One Layer Card

Back with my second post today for the A Blog Named Hero Facebook team. Yes, I've volunteered again this year! I'm adding this card to the current A Blog Named Hero One Layer Challenge and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Something New (The Stencil). I bought this stencil as I've seen Michelle Lupton used it on a regular basis and I really like the swirly pattern. This is my first go at using the stencil... you may see more variations of this in the future!!
Oh, you want to know how I did the background?
I placed the stencil over the folded card and taped down the card and the stencil. I sponged with Distress Inks Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserve. After lifting off the stencil, I sponged the edges of the card with more Picked Raspberry. Lastly the sentiment and dots were stamped in black. Too easy and fun to do!! Thanks for dropping by!!

Something New - A Baby!

A very CAS card for a new born baby using ME Lunar Animals, SSS Game Tiles and LF Critters Down Under. In the Chinese Lunar calendar, it is still the year of the Sheep, hence the baby lamb on the card! I'm adding this card to the CASology - Simple and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Something New challenges. Thanks for dropping by!

First Christmas card for 2016

Ha ha... I thought I would be sick of making Christmas cards by now. For the first time last year, I made every single card - about 80 cards! I was so busy that a lot of them were not blogged! This one was made today as I was keen to do the Fusion Card Challenge. I dug out my favourite Basic Grey Aspen Frost papers and made the following card using dies from MFT and Simon Says Stamp. Thanks for dropping by! I'm ahead for next Christmas!!

Happy New Year!

A little bit late for Australia, but the other side of the world is still celebrating! Wishing all my crafty friends best wishes for the New Year!!
I'm adding this card to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Party!

On the Eleventh Day of Christmas

I'm over at the A Blog Named Hero Christmas Blog today! Here is a sneak peak of my card. Head over to the blog and find out who my special guest is today.

Still more Christmas Cards!

I have another Christmas card to share. I've had this background stamp from Hero Arts for a while now and it has never been inked up. As I recently got some Hero Arts card stock, I thought I'll try inking this up with Field Greens mid-tone ink. I loved it so much, I inked up 4 cards at the same time. As time was running out to post this, I just finished the one card to share today. I've used silver embossing on vellum for the main image and sentiment. and glitzed it up with some glitter tape and sequins. I'm adding this to Virginia Views' challenge - All About Glitter (so sad that this will be the last one!) I've enjoyed all the challenges! I'm also adding this to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - Let it Snow! (Snowflakes on the bauble...)
