charisma challenge # 39 is decoupage

Well as is the theme for me at the moment ive created another christmas card lol, the challenge over at charisma this week is decoupage so i cut up this lovely image and got my squares out, and was quite pleased with the end result, its much more colourful and sparkly in real life than in the picture.

The things i used to make this card are;

• dovecraft papers
• le suh decoupage papers
• dovecraft snowflake brad
• peeloff greeting matted onto
• blue mirror card
• silver ribbon

MME card bloom and grow for fun

Here is another card i have made just for fun, it was made using the new bloom and grow range from my minds eye, with just added gold border and corner peeloffs, i know this is simple but was so easy to make and only took around 15 mins to put togetherm

To make this card i used;

• MME decoupage pad
• MME backing papers
• gold peeloffs
• clear sakura stardust on the decoupage for extra shine

simplicity in every way lol, but not bad for a quickie.

ooh la la creations

• MME bloom and grow backing papers
• gold peeloffs
• silver pearlescent card blank from craft central

papertake weekly is has its 100th challenge

Firstly, sorry the picture is terrible i was having a bad day lol, this card is for papertake weekly, this week is their 100th challenge so they decided on take a pick which basically means you cam pick any of the last 99 challenges and go with it.
I decided on the challenge from 5th jan 2009 which was called seeing spots,

To make this card i used :

• my mind eye bloom and grow backing papers
• my minds eye decoupage pad
• silver peel-offs

And thats it, this was a nice easy card to make and besides the picture looking rubbish the card actually looks pretty good,

leopard card for friend

A friend of mine wanted a card making for one of her very close elderly friends, well i was very happy to make this for her as im struggling to get commissions at the moment, but when she told me what she wanted i was a bit surprised to be honest and didnt know if i could do it but said yes anyway,

well she wanted a funky leopard themed card for a 90 year old, it took me ages to decide how to do this as i didnt have anything to do with leopards in my stash,

As my friend likes decoupage i thought that was the way to go, so i got hold of a leopard picture and cut few up and made my own decoupage with it, i bought the backing paper from PDA and used the jelly tots to add some bling there the wedding bells selection, my friend likes shiny things so thought it would be good? i used gold peeloffs to give it a bit of finish, and used some gold ribbon i got in a swap,

What do you think??? i know its not everyones cup of tea including mine tbh but its what she wanted i just hope she likes it,

As the challenge over at ABC is anything goes with added theme of animals i thought this was just right so im entering it for thes weeks challenge.

DCD challenge no 6 black and white

This is a first for me as ive only just come across die cut dreams challenge blog,but thought i would give it a go, I made this card for a friend of mine who wanted a art deco card i hope she likes it?

To make this card i used;

• divine evening decoupage
• backing paper bought from pda crafts as an a4 sheet,
• deco corner peel offs
• silver gems from ebay
• sentiments stamped from my new art deco rubber stamps from design house papercraft
• black ribbon

What do you think?

sketch saturday #60

I decided to make a mens card for this weeks challenge over at sketch saturday as i have my brothers birthday coming up and he is into cars and racing etc, this was actually quite fun to make,

To make this card i used:

• stamping up backing papers
• some gorgeous two tone pearlescent grey paper i bought from papermill
• the decoupage is from the craft house called sports
• ribbon from papermill also
• black gems from ebay
• sentiment sticker from stash,unsure where from
• black sakura to do faux stitching

This card does actually look better in real life than the picture even if i do say so myself lol

decoupage card for 3 challenges

Sorry this photo hasnt come out at all well, i made this card for a older friend of mine who specifically asked for decoupage, so i trawled through my many blog challenges and came across 3 that i could combine, they are:

1. Saturday challenge #39 is 3 ribbons
2. C.R.A.F.T challenge #7 is decoupage
3. Creative card crew #18 is ribbons

To make this card i used my

• wild asparagus backing papers
• flower decoupage from a cd i have
• wine coloured organza ribbon from the range
• wine coloured pearl gems bought from ebay
• happy birthday from see ds stamp set
• gold shiny card for matting an layering (is from a indian friend of mine who bought it from a specialist shop as it has oils in it for her daughters wedding,its gorgeous)

this card was really easy to make and the decoupage is made with silicone instead of 3d pads so i could give it some shape and i didnt want it too thick,
