More Inspiration!

The Challenge for this month is: Flowers.
The Prize from Altenew: $50 gift certificate 

Altenew donated the Build A Garden set to the Die Cut Divas' and I believe we all chose different sets.  I love mine and I love how this turned out. 

You an check out my blog at A Bit of This and That for the material list for this card.

Happy December to you all.

Merry Christmas from the Divas

 

Merry Christmas to you all.....

It's Christmas Day and today I have a Birthday card to share!   My friend has a birthday a couple of days ago so I did a floral card for her.   

Our sponsor this month is Altenew. They generously will be giving our winner a $50 gift certificate to their online store. 

And our theme is Flowers -   I'm a big lover of Altenew products and have ALOT.   This month, Altenew kindly provided us with a Build a Garden set.  I chose to get Morning Aster set ... Just love it. 

I used some Altenew Grey ink to stamp the flower and then used the stencils to add the colour.  I used Altenew Burnt Red and Mahogany Bark inks for the flowers and Eucalyptus and Forest Fern for the leaves.   The sentiment is from Altenew Sentiment Strips 2 that I stamped onto a flag die (from LDRS sentiment stack die)   I used the matching die to cut out the flower.  The background was made with Altenew Dotty Circles 3D embossing folder.  I used the ink left on my blender brush to add some blending around the edges. 

As you read this, Christmas Day is almost done here in NZ.   Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas

Christmas Gnome

 Hi there.  

Our theme is  "Anything to do with Holidays (Any Holidays)-"  I've chosen to make a Christmas card. 

 I don't have any Kat Scrappiness stamps or dies so Arlene sent me some stamped and die cut.  This little gnome is from Christmas Gnome stamp set.  I coloured with him alcohol markers.  I used Gina K Master Layout dies to cut my red panel.  My pink arched die is from Hero Arts. My sentiment is from a Waffle Flower set.  A few die cut stars finished my card.  

Do come and join our challenge (here)

This is the card I created featuring the Christmas Gnomes Stamp Set. I went almost non-traditional colors. I added a bit of pink and a brighter green.

Easter Blessings with Kat Scrappiness

Wait! What? Did I type, Easter? Really? Yup, I'm not a fan of winter. So, I'm just skipping ahead a few months (ok, more than a few). I guess, it's not even really winter yet. Backing up a bit, let's start at the beginning. For the month of November, we're sponsored by Kat Scrappiness who will be giving our winner a fabulous gift package, valued at $100. However, due to shipping costs, the winner must have a valid US mailing address. 

Our challenge this month is

So, you see, I just picked Easter! Here's my card

For my card, I used Kat Scrappiness' Layered Tulip Bouquet die set and Never Ending Oval Craft dies. For specific details on how I created my card, please check out my foleysfriend blog.

We'd love to see your Holiday creations in our gallery this month. This might be a great opportunity to work on your Christmas cards - or Easter cards, LOL!

Have a great, crafty day!
