5th and last Christmas card for today.

Well, here is the 5th card I made today for Christmas 2010. Hope you like this one. The 3D decoupage image was found here. Hope you like it. It's again a really quick card. Wanted to have a bit of a catch up today as I had promised myself to do about 5 Christmas cards every week. I still have 23 left from last year, which means I already have 28 cards done for this year. Still quite a few left to do before December as I need around 200.

Here is the card:

First Christmas card of 2010. Promised myself to start earlier this year.

Good afternoon everyone,

I have just been playing a bit again and made a total of 5 Christmas cards, quickies really, the first ones of 2010.

Here is my first one. A blue basecard with 2 punched shapes (scalloped rectangle and circle nestibilities) and a 3D decoupage image mounted onto one of them. A cute cat sleeping under a lamp. I found this cute image at Monica's 3D sheets. Here are a few views of the card, with a close up of the 3D image at the end.

Hope you like the card, it is very simple, but the image is really cute.

First Parchment card, Simon Says Stamp Challenge and DT call.

Hello everyone, hope you are enjoying your Saturday.

I have managed to make a card for the Simon Says Stamp Challenge for this week, which is also part of a challenge/learn a new craft at Trimcraft. This week at Simon Says Stamp, it is 'Punch It', I have used an embossing corner punch for the corners of this card. At Trimcraft one of my fellow members is trying to teach us how to do parchment craft and this is my first attempt at it. Not bad for a first time I think. Not as difficult as I thought it would be and real fun as well. I am also entering it in the 'Punch It' challenge at Creative Card Crew.

I followed a free pattern and instructions, which are available here.

Hope you like it, it is certainly something I am going to try again.

The first image gives you a full image of the card, the second a detail of the corner of the parcment with a detail of the punched and embossed area.

Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated.

Love,

Jo.

Simon Says Stamp Challenge and DT Call

Hello everyone,

I have just made a card for the Shabby Chic Challenge at Simon Says Stamp. I am also putting it in for their DT call. It's for one of my friends, who has her birthday at the end of the month. Hope she will like it as well.


As you may be aware, I am a DT member on CRAFT Challenge, a job I really love and actively try to take part in. I also tend to 'advertise' the challenges on the Trimcraft forum. At CRAFT Challenge we are always happy to get more sponsors on board. So if you are interested don't hesitate to let us know on our blog.
For this card I have used papers from Summertime Designs and Shabby Princess. The stamps are from Sarah Kay. Hope you like it.

Well, I think I have shown you enough views and details of this card, hope you like it.

I am also entering this card for ABC Challenge, layering.

Also at Allsorts Challenge, Brown and Pink.

All comments very welcome and much appreciated.

Sympathy card.

Hello everyone,

Here is something that I hope you don't have to make often. In this case we heard a week ago that my mum in laws brother had been shot (and killed) while working in Nigeria. So, it was time to let my in-laws know we were thinking of them.

I had not yet had a chance to upload this card, but noticing that Simon Says has 'Thinking of You' as the subject, seems like an ideal time to upload it now.




Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated.

Thank you card for challenges.

Hello again!

Third entry on my blog today already and one of the cards I made today with a few things in mind. No. 1, the kids will soon be needing some thank you cards for their teachers.

There were also some challenges I was hoping to enter into.

Here is the card, using a sketch from Sketch Saturday, Roses for the ABC Challenge, Thank you with some free Funky Fairies papers for their challenge, triangles for the challenge at Allsorts, it also fits with the colours this week at Colour Create and with the Simon says challenge and with Paperblooms as well. Also with the Creative Card Crew challenge (geometric patterns). It could even fit the pink elephannt inspirational play along. And as it is 'up to you' at Lots to do it also fits there. I wonder if that is a record. It is for me I guess.

Well here is the card:

I am going to enter this card into these challenges:

1. Creative Card Crew

2. Funky Fairies

3. Paperblooms

4. Simon says Stamp

5. Colour Create
