Hello

Welcome to this week's challenge with the team from Crazy4Challenges.

I'm sure you all know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. My challenge to you is to
create an inspirational card using pink somewhere on your creation!
Bonus points if you send your card to someone needing a hug!

I have been rearranging my craft room and found a container of rubber unmounted stamps, this image is from a company called Rubber Romance, I team it with dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Inside I have left an open theme with just the die cut sentiment hello.

Acetate Window

It is time to join my friends at CCEE Stampers blog for this weeks challenge.

Create a card that includes acetate on/in it in some way.


I wanted to showcase this sentiment in a different way than the usual layering. So today I have made a Acetate window card. I have used several dies to create the window, sandwiching the acetate in between and added the Tattered Lace couple die to the side.

Supplies:

Stamps: Clearly Besotted sentiment

Dies: Elizabeth Craft Designs - Stitched circles, Circles

Tattered Lace - Couple

Kaisercraft designer paper

Sweet Desserts

What a sweet challenge we have today on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog.

Did you know that today is national dessert day?! So you know what that means?....please make a card with any sort of yummy dessert on it!  Ice cream, cake, cookies, tarts, pie, Popsicle...whatever you deem to be dessert!!

For my card today I located a old unmounted rubber stamp from the Alota stamp company. In the past I found it difficult to get a clear image with this stamp but with the misti tool I was able to re-ink and stamp the image several time to get the depth of colour that I wanted.
I coloured the image with copic pens and add glaze pens to add dimension to the sprinkles.

Seeds of friendship

Welcome to today's fun challenge with the CCEE stampers team.

Did you know that today is "Old Farmers Day" - let's show our appreciation to our farmers by creating something farm related today.

An hours drive from home is the farming district where they grow fields of sunflowers, so that is the inspiration for today's card.
I recently purchased a magazine with a free stamp set that contained these sunflowers and the sentiments that I have used for my card. They worked so well with the Art Impressions His and Hers gardeners set. I have used the Cherry Lynn step die for the base of my card.

I decorated the inside of this card, to showcase the lovely sentiment and added the picket fence and another sunflower.

Birthday Balloons

Welcome to this weeks challenge with the CCEE Stampers challenge.

Apparently today is “Balloons Around the World Day”. So this week let’s add some balloons to our card.

For my card I have used My Favorite things dies blueprints 26. I very rarely make a card with just die cuts and with out any stamping. I then used some more parts of the set to create the inside of the card.
