CASE-ing Christmas Challenge #7 + Blog Candy

Hi There

It's time for another challenge over at CASE-ing Christmas, this time the inspiration comes from the talented Donna. Come and join us for a chance to win some fab blog candy.

I went with a landscape version of the layout plus the colour scheme. The sentiment is from the Most Wonderful set by Clearly Besotted and the flowers are from the Everything Eleanor set by Stampin' Up!, I added some pattern paper and ribbon from my stash, a bit of bling and it was done.

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx

Two Card Tuesday #1

Hi There

I have decided to set myself some challenges so I make more cards and blog more. Not sure if it will work, life normally gets in the way of best made plans but, here goes!

To start off I thought I would do a Two Card Tuesday. For this I set myself the challenge to make 2 cards, one for a girlie and one for a blokie, but use the same sketch, just change up the colour combo, pattern papers etc. I should have a stash of 'hard to make for blokie' cards in no time!?!

Thanks for looking

Here is the girlie one

And here is the blokie one, although it could work for a teen?

House of Cards February Challenge – Love

Hi There

I'm back with another challenge over at House of Card. The theme this month is Love .

For this card I used a stamp set I got a few months ago which came free with the magazine Get Stamping. I was drawn to the retro tattoo style of the wings on the heart and thought it would look good as a pic in a frame, the background was clear embossed to make the aqua card stock look like flock wallpaper to keep it retro.

CASE-ing Christmas Challenge #5 + Blog Candy!

Hi There

Back again for Challenge #5 over at CASE-ing Christmas. This week the inspiration comes for the Lovely Mynn.

I have gone with the layout for my card but chosen a completely different colour combo. I used the cute papers from Lawn Fawn's Snow Days, one of the pieces has a scene with some sweet bunnies on so all I had to do was cut around them and the main feature was sorted. I used some tracing paper to tone down the busy holly backing paper as well as to punch out some snowflakes, just added some twine and done!

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx

Here is Mynn's card

And here is my take on it

CASE-ing Christmas Challenge #4 + Blog Candy!

Hi There

I am back for CASE-ing Christmas Challenge #4 where there is some fab Blog Candy still up for grabs to win.

This week the inspiration comes from the talented Rocky. I have stuck with the purple but decided to flip the layout to make a portrait version. I made the 3 shapes into windows for the cute critters from Lawn Fawn to pop their heads out of, add a sprinkle of sequins and snowflakes and done!

CASE-ing Christmas Challenge #2 + Blog Candy!

Hi There

I have more great news, I have been accepted onto another design team, Yah!

CASE-ing Christmas is a challenge blog that helps us get ready for the Xmas rush, by making a card a week while taking inspiration from a previously made card by one of our design team we should have enough cards in no time.

Challenge week #2 inspiration comes from the very talented Pat. For my version I kept to the purple colour scheme, which was handy as I have just received my January Simon Says Stamp card kit and the papers included were from Bo Bunny and Purple, result! I also kept to the same layout but swapped the metallic flower for a shiny snowflake.
