Christmas Card Challenge # 9 - Anything Goes!

Anything Goes!

This week's theme at Christmas Card Challenges is super-easy and I've had the chance to make a card using a digi I bought before Christmas and still had to use.

This is my card:

This lovely penguin is from Marina Neira and is called Messenger Penguin.

I've chosen an orange card, maybe a bit strange as Christmas color but it matches perfectly with these papers from First Edition (Christmas Joy) and can be used for both boys and girls!

My teamies cards are just wonderful!

Have a look at them and be inspired!

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 243 - Colour Combo

Welcome to a new C.R.A.F.T. Challenge!

This week we want to see a colour combo on your cards or projects:

And this is my card:



This week I'm particularly happy because I've had the occasion to work for the first time with a Kenny K digi stamp. It is called Spaced and it was perfect to be colored following the combo!

In addition to an absolutely new image, this week I've also used a new light blue doily I found while looking for party supplies for my daughter's birthday and some new sequins.

Kenny K Downloads is one of the fabulous sponsors we have this week so let's start working on your new card and enter our challenge!

A Treasured Card.

Good morning!

I've been thinking about this blog post for about one week.

The reason is that I made a card a long time ago, one of those I love, I treasure, I keep secret waiting for the perfect moment to show it.

The challenge over at A Day for Daisies gave me (in almost one week) the motivation to share it with you.

This is the card:

You won't probably find it anything special and I admit I've probably made more beautiful cards but this is one of my favourite, if not my favourite!

I've used "Treasure" digi stamp from A Day for Daisies and colored it with watercolor pencils and glitter.

Very clean and simple but yes, my fav!

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Well... the only thing I have to do is to click and my card will leave for the world...

Stickers on a Card!

I was clearing a basket full of undefined stuff when I found some lovely stickers my daughter gave me for Christmas.

I immediately remembered that this week's challenge at Meljen's Design it's all about Stickers!

It was the perfect reason to make a card, enter a challenge and use my stickers!

This is the card:

Aren't these lilac glittered hearts lovely?

I used Teeny Mouse Hugs from Meljen's Designs shop and patterned papers from TPC.

I added a heart sticker on the inside, too

I forgot to tell my daughter, hope she'll be happy to see that I've used them for one of my craft projects!

This card is for the following challenges:

Christmas Card Challenge # 8 - One Layer Card

Welcone back to Christmas Card Challenges!

This week we want to see Christmas cards with only one layer. Easy, isn't it?

This is my card:

I've used the fabulous Holly Tree by DigiStamp Boutique: I simply printed it on white cardstock, colored it with Copics, added tons of red stickles glue on the berries and lots of green rhinestones here and there.

There is also the Mistletoe Tree with which I've made a light green version of this card, but I'll show you another time!

Your inspiration to make Christmas cards is gone away with decorations? Have a look at all the other creations from the DT, you'll surely be inspired!

What Fun!

I've just finished a card I can't wait to share with you.

I saw a sketch and I immediately had an idea for a card which I've just finished!

This is the sketch:

The challenge is the new January Challenge at Whimsie Doodles!

Although I have several of their digi stamps, I don't remember if I've ever entered one of their challenges.

This sketch is so lovely and funny!

This is my card:

(I'm sorry for the horrible picture but it's a rainy day here and it's also getting dark so I couldn't do anything better...).

I've used "Have a Seat" collection of digi stamps: I've had them for ages but I hadn't had any occasion to use them. This was THE perfect card to put them into good use.

(You can find the entire collection here in Whimsie Doodles shop).

I colored them with my Copics and decoupaged some details. Card base is from Die Cut with a View.

Ribbons and a key charm have been added to decorate the card.

I didn't know I was feeling sketchy before having a look at this fantastic sketch!

Oldie but a Goodie Challenge: New Beginnings

Crocodiles for Valentine's Day.

You won't believe but I'm still making Christmas cards... or maybe I'm already making Christmas card.

Or better: I've never stopped making Christmas cards!

Only yesterday I made two cards and some tags...

But I'm also making some Valentine cards, both for DT assignements and for pure pleasure.

Today I want to show you one that I made "just to have fun":

I LOVE this digi stamp called Crocodile Love from The Paper Shelter!

I colored them with my Copics and assembled a light blue card with touches of red, just to remember it's a love-themed card. I added a broad light blue organza ribbon with little hearts on the edges and another ribbon with hearts and Valentine's words. 

These crocodiles are so cute!

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 242 - Decoupage

Good morning everybody!

And welcome to a new C.R.A.F.T. Challenge!

This week we want you to show your crafting abilities and to do some decoupage on your card or craft project.

I made something different for this challenge: I decoupaged a cork board.

I'm trying to declutter and clean my craft room and I need a cork board to pin ideas and inspirations. I don't even know if I ever find the space on the wall, for this reason my cork board is very small:

Back in December I won a C.R.A.F.T. Challenge and I was so lucky to be able to choose from the lovely digi papers by Trimgym's digistamps and images.

I cut four stripes and decoupaged them on the wood frame of the cork board. I then cut four small circles and glued them on the pins.

We have lovely sponsors this week and great prizes so you won't miss the oppurtunity to win one!

Have a look at the projects of my teamies... I've had a sneak peak and they are amazing!

(Oh yes... I'm a fan of Peppa Pig!).

Christmas Card Challenge # 7: Use Polka Dots

Welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge with a fabulous theme: use Polka Dots!

I love dots!

And for my card this week I used lots of them!

I used a stocking digi stamp I received from Broken Box Stock and printed it in different sizes. I colored them with my Copics and some glitter and glued them to a baker's twine.

Have a look at my teamies' blogs, their work is amazing this week!

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 241 - Christmas.

Welcome to a new C.R.A.F.T Challenge and this week the theme is "Christmas"!

I'm trying to declutter my craft room and this year I've decided that Christmas papers must remain easily accessible for the whole year since I make at least one Christmas cards per week...

Today I want to show you some new tags:

I've been inspired by the images of one of our sponsors, Imagine That!.

It's a set of 10 elements, 3 ornaments and 7 sentiments and it's called Elegant Ornaments. They are on sale now (you can find them here).

Imagine That! is one of our generous sponsors this week: you may win three sets from their lovely range!

I printed the ornament on a background paper by Pink Petticoat and added the sentiment and some gold touches with rhinestones and ribbon.

They are elegant, aren't they?

For all challenge details, sponsors, prizes and for lots more inspiring projects have a look here.
