Winter Wonderland

I just wanted to get one more card posted before the end of 2013. I had the image all coloured and sitting on my craft table, I really like making gate fold cards and this one has a twist…..when you open it the image is on the right gate and the sentiment on the left. The inside is also decorated with the same dsp (I forgot to take a picture)  

          

I am entering this in the Clear it Out Christmas challenge you will find HERE. There are lots of prizes to be won and a chance to be a featured stamper.One day left to join in the fun.

What I used

Stamp……Hero Arts

Sentiment…….Impression Obsession

Cardstock…GP white Garden Green Real Red

Thanks for looking today and have a fabulous day!!

All That Glitters…Challenge #112 @ Drunken Stampers

I did it again……slipped in a card for the Flirtini Challenge week, I hope they don’ t mind. First I did think the last challenge of 2012 was a combined one, second I love glitter and couldn’t let it go by without making a card with lots of GLITTER. So if you didn’t arrive here from the Drunken Stampers blog head over there and check out what you need to do to join in the glittery mess I got into. Just click HERE,

Here is what I came up with for some inspiration to get that glitter out and create.

I used my brand new Nellie for the oval, it was fun poking all the little cuts out of it too. Although you cannot tell the image is covered in cool tone Ritz Glitter. The inside of the card is posted below.

I used the silver glitter piece that was cut from what I used for the frame. The sentiment was sitting finished in my box of bits.

What I used

Stamp Thomas Kinkade Silent Night

Nellie Ovals Spellbinder ovals

Ink Brilliance Sky Blue pearlescent

Cardstock….GP White, Pacific Point

Glitter cardstock from the dollar store.

Sentiment ….not sure of what company

Snowflakes…EK mini punch

Thanks for stopping by today and come back again soon.

It is still Christmas at Clear it Out…….

I checked it out today and there is still 4 days to get a project in for the draws at Clear it Out, check it out for yourself HERE. 
At the Stampin’up Hostess group this month we made some awesome cards, one of them I wanted to “case” but the only thing I had was the Very Vanilla cardstock, so putting my thinking cap on I used gold ink instead of crumb cake, I used a different set of snowflakes, but my big problem was the gold glitter cardstock and the lace. Last year I bought the white glitter cardstock from SU so I cut strips of it and punched the scallop border, then took a bic marker in beige and coloured the glitter cardstock,  I know there is some ivory cotton lace somewhere in my stash but just couldn’t find it in a hurry so went and bought some that Fabricland was clearing out for 25 cents a yard.
               
This is the card that I made, the card I cased is below.
                        
I like the way mine turned out and the recipient was very pleased with it too.
Thanks for looking today and check back again soon, I am hoping to have more time in 2013 to update my blog more often.
I am entering my card in the December Christmas challenge at Clear it Out Tuesday.
