Penny Black Challenge Week 134

Just a really quick post to say there is a Challenge Buffet over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge where you have to pick items from the buffet to create your card. The choice is 

  

The four items that I chose are Patterned Paper, Ribbon, 3 Gems and 3 Flowers.   Really enjoyed this challenge.  My design is very simple but I quite like the way it turned out. I am also entering this card into the Wags n Whiskers Challenge which this week is With Love

Another Free Gift

Craft Stamper is a fairly new magazine to me but I really like the free stamp with the latest edition.  I took inspiration from the cards that had been made using the stamp and came up with this simple card.  Sorry the picture isn't very good.

Quick Decoupage Cards

So only half an hour to go until Dancing on Ice 2011......  I have to say I love this program and am looking forward to this years show.

Decoupage was one thing that I used to do a lot of when I first started making cards.  Since I have got into rubber stamping I always feel like its cheating to make cards like this.  I saw some of the new designs that Trimcarft have brought out and decided they would make some really quick cards.

The first one is from the "Basil & Buttercup" Decoupage Pad

The second one is from "Fairy Cupcakes" Decoupage Pad 

and finally one from "The Mackenzies" Decoupage Pad

Thanks for looking.  Whatever you are up to enjoy your evening and hope the week is a good one.

Christmas Mailbox

Instead of making a traditional card for my parents for Christmas I made them a Mailbox and but a note tied up with ribbon inside.

I used a template from My Time Made Easy  which you can see by clicking on the link. There are some great projects and the template was easy to use.

If I remember correctly the holly paper was from a Forever Friends paper pack.

I added stickles - Frosted Lace for the snow.  Even this just had to have a bit of sparkle!!! Maybe I should try and make a card that doesn't have any glitter this year.....now that would be a challenge.

Thanks for looking.
