Allsorts Challenge 19, 'Stars'

Well I decided that as it's Sepember, and the challenge on Allsorts is for cards with 'Stars' I had better get on with some more Christmas cards and here's the one that I made. The stars are in the night sky.


I used:
The carol singer stamp from the Variety sheet from I Brake For Stamps
I piece of Night Sky Glitter Card
I base card 10.5 cm x 15cm when folded
1 piece of navy blue saddle stitch ribbon
1 tag
Oval shape
3d foam pads
What I did:
I cut a piece of the night time glitter card to cover the top half of the card while still leaving a small border around the top. Stick to the base card.
Stamp the image onto the oval card and colour with shades of blue, yellow and a little red and brown.
Tie a knot in the ribbon and adhere it over the join between the glitter card and the base card.
Write a nessage on the tag and stick it to the card along with the image.
Now that's a fairly quick card.

My Favourite Colour

The challenge on 'Stamp Something this week is: My Favourite Colour. Most of you who know me well by now will have no difficulty in guessing what that is, so without further ado I present you with this pink creation!!

Love Larry for a birthday card

I've just made this card for the Allsorts challenge 17, which, this week, is for something for the boys card. I admit that is not your conventional card but I've never let that bother me. He's made using the Love Larry stamp from 'I Brake for Stamps' which can be seen here.

Isn't he a total hoot.

A Very Special Birthday Card

This card is for my grand daughter. It's a very special card this year as the one that I made for her last year was lost in the post. This year I am sending it from Italy so I really do hope that it stands some chance of arriving.

The tulips are back

Many of you have seen this tulip stamp before and it's one

of my favourites as it's so versitile. I've chosen to pair it with some of the craft fairy blooms and a button with some ribbon.

Blooms and hand drawn flowers

As I said earlier on today I've found my calligraphy pens again and I've been creating. This is the first of my creations. I made the card with the calligraphy and art and graphic pens from Kuretake and paired them up with some of the Craft Fairy blooms and these are the results.

I really enjoyed making these and if you come to my stand at Ally Pally, I'll show you how to do them.

A new Calligraphy flower design

About time too I hear you cry. The calligraphy pens have been sadly neglected for a while but I have them out and I' on a roll.

Christmas in July

Well. why not. Everyone says that Christmas is starting earlier and earlier so we may as well start now. Cute Card Thursday is running this challenge. So I simply can't resist.

This little gem of a stamp will have your friends howling with laughter so please enjoy.

Santa stamp can be found here on the Craft Fairy site.
