Gorjuss and Textural

Morning All.

Well it's Wednesday again, (I think they come round faster each week), so it's time for a new challenge over at Fab 'n' Funky.

This time the theme is.....

Make It Textural

So we would like to see plenty of texture on your cards. Our sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More who are a division of I Did It Creations. It was created and is owned by Robyn Weinrib. Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers, designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion.

I have used a Totally Gorjuss image on my card, which I have paper pieced, to allow me to add texture to the bear. One of the panels has been embossed using a Crafts Too embossing folder, and all the edges have been glitered to add dimension, sparkle and even more texture. Finally I have added some gems to finish off my creation.

I would like to enter ths card into the following challenges;

Create 4 Fun - sketch

Totally Papercrafts - friendship

Craft Your Passion - anything goes

and

Patties Creations - birthday for a mum

Thanks for looking, and I'll be back tomorrow.

Evening All.

Firstly can I say a huge thank you to everyone for all the beautiful birthday cards and pressies I have received - I am a very lucky lady.

Thank You Everyone

I have spent the weekend preparing cards ready for my upcoming classes. This one is ready for my paper piecing class, and I have used a Kanban set of stamps for the bear and outfit. The embossed background is formed using a new Crafts Too embossing folder. I hope the ladies will enjoy making it.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges;

Crafty Sentiments - a bear on a card

Thanks for looking and I'll see you all soon,

CRAFT Challenge GDT Member

What an exciting day it is today, I can finally tell everyone that I have been invited to be the Guest Designer for February at the C.R.A.F.T. challenge blog. I'd like to thank all the ladies there for inviting me to join them for the month - Thank You xx.

Their challenge this time is called...............In the Roll of a Die.

They would like to see you use die cuts on your creations. The sponsor for this challenge is Diecut Dreams, who are offering a "50 piece Valentines Die cut Cupcake kit, cut in yummy Romantic Red, Hot Candy Pink and Pure White quality card," as the prize.

I have used one of my favorite LOTV stamps on my GDT card. Then the image has been cut out using a Quickutz cookie cutter, before being mounted on a scallop circle, which was cut using my beloved nestabilities. The flourishes were cut using the Marianne D Creatables swirl, leaf die. Finally, the flowers were made using a new purchase - a Crealies Creative Flowers cutting die, which I have layered together to give a fuller effect.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges;

Crafty Catz - flowers

Totally Paper Crafts - one for the kiddies (how many of us have dressed up in Mums high heels)

Totally Gorjuss - as you like it

Stamptacular Sunday - whateva

My Time To Craft - flourishes

and

Papertake Weekly - anything goes + flower

I hope you like the card, and that you will pop on over to CRAFT, and join in the die cutting challenge.

Thanks for looking,
