Song Lyrics Challenge

Hi everyone, well over at  http://thecupboardtrilogychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/ our Jane has set a Song challenge. The Challenge is to make any paper crafted item. You will need to read the words of the song and interpret them through papercraft in your own way! Maybe you will choose to make something that includes wings, dance, or hero's or simply a colour that reminds you of the song. The Song Is  Bette Midler "The Wind Beneath My Wings" So I didn't need to listen to the song as I love it and know it word for word. So here is what I came up with

So if you would like to join in head over to the

First card for debbeescds DT

Hello everyone and yes it is the First of the month and it is my Fist Card as part of debbees cds DT, so please be gentle with me. When I looked at the lovely paper lots of different cards came to mind. Here is the card I made

It is an A4 piece of paper folded in half to make an A5 size card. But what I did is printed one of the backing papers onto it. I then cut a window in the front and put acetate to create a window effect. On the inside, I use one of the other backing papers and the large topper, made some bunting and stamped Happy Birthday onto it. I used card candi on the ends to look like it was holding the bunting up. I made a W shaped piece of paper to fix to the bottom to hold it up.

Martha Stewart Punch's

Hi everyone, well I have been playing with my new Martha Stewart punches today, using them to go around the circle. I cut them using my X-Cut circle shapes on scrap paper first just to see what size would work. Here is the cards I made.

I used Navy and Green card stock, Card Candi, Navy and Green Ribbon, and a Lili of the Valley Stamped image. I cut a large circle in the navy and a smaller one in the green. Used my Martha Stewart conner punch making sure the top of the pattern on the punch is at the top edge of the paper. I then cut each of them in half-used one of my border punches in green and navy card for the middle.

March Sketch Challenge

Well hello everyone it 1st March 2012 and it is time for this month’s challenge over at The Craft Cupboard on Facebook. After last month I have made a few changes to it, I am now saying any 3 flower or butterfly embellishments and if you are making a male card, you can add 3 male embellishments. the winner of this month will become the guest designer for next month. The closing date is 8pm on the 26th March. Good luck to everyone.

Ok here is the layout

Here is my card

I used yellows and orange I heat embossed the white background with flowers and then went over it with a yellow ink pad. Once the card was finished I got gold glitter and put it into the middle of each of the flowers on the background and the images are from Debs cd over at debbeescds.co.uk. 

When picking your colour scheme look at your images (if they are on the computer) and then see if you have a backing paper to go with it......or look at your backing papers first if you are using a Digi image.
Ok here is the guest designer Jane Bryan cards 

I just love the colours all blend together. 

So well done

I would like to wish each and everyone who enters my challenge GOOD LUCK and have fun too x

Ok, the winner has been pick by random.org and thank god for that as there were 14 lovely cards made this month. So the winner is the lovely Valerie Whitlock with this lovely card

The Month Of Romance!!

Ok, it is that time of the month for http://debbeescdsblogspot.blogspot.com Challenge, with 4 fab free papers for you to print off and make your card. This is what I came up with

When I looked at the paper I just knew what I was going to make, it is a half gate-fold card. I wanted the card to look like it was a panel on the front  so it is a mirror image of itself, what I did on one side I did the same on the other, but when you open it, it still looks like it one panel

 I used a Martha Stewart punch in gold and white down the edge of both sides I also added the love heart swirl in gold then added a red heart on top, flowers and card candi. to finish it off I added an I and U on to the hearts to make it say I love you using the main heart.

If you want to join this challenge just pop along to http://debbeescdsblogspot.blogspot.com to download your free paper.
