Daring Card Makers - Sunglasses

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week is

Sunglasses

I had a rummage through all my stash and found a rather old sheet of decoupage from La Pashe called Flippity Dippity and thought the image was perfect for this challenge!  I cut out all the elements and layered them up - there is a reverse too! and also layered onto black card so make the image stand out more.  An offcut of card for the base and I found some equally old papers to use over it.

Good luck with the challenge!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 127 - No Squares Allowed

Time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme for the fortnight is:

No Squares Allowed

I've used a Tinsel Tots decoupage sheet from La Pashe, layering up with foam pads.  The stripy card is left over from a previous project and its from Funky Hand which is no longer available.  Ribbon, embroidery tread and bell from my stash.

The holly and berries are X Cut die cuts and I've made the banner from scrap card and wooden sticks plus beads from my stash to cap the sticks.  I've hand written the sentiment.

Good luck with the challenge - for more details pop over to Crimbo Crackers.

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 125 - Something Cute

Time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge!  The theme for the fortnight is

Something Cute

I've used a decoupage topper from La Pashe - Tinsel Tots and then added them to an embossed background - both are Cuttlebug folders - Swiss Dots and a snowflake pattern.  The silver twine is from my stash and I've handwritten the sentiment onto a Sizzix scalloped tag die cut.

The sentiment has been cut with Sizzix sentiments die and I've recycled a tissue box to cut it from.  To finish, glitter glue has been added around the edge of the card.

Good luck with the challenge!  For more details and how to enter, pop over to Crimbo Crackers

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 47 - Nativity

I honestly thought it was Wednesday today and not Thursday so I thought I was ok to leave the writing of the Crimbo Crackers new challenge post until I got home from work.  And then I realised that it is actually Thursday.  And I'm late!

Anyway, better late than never!  The theme of the challenge is:

Nativity

And here is my sample!  I've used another of the topper decoupage sets I bought quite some time ago from La Pashe - so long ago that they don't sell them any more!  They are quite large and almost fill this 13cm square card so I thought I'd keep it nice and simple!

Kraft card blank then some red and black card from my stash.  Some gold rope ribbon that I've had for longer than I care to remember and faux stitching around the edges and its done!

Good luck with the Crimbo Crackers challenge!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 41 - Kids

I'm running a little late this morning with blog posts - I blame the Bank Holiday Monday and thinking I'm on Wednesday when it is actually Thursday!

Anyway, time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme for the fortnight is:

Kids

I've used a cute decoupage image from La Pashe which I bought as a kit - I got lots of the sheets for a bargain price but they are no longer available.  Thre are quite a few layers to the image and really quite easy to cut out - great for watching telly at night!

The papers are from Echo Park - All I Want For Christmas and are leftover strips from making a large batch of Christmas cards the year before last - if you look closely you can just about see the join!

I've added some Christmas green ribbon that I found in my stash along with some jingle bells.  So a nice and quick card to make and I have plenty more sheets to go at too!

Good luck with the challenge - there are not many rules but one is that it has to be Christmas or Festive related!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 32 - Decoupage

It's time for the first Crimbo Crackers challenge of 2013! The theme for the fortnight is:

Decoupage

I've used a rather cute image from La Pashe - I bought the complete set of Tinsel Tots some time ago and although the full set is no longer available, the individual sheets are and you can make two cards from one sheet - and all that for 59p!  This one is called Ho Ho Ho and I've used the main image and then added all the various layers using foam pads for depth.

I've layered the image and papers onto some red card I found in my stash and the patterned paper is cleverly joined offcuts from Echo Park - All I Want For Christmas - I hate to throw any bits away and know that one day it can be used for something! The ribbon is not actually ribbon but some sort of industrial trim as it came from the Scrap Store.

Good luck with the challenge - for more details, pop over to Crimbo Crackers!
