Vintage Cards

The new challenge on My Time To Craft is Vintage Cards.  In my haste to get my DT work completed I misread our instructions and made an ATC - which technically is a card as it is an Artists Trading Card!!  I wanted to use old stash up, so used K & Co paper for the background with a little stamping and inking round the edges, and a HOTP image, Tim Holtz doodads, sticky lace, Primas and adhesive pearls - all things I have had for a while!

CYDA - Challenge#9 - Texture

The new challenge for this fortnight on Craft Your Days Away is Texture.  This challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp and you could be in with a chance of winning a $10 spend with free p&p if you take part.

I have used stamps by Unity, called A Mother's Love, available here for my DT card.   I stamped the butterfly and embossed it, colouring in with Promarkers.  The bp is by My Mind's Eye and I co-ordinated the Primas and Card Candy to embellish with texture, and finally added a foam bird!

I am also entering this card for the Top Tip Tuesday challenge - Layer Upon Layer. 

D for Doodling

The new challenge on the Alphabet Challenge Blog is D for Doodling.  I made my DT card using stamps from the Fall for You kit by Unity, available here.  I embossed a mat with a Cuttlebug folder and cut one with a Nestabilities die, edging it with doodling.  The image is coloured in with Promarkers, and the bp is DCWV that I have had for years!

V is for Vintage

We are nearing the end of our third time through the alphabet on Alphabet Challenge Blog.  This week the theme is V for Vintage.   For my DT card I stamped a script stamp for the background and coloured in a rose image to put over the top.  The background paper is mulberry paper torn round the edges and added to gold card.  I stamped the word Love and added various embellishments to finish.

For my DT card I used a sweet set of stamps from My Cute Stamp, available here, called Tea Party.  I stamped several of the images and coloured them with Copics, and added SU Diamond Dust for some sparkle.  The bp is by Daisy and Dandelion, and I kept the embellishments fairly simple with Primas and Card Candy.

Q for Quotes

The new challenge on the Alphabet Challenge Blog is Q for Quotes, and for my DT work I made a card using stamps from the Unity Fall For You kit available from Make The Day Special.  I used My Mind's Eye papers, a chipboard butterfly inked with chalk ink and some Primas and Card Candy.

O is for Ovals

We are up to O this week on the Alphabet Challenge Blog, and the theme is Ovals.  I used one of my favourite House Mouse stamps for my DT card, and cut mats with my Nesties.  BPs are unknown from my stash and I finished with some Primas and Card Candy to embellish.

Drink it Up

This week on My Time To Craft there is an either/or challenge - Drink It Up and/or Let's Eat Cake (due to a malfunction with scheduled posting last week!).  I have made my DT card using the lovely stamps from My Cute Stamp (available from here) called Tea Party, coloured in with Copics and matted onto DCWV and Joanna Sheen bps.

Summer Card Kit

Which Crafts? have some fab new kits in the shop, and I have made these cards using the lovely Summer Card Kit, which has My Mind's Eye papers and fab blooms included as well as colourful cards and envelopes.  Stamps used are Sugar Nellies for the first 2, a Dawn Bibby stamp for the third and a Unity stamp for the 4th.

Flower Power

The new theme on Magical Crafts Fortnightly Challenge is Flower Power.  This fortnight the challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp and you can win $10 to spend in the store, so pop over to the blog to join in!
For my DT card I used a poppy foam stamp from QVC and watercoloured it in with Marvy Le Plumes and added black Stickles to the centres.  I embellished with punched flowers and leaves and Primas and little jewels.  Sorry it is so big but if I make it smaller it is blurred for some reason!

Moments in Bloom

Here is another little 4" x 4" card, I love this size, using a stamp from the May Unity kit - Moments in Bloom, available from Emily at Make The Day Special. 
I stamped the fern image using green Memento ink, and used Antique Linen DI for the background and edges of the card.  The paper is by My Mind's Eye and I love these, must get some more!  The little greeting is by Kanban and seemed perfect for the style of image.

Very Green!

This card, which is very green! is made using stamps from the Celebrate Today set by My Cute Stamp, available from Emily at Make The Day Special.   I wanted to use my white Stazon, so stamped some of the flourishy stamp over the green background, and stamped 3 of the seed head stamp and coloured them in with Copics.

Unity Friends with Flair Blog Hop

My card today for the FWF Blog Hop, is made using stamps from the Unity Fall for You Spring 2010 Kit available from Emily at Make The Day Special.  I used K & Co Urban Rhapsody BP and stamped onto a mat cut with Nesties, the birds are coloured in with Copics and I used Antique Linen DI to ink the mat.

Unity Friends with Flair Blog Hop

My card today is for the Unity FWF Blog Hop and also my DT entry for the Alphabet Challenge Blog, which this week is E for Eyelets.  I used DCWV BP for my card, and stamped a sentiment from the lovely Unity kit for May, Moments in Bloom, available from Emily at Make The Day Special.   I kept it quite simple and just added some blooms, brads and eyelets and finally some ribbon to finish the card.

Under the Weather

The new challenge on My Time To Craft this week is Under the Weather.  For my DT card I used a Penny Black image which I coloured in with Copics and used some silver glitter card for the backing.   I cut a flourish with my Slice and added Primas and Stickles to embellish.
