SBS 24 challenge little Angels

For my SBS 24 group this weeks challenge was to make Hanuka or Christmas cards.
I still need a few Christmas card So I have chosen this one for the challenge
All the papers and toppers from this card Came from Joanna Sheens Baby love CD.
I just love everything about this CD , Lovely images and some stunning background papers, this one is one of my favorite on the Cd, Love it As you can see I have chosen to use the same card fold as in the previous cards,( I told you I am addicted to this style) This time I added a little bit of bronze glitter to my backing paper, I then mounted the toppers onto some gold Mirri card.
Then I put some gold ribbon on the side panel, before adding the smaller topper

Front door Christmas Card

Not sure if I like this card, I had the idea to make a front opening larger card, But not to happy with the finished result The decoupage is one of Jonnies free sheets, You will find a link to Jonnies blog on my side bar.
I layered the card up using small bits of Glitter on the Trees and wreath.
I then mounted this card to a larger gold card that i had embossed using my glitter girls board

Here Is what is hidden inside the front door card, a decoupage fireplace with a cute basket of puppies. I would like to think they already lived there and are keeping warm and not a Christmas present

Sketch no 24

Here is my sketch for this week For this card I made the papers and topper using my 3d2CD.
I made the square image into a circle pyramage, I then layered this onto silver card with some nice punched out corners, I then stuck this to one side of the gate fold card, the backing papers came from bits of the image and me playing with the tile creator in 3D2. I love this function you can get loads of great backing papers, you can get a bit carried away and end up with way more papers than you will ever use

Two more cards

These were made using my 3D2CD
I took my image into the programme and made two decoupage toppers the first is a pyramid topper, I also made some backing paper to match, For these card I also used some of crafter`s companion embossed backing papers. I also made the tag using both papers and a peel off Happy Birthday
For the second I used a square card, I had made another topper to add to my printing out sheet, this time I made it as a traditional decoupage layered it up and added it to the centre of the card, this time I added some ribbon as I matted and layered the base card, again I made a happy Birthday topper for the bottom of the card

Sketch No 17

you have two sketches this week, been away on hols so needed to play catch up, This is no 17, no 16 is below.

My sample card was made using my cupcake crafting CDs I have a few of these lovely CD, this image and papers come from the Petals CD.
I just printed out the papers and image, Cut and decoupaged the flowers added Two Pink ribbons ans two tiny bows as a finishing touch

Love this one

Oh I love this one,

I used some of Kay Miller designs papers, this kit also had the little cute house and tree with it as well as some lovely backing papers.
I added both the house and tree to the background papers using my graphics programme, I also printed out a second house.
I then coloured a hanglar image using some water colours,then I decoupaged the second house and girl onto the front of the card.
I finished it off by adding the Just for you stamp at the bottom

Tilda & Co Challenge

This weeks brief was

Decoupage Tilda & Co
Now for this week..... I would love to see you decoupage with your magnolia stamps.
This could be as simple as having a Tilda or Edwin, that is holding something, you then stamp that image out twice, cut out the item he/she is holding and then layer it up with foam pads or silicone glue, to give a 3d effect
Or you could go totally wild and build up lot’s of layers.
Please remember your work could be a card, Layout(scrapbook page) Atc, Altered Item, anything you like! alsong as your work has Magnolia Stamp on there somewhere

Here is my first attempt at one of their challenges

I stamped tilda onto the same paper that I used for the backing, I also stamped 2 images onto some plain card, these I coloured using marvy pens, I trimmed out the dress from the first image , decoupaged it over one of the coloured images, I then cut the basket, head and hair from the second, then I finished it all off with some matching ribbon

This Photo shows the layers
I enjoyed this challenge, I love my tilda stamp and hope to join in again, I have put a link to tilda & Co on my challenge section

DCM Challenge

Daring Cardmakers asked us to make a card but
there MUST be an element of handcutting somewhere.

Lots of hand cutting on this card,
I was busy most of yesterday getting all the bits cut out ready for this card.
I just had to glue it all together this afternoon. It was still a bit wet while getting photographed.

Its one I have made before and was asked to make again for a dear friend to give to her mum for her birthday on Saturday.

It has all my favourite things Decoupage Flowers, Feathers , silver mirri and lots of Purple and lilac card stock.
It was the ideal card for this challenge, I had to rush and get a photo before she took it
