3 Rainbow Unicorns

I made this for my Granddaughter who turned 3 last month. It is a slimline card and I went stash diving for some designer paper to create the background. I then stamped, coloured and fussy cut out the unicorns images.

Adventure Balloons

Today I am sharing the card that I made for a balloon challenge. I guess I could have gone with party balloons, but I rather like the idea of hot air balloons. It has been some time since I have played with these dies.

I have created a slimline card with a designer paper background. After assembling the balloons, I added them to the front of the card with foam tape.

On the inside I added two panels of designer paper and created a box pop up, for the sentiment.

Thanks for looking,

Take Time to Celebrate

This is the final CCEE challenge for 2022.

In fact, it has come to the time that the CCEE Stampers team to hang up their ink pads and stamps, so this will be our last challenge.

While I have only been on the design team since June 2014, it was a blog that I liked to follow for inspiration since 2009 when I started my own blog. I, in fact did not even know when the original team, started and that it was previously call Cheers & Challenges Eclectic Ensemble.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support of our challenges every week, and I hope you have found some inspiration in our challenges.

Time is counting down to the end of the year, and I so I am asking that your feature clocks on your card. Think of time clocks, stop watches or even a countdown clock anything to do with time.

I created the background using Distress Oxide inks Kitsch Flamingo and broken china, and distress ink wilted violet. sponging it through a stencil. I then used the wood mounted hero arts tag stamp - H4777 Collage Take Time and heat embossed it. I then added the die cut sentiment and numbers.

Colour inspiration

Hi Crafting Friends

My card today is for the Colour Inspiration C4C581 on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog.

Hostess Nicky Foden has decided this last challenge would be an inspiration challenge.

This piece of art has been hanging at work and it’s been calling to me for a while. Use it as inspiration to make a card. Take a minute to zoom in as there are a lot of colours that aren’t as noticeable at first glance.

When I first saw this piece, I looked at it and wrote down the colours that popped into my mind, Black, Yellow, grey, purple, gold and a bit of blue.

I recently did a star gazing evening and thought that I would use some distress oxide ink to create a night sky.

I made this a slimline card with dies so I could create a scene with the stamped images.

Supplies

Distress Oxide inks - several colours blended until I was happy with the look.

Avery Elle stamp set astronauts

Karen Burniston Long rectangles dies

Sisters

Hi Crafting Friends,

This is my card I have made for the Crazy 4 Challenges design team challenge C4C579.

Today is Sibling Day, make a card that shows a sibling how special they are, if you don’t have a sibling make a card for a friend you love like a sibling.

For my card today I have used the Mama Elephant - Slim Film city die set. I went looking for a stamp to fit this theme and found this real rubber unmounted stamp from over 15 years ago. I am sorry that I can't tell you the company as I didn't record companies at that time.

I heat embossed the image of the girls 3 times and heat embossed them. I then used copic pens to colour the image and positioned the die over the image that I wanted. I then used the die to cut the layers and placed the images into the frames and added the gem stones in the corners.

This is the card I made for the CCEE Stampers challenge CCEE2109.

Apparently the 2nd March was Old Stuff Day, for our challenge this week let's combine something older (stamps, dies etc) with something newish.

I used the spellbinders shapeabilities expandable Botanical Swirls die released in 2012 to make the background panel for this card.

I used the Pink Fresh Studio slimline die released in 2019 to cut out a layering panel.

For the floral image and the sentiment I have used stamps from Pink Fresh Studio - Choose Hope released in 2021. I also used the the coordinating stencils and distress oxide inks to colour in the flowers.

Floral Alcohol inks

Hi Crafting Friends,

This is the card I made for the challenge on Crazy 4 Challenge blog.

Challenge - C4C573 Tomorrow (28th February) is Floral Design Day, for our challenge this week create a card that features a flower or flowers.

This is the first time I have tried a mini slimline card and it is kind of cute I will probably make some more. I made a background using the polished stone technique that I had learnt years ago. Using alcohol inks and a blending tool on gloss card.

I heat embossed the stamped images onto the inked background and fussy cut them out. I then used a alcohol ink blending pen to lift some of the ink off the leaves as I wanted to keep the purple theme. I didn't add any other ink, by lifting the ink I gave it differ shade on the leaves.

I folded back the front of the card to give it a different look before added the die cut piece. I finished the card by adding the gem stones and the sentiment strip. I then added a large polish stone piece inside and another flower and continued the sentiment.

Supplies:

Ranger Alcohol inks - Raspberry, Salmon, Pearl Enchanted, Pearl Intrigue, Pearl Villainous, Pearl Mineral, Adirondack Wild Plum.

Spellbinders nestabilities die

Uniquely Creative - Kasia's Doodles Flawed & Fabulous stamp set
