Your Challenge Cards

My Challenge card

Michele's Challenge card

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

Well it's two weeks to Christmas eve today, can you believe that?! I know I can't!! We have done absolutely nothing this year, which is unheard of for us, we are usually so much more organised by this time.  But with the housing situation and Paul's job etc, Christmas kind of slipped down the list of priorities, I think that once we get this coming Friday's appointment out of the way, depending on the outcome, we can maybe think a bit clearer. (fingers, toes crossed).

Let's get on with the best part of today...... Your cards...........

Janet

Janet has designed and created 3 stunning birthday cards for this weeks challenge, using categories :Black/Gold/ Free (die cuts) on the first two and then categories : Black/gold/white on the third card, which Janet made using 4 pieces of pearlised card embossed with the Crafters Companion 3d Embossing folder, just look at the depth and detail they give, just incredible!

Absolutely stunning design Janet, thank you so much for taking part.

 Karen

Karen, I have to say I absolutely love this design, I'm not sure if its because it's such an unusual design for you or the fact that it is simply a stunning Christmas card, either way it blew me away.

Karen used the categories: Gold/Vellum/Heat embossing to create this amazing design. 

I think that the over all magic for me is that you are now......an accomplished STAMPER! I hope you feel that same buzz that I did when I finally 'got it' !!

Karen's description......

"I’ve used heat embossing (get me! Stamping!)+FREE+gold

I’ve used CE Christmas rose on cream card and vellum with matching Die and golden sunset Nuvo glitter drops
CE bright gold embossing powder and gold sand glitterbitz
Britannia Merry Christmas dies - embossed"

Thank you Karen.

 Lilian

Lilian, another 'wow' card from you this week, such an amazing design, having the snowflake hanging in the aperture is just a genius idea, its such a pretty snowflake too, the 'Softly Falling' embossing folder gives enough detail to the front of you card, framing the aperture makes it look so much more professional too.

Lilian used categories: Circle/Vellum/Heat embossing to create this amazing design.

Thank you so much Lilian for taking part.

Danielle 

Danielle designed this card earlier this week in different colours, although she didn't originally design it with the challenge in mind I suggested that she made a gold version, this is it, its absolutely stunning.  It used categories : Circle/Gold/Heat embossing.

Dannii, used the Petite Petals stamp to stamp the flowers and their matching punch, the Colourful Seasons Stamp set and matching dies, and layering circles for the aperture.

A gorgeous card Danielle, thank you so much for taking part in our challenge again this week.

Margaret

Margaret used categories : Gold/Twine/Free (Punch), to create this gorgeous Christmas card for her family over in Canada, I absolutely love that Gold,embossed card that you have used Margaret is stunning.  

Thank you for making time in your busy schedule to make a challenge card, you can tick another one off of your list now!

Brenda

Brenda has made a stunning birthday card for this weeks challenge using categories: Black/Gold/Twine.

Brenda has embossed a piece of black card with a Creative Expressions Embossing folder, then used gold mirror card to die cut some of Tim Holtz Wild Flower dies by Sizzix, the sentiment is a Sue Wilson die too, I think that this would be a fantastic man card Brenda, I love the design, the gold frame finishes the card perfectly.

Thank you for taking part my lovely.
