FAVOURITE CRITTER?

Morning Everyone,

Today is the start of a new challenge at As You Like It and we are asking you to share a project featuring your favourite critter. 

For domestic animals it's defintely dogs, but of the wild animals I do love pandas.  They are such soft gentle giants and they always look so sad with their big black eye patches.

I have stamped two of them from a Simon Says Stamp set and coloured everything with copics. I fussy cut the balloons, present and one of the hats and added them to the card.  The streamers are from The Greetery        and the sentiment from a MFT set.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

SANTA

Hello Everyone,

I have been making a few cards recently for a charity that sends cards to children in hospital and thought it was a good opportunity to try and use up some snippets.  This is what I have made with snippets of red and white hammered cardstock to add onto cards.

They are made from a Simon Says Stamp die bought pre-loved.  I've coloured the faces with copics and quite enjoyed putting them together whilst watching tv in the kitchen.  These are some of the cards I've made:

I've managed to use papers I wouldn't normally pick and have also used a few images from old Christmas craft magazines, which I was reluctant to throw away.  Not finished with them yet and I still have to finish the insides.

This card used a whole sheet of paper from a doodlebug pad and I'm pleased to have made use of it as I couldn't think of what I would do with it before.  

I am entering this card into:

Simon Says Weds - Christmas

Rudolph Days October - Anything Christmas

and the Santas into the Snippets Playground.

I will see you again on Thursday.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

 Morning Everyone,

A new challenge is starting over at As You Like It and we would like you to showcase a project using your favourite of either ribbon or twine.

I do use both, sometimes twine for more masculine cards, but I much prefer ribbon for the style of card I've made for this challenge.  I have used an old art pad image from LOTV and papers from Pion Design, which have been distressed and my sewing machine has come out to play again .  I must say it's a lot quicker than stitching by hand which is how I used to do it.

A short and sweet post today. You can pop over to the challenge here to see the inspiration from the DT.

PAINTED FLOWERS

 Morning Everyone,

This is a card with a first attempt at using Painted Flowers from Altenew.  I've had them for quite a while bought pre-loved from Ebay, but have only had a practice with them so far so thought it was about time I had a play.

I've stamped them using Altenew's mini ink cubes in shades of orange and Versafine for the black outlines.

The sentiment is from Creative Expressions and mini scalloped die from MFT.  I made a few little dots using a circle die and glossy accents as orange seems to be one of the colours I am short of in my stash!

SQUARE OR NOT?

Good Morning Everyone,

A new challenge starts today over at As You Like It and we are asking you to share a project showcasing your favourite of either square or not card base.

I do prefer square, it always seems easier for layouts and it also gives me the opportunity to use a whole 6x6 sheet without leaving any snippets.  I have way too many snippets and keep them in plastic boxes according to colour.

Today's card is a more masculine one using an image from a Hunkydory pad called Woodland Animals and all the images are useful when your're stuck for a 'man' card.  The papers are also from the pad and the sentiment is heat embossed in white onto kraft.  Twine has been added for a bit more interest as it's a very simple card with no added embellishments.

GUEST DT

Morning Everyone,

I am Guest DT over on the Critter Crazy challenge this month where you can make anything featuring a critter.

I have chosen to use this cute Lee Holland elephant and coloured him with copics.  The sentiment is computer generated and I've printed that in a grey to match the image.  Grass die is from CC designs and the mini scalloped edgers from MFT.  Three pearls and a tiny butterfly finish it off.  

Thank you for looking and I hope you can pop over to the challenge here where you can see inspiration from the DT.
