Your Challenge cards

Sophie

Lucy

Good Morning Ladies,

We have been treated to another hot and sunny weekend, its such a treat, it makes such a difference, just to be able to sit outside and relax, I think that if the weather is rubbish and you are inside you just keep finding jobs to do but with the good weather being such an unexpected treat you want to make the most of every moment.  I will say that I don't sit in the sun, I prefer the shade, we are lucky as the patio has both sun and shade so everyone is happy.                                                                                          I Thought you might like to see a photo of my beautiful girls, all dressed up ready for their Leavers Ball, they had an amazing time, Sophie & Lewis were awarded 'Cutest Couple' on the night too! 

Not so many challenge cards this week, I think we are all making the most of the good weather and some evenings it has been too hot and sticky to be sat in your Craft room.

So lets see your gorgeous cards.........

Janet

I used silver/gold, birthday and butterfly from the tic tac toe.

The birthday card is made using 'Cosmic Shimmer' Sparkle Texture paste 'Silver Moon' for the background. The butterfly is a Tonic Die 'Mariposa' and the sentiment is a Sue Wilson. r/

Janet managed two Challenge cards, despite the very high temperatures over in France.  I will add Janet's description below (Thanks for doing a description, it saves me so much time):

Card 1.....

I used silver/gold, birthday and butterfly from the tic tac toe.

Card 2......

I used Christmas/wreath and shine from the tic tac toe.

The Christmas card I made using green glitter card from my stash and the dies are from a set called

'Molly Blooms' which came with a mag bought years ago and so I cannot remember which mag.

Two amazing challenge cards thank you so  much Janet.

Karen

Karen has made an absolutely stunning Wreath style Christmas card, it looks like a very 'High End' Department store card Karen, I love it! 

I will add Karen's description below.....

"Here’s a cc from me I have made this one a few times and thought I’d try and incorporate my new SW die MERRY CHRISTMAS The snowflakes are a Martha Stewart punch So it’s CHRISTMAS: DIE CUT/PUNCH:WREATH "

Thank you so much Karen for taking part in this weeks challenge.

 Lilian

Lilian also went for the Christmas option of this weeks challenge, designing this awesome Christmas card. The background you have created has so much detail and texture, I particularly like how you have used a background die to create interest.

Lilian chose Categories:  Christmas/Tree/Silver

Thank you so much for taking part in this weeks challenge Lilian.

Lynda

Lynda chose to make a Christmas card for this weeks challenge too, I absolutely love this card Lynda,

it has a real luxury look to it with all that foil and embossing.

Lynda chose categories;  Tree/Christmas/Silver/Gold 

Thanks for designing such an amazing card for this weeks challenge Lynda, adding that gold Mirri made such a difference.

Maria

Maria has made a fantastic Christmas card for this weeks TicTacToe Challenge, using an Ivy embossing folder for the background, the cute Deer Maria die cut in Felt is hiding amongst those lovely die cut trees. Maria finished the card with a Swedish sentiment which translates to: Merry Christmas.

Michele

Michele didn't manage to get a challenge card put together this week but she has shared this amazing Christmas Pop-up Box.

Michele's card features Categories:  Trees/Christmas/Silver

Val

I have featured one of Val's older cards that works perfectly for this weeks Challenge, I wasn't sure if it was a technical error that I didn't receive your card Val or if you simply didn't get chance this week but I would have felt awful if you had gone to the trouble and I hadn't got it.

This particular card Val made following my Pleated Card Technique YouTube video from a couple of years ago!  I absolutely love your design and it deserves a second showing anyway!!

Val's card uses Categories: Christmas/Die Cut/Silver

Thank you so much Val for sharing this stunning card with us.

Thank you all so very much ladies, this blog would be nothing without all of you and your constant support.  I hope that some of you get as much out of being part of this blog as I do.  You really do keep me going, all of you!!

I am thinking about having a different kind of challenge this week, maybe a Shape Card challenge, making a different shape or style of card.  How do you all feel about that??  

If not I can do a Sketch Challenge, no problem.

Have a lovely Sunday Ladies,

Love and Hugs 

Sandra
