Brother celebrate 60

We recently celebrated my Brother in Law's 60th birthday. He is a bit of a car enthusiast so I made this masculine slimline card for him.

I chose masculine papers from Kaisercraft and added some stamped gear images. I then added the die cut sentiment and number.

Go for a ride

Today is the week 4 challenge on the Crazy4Challenges blog.

 Last Monday was Go For A Ride Day. For our challenge this week, create a card that features something you might ride on … car, bus, bike, truck, horse etc.

The main focal stamp is a old rubber wood mounted die from long ago. It matches perfectly with the designer paper background. I added the several layers of the die cut sentiment.

Thankful leaves

This month on CCEE Stampers part of the design team are celebrating Thanksgiving, so we are making Thankful cards.

I found the designer paper in my stash along with a magazine that I have had for awhile. Inside the magazine was a free embossing folder and leaf dies. Using the colours in the designer paper for inspiration I created the inlay die cut leaves. And added the Lawn Fawn sentiment.

Supplies:

Hearts

 Hi Crafting friends,

I recently created this card for a heart challenge.

I have used Lawn Fawn Heart dies, just as tags on the front.

On the inside I have used some background pieces cut from designer paper and Karen Burniston Heart Pivot Panels, for a quick and easy way to add some interest to the card.

Christmas Sketch

It is challenge time on Crazy4Challenges.

It's the third Saturday of the month, which means time for a sketch challenge. This time around we have another Slimline sketch for you to use.

I have used the Tim Holtz Poinsettia Layering Stencil and distress inks for the background. I pulled the Spellbinders poinsettia die that I have had for many years. The sentiments are from Law Fawn Holiday Sentiments Reveal Wheel stamp set, that I have white heat embossed.

Home sweet home

It is challenge time with the crazies on the Crazy4challenges blog. This month we have been challenged by Frances.

Create a card that features a house/house or any element you might find on a house … door, window, roof etc.

Manatee Awareness Month

                                                                 Hi Crafting Friends

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

                                                Celebrate Manatee Awareness Month

I had this background die for some time, thinking one day I would use it for a shaker card. Things didn't go to plan and I ran out of time, so I have just used several layers to add dimension on the background and glued in some pearls beads, before adding the sentiment and attaching the Manatee.

Hero Arts - Manatee Stamp & Cut

MFT - background die (retired)
