CCT Anything Goes

 I'm finally back after a long break from blogging, I hope you are all keeping well. This weeks theme at CCT is Anything Goes. I've made a page for my Xmas 2020 planner using dies from Elizabeth Crafts and lots of white glitter which I stuck to white card and then watercoloured to get the different glitter colours.

CCT Anything Goes

This weeks theme at CCT is Anything Goes. I've made a quick card using up some scraps of paper left over from my planner pages.

CCT Charms

The theme at CCT this week is Charms. I have used some new Christmas stamps by Lisa Horton. I stamped the background stamp and main image with Hero Arts dye ink and matted them onto matching card and added a Mama Elephant sentiment. A very quick and simple card.

CCT Toys/Transport

This weeks theme at CCT is Toys/Transport. I have used another super cute Penny Black image for my card which I have coloured with Copics. The papers are Lawn Fawn and the snowflake die is a magazine freebie. I used glitter by creative Expressions to add a bit of sparkle.

CCT Anything Goes

We have a nice and easy theme at CCT this week, Anything Goes. I've decided to make a start on my Xmas cards and have used the Snowy stamp from Penny Black. I've been after this stamp for a long time and managed to buy it from a selling site on Facebook, although I think it has recently been re released. The image is coloured with Copics and I paper pieced his scarf and hat using Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Christmas papers. The dies are by Die-Namics and the background paper is from the same Lawn Fawn pad. I added some Creative Expressions Iced Snow beneath the snowman and Diamond Sprinkles on his hat.

CCT Something Shiny

The theme at CCT this week is Something Shiny. I treated myself to this super cute Mama Elephant stamp set called Arctic Penguins and they were sat on my desk so I decided to use them for this weeks card. The stars are cut out of the navy card with a Die-Namics die and I put some silver mirri card behind. The penguins are coloured with Copics and I used a Lil-Inker die for the snow drifts. The sentiment is Stampin Up.

Don't think I've ever made a Christmas card in April before!

CCT Add Some Glitter

At CCT this week we would you like you to add some glitter to your card. I have used another Penny Black image coloured with Copics, on a Kraft card base. I added a couple of debossed lines on either side of the image and a Hero Arts sentiment. A very quick and easy card.

I am also entering this card into the Penny Black and More challenge which is Anything Goes With a Stamp.

CCT - Starry Starry Night

This weeks challenge at CCT is Starry Starry Night and I have made a very quick and simple card using a new stamp which I got from Paper Artsy. I stamped the image directly onto an A7 Kraft card and then stamped a piece of Stampin Up paper so I could cut out the star. I added glitter to the paper star, a stamped sentiment and some highlights with a white gel pen. Very quick and easy but I am pleased with the end result!!

A super quick post off me because its nearly my bedtime. I was at work last night and have 2 more nights to go but at least I'm off at the weekend and hubby has offered to take me craft shopping.

Have a good day.

Lily of The Valley Christmas Card

I've finally got round to putting another card on my blog! I've actually made all my Xmas cards now and about another 60 to sell but haven't got round to photographing them, hopefully later today or tomorrow.

I've used a Lily of The Valley stamp for this card and some old

paper I found in my box. The circles are cut with Nesties and the image is coloured with Copics, the flowers are a Marianne die which I bought last year and never used.

I am entering this card into this week's Lily of The Valley challenge which is to make a card for someone special.

Have a good Thursday and enjoy the lovely sunny weather.

At Last A Card!!

Eventually I have got round to making a card!! I bought myself this cute Me To You Bear stamp on Saturday + decided to get on with some Xmas cards, well I've only made the 1 but its a start!! The papers are so old, I've had them ages and the image is coloured with Copics.
Hopefully there will be some more cards in the not too distant future.

Xmas Card

Well its been ages since I posted a card and I haven't actually been making many but as I 'm off work for a couple of nights I thought I should make an effort to try and use up some of my stash!!
The main card has been cut on the Cricut by welding 2 fancy panels together on my Gypsy and the tree is also cut on the Cricut. The papers are MME and I have just added a few punched circles which I put Glossy Accents on to make shiney. A very quick and easy card.

I hope you're enjoying this snowy weather, we don't have too much here. Grant and Alex aren't happy!!

Hubby and I went to see Madness in Manchester last night, they were brilliant although I am suffering with a bad back today - I must be getting too old for all the dancing!!!!!!!!!
