Signs of Christmas

This is the second week for the challenge "Signs of Christmas".  I picked this as my heme as I knew everyone would really be busy preparing for Christmas.  This is a broad theme so let's see what you can create.  No backlinks please and make sure you follow the theme.  From time to time I get entries that just do not satisfy the theme.

I just love this door image found on the Gingerloft Collection, Stitchy Bear Outlet website.  I distressed the edges of the image and made a little (and I do mean little) bow for the wreath on the door.  The antique red print designer paper was placed on a brown base and a brown ribbon was added on top.  It is threaded through a buckle diecut.  On top I place a small decorated tree sticker.

For week two of the "Signs of Christmas" challenge I've made a card using a digital image by designer Kaz Krafts at our sponsor Stitchy Bear.  I started with red cardstock and added some pretty green designer paper from my stash.  I used the digital stamp of a candle and colored it digitally, print it out, fussy cut it and did some outlining with a black pro marker.  I added a sentiment from my stash,  This challenge is a good way to help you get stocked up on home-made Christmas cards.  I hope you will play along with our challenge.

For the second week of Signs of Christmas, I have made a card using an image from Kaz Kraftz and it is found on the Stitchy Bear outlet. I colored my sock digitally and layered it on a red scrapbook paper and then  I added it to two different Christmas papers I found on Pinterest. I adorned my card with some buttons, some ribbons, a reindeer and a small sock.Keep playing along with us and have a magical week!

I still needed to make some last minute Christmas cards, so I've made two cards using the lovely versatile Gingerloft's Christmas door image kindly supplied by Stitchy Bear Stamps, sponsors of the challenge. I changed the colour to green and simply printed. The shaped cards and other bits and pieces have been in my Christmas box for far too long - it was good to bring a couple of cards together using the lovely image.

For week 2 of the challenge I chose a sprig of holly and fussy cut it out. the image is from Kaz Katz at Stitchy Bear Outlet. The back ground is embossed with poinsettias and I added gold trim to the layer that the image is popped up on. The Season's Greetings is embossed in gold.  There is glossy accents on the berries to make them shine.

Another Christmas Card

I love this image which can be found on the Stitchy Bear Outlet website.  I decided that it really didn't need any coloring.  I placed it on vintage red printed cardstock and then on a dull green cardstock,  All of this was placed on a white card base.  Just to give the card a little bling, I added a glittery little tree.

I am entering this in the Unruly Paperarts' 12 Days of Christmas Linkup.

Challenge #95-"A Birthday Card"

I really don't make as many birthday cards as I should so I thought this challenge would help me get ahead a little. this week.  The Design Team is anxious to see what you make.  Your birthday card can be serious or funny; it can be for a man, woman or child.  It is up to you.

Vicki

I love this cute birthday cake image from Stitchey Bear Outlet.  I placed it on som e dotted designer paper after coloring it with Copic marker.  A big bow finishes the card.

Michele

A birthday card challenge is always timely -- good to have plenty of them made and ready.  Our design team is once again working with images by Stitchy Bear and I've used two digital images this week, a birthday cake and a "boo boo bear."  I digitally arranged the bear and cake on a digital background by itKuPiLLi -- the Primavera series.  The "for you" sentiment is a digital image I added from Clear Dollar Stamps.  This creation is 100% digital -- I even did the coloring in Photoshop and at present this card only exists in my computer!  But when the moment comes i'll be able to print it, adhere it to cardstock and it will be ready to go.

For the first week of "A birthday card", I made a card using an image from our sponsor Stitchy Bear and it is Bonnet Day  .It is adorable! I layered it onto a texturized card stock and adorned it with some pearls, a purple flower and a sentiment. I hope you continue playing along with us. Have a magical week!

Hazel

For this card I used the Stitchy Bear 'four iron' image kindly supplied by the sponsor, colouring with spectrum noir pens, cutting around and mounting on to a piece of golf paper. All papers used were from my offcuts box, the larger argyll pattern was from Guy's Life. The silver embossed strip is a snippet of some originally created with an embossing folder run through the eBosser

Week 1 of the challenge I used this great golf image from Stitchy Stqamps, I used a lot of scraps out of my scrap box, even the base was in there. I coloured with copics and added the Happy Birthday.  g and some baker's twine

Challenge #92, All That Jazz!

We are excited to start a new two week challenge featuring "All That Jazz" and all things musical!  As usual the design team has all kinds of creative inspiration to get you started.

Vicki

My card made me remember all the dances I went to while I was in high schoo.  The main image is from my sponsor, Stitchy Bear and the pennants are from Gecko Galz.  At my dances we usually had pennants hanging around the walls.

 

Hazel

I've used some sheet music that I found on the internet and created my card digitally in Microsoft Picture It, adding digital images taken from Jazz Band, kindly supplied by Stitchy Bear's digi outlet.

Michele

Do you love music? I do.  So I love this two week theme.  For my card I worked with musical instrument digital images generously provided by our challenge sponsor Sticthy Bear stamps and combined them with images in my stash from FrenchKissed postcards (FKP).  The background paper is a digital background by FKP. I digitally added the harp and grand piano, from the "all that jazz" collection.  I then added my cut out vintage lady, also by FKP  My lovely chanteuse is surrounded by butterflies from my stash.

Karla

For the first week of “All that jazz”, I’ve created a card using a silhouette kindly provided by our sponsor Stitchy Bear Stamps. It is a sax: an instrument that I really love.I adorned it some crystals, some flowers, bows and an immortal quote which was found on the net. The papers are from Brazilian designers. The man playing sax is from my stash. I thought I’d never use that sticker but the opportunity presented itself. Have a magical week and keep playing along with us!

Leona

I have used this fabulous image of a drum kit for my card today and as it is silhouette, I have kept the colour palette simple.  The digi is available from Stitchy bear outlet.
