CAS Christmas

This is just the first of quite a few Christmas cards using my new Elzybells stamps.  This card is for CAS-tastic challenge I cased Maylee.  I used some My Mind's Eye paper which I cut with my nesties and I coloured Mary & Joseph with my copics.

Shiny

I'm so pleased this photographed properly, can you see the shininess of the circle?  I've no idea where I saw this but I loved the idea of embossing acetate, and I love the way it looks.  I added a Bugaboo stamp and a bit of gingham paper.  I cut the scalloped frame with my nesties and coloured that gorgeous little guy with my copics.

This card is for these challenges:

Pink Elephant - Something Yummy
Die Cut Dreams - Gingham
Little Paper Shop - Chocolate, bright blue and bright pink
Papertake Weekly - White & Bright
Simon Says Stamp - Song; Just one cornetto, give it to me

***EXCITING NEWS***

I've been chosen to be a Guest Designer for Crafty Sentiments !!!! Isn't that so cool!  I'm so excited!! So you'll have to keep an eye out for my first ever GD post. Can you tell I'm excited? 


Have you seen their stamps?  They are gorgeous, why don't you pop on over and take a peek.  They also do  some digistamps as well which are good value for money.

A host of cards

Hi all, I thought I'd show off some cards that have, for one reason or another, been posted elsewhere.  I'm finally back to crafting (I've been away helping my Mum pack - she was moving but the minute I got home she phoned to say the sale had fallen through, some people really don't consider what they put other people through when they 'change their minds'! - Sorry, rant over)  I'm sure I'll be doing quite a few posts soon - I arrived home to a box of new Elzybells stamps (Unfortunately she is closing down but therefore has an amazing 50% sale of stamps and some of her card/buttons/ink is on sale too).  I'll also be back with some exciting news soon.

This first one uses a Bugaboo digistamp (pop on over, she has a friday freebie!) and was uploaded to the The Special 50/50 stamping group (You pay an annual fee that then allows you to download as many of the digistamps you want - these are created by resident crafters, you then use that image to enter the challenge)

This next one was uploaded over at Two Peas as part of Kristina Werners Year in Cards challenge - using repetition.

These are ones I uploaded at Splitcoast Stampers for their Christmas card Challenge

K Werner CASE

This is a card that I made after seeing a post by Kristina Werner but can I find the post, no! I've just spent 20mins searching for it!  Anyway, this uses my Hero arts polka dots background Cling stamp (yes, another one! And yes, I suspect this background will keep coming up!) I masked the area and stamped the letters using a papermania alphabet set and cut the Smirk paper using a scalloped border punch.

This card is for this challenge:

Smirk Spots

I'm really getting into this masking technique, of course it helps that I recently bought a background stamp that I want to use as creatively as possible!  This is a square card that I masked the inside square (with a post it note) then stamped the hero arts polka dots background stamp using angel pink memento ink.  I then stamped this Smirk image and coloured with copics.  The sentiment is a Papermania one.
