Kevin

Hi good morning!  Hope you are having a fabulous weekend. It's time for a new challenge at One Stitch At A Time and the theme this week is Embellish It, so a very easy one again this week.

 

I decided to do a male card this time as it's been some time since I did one and also because when I saw this stamp from Cardmad Fairy.... with the same name as my son.. Kevin, I just had to have him! For my embellishments I used some gems, punched stars and that gold Number 1 Cup which I had bought a long time ago. I did the football papers myself and then used my cuttlebug circles embossing folder. 

I am entering my card in these challenges today.

For my card I used my Father Christmas stamp which I had bought last year from New Zealand and I followed this sketch from Fairymoon Crafts Challenge 31.

Earth Fairy

Hi girls, here is a card I made using this gorgeous Earth Fairy stamp from Pollycraft. Isn't she soooo sweet, I am really getting hooked on these adorable Pollycraft stamps....

So....  as always.... I have coloured stamp with my promarkers and again my papers are from the Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine. The border punch is Martha Stewart and flowers I got those from Michael's. It's the first time I'm using these.. still haven't used all the goodies I got from there.......he he :))

As you can see I tried that distressing again, which I done on my card yesterday. I loved it so much that I wanted to have a go with it again. This time I used a thicker card and I think it came out a bit better... some glitter again, green this time, but have to click on the picture to see it shine!!!!

Hope you like it.

White on White

O wow what a day!!! After work I have been rushing around non-stop.. First it was to the airport as my brother arrived from Australia for a holiday, then home, prepared a little snack for the kids, then took Keith, my older son, to private lessons, and then straight to the dentist for Kevin ...... woooh ... I'm exhausted!

But no more of my boring stuff... today I have my card for this week's challenge at Crafty Sentiments and yay... I was also asked to choose the theme for this week!! So after some thought I decided on White on White as I thought it would make a lovely snowy Christmas Card, and would be another addition to add to my pile of Christmas cards, he he  :)))

For my card I used Amy with Present, that is still a freebie if you still haven't got her, and today I decided to try something different to try and create a snow effect.... I just started scraping the edges of the paper and then added some glitter. I still have to get some practice on this, but I think it came out ok for a first time!

To do the snowflake I used an embossing folder which was a freebie in the Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine and then after the embossing I cut around it, adding lots of glitter.

This is the sketch that I followed..

I really hope you will join us this week and don't forget that next week we will be having a bloghop to launch the new Christmas images ..... you can win two new stamps.... so you really can't miss out on this one!

I am entering my card in these challenges..
