Challenge 1 - Day 2

-
The cards for Day two did take me just a little bit longer as I had to finish the card in Day 3 due to spending a little time with my nephew & nieces but I just love how cute these have turned out. I am the sort of person that goes on a stamping crazy and will stamp out a load of images and spend a couple days just colouring and for this, I love my embellishment boxes I would love to say only one box but no I stamp a lot. I currently fussy cut all my images unless I have a die but mostly fussy cut and I am saving hard to get myself a scan n cut although that might just feed my stamping and colouring in addiction!!!!!.

These two cute cards came from using MFTWSC378 (My favourite thing sketch) and using a cute mermaid and elephant stamp

I have never been a Christmas card sender if I am totally honest however this year I think that since I have quite a few Christmas cards that maybe this year it is the time to send them out. For the main item on this card I used the Hero Arts Gingerbread Wishes stamp which I recently got on eBay however if I can find a link for somewhere that has it for sale I will. Using a red card base to add a little colour I used a Christmas plaid paper from Paper Addicts Yuletide Wishes 10cm by 10cm pad and adding some glitter 3m tape on the card on the left I used the green and card on the right I used silver to finish off I used to sentiments from a stamping magazine (at moment I never note these although this will be) and finished it off with Neat & Tangled Classic Christmas Mix to give a little extra pop.  Hero Arts Gingerbread Wishes (Sadly could not find this) Copics & Promarkers 3m Glitter Tape  (From The Works in UK) Paper Addicts Yuletide Wishes  (...

Well, my sister in law and I have started picking up a few things for Christmas I know!! it's only September but hey with 3 kids and 4 adults in the house we need to get started and well the little bits we picked up are mounting up in my bedroom (our current hiding place) and well it needs to get logged (so we don't forget what we have got) and wrapped so sitting at the craft table today doing a little colouring on some Christmas images and having the realisation that I am so lacking in stamps small enough for tags. Although I will be rectifying that very soon. I mean come on who has not seen the new Mama Elephant stamps with the cute snowmen or the elves or the penguins just soo many choices!!!!!!

Challenge 1 - Day 1

So the challenge has started and I sat on the pc for a little bit thinking and decided that I wanted to get some sketches to use for card making. I think card sketches are a great tool to help people learn and I follow Kirstie Marcotte on youtube (her channel is linked below) and she uses sketches for all her paper pad using cards and these help me figure out things on this card. On this card, I used the Freshly Made Sketches 295 originally going with the round design as there were some round elements in the cut out of this paper selection but in the end, I decided to go with some plain circle die cuts and a simple birthday sentiment. I will admit if I was to do this card again I would change a few things I would not have used liquid glue to place the black card down as it has warped the card a little and I think I would have raised the flower up so that it set off from the card. But I don't think it turned out too bad. Items Used to make this Freshly Mad...
