April club night........No stamping.

When our craft club meets in a couple of weeks we asked the ladies to make a card without using rubber stamps. I saw this great little fellow on Julie's blog so thought it would be a bit of fun to make him.
The backing paper is from a magazine, the giraffe is made entirely from SU punches, punched leaves, photo corners. Sentiment is computer generated.

Penny Black Challenge.....

The first Penny Black challenge for 2010 is HappyNew Year the stamp I have used for this is 'Garden Visit' as it looks like the hedgehog is saying 'Happy New Year' to his little friend the snail!!
Image is coloured with pencils then cut out with the largest of the Nellie's rectangular frames. Layered up the image made an easel card. Cuttlebug corner, Stampin Up scallop punch, SU circles punches, Martha Stewart Arch border punch. All card used is Stampin UP.

Penny Black --- Red & Gold challenge

I should doing the ironing this morning but just found time to make the Penny Black challenge card for this week and the theme is Red and Gold.
U have used 2 PB stamps on this card 'Gifts for You', which I adapted and put the balloon on and also 'Xmas memories' stamped in the backgroun on the label. For the background on the card I used the SU Snowflake roller but it doesn't show up very well in the photograph. Cuttlebug snowflake die, SU eylet border punch, balloon punch and ribon from my stash. Right off to do the ironing now.
