Sending Special Wishes

This is the final card (so far) that I have created with the October Stamp Club kit from Craftwork Cards - I'm sure there will be some more in the future but I have this months kit to play with now!

I stamped the image and coloured it with a combination of ProMarkers and Spectrum Noir Illustrator Pens.  I then cut the image through the centre and added a sentiment from another Craftwork Cards stamp set stamped onto a white panel.

I added some black card stock behind the sentiment strip and the main card front.

Happy Birthday Wishes

The new Craftwork Cards Stamp Club kit will be out soon and I'm just getting around to sharing the cards that I made with this month's kit!

I have stamped the top half of the stamp and coloured it with a combination of ProMarkers and Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens.

The sentiment is from The DigiStamp Boutique, I printed it on white card stock and cut it to size. I just added a narrow strip of black card stock between the stamped image and the white panel.

Elegant Frame

This is the third card that I have created with the Craftwork Cards October Stamp Club add on stamps, as you can probably tell I love these stamps!

For this card I have simply coloured the image with ProMarkers and placed it behind a die cut frame that has been attached to a square cut with a Sue Wilson stitched square die.

I have used foam pads to layer everything up and just added some pearls to the corners of the frame.

Have a fabulous Birthday

This is another card that I have created with my Craftwork Cards October Stamp Club add on stamps. I got this idea from Pinterest, I quite often get ideas from Pinterest but my card never ends up looking even close to the inspiration card.

I stamped the beautiful image onto white card stock and then stamped it another two times onto some scraps.  I coloured the main image with ProMarkers leaving the very outside sections plain.

I then coloured the leaf and flower areas on one of the additional images and just the flower on the second.  I fussy cut the two extra images and layered them onto the main image with foam pads.

I then stamped a sentiment from one of the previous stamp club collections and layered everything onto some black card stock before adding it to a card base.

Wishing you a Happy Day

I have been playing with my Craftwork Cards October Stamp Club add on stamps again, this is the second one of the set that I use to create my earlier cards.

I've kept to a CAS design again, colouring my stamp with rich yellow and gold ProMarkers and adding some dotty papers from my stash.

The sentiment is also from the stamp set, I cut it into a banner shape and doodled around the edges to make is stand out a bit more.

Have a Great Day

This is one of the Craftwork Cards Stamp Club add on stamps, this is such a pretty collection I just had to get them all!

I stamped and coloured one image with ProMarkers and then masked and stamped again to create the blank box. The background is from the Sweet and Petite Julie Loves Creativity Box and the sentiment is from the A Pocket full of Paper USB.

I cut the sentiment into a banner shape and doodled around the edges, I also doodled around the outside of the card base - I think I need a bit more practice.

Get lost (in a good book)

This is my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge - the theme is Use A Real Object, I have used a paperclip and a staple on my card.

The cute little Book Worm and book are Clearly Besotted stamps, I coloured them with ProMarkers and cut the worm out with the corresponding die - I fussy cut the book as this didn't have a die.
I used a Die-namics die to cut the torn notebook edge and the graph papers are from Echo Park.  I computer generated the sentiment as I didn't have the add on stamps that came with the Book Worm set.

I would like to enter this card into this weeks Less is More Challenge 343 - Use A Real Object.

I cut them out with a Sue Wilson pierced square die and layered them up onto some green card stock, I repeated with another layer of white and green card stock before attaching them to my card front.  The sentiment is from Kraftwork cards layered onto a Tattered Lace Charisma Frames 2 die cut from the green card stock.

Caroling Snowmen

It's time for a new challenge at Christmas with the Cuties and the theme this month is Favourite Festive Digi.

I used the fun  Caroling Snowman image from our sponsor Paper Nest Dolls to create my card.

My inspiration came from a card I saw on Pinterest, of course I can't find it again now!  I coloured my snowman family with a combination of ProMarkers and Spectrum Noir Illustrator Pens before cutting them out with my Sue Wilson Pierced Ovals dies.

I printed some Pink Petticoat snowflake papers onto Kraft card stock and stamped a Lawn Fawn Sentiment.  The snowflake embellishments are a Clearly Besotted Snowflake die.

Birthday Roses

Those of you that visit my blog regularly might remember a card that I created for the Less is More Challenge using this Altenew stamp & die collection, I had a few roses left over from that card so I decided to make another and use them up.

I die cut and outline stamped my roses before colouring them with ProMarkers, I then used two different shades of ink to stamp the details on top of the coloured die cuts. I used my Misti to do this - it makes it so much easier. I then repeated the process with the leaves.

The sentiment is from another Altenew set and the enamel dots are from my stash.

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

CAS on Friday Challenge 111 - Flowers
Seize The Birthday Challenge - Birthday + Optional Topping of Anything Goes

THANK YOU so much

This is my card for this weeks Less is More Challenge, this time we have been given a sketch to follow.

I have used an Altenew stamp & die collection that was free with Issue 157 of Simply Cards & Papercraft - they are actually Christmas Roses but I think you can use them for any time of the year.

I die cut and outline stamped my roses before colouring them with ProMarkers, I then used two different shades of ink to stamp the details on top of the coloured die cuts.  I'm so pleased that I have a Misti - it makes this job so much easier.  I then repeated the process with the leaves.

I printed a sentiment from Pink Petticoat and adhered everything with 3D glue gel for dimension.
