Managed a card this afternoon/evening after getting back from up north and visiting our little princesses.
Parameters were a bit challenging this week.
Hi there. It's time for my card for this month's challenge at Die Cut Divas. Our sponsor is Kat Scrappiness
I decided that I need to entry in The Flower Challenge as I haven't done so for a while. Nice to make a non-Christmas card.
My background was made using Altenew yellow ink pads from A Pocketful of Sunshine set. I only used the first three colours and randomly stamped the pads directly to the card. I used a Gina K Master Layout die to cut out the panel before stamping the Altenew floral from Build a Garden: Morning Aster stamp set. I stamped the sentiments from the Altenew Elegant Sayings set. I added some black pen to fill in the flower centres and layered the panel onto some black card before adding to the white card front. Finished with some black gems.
We made good time on our trip north - just over 1hr 15 mins. I have to say I slept most of the way! I don't travel well - get a bit queasy on some of the windy roads and going to sleep helps.
Over the past few days I've made some more Christmas cards using ephemera and patterned papers. I got the bulk of my overseas Christmas cards sent off this week... wanted to make sure they arrived in time.
So here are the five cards... using some sketch design from Jess Crafts for some and a design from Natasha Foote.
I still have heaps of the ephemera from the kit I bought. I really love how quick and easy these are to make.
We are heading away for the weekend to our friends at Mangawhai. Been awhile so looking forward to a quiet weekend. I'll be catching up on some you tube videos.
I got a bit more organised today and was able to watch the start of today's episode of the Craft Roulette challenge and as it was a rainy afternoon, I got to go into the craft room and played along.
The wheel spin revealed the following parameters
Project: Fancy Fold
Colours: Aquarium
Element: November
Randon: 3-item cluster.
I decided to try a Pop up Front Step Panel Card.... sounds complicated but it really isn't too hard. I found a tutorial on Pinterest. (Here)
Recently my friend Suna started following Craft Roulette and I've seen my friend Arlene entering... so over the weekend I watched Episode #189 and today I made a quick card. I am too late to submit it to the challenge, but still sharing it as I really loved what I made.
Cathy Zeilske was the guest and it was her card that inspired me. The wheel spun the following
Project - Guest's choice - Cathy chose A2 for the base
Colour - Forest colours
Element - starting with "H"
Random - Postage stamp or mark.
Here's what I came up with, inspired by Cathy's use of the Waffle Flower's Postage Collage Die
I added the rub-on first to white card and the die cut it. Love this arty rub-ons. I stamped the sending hugs, postal lines and the little hearts from the Waffle Flower Postage Collage stamp set. I added the die cut panel with dimensional tape. Love the look of white on white.
Entering this into the Happy Little Stampers - Anything Goes with Die cuts challenge
Our NZ swap group challenge this month was set by Maxine...Steampunk. Way outside my comfort zone but did some Pinterest searching, found some Steampunk images - from Dreamy Paper Art on Etsy. And did a bit of searching around my stash and found a metal clock face and some cogs.
