FGM Monoprint

My card today was made for the challenge that I have going with a couple of friends. Each month we challenge ourselves to use our supplies. Recently we had seen several Jennifer McGuire tutorials on distress ink monoprints so our this month we are trying it out.


I sponged the background with the distress oxide inks and clear embossed the ocean borders stamp. Originally I was going with a underwater scene but I thought the waves turned out to look like wind blowing across the sky. 


Using the darker piece I used dies to make a winter scene, and the lighter piece for a fun summer sky.


Supplies:
Honey Bee - ocean borders
Lawn Fawn - Coaster Critters
Cottage cutz - snow drift border die
MFT - stitched round rectangles
Ranger- Tim Holtz distress oxide ink
clear embossing powder


Thanks for looking today ………….

Fall in Love

The Challenge for today on Crazy 4 challenges, is to create a Valentine's day themed card.

Red Feathers

Welcome to this weeks challenge with the CCEE Team. Anne is our hostess this month.

This is the month of Thanksgiving in the United States. My challenge to you is to use a turkey on your card. If you are in another place that does not celebrate, you may use a bird. It wouldn’t hurt if there was a RED feather or two.

I knew that one day I would need a turkey for a card, so I snapped up this Cottage cuts turkey in a clearance sale some time ago.


Thanksgiving isn't for me so I just created a thanks card.


Supplies:
Dies: Cottage cuts - Turkey
Karen Burniston - outdoor scene, Pop it up fence pop stand.
Kaisercraft - thanks pop up
Elizabeth Craft Designs - stitched oval

Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers have created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs.

Tea Cake


Welcome to this weeks challenge with the Crazies from Crazy fro Challenges.


Yesterday was Tea Day … so for our challenge this week let's incorporate something Tea related on our cards …. Not into tea then what about coffee!

What is a cuppa without something sweet to go with it?
This stamp from Stampendous with the tea cup and and cupcake, just looks the treat for this challenge.


The card flat for posting.


On the inside I have used this doily designer paper to showcase this tea set die from cottage cuts.


It is just simply a few scored fold lines to create an easel card. The top of the coffee pot is mounted on foam tape to act as a stop for the easel.

C4C346 Picnic

It is time for another challenge with my friends on  Crazy4Challenges.

July is National Hot Dog Month, probably due to the number of picnics that occur at this time of year.  Let’s have a picnic ‘connection’ on our cards this week.

It doesn't take very long for an unattended picnic basket to attract the local wildlife around here.


My card today is completely made with die cut pieces.
Supplies from
Elizabeth Craft Designs
Stitched rectangle
Dotted scallop rectangle
Cottage Cutz -  Crows,Picnic Basket,Snack Cart.
