Chipboard Crazy - Part 11.

Here I am again for another card in my "Chipboard Crazy" series, the cards I've made so far with tons of chipboard embellishments I found in my stash while sorting a drawer.

 

This is the 11th:

 

 

I opted for a more autumn feel, with a handmade jam jar and falling leaves.

I do love summer with its hot long sunny days and, of course, vacations but my favorite season is fall (if it doesn't rain all the time!) with its warm colors and that special light.

 

I have a couple of chipboard crazy cards to finish, stay tuned if you are interested!



Christmas Card Challenge # 42 - Anything Goes.

Welcome to the last Christmas Card Challenge for the month of September!

 

We are having a DT Call! You can read all about it here on the challenge blog!

It's a great team which you'll surely enjoy!

 

As usual, it's Anything Goes this week:

 

 

For a change, I didn't make a card but a colorful planner:

 

I colored this Santa but I had no inspiration for a card so I decided to make a Christmas planner and it turned out great!

 

The image is colored with Copics while the background paper is from Toga.

Today I'm happy to show you my card with this month image from Gerda Steiner Designs: it's Parachute Piggy which I had for free since I participated in the August Challenge.

 

Here's my card for the September challenge:

 

 

This adorable piggy digi stamp was perfect for my new paper from Bella Blvd: I colored it with Copics and positioned it with 3D dots. I then added cloud diecuts (Toga France and Taylored Expressions) and a funny sentiment (MFT).

 

Isn't it lovely?

CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for September - Mid-Month Inspiration.

Mid-September means one thing in my town: schools start.

 

And this means the very end of summer laziness, of days to fill with new projects and adventures, of mornings starting at 10 (well, my days start much earlier but I keep quiet until my daughter is ready to wake up).

 

But it also means it's time to give you some more inspiration for our CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra.

 

This is my card:

 

 

This time I chose Winter Birds - Scarf from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps and some scraps from an old 6"x6" stack from Papermania.

Sweet Little Heart Tags.

Good morning!

 

I'm here today to show you some new tags I've just finished:

 

 

These cute girls and angels are from Dearie Dolls and I thought they were perfect to be used in some metallic heart tags I had in my stash.

 

I've colored them with Copics and made different tags for various occasions: Get Well, Thank You and I Love You, perfect to be added to a bunch of flowers or a chocolate box!

 

In detail:

 

 

They'll be soon in my shop if you are interested.

CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for September.

Welcome September!

I love fall but I'm not sure I'm ready to see summer go, it's been a hot, lovely summer and I'm a bit sad to say goodbye to lazy days, craft projects and time with my daughter.

 

Anyway, it's time for a new CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra!

Here's my card:

 

 

I've chosen something a bit different this time: Skelekinz - Present (from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps). It's not a Christmas stamp but I loved her face and thought it was funny to use her in a Christmas card, maybe good for a teeneager.

I've opted for unusual colors too: black for the background and purple for the gift.

I love this girl, she makes me smile!

 

If you entered our August challenge, you can find winners here.
