Quirky Crafts ATC swap - May - Colours

This months theme for the ATC swap over at Quirky Crafts is "COLOURS".

I chose Blue and Pink.

Quirky Crafts Challenge - Trains, Planes and Automobiles

The challenge on Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog is "Trains,Planes and Automobiles".

I have made a card using the only stamp I have in my stash that would fit in with this challenge!

I have used a page from an old atlas as my backing paper and then stamped onto cream card the car and the messages. The car and the enjoy the journey are T!m stamps and the Happy Birthday is one from Butterfly Kisses.

Scraps!!!

There was a challenge this week over at Quirky Crafts Forum for you to use your scraps on a card.

Thats exactly what I have done. The backing paper is a piece of scrap from my pile and the flower petals are scraps of paper too. The flower petals are the new T!m sizzix die tattered flowers. The flower stem is made by using another of T!ms new dies the Elegant Flourishes and this paper has been in my stash for such a long time. I was dabbling with Alcohol Inks a while ago. The button is a spare one from a blouse and the ribbon was from an old card.

Dog Tag!!!

My son is off out tonight for a friends birthday. They are all dressing up with the theme of "Army".

Ryan asked me to make him a dog tag!


This is how it started out - originally it came from build a bear workshop.




This is the finished results using my TSS metal and my trusted sharpies to age the metal.

Crafting Corner Variety Swap - Wood

The theme for this months variety swap is "Wood".

I have done some wood burning for my project. I stamped an image onto some balsa wood and then got my wood burny tool out and burned along the lines. I then added colour with my pro markers. I put it into a frame and there was a slight gap at either side so I cut some kebab sticks and placed them in the frame.

Allsorts challenge - stitching

The challenge this week at allsorts is to use stitching in your work. I have used faux stitching all around the edge of my card.

The card is based on a sketch from crazy4challenges

The butterfly can be used in the Our Creative Corner challenge which is butterflies.

This can also be used for Sunday Stampers challenge this week as its a free choice week to celebrate 100 challenges.

This card can also be used for the allsorts challenge this week which is petals and pearls.
