One for the boys

Here's another new Little Claires stamp set from the Harrogate show. Stamped onto Craftwork Cards digital smooth cardstock and coloured with promakers.

Papers are Rob and Bob by provocraft, can't begin to think how long I have had them, buttons are a sizzlits die cut from white card and coloured to match. Sentiment and base card are Craftwork Cards too.

I am entering this card into the Totally Papercrafts Challenge

Thank you for looking and for your very welcome comments

Little Claire

The challenge over on the Little Claire blog is Pink and Green.

I bought the A Place in the Sun set at Harrogate last weekend and have used the bottom half of it for a new home card. The image has been stamped onto Craftwork Cards textured digital cardstock with memento ink and then coloured with Promarkers. I then matted it onto some green pearlescent card.

Decorative papers are from the First Edition Desert Blooms 6x6 stack, the bottom one has been overstamped in Adirondack lettuce with an Aspects of Design fancy flourish stamp. Flowers were punched from vellum and the bling is from the hobby house. Sentiment is made up from doodlebug rub ons.

I made the base card from a sheet of the Textured Digital cardstock as well.

A bit last minute

So about 3.30 on Tuesday he comes up to me and says, I keep forgetting to ask so I'm in trouble with the other half but can you make a card for Jades birthday. Ah, you'll need that for tomorrow then says I,and I couldn't refuse because I had made a card for the other 16 year old in the family, so I put aside the tiredness and got my head around a fairly non girly card at around 9pm and this is the result.

I've used an 8x8 elegant card from Craftwork Cards along with some of their paper. I have stamped onto the base card with some stamps from the same Kanban set that the tree is from in Peacock Brilliance ink. Tied a bit of ribbon round which I had hanging around and added a Little Claire sentiment.

Very purple

Here's a card I made for a birthday a week ago, it was very much to the wire as I had little or no mojo at the time.

The stamp is by Little Claire coloured in with Promarkers, patterned paper is Basic Grey Kioshi and the other paper I picked up at Once Upon a Stamp, I've overstamped it with a stamp from the Aspects of Design Fancy Flourishes set. Matt has been punched with a Martha Stewart punch. Ribbon flowers and brads are all from my collection and the base card is a Craftwork Cards back to basics and the sentiment is Craftwork Cards rescue words.

Thank you for looking

Club challenge for April

It was our club night on Thursday and the challenge for April which we set back in March was to use red and white on your card in honour of St Georges Day and to combine this with one of 5 Mojo Monday sketches which were from November 2009.

Here is my red and white effort.

Main image is a Buzzcraft twisted pyramage, base card, red and white cardstock and circle message are all from Craftwork Cards , happy birthday embossing folder was purchased from Little Claire at the Harrogate GNPE and buttons are from my stash, I think they may be Hero Arts.

I did make a card for each of the other sketches so I'll post those over the next few days
