Playing with more challenges

We have a public holiday here in Melbourne for pre-AFL Grand Final day activities; so what else is a gal to do but get crafty with some more challenges of course!

My first card is for two challenges:

I had a snow globe die in my collection and I decided to make a shaker card. I die cut the globe from some white cardstock first and then added a gold layer on top, sponged some grass and sky on the background panel. I die cut Santa and his reindeer and put them inside the globe along with some gold seed beads, attached a sentiment to the front with some gold thread and my card was done.

Next up is a card for Colour INKspiration #152. I love these colours, they’re so classy together.

Some months ago I bought some masks from Stampin Up but hadn’t played with them till now. First I sponged the butterfly base in Starry Sky, then I sponged Night of Navy ontop with the floral mask. I sponged another floral mask on the card base in Gray Granite. The sentiment is from SU Special Moments’.

My third card is for TGIF Challenges #439.

I made my DSP the hero of this card, using the Stampin Up ‘ Gone Fishing’ DSP and matching stamp set.

My fourth card is for Merry Little Christmas Challenge #52. This is an ATG challenge which I love as I can let my creative juices take me where they go!

I used some more DSP from Stampin Up, this time from the Bright Bold & Merry collection. Lots of layers but the coordinations been done for me so the layers work well.

My last card is for a challenge I’m playing with for the first time – Retro Rubber Challenge #216.

I chose the centre horizontal options of pens/pencils, your choice and leaves. I used a stamp set from Stampin Up circa 2008 called ‘Oh so Lovely’ and chose the graphic panel stamp which I coloured with my Stampin Markers (pens) in Certainly Celery and stamped the image 3 times across my base. I then stamped the SSS ‘Beautiful Flowers’ across that green area (leaves on the flowers) and kept my card otherwise monochromatic (my choice).

Well that’s it for today. Thanks for stopping by for a look. Hope you’ve been inspired to get crafty and play along with these challenges.

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way. Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals. So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.
