Red, White and Blue at Sparkles

Hello, thanks for your visit, please stay safe.

Today we have a new challenge at Sparkles Monthly Challenges -

#130 Red, White and Blue.

Please check out the designs by the design team and for

the few rules over on the challenge blog.

I have had a sheet of London papers for years, from Kanban, 

just sitting there for the right moment, the right card.

I think this is the time to use it. 

 Navy and red card double mount for the Kanban London

page. A die cut to say Hello and London die cut letters 

to complete the card. Embellishment being a Union Jack flag. 

Enjoy your crafting. 

Christmas in July

Hello, thanks for your vist. Today at 

My Time To Craft we have a new challenge for you.

Christmas in July,  just to get you started or to 

think, if you are going to have a theme this year.

We would love for you to visit the blog, see the 

creations by the wonderful design team.

I don't normally make die cut cards, for I am

really a stamper. Well, I felt it was time I did 

have a go, and here is the result.

The dies and Embossing Folder were with a 

Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine. Issue 197

Hope you have a go, I look forward to you 

entering the challenge. 

G is for Glitter and Gems

Hello, thanks for your visit, I hope all is well for you.

Today there is a new challenge at Alphabet Challenges

G is for Glitter and Gems

The blog has the details and of course the wonderful 

inspiration by the design team.

I love the fashions of the Roaring 20's which is perfect

to add glitter and gems.

For my card I used the following;-

Silver mirri card - black card - Kanban patterned paper.

Bright silver metallic paper is wrapping paper.

The image is from a calendar, gems and glitter added.

Razzle Dazzle sentiment  die is by Kanban - Roaring 20's.

Have fun and stay safe. 

Use Dies as Main Feature

Hello, I hope you and yours are safe and well. 

If you keep crafting, I am finding it helps to keep 

your mind on creating rather than the virus.

Mind you I have no idea, yet, what I will do with all

the cards I am making. Who cares!?

Today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz

Dawn has chosen # 243 Use Dies as Main Feature

Now I will be honest from the off set, I am a stamper,

it's impossible for me to count how many I have. 

The only dies I mainly have are shapes and words, 

which is how I created my card. 

Black card for a rectangle and a circle die.

Papers from Making Cards & Papercraft Magazine.

'Hello' die from my stash. 

Grunge or Glitz

Hello, thanks for your visit. Today at 

Alphabet Challenges our new challenge is

G is for Grunge or Glitz. 

Please take a look at the blog to check for details and

to see the designs by the design team. 

I made a 7" sq dcard. The papers and main image are

from Kanban. I have also used silver mirri card for

matting and die cuts. 

the flower die cuts are from a die by Chloe Designs.

I hope there is enough bling to make my card Glitzy.

Something New

Hello everyone, I hope you have had a peaceful and happy Christmas

The challenge starting today at My Time To Craft is

I used a small 5" square white card.

The 'Sending' word is a new die.  All being in a set with

a project book from Hunkydory Crafts Ltd. 

I coloured the flowers and butterfly with Promarkers. 

Best wishes to everyone. 

A Sketch

Hi everyone, something different for the challenge for

the next two weeks at Cardz 4 Guyz. Julie has provided 

this interesting sketch, you can tip it, flip it, but we do need to see 

the same design, in some orientation.

Please pop over to see what the Design Team came up with.

For my card, I first created the three circles using dies.

I stamped the fish onto paper from a paper pad from

The Works - Trendy Blue Lifestyle. 

The gold fish stamps are from a set in my stash-source unknown.

The Angel fish are by All Nigh Media

Coloured with Promarkers and Crafter's Companion Glitter Pens.

Matted onto dark blue card for contrast. 

Thanks for your visit and any comments you may leave.

Something Beginning with 'L'

Hello again, thanks for your visit. Today at Cardz 4 Guyz

our new challenge was chosen by me. Now and again we have a 

Something beginning with a letter challenge, it being close 

to Valentine's Day, I thought of Love, but there are many who 

aren't interested in the 'Love' cards so this helps them to 

choose their own design and purpose fo the card. 

The challenge then is Something Beginning with the Letter 'L'

Please pop over to the blog to see the wonderful artwork

from the Design Team.

If you scoll down I made a card for another challenge 

with this design but a different size.

I made a Kraft card, the red striped background is from a paper

 pad from The Works. The Kraft card from Jelly Bean Crafts.

I embossed the Kraft card in an embossing folder.
The word 'love' is from a £1 die from The Range.

The hearts  are from various heart dies from The Range and The Works.
