Christmas Lantern

                                                                   Hi Crafting Friends

It is time for the last challenge of the month with the team on Crazy4Challenges.

 Let’s add some texture with a dimensional liquid or paste element on your card. Some examples are texture, crackle, molding or embossing paste, glass bead gel, Liquid Pearls, Nuvo Mousse, Nuvo drops, Crystal Glaze or Glossy Accents (used dimensionally rather than as a glue). 

I created the back ground using the brick stencil and sponging on various inks, while the stencil was in place I added transparent matte texture paste in certain places for a distressed wall.

While it was drying I assembled the die cut elements. Once the background was dry I added the die cut elements to make a scene.

Supplies

Lawn Fawn Stencil - Brick

Distress Oxide inks - dried marigold, brushed corduroy, festive berries

Ranger - transparent matte texture paste

Karen Burniston - 1171 Street Lantern Pop-up, 1165 Tiny Gnomes, 1178 Long Nature Edges

Elizabeth Craft Designs - sentiment ( retired)

Winter blizzard

This is my card for the CCEE Stampers blog challenge - CCEE2143.

Create a Scene! For our challenge this week create a card that features a scene of some type… outside or inside.

I have used the Hero Arts 6 x 6 background stamp for my scene. I rather thought that just stamping the scene was way to easy for this challenge so I created a shaker card with an acetate front and glitter for the snowy winter scene.

Parisian Dreams

Welcome to another challenge week with crazies team on Crazy4Challenges.

This week use vellum or acetate on your card 

I have adhered a serviette onto white card stock to create the background. I then cut a piece of acetate to size, I then stamped the Stampendous image with stazon ink. Once it dried I attached it over the serviette with brads before adding it to the base card.

A little bunny turns one

Today I have made this card for the challenge on CCEE Stampers blog.

 Include a number or numbers on your creations this week. You can make an aged birthday card; number themed designer paper, number themed embossing folders or dies. Anything goes as long as there is a number somewhere!

I had a request for a 1st birthday card, it had to themed pink with a bunny. I found this DCWV designer paper stack in my stash.

I then made the scene inside using the Karen Burniston dies, for the layout I basically just followed the one on the packet.

 I then added the Happy Birthday sentiment die cut.

One the front of the card I just used some of the elements that I used inside.

Here is a closer look at the inside pop up up.

Supplies:

Karen Burniston dies - 1079 - oval frames pop up, 1031 - numbers, 1074 - spring animals, 1006 - Nature edges, 1030 - Happy Birthday

Magic Garden

This week on CCEE Stampers blog our challenge is to create a mini slimline card.

Just like Slimline Cards, Mini Slimline Cards are also becoming very popular, for our challenge this week create a Mini Slimline card. Typically Mini Slim Line Cards are either 3 1/2 inches x 6 inches or 3 inches x 6 inches. 

I started my card with the background making it with distress oxide inks. Using Twisted Citron, Rustic Wilderness and Squeezed Lemonade ink on the glass mat, I blended the inks and heat set them. I then used the Lavinia stencil Laurel and added lightly the chipped sapphire ink. I then added Mooch the cat with heat embossing. and added the Fairy Lantern and fairy. I then added the orchard grass along the edges and sponged chipped sapphire to the edges.

White Gold and Ivory Presents

 Today's card is made for the challenge on crazy4challenges blog.

Create a project using only white, ivory and gold. Sounds intimidating? Use different textures and finishes of paper to make your layers stand out. I like to use glitter and metallic papers with texture from stenciling with pastes and embossing folders. 

I had this pack of designer paper with gold foil spots in my stash. It looks rather busy but I don't mind I added the gold Happy Birthday with a white shadow and presents to the front.

On the inside I created the pop - up presents using the gift pivot panel die set from Karen Burniston.

Music inspiration

It is time to join the team on Crazy4Challenge for their challenge C4C604.

Be inspired by your favourite song to create your project. Please be sure to list the song with your entry. You can be inspired by the title, the lyrics, the overall theme or genre of the song. 

My chosen song is Cover me in Sunshine by Pink and Willow. It is such a lovely song and they seem to have so much fun making the film clip. 

I created my card with the Lavinia stamps Fairy having music fun in the sunshine.

Lavina Stamps - Night Watch, Stencil - Flourish

Distress Oxide - squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, rustic wilderness
