Red Shoes

Hi there, I am taking a little detour from sharing Christmas cards and showing the card that I made for my daughter's birthday.

My daughter loves her shoes, I am pretty sure she has a red pair and lots of heels, so when I found the stamp set I knew I wanted it for her card.

On the inside I have used the Karen Burniston gift pivot panel, crosshatch rectangles and the Paper Rose Happy Birthday dies.

Thanks for looking...……...

Welcome to this weeks challenge with the CCEE stampers team, this month it is my turn to be hostess.
This card has been around for a lot of years but lately I have noticed some modern twists to it, so give us your version of a shadow box card.

So for my inspiration for this challenge came from a Jennifer McGuire tutorial, which I will link here.
I cut my card to size before assembling I used the  honey bee ocean borders stamp and inked it with versamark ink to give the watermark effect.

The front of my card is fairly simple as all the focus is when you open the card. The front has also been inked to look like water mark, and the oval piece is the piece that I cut out of the inside piece of the card, I just added the black mat and a few more images.

As you open the card, up pops the shadow box.

So the images I have used are from the Australian company Paper Rose, the stamps also have coordinating dies. This type of card can also be used as a base for an inside tunnel card linked here.

Here is a closer look at the inside images.

Bird on a wire fence

Welcome to this week challenge with the Crazies team from Crazy 4 challenges. Our hostess this month is Raquel Mason and her guest designer is Fran Sabad.

Today we are making cards using any technique!  The technique can be something you've never tried before, something you've tried many times, or even a technique that you're inspired to try.

For my card today I have made a background using the Distress Oxide technique. I sponged the colours wild honey, abandoned coral, broken china, peacock feathers, I then spritz it with water to create a lovely soft background. I then used the bird on wire fence die from Paper Rose to create a perfect Australian scene.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.

3d die cut words

Hi there, it is week 2 of Vicky's challenge on CCEE Stampers and for our challenge we are playing around with techniques using Die Cut Words.

My card today is made just using die sets and some distress oxide inks for the background. The 3D word was cut four times in white card and then I added another layer with heat embossing powder.
