365 Cards 225 & 226

A bit of a catch up for me as yesterday I didn't make one card at all. My mojo went awol.
So I have been a good girl and caught up.
Day 225 - Super Sketchy Sunday and the start of Torendi Week



I thought the sketch hard and my card looks oh! so busy.
Used for this card:-
The scalloped border is by Bazzill
The spotty ribbon by Queen & Co
Snowflake rub-ons are Sew Easy by Doodlebug
The sentiment cut from a magazine as you can tell...lol!!
Card Candy 'Winter Wishes'
Everything else from my stash.



Day 226 - So......... The word SO to appear somewhere on the card
I loved this challenge and had the perfect stamp with 'So'on it
I got this stamp off eBay and use it for Easter cards.
Used for this card:-
Paper - Kay & Co Basic Grey 'Motifica'
Nestabilities Die cut Curved Rectangles
Coffee coloured card - DCWV
White card and satin ribbon from my stash
Versafine Onyx Black for stamping

I apologise for the squashed scan, this card looks quite lovely in real life with the bow in all it's glory.

Joy!!


Definitely a good day, so Joy is the word today.
Some great challenges about and this card which I have been playing with today covers the following:-
365 Cards Day 210 - Try a Technique: Sanding
Chocoholics Friday Forum Challenge - Embossing
Secret Crafter #51 - Animal Antics

Apart from all the dust which made me very itchy I enjoyed this technique, sanding, after all that is what I have my Core'dinations cardstock for.
The one I used today is the Whitewash which has a wash of white over coloured card.
I ran it through my 'Bug' and embossed it with the 'Spots and Dots' folder.
The sketch I used is one of my favourite from Clean & Simple.
The image is a download from Willow Designs, I think, if this is incorrect I will change this. I really wish downloads printed the designer's name onto the sheet, it would help enormously. Pink Petticoat do it and I am thankful.
The other piece of embossed card is from my swapped stash, I really must buy myself the snowflake one I love it.
Joy sticker by Bo-Bunny Press.
Card Candy 'Winter Wishes' were used to embellish.
The base card is a beautiful rich pearly blue Stardream from Joanna Sheen.
The little strip of matte silver card from my bit box.
So there we are another week been and gone, and before we know it, it will be Christmas.
Joy to the world!!

Sunday Lovely Sunday


The first card today is for 365 Cards Day 204 - Super Sketchy Sunday
Here we are again the start of another week.
At first I thought oh! no!! an oval card, but then thought again and opted for an oval shape on a usual A5.
This got rid of lots of bits and bobs in my box, I love that.
I just cut and embossed 2 new ovals in my 'Bug' and the image is a download from Pink Petticoat, which I coloured with Sakura Gel pens.
I added a single piece of card candy for balance.

and the 2nd card is for Crafty Creations #33 - Coffee or Tea
I had one set of these great images & sentiments left that a forum buddy sent me, aren't they great.
I chose Basic Grey papers and some flat backed pearls that looked like coffee beans, well if you half shut your eyes...lol!!

So that's me for today. I have a lot of stamping to do for a stamped image swap for the forum and 3 cards to make from a card kit swap, so busy, busy, busy.

Unfortunatel the whole thing has been spoilt by the awful green ink used for the Birthday Sentiment...didn't look that bad in real life.

Super Sketchy Sunday






365 Cards Day 162

This great sketch starts the ArtGlitter Week....and typing this has reminded me that I meant to put some glitter on it somewhere, but considering that it is for a male I'll forgo it today.
Everything is misc. out of my stash except for the Card Candy which is out of the pack called 'Winter Wishes' and the sentiment stamp which is by Studio G.
Cut the label with my Nestie and drew around the embossed edge with a ProMarker in 'Poppy'

Favourite Things




This card, last for today, covers 2 challenges.
Papertake Weekly Challenge - My Favourite Things
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - given sketch

The sketch by Jane was lovely and made a good base to fill the card with some of my favourite things being :-
Rubber stamps I have too many to think about and have grown to love these Magnolia Tilda, took a while to come to terms with no mouth. The lovely little PSX Pixie stamps which I have all 4 sets of are great little sentiments.
Versafine Black Onyx ink pad.
Basic Grey Papers, these being LilyKate and Urban Prairie
Pearls, gems and card candy love them all
Ribbon - this is a piece of real silk by Anna Griffin
Bazzill Card - you can't get any better in my opinion
Pink & Green - I love this colour combo and even though I keep venturing out into the big wide world of colour I come back to the delicate colours of an apple blossom tree.
So those apart from my cats are among my favourite things.

Ice Cream.......

 
The great theme over at Basic Grey Challenge 35 is Ice Cream and more importantly what your own favourite is.
Well as you can see by the card my all time favourite is chocolate...oh! yum!!! especially Green & Black Organic...I could eat a whole tub in a sitting. lol!!
These Basic Grey papers, being from the Sultry and Boxer 6x6 pads were ideal and did the job for me. But seeing as the weather is so miserable at the moment I am still having my chocolate hot and not iced, so this great image which was sent to me by my forum buddy Sarn says it all. The fabulous sentiment which speaks volumes was from my box of stamped swaps so am unsure of the sender or the make.
Wonderful chocolate drops in the form of Card Candy and a chocolate brown grosgrain ribbon tied it all together....off to make myself a cup now........>>>>>
