Four

We have a new challenge over at Crafty Creations for the next two weeks and it is a fun theme.

 

Four – yep that is the theme, your creation has to have 4 of something on it at least once.

 

Our sponsor is SLS Digital and I have used one of their images called Pretty Girl which has been coloured in with Copic Markers.

 

Here is my card:

  

 

 

I have gone with a soft feminie look and I just love this paper by Fabscraps called White Lace C71 004.

 

I have used 4 dies from these collections – SU Ovals, Nestabilties Beaded Oval, Marianne Petra Large Oval and Embosslits Beautiful Wings die.

 

There are also 4 pearls on the flowers in the girls hair.

 

Here is a close up of the image:

Something Different

Hi everyone,

 

We have another week of our Now That’s Cool challenge over at Crafty Creations.

 

So the take on the theme  is to create a card/project which Moves or Opens differently.

 

I have created a Fancy Fold card which is called a Six Folded Card and the tutorial can be found here.

 

The beautiful paper used is from Frabscraps and the cardstock used is Primrose Petal, Sahara Sand, Very  Vanilla.

 

Here is a picture of the card before it is opened:

 

 

The lace is from my stash and just seemed perfect for the banner.

 

Here is another photo with the bank removed:

 

 

I have used both sides of the paper and you will see the other side in the following shots:

 

 

and this is the last shot with the card completing open:

 

 

Lovely and so simple to create, maybe I will give it to my Sister for her Birthday.

Winter

It is so cold here in Sydney very Wintery but without the snow our lovely city does not quite fit the theme of our new challenge at Holly Jolly which is:

Winter Wonderland

We have some fabulous sponsors and I have used one the images from our sponsor Oddball Art.

This cheeky image is surrounded by lots of snowflakes creating her winter scene. 

I have created a fairly CAS card and added some extra snowflakes from the retired SU Frosted Sequins set and added some bling.

Here is my card:

The die used is a Memory Box die called Peaceful Snowflake Frame Set and the sentiment is from the SU stamp set Endless Wishes and has been stamped in Pool Party ink.

Here is a close up of the image:

Cheeky but cute.

Thanks for visiting.

Our new letter for the next two weeks is M and so our new theme is:

 

M for Magnolia

 

So this can be a Magnolia image, paper or even a die, as long as there is something Magnolia on your project we would love to see it.

 

I have used a Magnolia image called Waterlily Tilda and the colours for my card have been inspired by the paper which is also Magnolia Special Moments Royal Swedish Feathers paper.

 

The image has been coloured in with Copic markers and the cardstock used is SU Marina Mist, Sahara Sand and Xpress It Blending cardstock.

 

The flowers are from Kaisercraft Icebergs Paper Blooms and some are from my stash. The stamp is a Kaisercraft stamp called Blue Bay.

 

 

 

 

The lace is from my stash and I think it is lovely.  The dies used are an SU Ovals die, Marianne Petra Large Oval and Nestabilities Beaded Ovals.  The sweet little butterfly has been created using the retired Wings Embosslits die.

 

I love the sentiment so I have captured a close up to share also:
