CCT Anything Goes

At last I've managed to make a card! I have to admit that over the past few months I have totally lost my love of card making so decided to take a break, hopefully I'll be making a few more over the coming months.

This card is for this week's CCT challenge which is Anything Goes. I saw the card idea on the Seven Hills Crafts blog and loved it as it is so effective. The stamps, dies and sentiment are all Lawn Fawn. I coloured the image with Copics, added some Fluffy Stuff to the hats and a few highlights with a Posca white pen. The snow in the background is embossed with white embossing powder .

I hope you have a fabulous Christmas x

CCT Something Metallic

This weeks theme at CCT is Something Metallic. I am making a start on my Christmas cards as I'm doing overtime each week until Xmas and most of our weekends are going to be busy. I stamped 'Snowy' by Penny Black and added a little colour with Copics and paper pieced his hat and scarf. The stamp in the corner was a magazine freebie and I embossed it with Tim Holtz sticky embossing powder and added some Creative Expressions glitter. It doesn't show up too well in the photo but it is very sparkly in real life. The metallic part of my card is the silver mirri card behind the white layer.

I hope you all have a good week, we are off to Lyon on Saturday for a couple of days.

CCT Add a Quote

The theme at CCT this week is Add A Quote.I have made a Christmas tag using a Penny Black stamp and Mama Elephant stamps and dies. The reindeer are coloured with Copics and I added some Glossy Accents to their noses. I haven't made a shaker card for many years but I really enjoyed making it, I just need to remember how to stop the sequins sticking to the acetate!

Hubby and I are off to Prague for a few days on Sunday with my son and his girlfriend, I'm really looking forward to it. We have a trip to Terezin concentration camp booked and are also planning a day at the zoo. I'm also meeting up with a friend I worked with a few years ago.

CCT Anything Goes

The theme at CCT this week is Anything Goes. I have made another quick Christmas card with a Penny Black image coloured with Copics.

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and gets lots of crafty goodies. I'm hoping to get a few new dies and stamps.

CCT Animals and Birds

This weeks theme at CCT is animals and birds. I have made a very quick card using Tim Holtz dies. The reindeer is cut from double sided adhesive and is covered in gold glitter, it is so sparkly but it doesn't really show in the photo. The joy is cut from gold mirri card and I made the ticket shape from a rectangle of card cut with a corner punch.

CCT One Layer

The theme at CCT this week is one layer cards. I have stamped a Tim Holtz bird crazy stamp onto kraft card and given him a santa hat. The images are coloured with my new Lyra Polycolor pencils and I have added a bit of glitter and an Inkadinkadoo sentiment. 

CCT Sparkle

This weeks theme at CCT is Sparkle, perfect for all your Christmas cards. I have used a Spellbinder bauble die and a Creative Expressions stamp for my card. I have stamped the image with Versamark and then used Ranger sticky embossing powder so that I could cover the image with glitter. The photo does not really show the sparkle but it is really 'blingy'. The sentiment is Stampin Up.

We have another fab prize to give away this week so I hope you'll be able to join in the challenge.

Have a good week. 

CCT Red & Green

This weeks challenge at CCT is red and green. I have made a Christmas card using this gorgeous Stampendous stamp which I stamped the image onto cream card, distressed with Distress Ink and coloured the image with Prismacolors. I added various Frantage glitters and powders and some ultra fine glitter to the berries.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have another fab prize. Enjoy your week.

CCT - Snowflakes

This weeks challenge at CCT is snowflakes. I have made another super quick card using a Memory Box die and Cuttlebug embossing folder. The snowflake is cut in silver mirri card and has a little gem in the center and that's about it really apart from a sentiment and piece of ribbon!! I'm trying to finish all my Xmas cards as I have some new scrummy Stampin Up goodies to play with.

Bed time for me now, have a good day!

CCT 242 - Sketch

Well I've finally got round to making a card for the CCT challenge which this week is a sketch from Deb. I love this sketch, nice and simple which is about all I can manage at the moment!! I have used kraft card, some MM paper and a Hero Arts stamp. The image has been coloured with Copics and I have added a bit of glitter and some Flower Soft to his hat. Hopefully I'll get back into card making now!

I am also going to enter my card in this weeks Papertake challenge which is Anything Goes.
I had a great time in Prague with Kerry, its a beautiful city and I'm looking forward to going back in Feb for a few days with hubby.

I hope you'll be able to join in with this weeks challenge as we have a fab prize.

Have a good week.

CCT - So Distressing

Can't believe it's Thursday again and time for another CCT challenge. This weeks challenge is So Distressing and we are sponsored by Bugaboo Digi Stamps. I have coloured this cutie, Ava Mistletoe Fairy with Copics and used Distress Inks around the edges. I have added a few punched snowflakes and glitter and gems. Her dress isn't so bright, not sure why it looks like this on the photo!

I hope you will be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have a fab prize.

Penny Black Christmas Card

Well I have finally got round to starting my Christmas cards! I treated myself to a couple of new Penny Black stamps, this one, Snow Kiss, is so cute I think I will be using it a lot, if I get time!!! The image is coloured with Copics and I have added Flower Soft and lots of glitter, a really quick + simple card.Well I'm off to get my hair cut in a while and then I'm planning on doing some reading. I have started reading the Henning Mankell 'Wallander' books, they are fab. I would definetly recommend them and I just can't put them down.
Have a good evening.
