Cute Card Thursday Challenge #198


I have not had time to participate in Cute Card Thursday’s challenges for a while and I have been missing out in all of the fun.
http://www.cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/

 The weeks challenge is “Something New”.   I chose to use this new digi stamp from Paper Shelter for my card.  I thought the birds in love were so in keeping of Valentine’s Day coming up.   The stamp I used for the flowers is a retired stamp from a set made by Stampin Up.  I stamped, coloured and cut out the flowers then I wet them and crumbled them.  Once the flowers were dried I affixed them to my card.   Thanks for looking.

Cute Card Thursday Challenge #194


For this challenge I created this cute card has a thank you card for a friend. The little digi stamp is by Spesch Designer Stamps, a company I found when searching for digi stamps online.

I was glad to not be making another Christmas card tonight. I coloured the image with my Copics and layered some of my favourite coloured patterned paper. Bling and a sentiment were added for some sparkle and interest.

Have a creative day.

Cute Card Thursday – Challenge 193 - Its just a number


Santa is coming! Santa is coming! When? December 25th. This cute digi image is by Kenny K. Downloads. I searched my stash and found some interesting papers and got out my Copics, snow writer and glitter pens to create this card. Think I will send it to my grandson, River who will be 3 in January. Christmas will be exciting for him this year.

Well back to my craft room and more Christmas cards.

Cute Card Thursday #191 - May the Music of Christmas Warm Your Heart


My latest creation is for Cute Card Thursday's challenge this week. The challenge was to create a card in gray and green. I chose to use a digi stamp from Pollycraft Digi Stamps, an unmounted Christmas music sheet rubber stamp from my stash, and a sentiment rubber stamp from Stampabilities. I added snow, glitter, bling, and a decorative ribbon to complete my card.

I think the card turned out kind of cute. I love those little mice.

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative 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.

Floral Collage


I started this card tonight for a challenge that I did not get completed in time. The challenge was to use office supplies as embellishments. “Floral Collage” is the name of the stamp by Stamps Happen Inc., which I coloured with my Tombow markers. From my office supplies I used paper clips and staples and then added a sentiment by A Muse Art Stamps and some ribbon to complete the card.

Remember ... “Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. ~Scott Adams”.

Have a creative day.

Cute Card Thursday - Wedding Dance


This week’s Cute Card Thursday’s challenge was a wedding card. I choose a digi stamp from Kenny K collection called “wedding dance”.

I coloured the images with Copics and added radiant pearls on the wedding dress to give it shine. I made the white flowers by punching flowers out of white card stock then wetting the cut outs with water and crunching them. Once the paper was dry I assembled the flowers. I added some white bows and butterflies along with some bling to give the card more of a wedding feeling.


I am back to my craft room for some more card making and maybe some clean up.

Cute Card Thursday - Circus Baby


Clean and simple (CAS) was Cute Card Thursday’s Challenge this week. I choose to use two digis from Whimsie Doodles called “circus baby tent” and “circus baby giraffe”. I think they are the cuties images and would make a great baby card or child’s birthday card. I coloured the images with my Copic markers and tied the colours in with the colourful back ground paper I found in my stash.

Have a creative day.

Card Thursday Challenge



This card was created for Cute Card Thursday Challenge. The challenge this week was to create a card with no pattern paper. I rummaged around in my stash of stamps looking for something to make for this challenge. I found two rubber stamps I have not used in a long time and thought I could make something interesting for the challenge.

Both the background stamp and the baseball stamp are unmounted and the company that made them is unknown. The fantastic stamp is by A Muse Artstamps. I stamped the images with Versafine Majestic blue ink, coloured them with Copics markers and added some red brads to complete the card.
Well I am calling it a night. The messy craft room will have to stay that way until the morning.

Be creative.

Cute Card Thursday - Sketch #175


Tonight’s creation was made for a card sketch challenge put on by Cute Card Thursday. I just came across their blog while searching the internet for something new and different. You can check them out at:

http://www.cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/

The stamps I used for the card by Inkadinkado (the bird) and Magenta (the flowers). My images were coloured with Copics. To add some interest I added some paper beads I made using this week’s tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers. I must have enjoyed making them because I now have a small jar of paper beads in every colour. It is a great way to use up those small scraps of paper. A button and some bling were added to complete the card.

Well I am headed back to my craft room to see if there is another card project for me tonight.

Be creative.
