CCT Bright Colours

This weeks theme at CCT is Bright Colours. I have made a super quick card using My Favorite Things More Monsters stamps and dies and Lawn Fawn papers.

Hope you all have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend, we're off to watch some track cycling on Saturday.

CCT Anything But A Card

The theme at CCT this week is Anything But A Card. I made a bottle treat hanger to match my daughter's birthday card to put on her bottle of Prosecco. The papers are Maja design and I have added lots of flowers and a Martha Stewart punched butterfly and Magnolia fronds.

CCT Ribbon or Lace

We have another nice and easy challenge at CCT this week, Ribbon or Lace. I have made a cute tag which I cut with a Mama Elephant die from Kraft card. The papers are Lawn Fawn and the cute panda is from the Mama Elephant Pandamonium set. The sentiment is also Mama Elephant and I cut the circles with Nestabilities. The ric-rac has been in my stash for years!

I am also entering my tag in the Seven Hills Crafts monthly challenge.

CCT Spring Fever

This weeks challenge at CCT is Spring Fever. I have used one of my favourite Penny Black images and have coloured it with Distress Markers and added a little bit of glitter to the flowers. I have used a Tonic die for the background and Nesties to cut out the image.

CCT Here Comes The Summer

This weeks theme at CCT is Here Comes The Summer. I have used one of my new Penny Black stamps and coloured the image with Distress Markers. The image is cut out using a Spellbinders die and I have added some flowers and glitter. The paper is from the Prima pack I got free with a magazine and the swirls are a Tonic die. 

I hope you will be able to join us this week as we have a fab prize. I have pre ordered a couple of Tonic dies so I am hoping they will arrive this week so I can have a play with them over the Bank holiday weekend. The cycling is going ok and I bought myself a new road bike last Sunday and am hoping for some nice weather so I can get some practice in, I'm still not overly confident!

CCT Splish Splash

This weeks theme at CCT is Splish Splash. I have used another of my old stamps, this one is from a Woodware set. I have coloured the image with Sakura watercolour pencils and added Glossy Accents to the bubbles and a little bit of glitter to the water. I used Nestabilities to cut out the image and mat layer and a Stampin Up stamp and matching punch for the sentiment.

CCT Anything But A Card

The challenge at CCT this week is Anything but a Card. I have decorated a gift box which I got from Stampin Up with an old Magnolia Santa stamp. I think this is my favourite Christmas stamp and I use it every year. The DP is retired Stampin Up and I have distressed the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.I coloured the image with Distress Inks and also edged the die cut circle with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I have also added some Fran-tage to the image.

 I have decorated the sides of the box with some hessian and lace and added a small tag which I cut with a Tim Holtz sizzix die. The message on the tag was stamped with a set of alphabet stamps which I got from the NEC about 5 years ago, they were a bargain at £1 for the set. This is the first time I've used them but I'm sure they will get lots more use now. The little jingle bells are from Ebay.

I really enjoyed decorating the box and am hoping to do a few more for Christmas pressies.

I am also entering this into this weeks Magnolia Down Under Challenge which is Jingles Bells and the Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia Challenge which is Vintage or Shabby Chic.

CCT Animal Magic

The theme at CCT this week is Animal Magic.I have used a super cute Penny Black image for my card which I coloured with Distress Inks and then cut out with a Spellbinders Nestability die. The papers are retired Stampin Up and the snowflake is also a Nestability die. I added a bit of glitter to the image and some gems to the card.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have a fab prize from Bunny Zoe.

CCt Anything Goes

This weeks challenge at CCT is nice and easy, Anything Goes. I have made another quick card with a Stampin Up image and embossing folder. The stamp has been stamped onto a Spellbinders Nestability die cut and I added a piece of blue seam binding.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge. Have a good week.

CCT - So Distressing

Can't believe it's Thursday again and time for another CCT challenge. This weeks challenge is So Distressing and we are sponsored by Bugaboo Digi Stamps. I have coloured this cutie, Ava Mistletoe Fairy with Copics and used Distress Inks around the edges. I have added a few punched snowflakes and glitter and gems. Her dress isn't so bright, not sure why it looks like this on the photo!

Lily of The Valley Christmas Card

I've finally got round to putting another card on my blog! I've actually made all my Xmas cards now and about another 60 to sell but haven't got round to photographing them, hopefully later today or tomorrow.

I've used a Lily of The Valley stamp for this card and some old

paper I found in my box. The circles are cut with Nesties and the image is coloured with Copics, the flowers are a Marianne die which I bought last year and never used.

I am entering this card into this week's Lily of The Valley challenge which is to make a card for someone special.

Have a good Thursday and enjoy the lovely sunny weather.

Quick + Easy Penny Black Card

At last another card. I haven't been making any cards at all but my daughter asked me to make her one for her friend's birthday so I thought it was about time I made the effort again.
I have used one of my favourite Penny Black images, coloured with Copics, Nesties and some scrummy gingham ribbon (which is straight IRL).
Can you believe it but I haven't bought any crafting goodies since the summer and didn't want any for Xmas either, hubby is in shock!!
