Using the sketch over at Card Patterns, this 10th birthday card is made using DCWV Animal Cracker paper, with the little monkey fancy cut out of another sheet.
As you can see I have rotated the sketch so that I could fit the paper with text in the right way!
Using the sketch over at Mojo Monday I have created this School themed card.
I haven't added a sentiment as it is quite nice in that it could be used for a Teacher or as a well done for doing so well for a pupil. Or even as a good luck on your first day of school, which is coming up for a few special little ladies soon.
The papers and rub-ons are both from Fun-Tastic!
With the above sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You and the challenge over at Papertake Weekly being to include animals in your card, I have managed to combine both!
I have used a cream card for the base and used DCWV Animal CRackers paper and chipboard embellishments.
I have almost finished the sheet of DCWV Animal Crackers paper that I have been using, so this should be the last of this glittery goodness, for a couple of days at least!! I just can't help but use it, it seems whatever I do with it, it comes out looking bright and wonderful, even with my scrappy handwriting!
I fancy cut the jungle tree out of another sheet and wrote Cheeky using a Sharpie pen, the gems are from my stash and the rest is from the stack and chipboard set.
If you fancy a challenge today, remember to go and have a look at 365 cards for the DIY: Handwritten sentiment challenge!
Using the above sketch from 365 Cards I made this Birthday card.
The papers and chipboard are DCWV Animal Crackers range, which I am loving at the moment!
I will probably add the message: "Have a roaring good birthday!" inside too.
I was so excited to use my new DCWV Animal Crackers stack for the Mojo Monday challenge today. As well as my new stam set from Anita's stamps!
Yes, I am still using these DCWV scraps for the 3rd or 4th card this week! It seems to go so far! This one is for the challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenges, which is to use a number in your design.
So, I still had scraps from this DCWV paper so that's where I started! I then added a chipboard ribbon slider and mounted a matching DCWV sticker onto blue card and then onto this.
It was a quick one today as Simon currently has the barbeque smoking, and there should be sausages soon!
I hope you're all having fab weather for the bank holiday too!
Also, thanks everyone for the lovely comments, I am looking forward to all the blog hopping I have to catch up with as soon as I am in the house for more than 5 minutes, and seeing what you have all done with these challenges!
In this case, the number 6! I used scraps from the card I made 2 days ago, to create this funky little number!
I've got the day off today and I am off to have a trip on the London Eye! We've lived in London now since Christmas, so it is about time we got around to it!
Then we are off to watch a new TV quiz show being recorded, all I know is that Steve Jones is presenting and that Fern Britton is one of the team captains, so that's quite exciting.
But anyway because I'm in a bit of a rush I haven't had chance to let the glitter dry (as you can probably see) so I will take another shot when I get home tonight.
Have a nice day everyone!
Yes! That's what I thought when I saw the challenge over at 365 Cards! The task was to include "What" either on or inside your card. I really had to think about this one. Initially I was think of a Piratey them with "What! No Rum! Walk the Plank!" or something like that, and I started and it just looked a little bit silly!
So then I had another think about it! This is what I came up with!
I started with a DCWV paper and added a sticker which I first raised on 3D foam. Next I added a flat sticker and stuck the large glittery W (also DCWV) on top of this and then continued with smaller letters around the flow of the curl on the paper. To match the glittery W I finally added glitter on each of the small letters too.
I was tempted to do a fish card when the challenge was a clear card, but I'm glad I didn't as I got to do it today anyway!
I started with a piece of acetate, then added the holographic blue card on the inside of the last page, then I added a ripped piece of DCWV sand paper. I then ripped the other way on another piece for the front of the card.
I then went a bit crazy and started adding fish, squid, seaweed, shells and starfish all over the place! A very fun card to make!
It's Super Sketchy time over at 365 cards today! As soon as I saw the diamond I knew I was going to use my Sandy Lion Pirate papers!
I started with a burgundy base and cut down some coin paper to peep out from under the base paper. I then cut some more dubloons for the first diamond, then followed the rope around the Jolly Roger for the central image and raised this with 3D foam. Lastly I added gold brads and the sticker. With the message inside this reads Booty..........for the Birthday Boy!
Tuesday's Trio at 365 Cards was a brad, blossom and circle. I really wanted to keep using my new dress peel-offs so I created a birthday card for a little princess. It could also be due to the fact that I have been looking almost non-stop at Disney World brochures for the past few weeks! Yes, we finally booked 3 weeks in Orlando!
The circle was the pink gem in the crown, the brads are framing the acrylic princess ribbon slide and the blossoms are on the dress.
Do-it-yourself!
The task for the day was to create a chipboard embellishment that matched paper used on the card. I made this Birthday card which used DCWV glittered paper on the bottom half of this unusually shaped green card. Next I mounted this onto a circle of chipboard and added a 7 to the disk, with rub-ons in stars, message and party hat used to set the party atmosphere!
It's pretty exciting over at 365 cards with the highly anticipated Scor-it week starting soon!
So it is now the first day of a new month over at 365 Cards and I am glad to say that I am up to date with each and every challenge, and it has been great fun doing it! Today the them was water, I was thinking about this one all day at work because I have a lot of water themed papers (beach, light houses, rivers, swimming pools etc) for our holiday scrapbooks.
