CTS#106

Hi everyone!!!


There's a new sketch over at the CAS(E) this Sketch Blog.
This is what the sketch looks like:

and this is my take on it:

Adhered some washi tape strips to my card front.
Added a lattice cut with my Tim Holtz Alterations die from Sizzix.
Daisy dies from MFT.
Added some bling and it was done.
Afrikaans sentiment saying: 'Just for You'.

Super quick and easy!!!

Hi everyone!!


Here to post my card for the colour challenge at the Pals Paper Arts Blog 
What lovely colours to work with!!!

 

 

 

 

I've made this card using the above colours:

 

 

Dp from Heidi Swapp.
Winter rose die from MFT.  Leaf stamp and dies from PTI.  Banner dies from Verve.
Crosses stamp also from Verve.
Added some dry wall tape and done some sewing on the borderpunch strips at the top.
Spellbinders nesties used to cut rings and half circles.
Added rhinestones for some shine.
Afrikaans sentiment saying: 'Congratulations'.

In the photo the colours are slightly darker than IRL.

RS#148 and Mojo Monday #380

Hi everyone!!


I've got two cards to share with you.  First up is my entry for the sketch challenge over at the RetroSketches Blog.  This is the sketch to work with:

 

 

 

and this is what my card looks like:



I discovered this little guy in a bow with goodies that I mainly use for scrapbooking.  I bought it some time ago and thought I would use it on a kids card, but when I had a look at him today, I changed my mind and decided  to make a fun Valentine's card in stead
I computer generated the sentiment and printed it on vellum. 
I wasn't sure if the word 'dude' was referring to a guy or a girl (as I have in mind here) so I had a look around and found this explanation in the Urban Dictionary:
       1) n. a name for anyone (stereotypically used by male surfters/skaters but now accepted by any       race, sex, religion, and wealth) . 
So I think it's OK to use it here - let me know if you think 'dude' definitely refers to a male person only and I should rather change the sentiment. (will work out a way to do that without ruining my card!!!)




Next up is another card I made with today's sketch on the Mojo Monday.Blog.  (Apologies for saying in my previous post that it is a sketch by Julee - it's by Teresa Kline)
.

 

 

I have made a masculine card using the sketch:

 

Used dp by Heidi Swapp.
Image stamp from a local craft shop, Great Impressions.
Added some dry wall tape again and rounded it off with black plastic dots and rhinestones.
Afrikaans sentiment saying: 'Congratulations'.


That will be it for today - thanks for popping in!!

Keep well!!!
Kind regards

Keep well!!

Kind regards

CTS#105 and Fusion

Hallo everyone!!!


Hope you're enjoying the Sunday so far!!!  We had a lovely buffet lunch at the world famous Fancourt hotel and now the boys have gone fishing, so I've got some time to spend in my craft room, with no one blowing in my neck to play Minecraft on my computer!!!

I have three cards to share with you today. 
First up is the card I am entering for the challenge over at the Fusion card Challenge Blog.  They are celebrating their first birthday and what great challenges they have bought us during 2014!!!!  I didn't play as much as I would have liked to, but this year I will hopefully have time to play their game more often - it is such great fun to work with both a photo and a sketch!!!!

 

 

I've used elements from both the photo and the sketch to make this card: 

 

 

Dp from Teresa Collins.  Borderpunch from Upikit.

Flower stamp and die from Verve.  Bg stamps used on chalkboard, from Glitz.

Heat embossed the chalkboard frame with gold EP.

A button with a twine bow, some rhinestones and a paper clip added to finish it off.

Afrikaans sentiment saying: 'Happy Birthday' 

 

 

Next up is my entry for the sketch challenge over at the CAS(E) this Sketch Blog.

 

 

This is my card:



Dp from Teresa Collins.
Stamps and 'U' die from Verve.
I've used clear 3D Gloss to add the shiny circles to the card,  I have also given the 'U' some shine with the 3D Gloss.
Added a twine bow and black plastic dots as finishing touches.


My last card just happened while playing with bits of dp paperand cs at my craft table last night.
I quite like how it turned out so I thought I would share it with you.

Dp from Heidi Swapp.
Used some Spellbinder dies.
Arrow stamp by Verve. Cogs cut with X-cut dies from Do Crafts.
A paper clip, rhinestones and some black plastic dots round it off.
Afrikaans sentiment saying: 'Best Wishes'.


Ok, I'm off - would most probably be back tomorrow with a Mojo Monday card.

Thanks so much for popping in - your visits and comments are always much appreciated!!!

Have a super Sunday!!!

Keep well!!!
Kind regards

AAA#31, FMS#168 and NBUS#3

Hi everyone!!!


I'm having such a lot of fun being back in my craft room I made a second card for the day!!!!


This time I'm joining in 3 challenges. 
It's been ages since I last played at the AAA cards Challenge Blog and I just had to join in the fun again!!!  The game to play till 10 Jan is to use a little gold!!
I loved the sketch over at the Freshly Made Sketches Blog the moment I saw it, so I'm also joining in there.
And then Darnell has a new NBUS challenge running on her fun blog, djkardkreations.com, but more about that later.

 

 

I have made this card to link to the 3 challenges:

 

The small piece of dp I've used is from Teresa Collins and the flower and flourish dies are from MFT.
 Used some dry wall tape and black twine and my usual black plastic dots.
Afrikaans sentiment saying: 'Congratulations'.

To qualify for Darnell's NBUS challenge I used my new harlequin stamp I bought while in Cape Town during the December holidays.  I was lucky enough to win a lovely kit of gold EPs and glitter in the first McGuyver challenge over at AAA cards, and I have used some of the yummy glitter for the first time on this card.  If you don't know who the sweet Darnell is or you don't know what NBUS is, I suggest you hop over to djkardkreations.com and enjoy what you find there!!!

I really like how this card turned out - just a pity the glitter didn't photograph so nicely - IRL it really looks nice!!!

This card will go to a friend of mine's son and his wife who will be attending a wedding on 16 Jan.  They will give it to the newly wed couple to congratulate them on their special day.

Sorry for the long post - won't keep you any longer!!!!!

Keep well!!
Kind regards
Petra
