Let's see it for 'THE GIRLS' at JUGS.

 It's Wild Card Week at Just Us Girls
and this only comes around when we have
5 Saturday's in the Month.
This is always a 'Fun Challenge' and Nancy chose
a 'Ripper' for us.

 

I hadn't thought too much about what sort of card I would make

for Nancy's challenge until I saw something I had cut out

and was lying on my desk - even had the ribbon beside it

so what better time to finish off
 what I had started some weeks before.

I had seen this type of card so many times that I worked out
a template to use and went from there.
I used Linen & plain card stock.
Designer paper is by Kaisercraft and double sided (of course)
I got out some old flower dies using
Tim Holtz Tattered Florals.
How many of us have this
and have had it in the back blocks for a long time?
The small flower in the centre is Bitty Blossoms
and have another piece in between from a SB die.
Scrunched them all up for dimension.
Added a pearl to the centre.
My leaves are also from Spellbinders
Ribbon is SU
Sentiment is Inspired by Stamping.
I love the soft colours of the DP as it makes
a lovely feminine card.
Pop on over and see what other Girly Creations
have been made by our Guest Carol and
my Team mates. Hope you can come and play
with us this week and you could be chosen
as Chic of the Week and go on to be our
Guest for September.

Since this is basically a Birthday card
and the current Theme Challenge over at
Watercooler Challenges is to use
The Letter B Details  Here.
I am joining in the fun
as my sentiment says Beautiful Birthday.

Playing with Purple Again

I am back again to show off another card I made for the

Shades of Purple Challenge over at

Double D Challenges

 

 

I have a pack of pearlescent textured card stock that
I thought I would try on my SU Lotus Blossom
stamp set to see how my flowers would turn out.
I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome as the flowers
are muted with the pearl and the texture added another
dimension - certainly different and not so bold
as the colours would have been with normal cs.
I inked one stamp and the stems on the base cs
 and then cut several others to pop inking with
Memento Eldenberry/Sweet Plum
and Lulu Lavender.
I found the little piece of silver mesh
in my stash and thought it perfect
so added gemstones and sequins to match.
Sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping.
Added foam squares for dimension
and corner rounded to finish.

Again I thank you for dropping in
and it is always nice to read your comments.

Till next time - Cherrio from

 



A Sucker for You





I made a card for a summer challenge earlier in the month featuring

an old fashioned All Day Sucker and while I was thinking

sweet things decided to make a similar card for our

'Summer Challenge' over at Crafty Cardmakers.

This time round Bec is Hosting.

 

 

I cut a circle from Jac paper peeling off one side

 and attached my rainbow coloured cotton around

 till it was all covered. This was popped slightly

so I could attach my lollypop stick behind it.

I found some scrap DP that matched

to use as a background.

The sentiment is from an old

Cuttlebug Alphabet die - Typewriter.

I thought the sentiment perfect to go with

my 'All Day Sucker'.

I'm sure you can all relate to eating

plenty of these when you were young.

Finished it off with a gem in the centre.

 

Thanks for dropping in and hope you will

pop over to Our Blog to see what

my team mates thoughts were on

our 'Summer Theme'

Maybe I will see yours there.

 



HELLO Friend

 

The latest challenge over at

Watercooler Challenges 

is a Colour Challenge.

 

 

I found this a little hard trying to match

what I had as close as I could but think

I matched the colours fairly well.

These are the colours I chose -

SU Baja Breeze

Memento Angel Pink

Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet/Stormy Sky.

For the Very Vanilla I used card stock.

My base is fairly close to the Baja Breeze

topped with Vanilla which was also used for

the FRIEND sentiment by Inspired by Stamping.

This was cut from Die-Namics Stitched Rectangles

My stencil is Memory Box

Hello - Lawn Fawn

Added pearls and used foam squares for dimension.

 

Hope you like my take on this colour challenge and

Thanks for dropping in.

 

 



Just a Note.

 

I am getting so much fun playing with

 Tim Holtz Thinlits Mixed Media dies

as they make such a dramatic effect when

backed with Designer Paper.

 

 

I am once again playing along at The Mod Squad
hosted by Judy Woodland & Vicky Dutcher

for their Kraft Challenge.

This is a simple card showing of the beautiful

DP - Spring Lilacs from Inspired by Stamping

and adding a simple sentiment which is also

by IBS - Vintage Pieces.

I cut this with a SB die and inked with

Memento Elderberry.

I have used mounting squares for dimension.

Finished off by just adding some

purple gemstones.

 

Thanks for dropping in

 

 

 



Creating with 'Leftovers'

 A few days ago I posted a card Here for the
WIW Inspiration Challenge over at
The House that Stamps Built
and said I would be back using up
some leftovers from that card.
Here is what I came up with.

I used a new stencil on this card  from Dusty Attic

Sentiment - SU

Inks - Memento Paris Dusk/Love Letter

Leftover Stars - Cuttlebug Die

Added glitter to the white star

Spritzing

 

This is the inspiration photo below.


I am also entering this for the current challenge over at
The Cut It Up Blog for their
Red White & Blue #101 Challenge

Thanks for dropping in.

 

It's all about 'Purple' at Double D Challenges

 

 

As you can see it is all about Purple at

Double D Challenges with these beautiful photos

for our Inspiration.

A lot of you will know that this is

'My Favourite Colour' so this was a

no brainer - I had to play.

 

I recently bought a few Altenew stamp sets

and am still getting used to all the layers

you can use to build your flower so mine.

 I admit it has taken a few trial runs and still working on it.

For this reason I made this card cas.

The flower is from Altenew Peony Bouquet

using Memento Inks in

Eldenberry Sweet Plum & Lulu Lavender

Stencilled background is from TCW

Sentiment is Inspired by Stamping

Spellbinders Circle

Own ribbon & gemstones.

Off to make another card in my
favourite colours!
