It’s a public holiday here in Australia and we have a cooler day than yesterday so I’m more than happy to get my craft on!

I stamped and coloured one of the birdies from Stampin Bella ‘Oddball Birds’ three times.

Next card is for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #177 – G is for Glitter.

I stamped the fairy and sentiment from Unity Stamps ‘WTF Fairy’. I used Stampin Up Shimmer white embossing powder and used Uniquely Creative gold and silver glimmer pens for the crown, wand and wings. The dress was coloured with my alcohol markers.

Lastly is a card for AAA Cards #182 – One Layer opt twist Silhouette.

I decided to create a sponged sunset background and then stamped and colour ed the Stampin Up ‘Gangs all Meer’.

Well, this month we have another challenge over at Christmas Craft Creations challenge blog to add ribbon or twine to your project.

I’m not a big ribbon user and I only use twine sparingly so my card reflects that. I used 3 Stampin Up stamp sets – Mountain Air, My Meadow and Snow Front for my card along with inks in Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and White.

Come join in our fun and add to your Christmas card stash. Visit the challenge blog to check out the inspiration the other CCCettes have made. Link up your card by 9th February 3am (Melbourne time) or 6pm (UK time).

I’ve been crafting along with some challenges these past few days before I go away with Miss K for a well deserved break.

First up is a card for the Paper Players # 522 and Colour Hues #9.

I just bought the Stampin Up Darling Donkeys stamp set and had to get colouring. I added my little guy over a die cut plaid background.

Next is a card for the Global Design Project #273.

These colours are so lovely and feminine. I used some Stampin Up DSP from the Paper Blooms pack which I had poke out from behind some embossed side panels and added the sentiment over the top.

Next is a card for Cardz 4 Galz #137 – more than 1 fold.

I made a tri-fold card using Stampin Up products – DSP Fine Art Floral, Golden Garden Acetate and Art Gallery stamp set.

Next is a card for Tuesday Morning Sketches #587 and The Spot #144.

I used Pretty Perrennials from Stampin Up to create my floral images. I opted for ribbon instead of a sentiment. I love how these flowers pop against the black and white DSPs.

Well, that’s it for today. Thanks for stopping by and looking. Enjoy your day.

Happy New Year everyone. I’m on leave at the moment and it’s raining cats and dogs outside so it’s a great chance for me to get my craft on.

First up is a card for:

• The Male Room Challenge #145 – Tartan & Plaid
• CRAFT Challenge #581 – Christmas the Last Stretch
• Merry Little Christmas #30 – January Anything Christmas Goes

I made a card with a kite fold element on the front. I’ve been trying different types of folds on cards lately and thought this was super fun. The DSP is from Stampin Up and the stamps are from Simon Says Stamp.

Next is a card for:

• Case this Sketch #402
• The Alphabet Challenge – T is for Traffic

I decided to make a tall slimline card and used the Pedal to the Metal stamp set from Stampin Up coloured with my Stampin Blends.

Next is a card for TGIF #297 – Colour Challenge.

I used a piece of DSP from Love Nicole ‘ Monochrome’ and a sentiment form Simon Says Stamp ‘Big Birthday Wishes’.

Next is a card for:

• Just Us Girls #565 – Hello
• Addicted to CAS #188 – Emboss

I made a simle card using Stampin Up’s Garden Wishes, where I gold embossed the flower head and then used the rectangle frame embossing folder.

Lastly is a card for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #175 – L is for Lewd Christmas.

I used the Beautiful Baubles stamp set from Stampin Up which I coloured with my Stampin Blends and added a sentiment I created on my computer.

Well that’s it for today. The rain has now stopped and being Melbourne, the sun is out! Thanks for stopping by for a look; enjoy the rest of your weekend.
