CCT So Angelic

The theme this week at CCT is So Angelic. I have made a large tag which I covered with Basic Grey papers. The angel stamp is from a set by Stempelglede which I have had for a few years and the music stamp is from Magnolia. I have used Vintage Photo distress ink around the images and the tag. I have added a flower, pearl and leaves from the Tim Holtz Tattered Pinecone die.

I really enjoyed making this tag, its ages since I made anything 'vintagy' - is that a word!

I hope you'll be able to join us this week.

CCT Animal Magic

The theme at CCT this week is Animal Magic.I have used a super cute Penny Black image for my card which I coloured with Distress Inks and then cut out with a Spellbinders Nestability die. The papers are retired Stampin Up and the snowflake is also a Nestability die. I added a bit of glitter to the image and some gems to the card.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have a fab prize from Bunny Zoe.

CCT Sparkle

This weeks theme at CCT is Sparkle, perfect for all your Christmas cards. I have used a Spellbinder bauble die and a Creative Expressions stamp for my card. I have stamped the image with Versamark and then used Ranger sticky embossing powder so that I could cover the image with glitter. The photo does not really show the sparkle but it is really 'blingy'. The sentiment is Stampin Up.

We have another fab prize to give away this week so I hope you'll be able to join in the challenge.

Have a good week. 

CCT Spooktacular

This weeks challenge at CCT is Spooktacular. I have used one of my favourite stamps Crowscape from Stampendous. I have just stamped the image onto white card, run the corner of it through the Cuttlebug Houndstooth embossing folder and inked around the edge of the card with Distress Inks. I also added some Fran-Tage to the corner of the black card. 

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have another fab prize. Have a good week.

CCT Candyman

This weeks challenge at CCT is Candyman, we'd like to see candy or sweets on your project. I struggled to find an image and eventually found this rubber stamp which I have had in my stash for years and forgotten about! I think its quite cute actually, how happy does the little cat look?  and perfect for this challenge with the little candy canes. The image has been stamped onto watercolour paper and coloured with Distress Inks, I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed this method of colouring.  I cut the tag from Kraft card and used an old piece of Basic Grey DP.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have a fab prize for 1 lucky winner. Have a good week. 

CCT Neutral Zone

This weeks theme at CCT is Neutral Zone. I have made a very quick and simple card using my Stampin Up Joyful Christmas set. I have stamped and embossed the poinsettia twice onto vellum and layered up the center petals. I stamped and embossed the image and sentiment onto a kraft card base and added a few pearls to the poinsettia. I saw a card very similar on the internet and just love the simplicity of it.

It's off to bed for me in a few minutes as I've worked the past 3 nights and am in again tonight plus I didn't sleep much yesterday so I'm hoping for a better day today. If not I've got 2 nights off to recover!

Enjoy your Thursday.

CCT Signs of Distress

The challenge this week at CCT is Signs of Distress. I have used Tilda papers and die cuts from the Winter Memories pad and added a few pearls and lace and some Fran-tage on the blue tag. I stamped the Magnolia swirls on the paper and distressed around the edges with a Versamagic inkpad.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have a fab prize from Bunny Zoe's Crafts. 

CCT Fairy Nice

This weeks challenge at CCT is Fairy Nice. I have used a digi image of a Wee stamp Silver Fairy which I coloured with Copics and then added a little bit of Glamour Dust. The papers are Docrafts and the swirls are punched with an EK Success punch from white glitter card. The other punches are Stampin Up.

I'm not doing too bad with the Christmas cards, I think I've managed about 7 different ones with the Poinsettia stamps so far and I'm hoping to get chance to make a few more at the weekend! My knee is getting better and I'm back at work but i don't think I'll be running for a while yet!

Have a good week.

CCT Hip To Be Square

This weeks challenge at CCT is Hip To Be Square. I used Kraft card for my card base and a very old Stampendous stamp which I have had for well over 10 years and has never been used before. The image has been stamped and embossed in white and I added a piece of DP, a punched scrap of white card and a ribbon. Another quick and easy card.

I decided not to buy much Christmas stuff this year so I have got 1 set of stamps from Stampin Up called Joyful Christmas and I'm going to see how many different cards I can make with that set! Here is the set I bought - wish me luck!

I'm enjoying a bit of extra crafty time at the moment as I'm off work ill with a injured knee and can't do much else. I was running in the fields last week and one of my spaniels ran straight into the side of my knee at full speed! 

CCT Pretty in Pink

This weeks challenge at CCT is Pretty in Pink. I used my new Stampin Up Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and also the Affection Collection set. The stamps were coloured with Stampin Up markers to match the card.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have a great prize from Bunny Zoe Crafts. Have a good week, 

CCT Things with Wings

This weeks theme at CCT is Things with Wings. I have used Indigo Blu stamps on my card and I have distressed around the image with Distress Inks and added some scrummy Fran-tage (love this stuff).

Another super quick post. Have a good week.

CCT Button Up

The challenge at CCT this week is Button Up, we'd like to see some buttons on your cards. I have used Stampin Up DP on my card and an old giraffe image which I got as part of a set from QVC well over 10 years ago probably more like 15 and I'm afraid to say its the first time it has seen ink!! I distressed the DP with Antique Linen Distress Ink and added a Darkroom Door sentiment. The button is from Etsy and the twine from Stampin Up. Another very quick card.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have a great prize from Whimsy Stamps. Have a good week.

CCT Die-ing For a Punch

This weeks theme at CCT is die-ing for a punch. I have made a photo frame using the Sizzix Vintage Cabinet die and also the Easel die so the frame will stand up. The papers are My Minds Eye and the photo is a Photo Chip from Darkroom Door of the Charles Bridge in Prague. The flowers are Hero Arts and I have punched 2 fronds and added a doiley, some pearls and a piece of velvet ribbon.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have another fab prize from Whiff of Joy.

CCT Anything Goes

Well at last I've managed to make a card! The theme at CCT this week is Anything Goes so and nice easy challenge and we have a fab prize from Bunny Zoe Crafts.
