CRAFT Challenge 151, Wedding/Anniversary

Morning all,

Time for challenge 150 already at CRAFT Challenge. This time our challenge is 'Wedding/Anniversary' and this subject has become rather appropriate as my mum announced last week that she will be getting married later this year.. We have got several sponsors again this week and I have used images/papers from all as well as from myself. Hope you like the cards.

(using Kitty Cat Love from Meljen's Designs, the papers are my own using the colours used in the stamp)

(using Some Bunny Loves You from Wags n Whiskers)

In case you wonder how I have done these, I have coloured the stamps, then scanned them and printed them on the papers (png).

Hope you like them, I certainly enjoyed doing them.

Love,

Jo.

Morning all,

This week at CRAFT Challenge our challenge this week is Wedding/Love.

Our sponsor this week is Digi Doodle Shop and you can win a $10 voucher for their shop this week.

For this week's project I have made a Wedding card for the daughter of our colleague. I have used a few stamps by Digi Doodle Shop and put them together to form the picture on the front of the card. The papers are from my new Wedding3 set, created especially for this occasion. Hope you like it. I have put some glitter on the dress to make it look a little more special. I have also decorated the inside of the card.

And here is a freebie from this paperset if you like. You can find another one on my digistamp blog.

Here are previews of the stamps I have used.

I'm sure you will be able to recognise them, they are great fun to use.

Thank you for looking. All comments very welcome and much appreciated. Have a good weekend!

Love,

Jo.

CRAFT Challenge 30, free for all.

Hi everyone,

Just having an extremely busy time at the moment. Just realised in the weekend I will need another 20 cards for our karate class on Friday, so 'had' to design a digistamp to suit the purpose. Only done one of them so far. Also, my eldest just happened to mention that rather than the 10 anticipated cards for his friends, he wants a card for all his class mates and his form tutor. Great, thought I had nearly finished. Been working on that on Monday a bit.

Wednesday morning (before work, oops) quickly made a card for one of the girls at work who is getting married over Christmas, that card will be for this challenge at CRAFT Challenge, the karate one is also quite nice I think. Our sponsor this week is our very own DT member Magda, who is offering some of her lovely digistamps. Definitely worth taking part I think.

Below is a card I made for one of the girls at work. A few different views of it.




























And here is my Karate Christmas card. 'Sparring around the Christmas Tree' instead of rocking around the Christmas Tree.






And here is the digistamp I designed and used for it. Feel free to use it if you find it useful, but please don't claim it as your own and leave the signature on the stamp.





Hope you are all well, have a good rest of the week and weekend.

Love,

Jo.

A wedding card

Hello again everyone,

Over the weekend I have been working on a wedding card for a cousin of my husband, who is getting married in the near future. Unfortunately we won't be able to attend as we will both be at work and our daughter will also be doing her SATs at the time.

So, the next best thing was to make her a wedding card. I hope she will like it, but then, who doesn't like cute?

Here are some pictures of the card. It is a bit of a popup kind of card. (with decorated envelope)



Just a quick view of the front of the card.



For this card I used several free images from photobucket, I edited the backing papers for my own need, having the wedding couple small sized on the outside of the card and slightly bigger on the inside of the card. This card is a relatively simple one.

The outside of the card can be seen below. I put a large version of the couple on a heart shape on the middle of the inside backing paper and cut this out, it was then stuck to the back of the card for the added bit of detail paid to the card.



For the card I used 2 A4 sized pieces of card, the outside card folded in the middle and the inside of the card 1cm each side of the middle of the card.

The outside of the card was covered with the backing paper, then a decoupage image of a bride and groom was stuck onto some gold card with foam pads and this was again put onto the front of the card with some foam pads. On the backing paper I also put the sentiment as it is quite difficult to get Dutch sentiments in the UK easily.

I put the names of the bride and groom on the front of the card each side of the decoupaged image with peel off gold letters.

The inside of the outside card was covered with the same backing paper used for the inside card (with the exception of the sentiment inside)to show the image behind the heart shape.

The inside card was then covered with the backing paper, the heart cut out and the inside card again folded (valley folds this time) 2cm to the outside of the earlier 2 folds. It was then stuck onto the outside card with double sided sticky tape up to the valley folds.

Another little decoupage couple was assembled and stuck on the middle of the inside card, partially covering the lower end of the heart.

You can see some pictures of the inside below.





And here is a close up of the decoupage image on the front of the card.



And here are the backgrounds I have edited and used for the card.

The one for the inside of the card



and the two for inside and outside.




Hope you like the card, comments are welcome and appreciated, thank you for looking.

Love,

Jo.
