CD Sunday Challenge - Christmas Things With Wings

Hello and welcome to my blog today, it's a pleasure to have your company.

A new challenge has started over at the CD Sunday Challenge and for this challenge we are asked to make a card with the theme of 'Christmas Things With Wings'.  Here is my card:

I used my Christmas in Moonbeam Meadow cd-rom from Crafters' Companion to make my card.  I used pearlescent gold paper from PaperMill for all the layers and the snowflake border which was cut using a Memory Box die. The backing paper was printed from the cd-rom along with the topper.

I added the super cute pompom ribbon to complete the card.

Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge

This is my entry into the latest challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches:

I used Lynda Chapman's Kraft Card to create my base card.  The backing paper is from The Paper Boutique Butterfly Collection, also from Creative Crafting World.

I die cut the butterfly from Co'oredinations card using a free die from Die-cutting essentials magazine.  I added vellum to the rear of the butterfly and the added ultra fine glitter.  The corner decoration was cut from the same card using a Spellbinders die.

The scalloped edge was created using a Martha Stewart punch.  I highlighted the edges of the cardstock and die-cuts using Peacocks Feathers distress ink.

The gems I added are from Joanna Sheen and the sentiment is a peel off.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Birthday Megan

I would like to share a card with you I've made for my niece's birthday.  She loves to go horse riding so this decoupage from Jolly Nation fits the bill perfectly!

I decided to try a different shape of card and am quite pleased with how it's turned out.

I created the base card using the smooth white card from Creative Crafting World.  I love this card and it is a real go-to for me now.  I used red card from PaperMill for all my matting and layering.  I printed the decoupage image and matching backing paper onto super smooth paper.  These are from the Jolly Nation cd-rom.

The die cut mat the main image is sat on was created using a Crafters' Companion die.  The happy birthday die was a freebie from a magazine.  The name was stamped using stamps from Marianne Designs.

I would like to enter my card into the current challenge at CD Sunday which has a theme of 'Take a Stamp'.

'Take A Stamp' - The CD Sunday Challenge

A new challenge has begun over at The CD Sunday Challenge and this time as well as using elements from a cd, we are asked to use a stamp to create our card.

Like many crafters, I do not enjoy making sympathy cards, but unfortunately, we all need to make them from time to time.  This is the case for me and I hope that my card can bring a little comfort to the recipient.

I used a combination of Sue Wilson and Spellbinders dies on my card.  The stamp I used was the 'With Sympathy' sentiment and is a 'WOW!' stamp taken from a set of sentiment stamps.  The cd element is the paper in the background, which is a pink, lightly mottled paper printed from The Seraphina Alphabet Collection cd-rom by Creative Crafting World.

I created the vase using paper clay and a mould from Katy Sue Designs.  The flowers and leaves I have had for some time and are made from paper.

CD Sunday Challenge - When Autumn Leaves Start To Fall

I wasn't sure if I'd get my card finished for the current challenge over at CD Sunday, but another sleepless night gave me the chance to get it done!

The beaded butterfly was created using a pattern from stitchingcards.com.  I used centura pearl card and added gems to the corners.

All mats were created using Lynda's Kraft card from Creative Crafting World.  The beautiful die cuts are Spellbinders dies.  I used a combination of Crafters Companion and Tattered Lace dies to create the sentiment.

The cd element is the backing paper which was printed from the cd that came with Crafters Inspiration Issue 11 from Crafters Companion.  The addition of the gems completed my card.

Thanks for visiting.
