Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with optional twist of Embossing

Morning all

Hope you've all had a good week. This weeks challenge over at Crafty Catz is Anything Goes with the optional twist of Embossing. We are sponsored this week by Digital Papercraft who are offering our winner 3 images. 

My card this week was for Father's Day which was a couple of weekends ago now. 

I hope the close up images are better at showing the embossing for you all. The card is embossed with a Sizzix folder and the stars cut out using Sizzix Dies. The card base is bronze card and I mounted the embossed panel on that then added foam squares behind the smaller star and added the word Dad in the same bronze card and connected the whole card by putting stardust stickles on the smaller star and bronze stickles on the embossed base. I edge the whole card with black pen. 

That's it this week. Hope you all have a good weekend. Until next time, happy crafting! 

Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with Twist of Baby

Good Morning All, 

Are you enjoying the weather? everyone's craft rooms suitable for baking bread more than being creative? oh good! lol! don't get me wrong, I actually like the heat but sleeping? not really happening so I'm getting grouchy now.

Anyway, the end of the week means a new challenge and this week it's my turn to host and as always we have Anything Goes but the added twist if you want to play along is Baby 

We are sponsored this week by Di's Digi Stamps and they are offering our lucky winner a $12 voucher

The images I used this week are from Emily Peterson and can be found here

I coloured the images in promarkers - Cool Grey 1 and 2, Ruby, Red, Apple, Lime Green, Honeycomb, Pumpkin, Gold and Canary. 

All the papers are scraps and the die is one I found on ebay - not sure of the maker. I edged everything in Wink of Steller Glitter or White Gel and staggered the images using glue and foam pads

Hope you like it, until next time, happy crafting!  

Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with twist of Summertime

Hope you've all had a fab week of weather and those of you that got the long weekend had fun with family and/or friends. I was in work sadly so I missed out on the sunshine but that's the way it goes. 

This weeks challenge at Crafty Catz is sponsored by Crafty Ribbons who are offering our lucky winner a £10 voucher to the store

 

Our theme is, as always, Anything Goes with the optional twist of Summertime

Elements from a floral summer pack and papers from stash. 

That's it this week. Hope you have a good weekend. Until next time, happy crafting! 

Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with twist of CAS

Good Morning and welcome to another Friday Challenge at Crafty Catz. 

This week's challenge is, as always, Anything Goes but our optional twist is Clean and Simple - we are sponsored this week by Digital Papercraft who are offering our winner 3 images from their shop

My card this week features heat embossing and watercolours. I've always loved messing with watercolours but rarely do I mix the medias and use it on a card, but I thought it would make a really nice change to use my Stamping Up flowers to make a floral design for mother's day. I used a really old stamp for the sentiment (so old the label has come off and I have no idea who made it) and matted everything onto hammered cream and blue card stock from paperbox.

I hope you like the final effect. 

Until next time, happy crafting!

Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with twist of Metal

Greetings from Malawi! 

Only joking, I am in malawi but this is a scheduled post for the Crafty Catz challenge blog. I hope you're all raring to go on this weeks challenge and my fellow team mates will be round to see you all in my absence. That being said - don't forget to leave me a comment, so I can catch up on my return! 

This weeks challenge which is Anything Goes has the optional twist chosen by Jac of adding Metal to your design.  Our sponsors this week are the guys and girls over at Bugaboo who are offering the winner 4 images of their choice

My card this week has a retro kick as pop-up cards seem to be all the rage again these days so I thought I'd give it a go. 

The image is coloured with promarkers in Sandstone, Caramel, Honeycomb, Spice, Cinnamon, Terracotta, Oatmeal, Dusky Pink, Mustard, Pastel Yellow, Pumpkin, Ruby, Lime Zest, Meadow Green, Lime Green, Cool Grey 3, Duck Egg and Sky Blue

The card is all from stock from Paperbox, the mulicoloured thread is Anchor and the 'Made with Love' charm is from my box.

That's it for this week. Hope you're all going to join in the challenge and i'll see you all soon. Until next time, happy crafting!
