Let it Shine #356 LIM



Hello and happy Monday!  Today's card is for the challenge over at Less is More and the theme is "Let it shine".  I have used one of my newer sets from Uniko called Christmas Sparkle and I thought it was perfect for this challenge.  For my first card, I stamped the bauble with Kaleidacolor Blue Breeze ink and then with Versamark and clear sparkle embossing powder to make it "shine".  It is hard to pick up all the sparkly beauty in the photo.  For my second card I used the same ink pad but instead of using the sparkly embossing powder, I used my Spectrum Noir sparkle pen.  It doesn't show up very well in the photo but it is pretty in real life!  Click here to take you to the Less is More challenge blog.




Thanks for looking and I will be back on Friday with another CAS-ual Fridays challenge.

Less is More #355



Hello and happy Sunday from sunny Melbourne!  My card today is for the challenge over at Less is More and it is CASEing Susan.  Happy birthday Susan!  I have chosen to colour this gorgeous "Reindeer Peeker" digi from Bugaboo Stamps. I used my Prisma pencils, fussy cut him out and adhered him to my card base with foam squares to add a bit of dimension.  I drew a frame around him with a Zig pure black marker, stamped my sentiment and drew some holly and berries in the top corner.




I made a second card using a bigger reindeer image,  die cut a rectangular stitched panel and adhered it to my card base with foam squares.  Click here to check out the Less is More challenge.


Thanks for looking and have a great week!

No automatic alt text available.

Hello and happy Friday!  Our challenge this week over at the CAS-ual Fridays challenge blog is Gratitude with attitude.  I have a lot to be grateful for and my wonderful friends are just one of the things!  For my card today, I drew a circle in pencil and stamped one of the flowers from the Mon Ami stamp set around it five times.  I coloured them with Copics and stamped the Thank U from the Bold Wishes stamp set in the middle.

Christmas Mouse

Hello, today I am playing along with the Gerda Steiner challenge for November.  This months free digi is this cute little mouse on a bauble.  I have made two cards and I coloured them both in with a combination of copics and prisma color pencils. I usually print the digi's onto Bristol card stock and colour with my Zig markers but I have run out of Bristol so I had to use normal card stock and my Zigs don't play well with normal card stock!!    I added some diamond glitter with a quickie glue pen to the hat.  The sentiments on both cards are from Festive Sentiments by Uniko. You can click here if you would like to check the challenge out for yourself.





Thanks for looking and have a good week!

CAS-ual Fridays anything but a card


No automatic alt text available.

Hello and happy Friday!  This weeks challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays is "Anything but a card"!
I chose to make some Christmas tags with the Christmas Sparkle stamp set and matching Ornament tag die.
My first tag was very quick and easy, I stamped my images with Versamark ink onto black card stock and gold heat embossed.  For my second tag I decided to make it a shaker tag.  This is also very easy with the matching dies although any circle die could be used.  I gold heat embossed this time on white card stock and filled my shaker with some star confetti I had laying around. These make pretty tags for your Christmas gifts.




If you would like the chance to win a $25 voucher to the CAS-ual Fridays shop, all you have to do is make anything but a card and link it up on the challenge blog here.  Michele will double the prize to $50 if you use CAS-ual Fridays stamps as the main focus of your card!
