Trick or Treat

Good Morning,

Hope you have all had a good weekend and managed to make time for some crafting on World Card Making Day.  I did some crafting during the day and then settled down to watch Strictly Come Dancing in the evening. So glad it is back on.

Dynamic Duos launched their new challenge yesterday and the colours just said Halloween.

Supplies Used:
Fiskars - Elegant Vines
Unity Stamp Co - That's Creepy
Ribbon from my stash

I have got some friends coming round for lunch today, so better go get on with preparing some food.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend & thanks for visiting.

World Card Making Day

Well who knew? I certainly didn't, but since there is a whole day dedicated to making cards it would be rude not to!  So my first card of today is for this weeks Less Is More challenge.  This week is a colour challenge and Chrissie & Mandi have chosen Silver.  I have to admit that the colour challenges are probably the week I struggle with the most but here is what I ended up with.

Supplies Used:
Stampin Up - French Foliage
Woodware stamps - Sentiment
Versamark
Silver embossing powder
Dimensional stickers

Silver is not the best to try and photograph so you will just need to take my word for it that it is silver and not grey!

Christmas Stamp Two Ways

Good Afternoon,

This weeks challenge at One Layer Wednesday is to use one stamp two ways.  I took a little while to decide on which stamp to use, but in the end I decided on the fab sledging stamp from Stampin Up.  I bought this stamp set a couple months ago but somehow never got round to using it.  So here are my two creations

Supplies Used:
Stampin Up - Welcome Christmas Stamp
Ink Dusters
Tim Holtz Distress Inks
I have also snuck in a couple of tiny sparkly stars into the sky.

Supplies Used:
Same Stampin Up Stamp
Martha Stewart Stamp Around the Page
Unity Stamp Company Sentiment
Again a couple of bits of sparkle (sorry just can't help myself)

Monkeying Around

Good Morning,

Mel Jen Designs Digi Stamp
ProMarkers
Versamark
White embossing powder
Nestabilities
Dimension stickers

I am going out for lunch today as it's my friend Kath's birthday and we are heading to a lovely little town called Stonehaven.

Hope you all have a great day.

Get Socks

Good Morning,

Time for another Christmas card from me today. I had a quick count up of my Christmas cards last night and I am up to 15, not bad for the beginning of October.

Supplies Used:
Penny Black - Holiday Hugs
Stampendous - Get Socks
ProMarkers
Nestabilites
Glossy Accents

Challenges Entered:
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge - All wrapped up
Pixies Crafty Workshop Snippet Challenge

This card actually started off as a one layer card, however when I went to stamp my sentiment using my stampamajig, it turned out I didn't clean it too well and I left some ink from my last project on it.  You can still see it a little bit but I couldn't face colouring my image again.  So this is my rescued attempt and now snippet card.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Good Morning,

First day of October, I can't believe how quickly this year is flying past.  It's going to be December before we know it!

Today's card is for the Dynamic Duos Challenge

As you will see my second colour choice is 'Gold' hopefully this is allowed.

The Christmas Bauble image is from Waltzing Mouse and it is embossed with Wow Gold embossing powder.  I used my Stampin Up Stripe stamp for the bottom section of the card and a sizzix embossing folder for the top.  The red ribbon is from my stash.

I just loved this image as soon as I seen it and thought it would be perfect for Jamie on our wedding day so he knew exactly what the future held!
