  I have a closeup of the image below.



I'm really quite pleased with myself at how productive I've been this weekend.  Hope you have a great weekend too.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Image
Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
