Winter Wishes

I have used the Carta Bella Warm and Cozy collection to create this Christmas card, I used the digital collection - you can purchase it from SNAP CLICK Supply, you can find it HERE.

I used a stamp from my stash to create the mittens, sorry I'm not sure where it came from - I stamped it onto some of the elements from the collection.  I fussy cut the topper and used foam pads to add some dimension.  Everything is from the digital collection except the ribbon, which is from my stash.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

September Rudolph Days Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes

CD Sunday Plus Challenge #45 - Anything Goes

Anyone for Cake

This is the last card that I will be creating with my Authentique Party collection, I am using the rest of the papers to create a mini album.

I fussy cut the cake and popped it up on a circle cut from one of the papers and I used my Die-namics Fishtail Flag dies to cut the banners.  The sentiment is a very old one from Craft Creations that I had in my stash.

Life of the Party

This is another masculine card that I have created with my Authentique Party Collection, it is rather unusual to find a collection that is perfect for both male and female makes.

I used three of the papers and a topper from one of the Cut-Apart sheets, there are two different Cut-Apart sheets in this collection.  I cut the sentiment from another of the Cut-Apart toppers and used my Tim Holtz Paper Rosette die to create the rosette.

Silence Speaks

I decided to have a play with my Stamperia Forest Collection and create a card folio.

There are lots of beautiful animal toppers in the collection and I used this gorgeous fox for the front cover.

This is the inside, on the left side there is a flap, on the right side I have created a waterfall and in the centre there is a pocket containing a small card.

I placed a tag on the other side of the right hand flap and this is the front and back.

Cards for Men

I have several cards featured in the October edition of Making Cards Magazine, the craft papers that come with this edition are all suitable for creating cards for men and boys. I think most of us find masculine cards a challenge so pick up a copy and you will not only have toppers and papers but lots of inspiration as well.

These are just a few of my cards that are in the magazine.

Four simple designs, the purpose of these cards is to show what you can create using just the free papers - all I have added is some cardstock, sentiments, ribbon and card candi.

September

I have created another project with my Authentique Calendar Collection - this time I have made a double Z-fold card.

I love the beautiful Autumn colours in the September papers, there are lots of fabulous Cut-Apart toppers and sentiments.  The second topper is hidden behind the one on the front until you open the card out.

I also added a little pocket in the centre to hold a tag and a journal card.

Autumn Harvest

I have cut into my Authentique Calendar Collection at last, I love this collection - there are four sheets for each Month, a sheet of toppers, one of sentiments, one patterned papers and one solids and they are all double sided.

I was inspired by Kathy Clement, she makes the most wonderful Calendar Easel Cards - mine is not as embellished or complex as hers.

I fussy cut all of the elements and used foam pads to create some dimension, the sunflowers are a Marianne CreaTables die and the buttons and twine are from my stash.

New Home

A friend asked me to create a New Home card for them, I have created three in total so that they would have a choice and this is one of them.

I used my Crafter's Companion Moonbeam Meadow CD, the topper and all of the papers are from the CD, the flowers actually match the colours on the papers, my camera is obviously playing tricks on me.

I would like to enter this card into the CD Sunday Plus Challenge 43.

Butterfly Doily

This is the third card that I have created using the Blue Butterfly download from Polly's Paper Studio, it is another of her Dollar Downloads.

These downloads are great value for money, everything that you need is included, all you need to do is print it out - there are usually at least three card designs for inspiration as well.  I have used all of the elements except the little tickets to create this card, I just added a doily and flowers cut from co-ordinating cardstock.
