Your Challenge Cards

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

I was a little bit wary about setting the 'Embossing Folder' challenge this week as we had a Background challenge a couple weeks ago, but as usual you have all absolutely 'aced' the challenge, making some absolutely stunning cards.  

So without further ado.......lets get on with the show! 

Lilian 

Lilian has used her brand new 'Scripty' Embossing folder from Stampin up! for the white part of her card that beautiful paper works perfectly as it too has the script detail in the background I love the striking black foliage, it really sets the whole card off.

Thanks so much Lilian, I am so pleased you love your new SU goodies XXX

Michele 

Michele has created four amazing challenge cards using a variety of folders, I particularly love that first E.Folder, so different and very effective. Using that simple swirls Folder looks great on your nautical themed card, your freebie folder is great too, would be great for bubbles or 'under the sea' themed cards too. 

How fantastic that you can get already embossed card !! Such lovely colours too!

Thanks so much Michele for taking part in this weeks challenge XXX

My challenge cards. First card is a We R Memory Keepers 3D Embossing Folder. Second card is a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder-great for many occasions. Next 2 were made using a magazine freebie. Last card I cheated & used already embossed card!

Brenda

Two beautiful cards from Brenda for our challenge this week, the first uses a lovely 'Happy Birthday' Embossing folder, I love that Brenda has left the embossed detail to shine with just the simple floral arrangement as an embellishment.

Brenda's second card uses a beautiful embossing folder on Matt gold card, I love that the sentiment is in the same finish too.

Brenda's Description:

 The first one is an EF I bought for my sister from Hobbycraft and played with it before I gave it to her, love the simplicity of the happy birthday. Just added a few little flowers that I haven’t to have made, so a very simple card really.

The next one is Matt Gold I made it using a Couture creations EF called Super Plush and just added happy birthday

Thank you so much Brenda for taking part in this weeks challenge XXX

Karen

A beautiful card from Karen for this week's challenge, Karen has used Sue Wilson's Bed Of Roses Embossing Folder for the background of this gorgeous card, I love the colours you have used Karen.

Karen's Description:

Here’s a cc

I used SW’s Bed of Roses embossing folder and free dies from a magazine by Altenew 

I created the colours for roses on that crystal paper from That Crafty Place/Pink Frog, the sentiment is from the same magazine.

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

Janet

Janet has created three beautiful cards for this weeks challenge,  that embossing folder that you have used in your first card always looks amazing and I love how you have let the embossing speak for itself and used that beautiful Appliqué for embellishment.

You can't go wrong with wood effect embossing folder, great for 'Man Cards' 

I think that the last folder that you have used is stunning, what a beautiful card Janet.

Janet's Description:

My first  CC this week was made using A CRAFTER'S COMPANION EFOLDER.I  used TONIC mirror card for the backing.

For my second card this week I used an EFOLDER I bought years ago and unfortunately I have lost the packet it came in and so I don't know whose it is. I used Sheena Douglas 'Remember When' stamps for the feature.

For my last CC this week I used another CRAFTER'S COMPANION EFOLDER and coloured it with my pens.

Thank you so very much Janet for three stunning cards XXX

Sonia

Sonia, WOW, your challenge cards are just stunning, I love them all, your letterpress technique card has worked beautifully, the colours that you have used work so perfectly with your butterflies too.

Sonia's Description:

Here are my challenge cards.
First one using Kraft card with Sue Wilson’s Frosty Swirls embossing folder and a dotty one from my stash. I inked over them with moonlight white archival ink. The snowflakes and sentiment from my stash.
The second card was inspired by Jennifer Maguire's technique. Using an embossing folder from my stash. The centre part is inked with Victorian Velvet distress ink aswell as the butterfly. The sentiment is from LOTV.
The third card again uses a folder from my stash, I inked the inside with Tattered Rose distress ink before embossing. I added the die cut circles and butterfly and sentiment from LOTV.

Wow Maria I love your Embossing Folder Challenge cards, I particularly love the embossing folder you have used on your first card is amazing. 

Your second card is just adorable, I love your sentiment too!

Your third card is so lovely with the cute birds, I love those corners too!

2 x-mas cards and 1 for a friend who need to know I'm there for her

during some problems time.

On the first one I used the Season greetings EF, thin it was free from a mag.

and the background I used the Sheena D. Evergreen EF.

The second one is a funny Cow with his friend Mouse EF trying to do some

Ice skating and it doesn't go to well as we can see  

The third one is a small EF, think it was also free with a magazine once.

2 Birds on a branch, colour wash on EF and a frame.

Thank you so much Maria your challenge cards are amazing XXX
