Clare's Challenge...Pastel Colors and include a Circle.

Clare's Challenge was again made using the Hunky Dory Christmas Bumper Pack.

I again folded an A4 Scene in half, then I cut the front panel in half.

The part I cut off I then stuck to the inside matching it up to the front.

My topper is from the same pack.

I used velvet ric rac ribbon and stuck gems along it.

The sentiment I backed and stuck to the edge of the topper.

Lorraine's Challenge...A Christmas Scene.

This is Lorraine.s Challenge...A Christmas Scene.

My card is made from The Hunky Dory bumper Christmas pack from last year and this year combined..

The main card is a full A4 scene which I folded in half.

The topper was backed with black card and over the image I stuck snow flake acetate.

I finished with a sentiment.

My Challenge..Baubles

Here at last is my card for my challenge.

I used glittery card to make the front panel. I cut out and embossed the bauble, colouring the embossing folder with distress ink.

I used thin black ribbon to make the lines and finished with a double bow, gems and a sentiment.

Inspiration Birthday Card.

This card I was making for fun is now for my friend Janet's Birthday next month has she loves the colour purple..

It's taken from the free disc that you get with the Debbie Moore Inspiration Magazine..

Great card to make only problem was you had to download several sheets to make the card..

Good thing I have lots of bits left to make other cards with.

I also made a box to put it in as it has a curved front to it.

Margaret's Challenge...Father Christmas..

Once again sorry for being late with my blog challenge..

My challenge is a box card which is a kit from Hunkydory..

I found this kit when I was looking for card for my next challenge which I chose..."Baubles"..

I decoupaged the Santa image and glittered the snow on the trees and on Santa, hope you can see the glitter.

Hazel's Challenge...Feature a creature..

Hazel's Challenge is to feature a creature...hope two will do..

I used a pack which I think was Kanban..

The original card featured was a round card on acetate but thought I would make it differently...

I used my A4 dotted embossing folder for the main card and carefully highlighted the dots with distress ink.. 

Zoe's Card...Clean and Simple..

The main card is made from my favorite card, Centura Pearl...

I used the same snowflake stamp from the previous card using distress ink to stamp with..

The sentiment and holly leaves are from the same stamp set as the snowflakes..

I finished with gems for the berries and in the centre of the snow flakes and ribbon on the edge..

Lizzie's Card...Vintage..

I thought I was going to have trouble with this card but I was inspired by two of my crafting buddies..Mark and AJ who do a lot of steam punk type crafting...

I used a Kanban Topper backing it with black card and very carefully cutting round the main shape.

 The main card I stamped with snowflakes and distressed with vintage photo ink..

AJ gave me the ribbon type feature which he won in a blog candy.

I then finished it with a sentiment from the same Kanban topper sheet and put gems in for the car head lights..

Sylvie's Card....Silver and one other colour..

My card for this challenge was great to do..

I used silver mirror card for the main card and used cutting dies as a black silhouette effect for the sleigh, reindeer and tree, finishing off with peel offs for the stars, reins and frame.

Clare's Card...Use Kraft Card some where...

On this card I used Kraft card as the main feature.

I used a Christmas tree embossing folder, then cut out the shape with cutting dies, then followed the lines of the tree with Stickles.

I cut out the corners in the Kraft card and finished with a Kraft card tag and sentiment.

Sue W's Challenge..Snowballs and Glitter..

This is Sue's challenge.

I found the freebie background decoupage whilst I was looking for other items for my cards..

The boy image is a freebie, which I stamped onto colored papers then cut out to decorate his clothing. 

The snowballs are made out of cotton wool balls..

I used stickles glitter for the snow, water and berries..

Finishing off with a sentiment.

Steam Punk

In between making my Christmas Cards I had a Birthday Card to make for my partners son.

The image is from my good friend Mark.

I coloured it using my Spectrum Noir Pens and grunged the outer with Distress Inks.

The clock face is a shrink plastic freebie that I got in a magazine.

I cut out the lettering on my Ecraft and finished embellishing it with ribbon and brads.

The lace effect underneath the son I am not sure what that is called but it made a good effect.

DEBI'S Challenge - 3 Fold Card & Traditional Christmas Colors

For Debi's Challenge I made a three fold card with traditional colours, which I presume is red and green.

 I used a topper and glittered paper from Docrafts.

I cut out the Ho, Ho, Ho's on my Ecraft Cutter, with red ribbon, gems and some stickles on santas berries and beard to finish.

Dawn's Challenge...It's Only Words.

 Dawn... Sorry my card for your challenge is late..

I have been struggling of late to be inspired..

But eventually an idea came to mind... 

It consists of a Clarity Stamp, Spellbinders cutting dies, Distress Inks and peel offs with a touch of Stickles..

Now Iv'e been inspired again I will be looking to catch up with the other challenges..
