CCT Anything Goes

The theme at CCT this week is Anything Goes.  I've made another page for my planner using an old Magnolia stamp. I coloured the image with Zig Clean Color pens and added a sentiment from the Kaisercraft paper pack. 

I've dug out some of my favourite older stamps and have had great fun colouring them and adding them to my planner pages.

I'd like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and don't forget we have an new challenge starting on Boxing Day xx

CCT Anything But A Card

The theme at CCT this week is Anything But A Card. I made a bottle treat hanger to match my daughter's birthday card to put on her bottle of Prosecco. The papers are Maja design and I have added lots of flowers and a Martha Stewart punched butterfly and Magnolia fronds.

CCT Lace and Pearls

The theme at CCT this week is Lace and Pearls. Its my daughter's 22nd birthday tomorrow and this is the card I have made for her. The papers are Maja Design and I have added various flowers, pearls and lace which I had in my stash. The shaped dies cuts are Go Kreate and the fronds are from Magnolia. I painted the little wooden birdcage with gesso, this was in a set of 10 which were a bargain from The Works for £1. The sentiment is made with a Lisa Bernstein font off the PC.

CCT Halloween

This weeks theme at CCT is Halloween. I used an old Magnolia ghost stamp on my card and created the background with Distress Inks. The fence is a Die-Namics die and the tree is Lawn Fawn. The word is cut with Tim Holtz thinlits.

CCT CAS

The theme at CCT this week is Clean and Simple. I have made a card using just white and kraft card. The background stitched quilt die is by Lil Inkers and the dandelions were a bargain from Ebay, they were 99p for the 2! I have recently bought quite a few unbranded dies from Ebay and they cut really well and are so inexpensive. The sentiment is Magnolia and has been heat embossed in white.

Hopefully this will post ok as we are away in Devon for a few days and I have scheduled the post.

CCT Things With Wings

The theme at CCT this week is things with wings. I made a tag for my mum's 90th birthday using Graphic 45 Botanical Tea papers. The papers have been edged with Distress Ink and I added a Magnolia die cut strip and Tim Holtz die cut numbers.

CCT Chocolate

The theme at CCT this week is Chocolate. I couldn't find anything chocolate related in my stash so went for chocolate coloured papers etc. I inked the edges of the tag with Distress ink and added papers and an image from Maja Design. The poinsettia and lace border are Tim Holtz dies and the fronds are Magnolia. The Poinsettia is cut from vellum, embossed with the matching Tim Holtz embossing folder and I added some gold guilding wax to give a little shimmer. To finish the tag I added some Fran-Tage to the background and glitter to the tree.

We have another great prize this week so I hope you can join us.

CCT Easter

This weeks theme at CCT is Easter. I have made another of my quick cards this time using two old Magnolia stamps which I have coloured with Distress Markers.

I hope you will be able to join us this week as we have another great prize.

CCT Awesome Autumn

This weeks theme at CCT is Awesome Autumn. I decided to make an ATC using one of my favourite Magnolia Edwin images. The image is coloured with Copics and I have added a Magnolia sentiment. The papers are some which I won about 7 years ago!

CCT Blue and Green

This weeks theme at CCT is Blue and Green. I have used a magnolia Tilda image for my card and Prima card pack which came free with a craft magazine. The image has been coloured with Distress Ink and I have added a die cut flourish cut with a Tonic die. The kraft card has been punched with a Stampin Up punch.

I hope you'll be able to join us this week as we have another fabulous prize. I am hoping for another nice weekend as I want to get out on my bike again. Hubby has decided he wants to do Triathlons so got himself a new road bike and I've decided to try a few bike rides with him!

CCT Girls, Girls, Girls

The theme at CCT this week is Girls, Girls, Girls. I have used Maja Design papers for my card and a matching image. The flowers are cut with the Tim Holtz Tattered Floral die and I have added some cheesecloth and Shabby White Fran-Tage. The border and corner are cut with Magnolia DooHickey dies.

CCT Cold and Frosty

The theme at CCT this week is Cold and Frosty. I have made a tag using Pion Design papers and image. I have machine stitched around the tag and distressed the edges with Antique Linen Distress Inks, the flower is cut with a Tim Holtz die and the Sprawling Ferns are a Magnolia DooHickey die. I have added a few pearls, a small piece of cheesecloth, lace and FranTage champagne glitter to finish the tag.

