Craft Your Passion GDT

I have been invited to GDT for the Craft Your Passion Challenge for April and this is the first of my cards.

The theme is always Anything Goes and I have used a fabulous image provided by our sponsor Kenny K.  I coloured my image with Spectrum Noir markers before cutting it out and layering it up using Spellbinders circle and scalloped circle dies.

The papers with stars on are from Craft Creations - they are actually Christmas papers and have been in my stash for ages.  I made the striped paper by colouring a background with my Spectrum Noir markers and stamping the stripes using an Impression Obsession stamp.  The sentiment is a Paula Pascual stamp from Personal Impressions and I have added some die cut and punched stars to embellish.

Our sponsor for this challenge is:

Kenny K

DEC 25

It's time for a new challenge at Winter Wonderland and the theme this week is:

Dies and Punches

We would like to see at least one die and one punch used on your creations.
  

I have used a gorgeous image from Kenny K, one of our sponsors this week.

I coloured my image with ProMarkers and added lots of glitter before cutting her out with a scalloped circle die and layering her onto a circle die cut.

The papers and sentiment are from the Simple Stories Cozy Christmas collection, I used a Woodware corner punch to shape the corners of the sentiment.

Finally I added a bow tied with green ribbon from my stash with a punched snowflake on top.  I punched three snowflakes with a tonic punch and glued them together to make it more substantial - the pearl in the middle of the snowflake is from my stash.

On the Move

It's time for a new challenge at Winter Wonderland and our theme for this week is On the Move - your image can show movement e.g. sledging or create something with a moving part e.g. a slider card.

The snowflake is a Simon Says Stamp die cut coated with glitter and the Aurora Sparklers are from my stash - I think they may have come from the Hobby House originally.

Born to Shop

It's time for a new challenge at Crafting for all Seasons and our challenge for you this time is 'Dies and Punches', we all love to use our dies and punches so it's a nice easy one for you.

We are sponsored by Kenny K and as I wanted to make a card for a friend of mine I used an image that I already had for my card.

I have coloured my image with ProMarkers (I got my inspiration from a card I found on google, but I can't find it again to give the person credit) and made my own Card Candy by punching out some small circles and giving them a coat of 3D Crystal Lacquer - it seems that I can't make a card without it these days!  I pleated some seam binding rather than adding a bow, I felt it went better with this image.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front using the same papers and layout as the front.

Card Recipe:

Image:   Kenny K - Madison Attitude
Papers:  BoBunny - Gabrielle Collection
