Using up some 'Snippets'

After seeing all of the wonderful cards Irene has created using up some of her 'Snippets' prompted me to make a couple of 'Thank you' cards I needed to make for several friends. I have used up some of my 'negatives' from cutting nesties. I never throw any of the 'snippets' from crafting .. I now must use them instead of them being piled up in a box! The Rubber Stamped image is from my new set of Fancy Pants 'Doddles and Things' I stamped it in 'Mushroom' onto Faux Leather White Card then used my fine tombow glue pen on the outline of the image then added gold Glamour Dust. The flower/Thank you is from a Paula Pascal Personal Impressions set.



Two Thank you Cards made from the 'Negatives' from 'Nestie Labels' I edged the K'Ology paper with some fluid chalk.

Bah Humbug Challenge 28 - Shapes

I did quake in my boots when I read what this weeks challenge is over at  Bah Humbug

The majority of cards we crafters make are either square or rectangular, so this challenge is encouraging you to take things a step further and create something else entirely ... use any shape EXCEPT a square or rectangle.

I have only one 'Shape' card template, a pyramid type shape, but I wanted to try something different so I looked through my Eazi Scor Project Book for inspiration. I came across a 'pentagon' shaped card, so I set about making a pentagon by scoring an A4 piece of card in half then its a simple case of cutting off the excess to get your pentagon shape.
I used black card for the base card then added some 'freebie' paper on the whole of the card - meaning back and front. The 'Snowflakes' are cut with my Cricut. I have cut two sizes and then layered them. I added some stickles for extra sparkle. I then added a ribbon flower for the central sentiment. Here is my finished card.

List of Supplies

A4 Black Card

A4 Snowflake Paper (Freebie from a Mag.)

Pink Card

Cricut Snowflakes (Joys of the Season)

Paula Pascal Clear RS Sentiment

Fluid Chalk

Stickles

Sheer White Ribbon

Scor Pal

PaperArtsy RubberStamp Makes

I recently purchased a few PaperArtsy RS that were reduced but as yet had not managed to have a play with them. Here are a few 'Makes' I have created using one of the them. Two Birthday Cards and a Thinking of You' The ones I stamped onto glossy card appear a little 'blotchy' the stamps are probably more suited to Versafine Ink pad rather than the Impress one that I had used, I was curious how it would look on glossy paper hence the experimenting. I coloured in the image using Promarkers. Only probelm with this you can see the 'pen drag marks' but only when you look at the image side onwards so decided it would be ok to use the images.

Lovely in Lilac

Here is the 1st of the 20 Christmas Cards I have been asked to make for a friend.




I just love this stamp from 'Whiff of Joy' Lizie With Muff
I do think she looks so pretty dressed in 'Lilac' Although I do think I should
of done her jacket in a coordinating colour rather then all Lilac



I recently purchased one of Tim Holtz's On The Edge Dies - 'Ornate' not quite got to grips yet as to how to really use.



I have used Polar White Flower Soft for Lizzies hand muff, neck warmer
and her cute ear muffs



In this instance I made it up as I went along! I embossed some bazzill basics white card with swiss dot CB folder and once I made the edge cut I snipped it off at each end then placed underneath the other swiss dots embossed layer. I 'swished' some Pretty Petunia 'VersaMagic' over the embossing, added

some glitter to the 'on the edge'diecut, obviously did all this before assembling each layer.

I am entering my card into this weeks penultimate challenge at Bah Humbug

I have so much enjoyed taking part every week in all of the challenges set. What an amazing journey it has been. I also very much appreciate all the hard work Ann, Irene and Max put into the challenges as well as all the other stuff they do towards running the blog.  The blog owners are truly wonderful, in every sense of the word. I will certainly be taking part in the Bah Humbug weekly challenges beginning 2011.

A stamp from the Paula Pascual Large Christmas set with CB snowflake
diecuts and Marianne Designs Flourish were used to make
