I Put a Spell on You at Make My Monday

This is the second Halloween card I made, as I said in my previous post, I really don't do Halloween, but make just two cards a year for my grandsons.
 
I used the SU cookie cutter set again. I actually think these images are rather fun! It's a pity the fluorescent glittery green eyes don't show up in the photo! Don't forget to check out all the other inspiration at Make My Monday.

Halloween at Cardz 4 Guyz

This week the theme at Cardz 4 Guyz is Boo (Halloween) or Autumn thank you card. Now I’m not big on Halloween but my two grandsons are. This is the first card I made using the SU Cookie  Cutter Halloween set. I coloured the little fella with Copics and used up some snippets of paper.


I’m so glad I got ahead with my DT cards as my craft room is a bit of a dumping ground at the moment, and the rest of the house is in total chaos!  I keep telling myself it will all be worth it when it’s finished. Meanwhile here is a taste of what I mean.
 

  



I’m also going to pop in to the Playground while I can, some light relief is needed!

Animal Antics at Make My Monday

It's time for a new challenge at Make My Monday and the theme for you this time is Animal Antics.
It fitted in very nicely with my step- great -niece's 4th birthday so this has winged it's way to her.

I had bought this stamp set and matching punch quite a while ago and never used it, and I'm on a bit of a mission to use my NBUS mountain!The hardest part of this card was hiding the green panel inside! I think the fox is rather cute, I must play with it some more and make some of the other animals that I've seen on Pinterest.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you all create.

Architecture at Cardz 4 Guyz

It's my turn to choose the challenge at Cardz for Guyz and I have chosen "Architecture". This gives plenty of scope and I had a hard time deciding what to use. Eventually I went with another unused Michael Powell stamp.
I stamped it on some smooth watercolourpaper using the Misti, which was a life saver as this stamp really did not want to give a clear image. Even after 3 stampings it was still not very clear, but I figured it would add to the watercolour effect! I used some watercoour paints and lots of water.  Then I found a tall narrow card, lurking at the bottom of my card blank box, a leftover from a QVC buy!

I'm looking forward to seeing your makes, and don't forget to have a look at my teamies' makes as well.

Rudolph Day and NBUS

Only two more Rudolph Days to go till the Big Day! I wasnt sure if I would be able to get into the craft room to make a card this month as the builders have just knocked through and it is chaotic to say the least! But I managed it and used a NBUS embossing folder so I can also join in with Darnell's NBUS challenge.

I think it will look familiar to some of you - it's a Christmas version of That Folder! A very CAS card which actually looks better IRL!

Autumn Colours

Hello there, it's time for a new challenge at Make My Monday and this time it was my turn to choose a theme. I have gone for Autumn Colours.

I have used yet another NBUS item, Totally Trees from Stampin' Up. I picked some nice autumnal shades of yellow and orange, plus a green and burgundy ink. I wrapped some green, red and gold twine around the panel then added a round sentiment ( this was not the original plan, it was to cover up a smudge of ink!) I think the sentiment is an old Woodware set.

Don't forget to check out what the rest of the team have made.

Nature at Cardz 4 Guyz.

It's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz and this week the theme is Nature. I decided to play with Craft Artist and made this card using the Craftscapes digikits.

I printed off some extra embellishments and fussy cut them out before adding to the circular image. I really ought to play with CA more often than I do.

Hope you can join in with the challenge.

Something for a Child at MMM

The challenge this week at Make My Monday is "Something for a Child" which fitted quite nicely with making a card for Roy's great-nieces's 7th birthday. I decided to make her a girlie card and used the SU T-shirt set.
The banner is a Little Claire set that I've had for ages and never used. I really wanted to put Happy Birthday Polly but couldn't fit it in.

Look forward to seeing what you come up.

Something begining with D

The challenge this week at Cardz 4 Guyz is "Something beginning with D" I went for dog, purely because I wanted to use the Crazy Dogs stamps which had been waiting pateiently for me to give them their first outing!

I stamped him onto some taupe cardthen watercoloured him, he looks a bit streaky here but not IRL. White gel pen for his eyebrows - do dogs have eyebrows? Some glossy accents on his eyes and a wash of green to ground him. The sentiment is a Dylusions one, which I thought suited the look on his face! I look forward to seeing what you create. As always don't forget to check out the res of the DT's makes.

Rudolph Day- August

Well here we are again at Rudolph Day, only 3 more to go!! I decided to go through my box of bits and pieces,as opposed to snippets, and found some decoupage bits already made up. Time to turn them into cards.
It's a long time since I made a DL card, but it seemed to work quite well with the round decoupage and a gold embossed sentiment.

Then I made up a couple more,so that's three m0re for the box!
