Mojo Monday 109

It has taken me nearly all week to make this card!  Every night after work and after batboy had gone to bed I would do a little bit more.  Such a slow process, I wish I could get a few hours in a row instead.

Anyhow, this card is based on the Mojo Monday sketch for this week.  I used Co'ordinations cardstock and sanded it after embossing.

Supplies:
Cardstock: white, red and green - Co'ordinations
Cutting:  scallop circle - spellbinders

Embossing:  bird & vine, swiss dots - both Provocraft

Stamps:  Hero Arts

Other: white trim - unkown, velvet ribbon - Li'l Davis Designs, pinecone ink - Versacolor, distress stickles, gold glitter, sandpaper.

Mojo Monday 108

Well, batboy has been watching 'Spongebob and the Big Wave', hence the inspiration for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge for this week!  I made the background using watercolour paper.  I scribbled with my watercolour pencils and then blended with an aquash brush.  The surfboard is a stamp, whcih I inked by using various coloured markers.  I'm not sure who I would give this card to, but it was fun to use techniques I don't normally try.

Supplies:
Cardstock: white, 

Paper: kraft, purple, blue
Cutting:  wave punch - Fiskars

Embossing:  swirls - Provocraft

Stamps:  surfboard, sentiment - Inque Boutique, palm - Basic Grey

Other: markers, watercolour pencils - Derwent, aquash brush, sewing machine 

Splitcoast Stampers - Sketch Challege - SC250

Here is the card I made for the sketch challenge SC250 on Splitcoast Stampers.  I used the background stamping technique shown by Jennifer McGuire.  I used champagne dazzle versamark ink and glitter clear embossing powder, so the result is more sparkly than shows up in the picture.

Supplies:
Cardstock: white, gold
Paper: green
Cutting:  swirls - Sizzix, letters - baby face- Provocraft

Embossing:  swiss dots - Provocraft

Stamps:  Hero Arts

Other: ribbon, versamark dazzle ink, clear glitter embossing powder 

Hoot Hoot

As I was making a set of cards using this paper from We R Memory Keepers, I had some leftovers that I used for this card.  It turns out I like this one better than the others I made!  When you work with odd bits and pieces, the results can be more interesting.

Supplies:
Cardstock: white
Paper: kraft, pattern and colours - We R Memory Keepers
Cutting:  apron lace punch - Fiskars, label one die - Spellbinders

Stamps:  Owl - Hampton Arts, Wood grain - Hero Arts, celebrate - Basic Grey

Other: ribbon - HOTP, sewing machine 

Queen

I was wondering what to do with a crown die.  I bought the Denmark die set (Quikcutz) mainly for the bicycle and houses, but it seemed a shame not to use the crown in some way.  The top of the crown has a cross on it, which I have covered with a purple flower gem.  The large oval is actually shiny gold!

Supplies:
Cardstock: white, pink, gold
Paper: pink
Cutting:  crown die - Quikcutz, scallop oval dies - Spellbinders
Other: flower gem, stickles, Edwardian Script ITC - font 

Get Well

Here is a get well card I made for batboy's friend, who is a huge fan of Optimus Prime and all things Transformers [his name was printed on the card, but I have obscured it with a envelope shape].  The Optimus Prime sticker is mounted on acetate and then cut out.  He is connected to the card on a brad.  The hole for the brad is large enough to allow him to swing around.  This is a 5x7 inch card, which is bigger than I usually make.

Supplies:
Cardstock: red and blue - Bazzil, silver
Cutting:  corner rounder - Carl craft
Font: transformers
Other: diamond plate embossing folder - Provocraft, sticker, acetate

Left overs

This card was created with the leftovers from the previous challenge card.  I used a card created by Kandis Smith as the basis.  Her card appears in the September edition of the UK version of Cards (magazine), which I stumbled on in my local newsagent.
Supplies:
Cardstock: kraft, Bazzil
Paper: brown, Infuse - Basic Grey
Cutting:  punch - Martha Stewart, EK Success scallop circle die - Spellbinders flower
Other: chalk, buttons, twine, Versacolor 

Card Sketch Challenge

Here is a card I created for the latest card sketch challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.  I altered the dimensions a little to fit an A6 card and the size of my stamps.  I started out with a completely different stamp for the centre, but couldn't get it to look right, so I had to start again!
Supplies:
Cardstock: kraft, Bazzil
Paper: brown, Infuse - Basic Grey
Cutting:  punch - Martha Stewart, hole punch
Stamp: Hero Arts, Basic Grey
Other: chalk, dimensional magic, Versacolor

Christmas Ornament

This is a Christmas ornament I made for the magnolia-licious challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.  It is hard to tell, but the kraft cardstock is embossed.  The gold circle was punched from a piece of foil packaging.

Supplies:
Cardstock: kraft
Paper: white, red source unknown
Cutting: inverted scallop circle  Nestabilities - Spellbinders, apron lace punch - Fiskars, circle punch
Stamp: Hero Arts
Font: Flair Roman
Other: glitter, foil packaging, eyelet

World Card Making Day

Although it is Sunday in Sydney, the US is celebrating World Card Making Day right now.  Here is a card I made for World Card Making Day.  I like the way the inverted scallop die on top of the scallop die turned out, so I may use that on a few more cards.
I'll be doing a few more posts in the next couple of days, as I particpate in some of the card challenges.

Supplies:
Cardstock: white
Paper: kraft, pattern - We R Memory Keepers
Cutting: inverted scallop circle and scallop circle Nestabilities - Spellbinders,
Stamp: Hero Arts
Ribbon: Hot off the Press

Simple Christmas Card

Last year (or was it the year before?) I bought a font from 2peas with every intention of making my Christmas cards from it.  Finally, I have used the font - 2peas DW Santa to create a card.  I actually made two, so I can give them to batboy's teachers for Christmas.  To add some bling, there is a little bit of red Doodlebug glitter on the reindeer's nose and a swipe of Kindyglitz on Santa.


Supplies:
Cardstock: white
Paper: kraft and red, source unknown
Cutting: oval and scallop oval Nestabilities - Spellbinders, Apron lace punch - Fiskars, corner rounder - Carl Craft
Embossing: swirls and swiss dots - Cuttlebug
Font: 2peas DW Santa
Colouring: Watercolour pencils - Derwent
