Creative Craft World – May Mini Challenge
Today is the launch of the new Mini Challenge on the Creative Craft World Challenge Blog. I was lucky enough to be able to play with the May mini kit for this one which was full of gorgeous Bazzill Wayfarer papers.
These lovely papers certainly made me go for a travel theme throughout my cards…
Love the fact that the colours are perfect for cards for men and women.
Plenty of help from my Silhouette Cameo of course!
If you want to be in it to win it then pop over to the Challenge Blog and link us up with your mini projects! If you want one of the lovely mini kits that I have used here then you can get one from the shop - they really are great value!
52 Card Challenge 2012 – Week 18
I seem to be a little bit behind with the 52 Card Challenge again! This is my card for week 18 – use something translucent or transparent on your card. I thought these little making memories tags fitted the bill. Papers are Echo Park This and That.
May Scrap Map Challenge at Creative Craft World
Happy National Scrapbooking Day!
It’s time to launch the new Scrap Map challenge for May over at the Creative Craft World Challenge Blog. Here’s what I did with the sketch – now let’s see what you can do! Don’t forget to leave a link to your projects on the challenge blog to be in with a chance of winning.
52 Card Challenge 2012 Weeks 16 and 17
Time for a little 52 Card Challenge catch up!
The prompt for week 16 was a colour challenge – aqua blue, fresh green and white. I had just got my hands on my Authentique Loyal 6×6 pad after the first one sadly went missing in the post and I decided the colours were perfect for this prompt. I also used a little resin frame from Tea House Bridge.
Week 17 was a return to the prompt jar - the three prompts were celebrate, pearls and stamping. I used some more of the Authentique Loyal along with lots of machine sewing.
Creative Craft World – April Mini Challenge
It’s time to launch another mini challenge at the Creative Craft World Challenge Blog! You can make anything for the challenge so long as it is smaller than 12 x 12, so it could be a card, a tag or some altered art. There is no theme for this months challenge so you have a free rein to show us all your mini creations, just link them up on the blog so we can come and see them.
Today is also the launch of the new mini kit over at the Creative Craft World shop – this month’s kit features the Prima Almanac collection and let me tell you it is gorgeous! Such good value for money too – they are packed full of lovely things.
I used the kit to make these four cards, and there is probably enough left to make another one. The only addition is a couple of stamps and a teeny bit of twine here and there.
Don’t forget to link us up to your mini creations!
52 Card Challenge 2012 – Week 14
The prompt for week 14 was to use a sketch for our cards – see here.
As usual, it was more inspired by rather than following the sketch completely, but I made a card (eventually!) and that’s what matters!
Papers are from My Minds Eye On the Bright Side 6×6 pad, die cuts all cut on the Cameo, designs from the Silhouette store. Sentiment stamp from Waltzingmouse’s Compact Sentiment’s set – definately my new “go to” set, I love it!
April Scrap Map Challenge at Creative Craft World
Today we launch the Scrap Map Challenge for this month at the Creative Craft World Challenge Blog.
I scrapped some pictures of Jamie enjoying a Krispy Kreme doughnut in his usual fashion – eat all the icing from the top first and then eat the actual doughnut!
I used My Minds Eye Kraft Funday papers for this one along with some buttons, twine and a few splashes of Mr Huey’s Calico White. You can see the sketch that I used and the layouts the rest of the design team came up with over on the blog. You have a whole month to enter the challenge to be in with a chance of winning a great prize!
52 Card Challenge 2012 – Week 13
I had to hang on to post this as it was for my Mum’s birthday, but as she has now had the card ( a couple of days early, but she said it was her official birthday today so I think that makes it OK 
) I can post, just in time to make me up to date before the new challenge is posted tomorrow!
The challenge for week 13 was to use lace or doilies (or both!) on your card.
I used some My Minds Eye papers from the Howdy Doody 6×6 pad, Waltzingmouse stamps Nordic Spring and Compact Sentiments, and layered the kraft circle on top of a doily to give it a little frilly edge. I finished off with a coat of Mr Huey’s Calico Shine which gives a lovely pearlised effect to the card.
52 Card Challenge 2012 – Week 12
The prompts for Week 12 were to create a card to celebrate Easter or Spring. I went with Easter then I could make use of the lovely Happy Easter stamp from Waltzingmouse stamps. Papers are Cosmo Cricket, egg die cut from the Silhouette store.
