CCT Stars and Stripes

Our theme at CCT this week is Stars and Stripes. I decided to make a tag for a change using kraft card and MME papers. The tag and all the other die cuts are Tim Holtz, I love the Scribbles and Splats one they are so useful for backgrounds as are the arrows. The number is from the Alphanumeric set, I got the 3/4" ones as I tend to make smaller cards. The stamp is from Julie Nutting and I coloured parts of it with Prima watercolour pencils. The sentiment is from Autumn Leaves.

CCT Add A Quote

This weeks theme at CCT is Add A Quote. I made my card with Maya design paper and a Stempelglede sentiment stamped onto a Spellbinders die cut oval, which I then layered onto a fancy oval. The colours are lovely light purples but for some reason I couldn't get them to photograph very well.

The flowers and leaves are cut with Tim Holtz tiny tattered flowers dies out of matching paper. I added some glitter to the flowers and some pearls.

CCT Beside The Sea

The theme at CCT this week is Beside The Sea. I have used Graphic 45 papers for my card, I love these papers and have purchased a few different collections. The only extras on the card are some netting, a die cut banner and a starfish which I have had since I worked in the craft shop over 5 years ago!

CCT Colours of Summer

This weeks challenge at CCT is Colours of Summer. I have used a Craftwork cards kit for my card and added a few pearls and some punched butterflies. I rolled the flowers using the quilling tool which comes in the Tim Holtz mini tattered florals dies and it was so much easier.

CCT Too Cute

This weeks theme at CCT is too Cute. I have used one of my favourite Penny Black images which I have coloured with Copics and a Tonic die and embossing set.

CCT School or Sport

This weeks theme at CCT is school or sport. I've made an ATC using Indigo Blu papers which I distressed with Distress Ink and the sewed to a piece of black card. The letters are cut with my new thinlits alphabet set and the arrow is a Tim Holtz mover and shapers die. The harlequin stamp is also Tim Holtz.

CCT Lovely Lace

I missed last weeks challenge but have managed a quick card for this weeks which is Lovely Lace. I've started my Xmas cards, mainly because I found this poinsettia die cut already made up in a drawer! The die is a Tim Holtz one and the sentiment is from Inkadinkado.

CCT Use a Sentiment

This weeks theme at CCT is Use a Sentiment. I have used one of my new Tim Holtz Crazy Birds stamps which I coloured with Distress Markers. The background is made with Distress Inks and I added an old Magnolia sentiment.

CCT CAS

The theme at CCT this week is clean and simple. I have made a quick anniversary card using this fab stamp from Crafty Individuals which I stamped onto patterned paper and then cut out. I added Distress Glitter to the crowns, a Craftwork Cards sentiment and a bit of doodling round the card edge.

CCT Charmed

This weeks theme at CCT is Charmed. I have made another tag using Distress Ink for the background in some of the newer more vibrant colours. The stamps and dies are also Tim Holtz. I have added glossy accents to the heart and I dyed the ribbon to match the tag. 

CCT Bonny Blue

This weeks theme at CCT is Bonny Blue. I have made a tag for this challenge which I coloured with Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Inks, it is more vibrant than it shows in the photo. All the stamps are from Ryn Designs, I love the water droplet ones they look so effective.

I hope you all had a good Easter, I didn't manage to do any crafting at all.

CCT Buttons and Bows

The challenge at CCT this week is Buttons and Bows. I have made a little tag using a Hanglar and Stanglar image which I coloured with Distress Markers. The papers are MME which I was lucky enough to win from Michelle you can visit her fab blog The Card Grotto here. I have added some lace and some flowers and a swirl punched with EK Success punches. The bows are in her hair and the button is in the centre of the flower.

I hope you have a good Easter, I don't think we will be doing much apart from lots of extra dog walks and hopefully some bike rides if the weather is nice and I will try and sneek some crafting time!

CCT Easter

This weeks theme at CCT is Easter. I have made another of my quick cards this time using two old Magnolia stamps which I have coloured with Distress Markers.

I hope you will be able to join us this week as we have another great prize.

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.
