CHRISTMAS CARD CLUB.Four or More of a Kind.

This is Clare's Challenge of Four or More of a Kind.....

This I thought was a very taxing challenge but I thoroughly enjoyed it....

These are Triangle Tri-Fold Cards....

The Card Toppers are pictures on cloth which I bought from the Doncaster Show this year which I mounted onto mount board, then matt and layered...

The outer is a Spellbinders eyelet square on colour core card.

I took the edges off using a file then used distress ink to darken them....

The centre pieces on the fronts are Creative Expressions Zipper Roses which I bought from MB Crafts, of which I had no idea what to do with them for ages!!!!!! Till Now....

Then I finished off with some C&C Ribbon and a couple of stick on rhinestones.

I am entering this into the Christmas Card Club Challenge....

CHRISTMAS CARD CLUB. FREEBIE OR RECYCLED.

Here is my card, which is a freebie stamp that I got in the Papercraft Essentials Mag....which I now subscribe to regulary....

I spent a great afternoon with a friend making this card.. .

Even though we both made the same card they were quite different.....

I am entering this card in the Christmas Card Club Challenge.

Afternoon Crafting At A Friends.

Spent an afternoon at my friends Janet crafting and these are the two cards that I managed to make.....

Christmas of course.....

My Prize Win.

Well getting home from my friends today after some wonderful crafting. Cards above . I was met by a parcel on my mat????

Thinking!!! I'm sure iv'e not ordered anything lately...old age and all...I opened it in anticipation and WOW!!!!

I had only won the full set of My Craft Studio Papercraft Library CD's just by sending my details on a postcard...so all it cost me was the price of a stamp...

So to all you crafters out there do enter these competitions if it just means buying a stamp.

CHRISTMAS CARD CLUB.LIZZIE'S SKETCH

Thought I would try a bit of sophistication for this challenge. The tree is actually 3D but is quite difficult to see. It was an idea from a young lady called Susannah who has her own company called 'SUSANNAH STYLE'.

The back ground paper is stamped and distressed which is another idea she was showing us at the craft fair at Lincoln the other Sunday.

My starting point for this sketch was actually the ribbon, which I thought was a good a place as any to start, as it was the only place I could think of to start at.

Smart but Simple.

This is my card for Claire's Challenge....Silver & Blue with Embossing...

This is a similar card to one that I saw in a demo this last Saturday at MB Craft's...

GINGHAM AND SPOTS

Well thought I would put in a different kind of card, just for a change...

Had a go at using my Mix and Match Frame Creator Stepper's...by Pinflair..

Needed to create some shapes to my cards but have not got many nesties so tried the next best thing that I had.....

The Decoupage is a Sarah Kay Design...

SANTA with SPECTRUM NOIR

This is my card for Chris's challenge...Anything Goes....

Better late than never...

I did need a little time to get used to using my Spectrum Noir pens....

Well maybe a little more time than I thought.....

CHRISTMAS CARD CLUB CHALLENGE, All White with a bit of Glitter.

This is my entry for Margaret's Theme of White with a Bit of Glitter.

As I have been a little late with my last two cards I thought I would get in there early. So here is my entry.

I cut out an apeature in a card with my Xcut cutter big enough for my bauble to hang in, I embossed my bauble through my big shot and glittered with a bit of stickles........The snow flakes are the wooden ones I got from the show at Doncaster Race Course recently, which I glittered.

The greeting is a double sided peel off with I again glittered so it would show up. The bow is some cord which had tassels on each end........My insert is one from create and craft, with a few gems to finish off.

Hope you all like it and leave your comments.

CHNC challenge 35: Build it up.

This is my card for Hazels challenge no 35, build it up using several layers.

This I bought from my local craft store, M.B.CRAFTS.
