Challenge: You're Wonderful

A quick post with a card fresh out of the oven before we head off for dinner with friends. :)

I tried to do something different this time - a card without pattterned papers! And I am quite pleased with how it turned out.  Are you ready for it...?

The image is from The Greeting Farm's Miss Anya Dressy.  The sentiment is from Lili Of The Valley.  The dies were cut with MFT Die-namics Circle Stax.  And I used Vintage Cream cardstock from Papertrey Ink.

For my card, I used the sketch from this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge -

And the colours are from this week's challenge over at 613 Avenue Create -

Did you like that? Leave me some love. :)

Challenge: I Love You This Big

It seems like I am on a roll...

So, I give you another Valentine's Day card featuring MFT's Pure Innocence - I Love You This Big clear stamps. :)

This card uses this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch from The Sweetest Thing blog.

 

How do you like that? It (sort of) matches my other Valentine's Card here. 

Let me know what you think... :)

S4All: Decemeber Challenge with Eureka and QKR Stampede

Christmas is almost here!  In the Sketches4All community, we have some December Challenges for you and we hope you will play along with us!

The first of the challenges this December is one sponsored by Eureka Stamps and QKR Stampede.

They are too kind to sponsor the S4All DT with a digital stamp to play with.  And my choice is Santa's List.  He's too funny, I couldn't resist him!

And here is my card showcasing this digital image. I hope you like it.

The papers are from Echo Park's Holly Jolly Christmas paper pad.  All the dies on my card are cut with MFT dies.  The button is glittered, but it didn't come thru the camera, too bad.

A closer shot on the digi.  I coloured him with Copic markers.

I hope you can find time to check out all the projects from the DT on the S4All website.  And then we'd love you to submit any  Christmas-themed projects you have for a chance at some Eureka/QKR Stamps goodies.

For my card, I used this week's The Sweetest Thing sketch SSS173.

Challenge Entry: Silver Snowflake Christmas

We don't get snow here in Singapore, but I am sure, somewhere in the world where there is snow, this card will just fit right in. :)

Close up on the snowflake die.

I cut these out using Cricut Expression with the Damask Decor Cartridge.

Card base: PaperTreyInk
Cardstock: American Crafts, AZone (silver)
DP: American Crafts
Punch: Martha Stewart
Die: Cricut Expression with Damask Decor Cartridge
Ribbon: Paper Island


I am submitting this card to the following challenges.

2.  Little Darlings Challenges - Challenge 11 - Silver Bells

I used silver DP for the background, and silver cardstock for the snowflake dies.  And also one DP I used had actual silver bells printed on it.

3. Paper Sundaes - Challenge #94 Rectangle

4. Top Tip Tuesday - Challenge 59 - Anything Christmas Goes
** TOP TIP**
     Instead of using an actual sentiment, the ribbon I used with the text "Merry Christmas" served as the sentiment for this card.  Hitting 2 birds with one ribbon! :D

Challenge Entry: Flower-y Birthday (Plus a How-To)

A new birthday card from me using a new technique I (accidentally) discovered! :)

Close up on the details.

Pretty flower, right? Here's how I did it...


1. Cut a 1" strip of DP.
2. With your edger punch, and punch on one side of your DP strip.  Here I used EK Success' Abstract Flower edge punch.

3.  Do the same on the other side, but make sure you try your best to align the puncher to the pattern on the already punched out side.

4. Cut up the individual flowers or use them as a strip to embellish your project.

Easy peasy, instant embellie! :)

I am submitting this card to the following challenges for this week.

Challenge Entry: Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #130

A new week, and a new set of challenges! :)

To start the week off, here's my take on the sketch at The Sweetest Thing Challenge blog.

It's the first blue card I have ever made. :)  And I kinda like the blue and yellow combination that's going on in this card. 

Here's a closer look at the details, plus the card recipe.

The little butterflies are from Marthat Stewart Crafts Stamp and Punch collection.  I just used the punch, no stamp on this one as I used patterned paper. 

Patterned paper (City Park Bay Park) and cardstock from American Crafts.  The patterned paper is double sided.  The other side is yellow.

Stamped image from Inkadinkado Sending Wishes.  Stamped Sentiment from American Crafts Sentiments.  Punchers from EK Success. 

And of course, the great sketch from the creative souls at The Sweetest Thing...
