Anything Goes

Hi Guys

Well it is that time of the week again for Tuesday Taggers and for once I am on time.  It was my turn this week to set the challenge and I chose 'Anything Goes'.  When I chose it several months ago I did not realise how busy I would be.

I have chosen to do a hallowe'en card which is not normally something that I take part in.  However I have regional training on Friday and a Craft fair so Hallowe'en is the order of the day.

I have used a card base of Old Olive with a mat of Basic Black and Confetti White, which has been punched with the scallop edge punch.  I have edged the scallop edge with Old Olive.  To make the pumpkin I have used Pumpkin Pie cardstock which I have edged with Pumpkin Pie ink and a dauber.  I made a stencil for the face and then sponged on with Basic Black. The stalk for the pumpkin is Old Olive, again sponged with Old Olive.  I have used the tiny tags set and stamped and punched the boo stamp.

I hope you like and until next time

Christmas in July

Hi Guys

Well this week was my turn to choose the theme on Tuesday Taggers and I chose Christmas in July.  We all know that every year we say that we are going to start our cards earlier than last year and each year we (most of us anyway) get them done in the last week of November whilst panicking about other things Christmassy.

I have done three cards that use Old Olive and Chocolate Chip, not normal christmas colours but mix them with the Serene Snowflakes stamp set and dazzling diamonds and you are set for a season of bling.

To get the Dazzling Diamonds to stick I have used the two way glue pen to add dots to the snowflakes.

I have used the Old Olive satin ribbon from the Mini Catty to embellish and here you go.

Tuesday Taggers - Red, Gold and Green

Hi Guys

This week on Tuesday Taggers we have been challenged to use Red, Green and Gold, we were then told that we could make it Christmassy or not. I thought about making my entry so that it was not Christmassy but it didn't happen.

I am doing punchart with my class this evening so I made something to go with the theme.

Everything I used to make this card is from Stampin' Up! The card stock is Old Olive, Whisper White, Real Red. I have used the stamp set Wondrous Gift, Whisper White grosgrain ribbon and Scallop circle punch.

I punched 5 times from Old olive card stock and cut them into quarters. I have then placed them to look like a tree and then matted and layered it.

I hope you like and until next time
