Punch it - Creative Card Crew

Morning bloggy friends, hope you are all well.

The challenge this week at Creative Card Crew is 'Punch It' and is sponsored by Sunshine Stamps and the prize is 3 digi images, so come on ladies lets see your punched cards....



In a bid to be organised for next Christmas I decided to use this challenge to help me get ahead ROFL, I seem to say that every year...
I am so pleased I bought this set of Miss Anya stamps, the snow one has been used a great deal this Xmas. Image was coloured with copics, papers are from DCWV and a paperstack I bought years ago from Craftwork Cards, yep, I'm trying to use up some old stash, another target for this year :-)

I am entering this card for the Anyone for Anya challenge this week which is to use Black, White and one other colour. Love the black and white combo, thought just for a change I would use lilac.

Looking forward to seeing your punched cards for this challenge....

Creative Card Crew - Ribbons and Gems

It my turn to set the challenge this week at Creative Card Crew......ribbons and gems sprang to mind with Christmas racing towards us!



I've had this blue ribbon in my stash since I started card making years ago, it has been much stroked but never cut and put onto a card until now! With my colour scheme set all I had to do was decide what stamp to use. I heard Maggie calling from the cupboard, the stars on her dress fit in pretty well with the stars on the ribbon so all I had to do then was pick my papers - mmmmm, so many papers but only 1 pack that would fit in nicely with my colours, last years Dovecraft Christmas pack. Image coloured with copics and gelly roll pens and MS punch used on some of the borders. Added a tag with greeting on, a few gems and there we have it!



Trying to keep on decorating the inside of my cards, so far so good, but you will have noticed that it has slowed down the number of cards I've made recently ROFL - most like brought it to a standstill!!!
I've just noticed that I haven't put a white panel inside this card for the greeting etc to be written, must do that before I seal it up.

The challenge this week is sponsored by The Creative Cottage, not sure what the prize is so you'll have to visit the CCC blog to find out more....

Adam's birthday card and the inside of my CCC DT card

Been catching up with some cardage today.... decorated the inside of quite a few cards. I am planning an open day at home soon to sell some of my cards, jewellery and Mum's patchwork, so really need to get a shift on the finish off all my UFOs (unfinished objects).

As promised in my earlier post is the card I made for my youngest son's birthday. I've been meaning to make one of these cards for ages but never seem to get round to completeing them.... some more UFOs!



As he is a footy fan I usually end up making him a football card but decided to buck the trend this year with this Manga boy image from Funky Kits and papers from Dovecraft. Image coloured with copics, stars cut from SU flower punch, trimmed off the curved edges and put through swiss dots CB embossing folder, really pleased with them now, they looked kinda flat before I embossed them.



Here is the inside of the Creative Card Crew DT card for this week, which I had hoped to finish for my posting earlier today....
Finished off with Basic Grey Wassail papers and snowflakes as before.

Need to go and tidy my workspace now, hope to get round to taking a photo for WOYWW??
Am off to a quilting shop with one of my crafting buddies who has also been bitten by the patchwork bug recently. Can feel a little spend coming on :-)

Catch up tomorrow....
