Sketch Frenzy Friday -SFF102111

I love the sketches from Sketch Frenzy Friday. They keep your imagination going. I decided to make another Christmas card with their sketch. The snowman stamp I used was from my friend Lisa's collection of rubber stamps, Local Rubber King.

I punched snowfakes with my Martha Stewart punch and added some glitter and bling. Another of the many Christmas cards I have to make this year.

Have a creative day.

Christmas Easel Card

I have an upcoming card exchange with my yahoo group the Rubber Inkers. The theme for the card of the week swap is Christmas and I chose to make a round easel card for the exchange. My Santa stamp seemed to be the perfect stamp for this design. I added some colour, glitter, bling, ribbon and flourishes to complete my design.

Thank you for stopping by.

Anything Goes Challenge PTT#39

This card was created for Party time Tuesday’s challenge called Anything Goes. Kenny K ‘s Downloads is their sponsor this week and I chose to use one of his Santa digi images for this card. I also used a couple of different Spellbinder cutters for the frame and a Memory Box Co. for the fancy tree. Some ribbon, cord and bling completed the card.

Come and Get it Challenge - Cracked Glass

The Come and Get It's challenge this week was to create a card with using the cracked glass technique. I decided to make an antique looking Christmas card for this challenge. I have had the stamps that I used for this card for a very long time. The Candle stamp is by Embossing Art Co. and the Joy sentiment is by Hot Fudge Studios. I like the aging effect of the cracked glass technique.

Be creative and have a good day.

Cute Card Thursday's Challenge 187 - Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word!

Cute Card Thursday’s theme this week is “I’m Sorry”. I used a digi stamp from a new company I just discovered called Meljen’s Designs to create my card.

http://shop.meljensdesigns.com/

I just love this digi stamp called Frog Prince. I coloured him with my Copic and Martha Steward metallic markers. I made his eyes bug out by adding a thick coat of Diamond Glaze to his eyes. To complete the card I used a sentiment stamp by Stamping Up, bling, ribbon, button and a flower made with the my new Tim Holt’s Tattered Flowers die cutter. I love the way he turned out, very colourful.

Have a creative day.

Painted Horse

One of my favourite Yahoo groups, Inky Fun Stampers had a swap this month with the theme of horses. In my stash I found this painted horse unmounted stamp with a southwest blanket and some pattern paper that had what I think of as a southwest colour scheme. Hope my partner likes the card.

Happy stamping everyone.

Party Time Tuesday Challenges PTT#38

Show us your “Spooky” and/or use their sketch was the theme for this week’s Party Time Tuesday’s challenge. I used their sketch and choose to use one of their sponsors, Whimsie Doodles’ digi image called “Pushing Daisies” for my spooky theme. I also used the “Spooky” digi sentiment by Meljens designs, an unmounted spider web stamp, layers of paper and bling to complete the card.

This was a fun card to make tonight but I think this will probably be my last Halloween card. I am all Halloweened out and there is still 10 days to Halloween.

Colourful Thank You Cards

Two of the cards are using Pollycrafts retro digi stamps and the rose card was created with an unmounted rubber stamp that I also had in my stash.

Well back to my craft room to see what else I come up with tonight. Have a creative day.
