Yummy Cupcake

The papers are all scraps so I don't know where they came from ,the cupcake and sentiments are from JustRite.I used an embossing tool and a coloured pencil to make my faux stitching.

Christmas in September

It doesn't matter what time of year it is making a Christmas card always gives me more pleasure than any other themed card.I've used the layout from Card Patterns 'sketch 33' and from Allsorts challenge' Snowflakes in September'

I cut and folded the basic card then cut two triangles of snowflake paper (a magazine freebie) stitched them into place.The snowman and sentiment are a rub on which came from a large sheet of Christmas images bought from my local supermarket. I inked the edges of the card and punched some snowflakes in blue and silver .A silver ribbon to finish.

Cool Zone

I've done my ironing ,had a quick tidy up which means I have time to make a card.I must try and be better organised this week,hardly made any cards last week.

Secret Crafter Saturday challenge 49 theme "Teenage Boys".

Saturday Cardpatterns sketch 32.

Cut and folded a piece of card to the right size. Machine stitched papers ( the papers came in a small book 15cm square entitled Autumn ) . The three buttons were all clear and I stuck some paper behind them .The words are Crystal bubble letters. The image is from Woodware. I love the grungy colours, I guess it's OK for a teenage boy.

Flowers

Card Patterns sketch 29 and Daring cardmakers anniversary theme. I've managed to combine two challenges today.I covered a piece of card stock with pink paper then cut a piece of vellum to go over the top . the heart was covered in silver wrapping paper then stamped and heat embossed .A few beads on some florist wire,punched flowers in pink and vellum and a silver ribbon .All these bit'n'bobs came from my stash. Not one of my better attempts.

Summer

It took me a while to make this one,looking through recent challenges I decided I could combine three challenges together.Card Patterns sketch 28,Allsorts challenge 14 an English Garden and Pink Elephant Summer challenge 28.As you can see I've used lots of paper from denadesigns ,they have really good mixed paper packs ,this one is called 'Fleur'. I love the little bunny image.
