ATS Sketch Challenge #2

Hello everybody, its Sketch Challenge #2 this week over at Addicted To Stamps challenge blog.

I've tried to stick to the sketch but turned it on its side (or was it me looking at it the wrong way after I'd printed if off! LOL).

The stamped images are from the Birdie Blossom stamp set by Hunkydory. As the image is quite complex I tried to keep the background papers fairly simple, hope it works. Finished off with a touch of glitter glue, ribbon and Card Candi (Craftwork Cards) in the corners.

ColourQ Challenge 152

Hi everyone, this is my first entry for the ColourQ challenge, hi to everybody over there! When I saw the colour selection for this week, I thought my new Chapter One paper pad by Kaisercraft would come in useful!

Blue, green and grey  papers from Chapter One selection, sheet music paper from Victorian Garden by Echo Park.

Sentiment stamp, template to cut out top flower and Card Candi all by Craftwork Cards, leaf stamp and manuscript background stamps by Hero Arts.

Speedy Fox and Friends challenge 115

Hi everyone, this is a card I've made for Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 115 to make a blue and green card.

I had in mind to make something completely different using a new stamp I bought recently and some vellum, but as I needed to make a quick thank you card for someone, I made this. Hopefully I will have time to do my original idea later!

All materials by Craftwork Cards.

I used the Spring Fling template to cut some flowers and leaves out of embossed card from the Sweet Pea collection, stamped the butterflies using Tim Holtz distress ink, added a little banner with a stamped sentiment and some Card Candi.

Birthday Card

Hi everyone, I wanted to make a card using these lovely flourish peel-offs which I saw on TV and thought they would make a nice embellishment - they were a little hard to source but I managed to find some at Wild Warehouse.

I cut out the flowers from papers from my stash using the Spring Fling template by Craftwork Cards. Message band, card blank and Card Candi also by Craftwork Cards.

Hugs, Sue xx

Sweet Pea card 5

Another card with the lovely Sweet Pea collection by Craftwork Cards.

1. Cut two pieces of cream card 7" x 5.5" inches and cut a rectangle aperture 2.5" x 4" in one piece.

2. Cut out a scallop edge on the shorter ends of both pieces (optional).

3. Make score lines 1" and 2" in from all four of the shorter edges (to enable you to form your "box" shape).

4. Add a panel of embossed paper in the back of the box and two thin panels down each side on the front as shown in the photo and cover the front of the box with the striped paper.

5. Add some more of the paper and some die cut flower shapes to the back panel.

6. Apply adhesive to the scalloped edges and stick the front and back together.

7. Punch a scallop from the embossed paper and use it to mount your message. Decorate with Card Candi.
