Your Challenge Cards

 

Good Morning Ladies,  

I hope that you are all enjoying your weekend, super relaxed here, which I am grateful for as next weekend we are travelling to Essex to help sort the rest of Mum's house, I am expecting it to be both physically and mentally stressful. 

Let's get to something that's brightens all of our Sundays......

Janet

Three beautiful cards from Janet for this weeks TicTacToe Challenge,  those papers are just stunning,  that last one is one of those images where you notice something new every time you look at it.

Janet's Description:

"All three of my CCs were made using STAMPERIA card and I used

BIRTHDAY/DESIGN PAPER/RIBBON WITH GOLD TRIM from the Challenge Grid.

Janet,  thank you so much for three amazing Challenge cards XXX

Michele had a really productive week in the Craft room, making some great cards for the hospital Chaplin to distribute which was such a lovely thought.  

Michele's Description:

" First one (get well) is embossing/designer paper/die cut shape. Second card is birthday/designer paper/ribbon."

Thanks so much for taking part in this weeks challenge,  I am so pleased that you had such a productive week in your craft room too XXX 

Brenda

Brenda has created a beautiful,  almost autumnal looking Birthday card for this weeks TicTacToe Challenge, I love the warm colours, they work so perfectly with Gold touches.  

Brenda's Description:

"Managed to make a challenge card the categories I have chosen are ..............Gold/Flowers/Birthday

I could also have chosen Ribbon or designer paper (if I could remember where I got this on from) and die cut. I used one of Sue Wilson’s Striplet dies, the flowers are from Hobbycraft I just made a small arrangement and them and tied them with ribbon"

Brenda thank you so much for such a beautiful Challenge card, I really appreciate you taking part XXX 

Karen

Two fantastic cards from Karen for this weeks TicTacToe Challenge.   One birthday and one Christmas card.  I love this new technique of yours Karen, printing the greeting and then adding a die cut for embellishment.  Great for any occasion and batch card making.  

The Christmas card you have made has such an incredible texture, I love the clean & simple design too. 

Karen's Description:

"Here’s a card for this week’s tic tac toe

Flower-Happy Birthday-Die cut

Serif background and unknown die 

It’s also a totally flat card which if I’d found the die sooner would have been for last week Fortunately it works for this week- just in case I don’t get around to making another.

2nd Card Embossing Folder/ Die cut/Something Gold

Thanks Karen for 2 fantastic Challenge cards XXX 

Sonia 

Sonia has made two beautiful Christmas cards for this weeks TicTacToe Challenge.   Sonia you are definitely our Queen of Kraft cards, I just love every Kraft card that you have designed.   I love what you have done with the SW die cut tree too.

Sonia's Description:

On the first card, I part embossed a piece of Kraft card (using a Sue Wilson folder) and went over the embossed area with a white ink pad. I attached a piece of ribbon to cover the edge of the embossing and added two die cut snowflakes. The stamped sentiment and die are from Reverse Confetti. I’ve used Embossing Folder/Ribbon/Die Cut Shape.
My second card uses one of my background pieces created using my Gel plate. I had the Sue Wilson Christmas tree die already prepared which has been inked with distress inks. I added a gold glitter card die cut star and glitter strip on the side. I’ve used Die Cut Shape/Bling/Something Gold.

Sonia thank you so much for two stunning Challenge cards XXX 

Lilian 

Lilian I love the Christmas card that you have designed for this weeks TicTacToe Challenge.  

The background that you have designed looks like a ready made decorative paper, I wouldn't guessed that you had used a Lavinia Stencil,  did you use Distress oxide? .  Your main image is lovely,  the Stampin Up tree is stamped beautifully and I love the baubles you have added.  What a lovely design 😍. 

Thank you so much for taking part my lovely,  despite feeling so rough, I hope that your dizziness stops quickly XXX.