CCT Eternal Flame

This weeks challenge at CCT is Eternal Flame. I have decorated a candle using an old Magnolia snowman stamp which I coloured with Distress Inks. 

Hopefully as this post goes live I'll be sat on a plane waiting to take off for a few days in Budapest, can't wait.

CCT Anything Goes

This weeks theme at CCT is Anything Goes. I have made another picture frame using the Tim Holtz Cabinet die and Maja Design papers. The flowers were made with the Spellbinders Bitty Blossom dies and the leaves are a Magnolia Sprawling Ferns die. I added some berries, a birch cone, lace and some cheesecloth and then finished off with Shabby White Fran-tage, Glamour Dust and snowtex. I have cut an easel with the Tim Holtz easel die so that the picture will stand up.

I hope you will be able to join in this weeks challenge.

CCT So Angelic

The theme this week at CCT is So Angelic. I have made a large tag which I covered with Basic Grey papers. The angel stamp is from a set by Stempelglede which I have had for a few years and the music stamp is from Magnolia. I have used Vintage Photo distress ink around the images and the tag. I have added a flower, pearl and leaves from the Tim Holtz Tattered Pinecone die.

I really enjoyed making this tag, its ages since I made anything 'vintagy' - is that a word!

I hope you'll be able to join us this week.

CCT Signs of Distress

The challenge this week at CCT is Signs of Distress. I have used Tilda papers and die cuts from the Winter Memories pad and added a few pearls and lace and some Fran-tage on the blue tag. I stamped the Magnolia swirls on the paper and distressed around the edges with a Versamagic inkpad.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have a fab prize from Bunny Zoe's Crafts. 

CCT Something Old

Its time for a new challenge at CCT and this week it is Something Old. I have decided to use a very old Magnolia pram stamp which is one of the first Magnolia stamps which I bought. The image has been stamped with Momento ink and coloured with Copics. I embossed the white card with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and added a scrap of Christmas DP which I had lying around. Another super quick card!

I hope you all had a good week, we visited the Harry Potter, Warner Bros Studio Tour on Saturday. It was amazing even for me who wasn't really a Harry Potter fan, the sets etc are so interesting and the Hogwarts model - well I won't say anymore in case you are planning a visit as I don't want to spoil the surprise! In fact I even came home and downloaded the books to my Kindle! I'll leave you with a couple of photos from our day out.

CCT 'Food + Drink' Challenge

Here is my card for this weeks CCT challenge which is Food + Drink. I have just rejoined the CCT design team after a 2 year absence and am really looking forward to been part of the DT again, thanks to Deb +co for asking me back :-)

Its a bit of a basic card I'm afraid as I was running late due to working Mon & Tues nights. I have stamped Edwin and coloured him with Copics and used some very old Paper Crate paper which I found in my box. The edges have been distressed and I added some faux stitching.

I hope you'll be able to join us this week as we have a fab prize from Whiff of Joy.

I'm off work today and am hoping to get another couple of cards made. 

Have a good Thursday.

Another Card!

I managed to get another card made yesterday although I forgot to take a photo of it, so I had to do it quickly this morning before Al took it to school. This explains the shocking photo!
I have welded another panel together on the Gypsy for the shaped card and added a couple of layers. The papers are Magnolia and the stamp is from Sugar Nellie.
Its back to work for me tonight and I'm not in until 23.00 so I'm hoping we don't get anymore snow or I wont want to go out!!! Have a fab day and weekend (I'll be sleeping through most of it unfortunately).

Cute Card Thursday 'No DP'

This weeks challenge at CCT is to use no DP on your card. This is a tag I made a while ago and as I haven't had any crafting time for the past 2 weeks I thought I would use it for the challenge. The background has been created by stamping onto the tag with white acrylic paint and then after it is dry inking the tag with Distress Inks (Tim Holtz technique). I have stamped Prom Tilda + coloured her with Distress Inks.
Have a fab Thursday and Bank Holiday weekend. I finish work on Sat morning for 11 nights so hopefully I might get to make a few cards, although hubby and the kids are home as well so a few trips out are planned!!!
