Vegetable gardener

 

   I was asked to make a card for a vegetable gardener and to include lots of carrots and I couldn't resist the rabbits! I hope this fits the bill. I printed off items using La Pashe's 'The Big One' CD ROM.

The wrinkles jaws!

   Crafty Cardmakers has their first challenge after the summer break beginning today. The theme is under the sea or at the beach.
   I have used a paper from La Pashe Ltd's  set of  The Wrinkles at the Movies. I decoupaged the image and attached it to the centre of white card. I then cut a circle in the centre of a square of coloured card and attached acetate cut from some packaging to the back of it. Using a slightly darker tone of card I cut a ring to fit round the aperture to make a 'porthole'. I then added some card candi to this ring. Finally I added the sentiment.

Birthday

   Creative Corner begins a new challenge today the theme of which is Happy Birthday. I have made a quick decoupaged card using a sheet from La Pashe's 'The Wrinklies at the movies' set. This one has the title Dirty Harry. Their images always make me smile. I matted the design onto white card and outlined it with thin red peel off.

Humming bird

   The theme for our challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and More this week is make it sparkle.
   I edged a card blank with Stickles and then loose glitter before attaching a decoupaged image from La Pashe's Nice and Easel set. I then added some loose glitter to the humming birds plumage.

Religious happy birthday

   I was asked to make a religious birthday card for someone who loves his flowers and garden. I used a digi image from La Pashe's CD ROM  'The best of just inklined' and coloured it using Spectrum Noir pens. I then matted it onto dark brown mirri card. The background paper was printed from a House Mouse CD ROM from Joanna Sheen. I thought the lilies on the paper were similar to the lilies in the digi stamp. I used peel off letters to create the sentiment and also matted this onto the brown mirri card.

Drinking footballer

   The last post for 2014! My nephew celebrates his his birthday at the start of the New Year. He is a keen follower of football and will reach the age when he can legally order a pint so I thought this image would just suit the bill. It is one of the Flippin' stamps from La Pashe and I coloured it using Promarkers. It was cut out using a Spellbinders long classic rectangle die and whilst still in the die I coloured the edges using distress ink. I then matted it onto mirri card cut out using a Spellbinders long classic scalloped rectangle die. The background of the card is core'dinations cardstock matted onto white card.
   The strip at the bottom of the card is from the same set of stamps and again coloured using Promarkers. I matted it onto core'dinations cardstock before attaching to the card. The sentiment was cut from core'dinations cardstock using Tattered Lace dies.

Easter chicks

   As a change I decided to make a shaped card.and so printed this digi stamp from La Pashe as a large image. I coloured it using Promarkers and distress ink, cut it out and attached it to folded white card. This was then cut to form a simple shaped card which contained a shaped insert bearing the greeting 'Happy Easter'.

Easter cross

   This is another digi stamp from La Pashe taken from their CD ROM 'The next big thing'. I coloured it using Promarkers , dusted it with distress ink and matted it onto gold mirri card and white card. The sentiment from the same sheet was also dusted with distress ink and matted onto gold mirri card. The flowers, from Wild Orchid were coloured using Promarkers before attaching them to the card.

Easter bunny

   I was experimenting with a computer graphics program and this bright yellow paper was one of the results. I think it is cheerful and springlike, so decided to use it as the background for this twisted easel card. The black peel offs around the edge I feel really bring the colour to life.
   The main image is a digi stamp from La Pashe and I coloured is using Promarkers and distress ink. It was then matted onto mirri card before fixing it the the card. The happy Easter is die cut from mirri card using tattered lace dies.

Water, water, everywhere

   Here is a very watery card! Paper printed from La Pashe's 'Something for Everyone' CD ROM was matted onto blue core'dinations cardstock and then onto the white card.
   Pale aqua core'dinations card stock was embossed using the 'waterfall' folder by Corture Creations, sanded, glittered and matted onto the blue core'dinations cardstock and then attached to the card. Three card candi were fixed at the bottom of the strip.
   The Mulberry Wood image ' Gone fishing' is by Crafter's Companion, one of my favourite brands. It was coloured using Promarkers and then distress ink was used to add further colour. I then matted it onto blue mirri card before attaching it to the card with glue gel (the best thing I have found that will stick to glitter).

   I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
   Send a Smile 4 Kids - anything goes 4 kids

The winners

  I have used La Pashe's CD ROM 'Something for everyone'  to make this card. The backing paper has been layered onto red card and this card was also used to back the sentiments (which were first outlined in black) and the decoupaged topper (which was first backed onto black mirri card).
  I would like to enter this into the CD Sunday challenge.

Story Time

  This is a birthday card for a teacher.
  The decoupage topper and backing paper were printed from La Pashe's  'Something For Everyone' CD ROM. The backing paper was fixed to cream card and then gold peel offs were used to edge it. The decoupaged topper was mounted onto gold mirri card, as were the two sentiments and the pictures of books cut from magazines. The latter were attached at increasing height on the RHS of the card.
 
  I would like to enter this into the Incy Wincy Designs Challenge called read all about it.

Summer ride

  In making this card I have taken a break from stamping. The decoupaged image and background paper were printed from La Pashe's CD ROM 'Something for Everyone.
  I embossed, using a Darice nature folder from Crafter's Companion, a strip of core'dinations card stock and then sanded it. Having attached this strip to the backing paper I wrapped ribbon around it and fixed the whole to the base card. The main image is mounted onto matt gold mirri card and then fixed at an angle to the card. Flowers and leaves were punched from core'dinations card stock and glue gel used to attach them to the card. Mini gems were then clued to the centre of each flower. Finally a 'Birthday Wishes' sentiment was added.

I wish to enter this into the Allsorts challenge called transport.
