Black friday something

This weeks challenge over at Stamp something was to include black in your creation.

I went very simple with this card using the cute little elephant from the Stampin up set Nursery Necessities.

Plainly Speaking

This weeks challenge over at Scrummy stash cafe is no patterned paper.

To add pattern to this little card I used my Stampin up polka dot background stamp, and some cute little buttons.

Let me know what you think.

Kwerner colour inspiration #32 (#15 if your me) take 2

I wasn't a hundred percent happy with my first attempt at Kristina's challenge so this is my second take on the colour inspiration.

The stamp set I used is Stampin up Nursery Necessities, and spot on jumbo wheel.

I stamped the big star, clear embossed it and cut it on, mounted on the sandy coloured piece of paper and cut it out again. I did the same with the smaller star.

The sentiment I stamped with Versa mark then embossed with white embossing powder.

Kwerner colour inspiration #32 (#15 if your me)

This weeks colour inspiration from Kristina gave me the opportunity to use my new Hello Kitty cartridges which had just arrived!!!! (so excited!)

Used the little love notes from Stampin up as the base card, and the Square Serif stamp set for the Hello, thought it was fitting! ;)

CCC #15 Sweets and cakes

This weeks challenge over at Cupcake craft challenges, was set by me!

I have just got the most fantastic paper stack from DCWV 'The Sweet matstack' I took my inspiration from this. So the challenge is sweets and cakes, you creation can be anything just has to feature sweets and cakes!

I made one of these treat holders (I'm lovin these as little gifts at the moment), i also made the little charms around the top, they are made out of Fimo after firing them I added glitter and lacquered them. They are something you can keep once you have eaten the sweets.

The paper at the bottom is from the DCWV stack.

Do check out the other DT members creations I really love what they have all done with this weeks challenge, take part if you can.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Kwerner colour inspiration #31 (#14 if your me)

This weeks colour inspiration colours from Kristina were another great selection of autumn colours. Close to cocoa, elegant eggplant, pumpkin pie, so saffron and whisper white.

I really enjoyed myself, I used the 'wild about you' set from stampin up. I stamped the lion 3 times, twice in close to cocoa and once in pumpkin pie, clear embossed them all then cut and layered them, and of course added googly eyes!

I then used my stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the little bird in elegant eggplant (from the same set) on his back, what a cute pair!

The little orange flower brads are from making memories have had them for a while and really wanted to use them but never found the card, they fitted this one well!

I retook my pictures today in the daylight, bit happier with them now, but as I said what can you do with the English winter!!

Kwerner colour inspiration #29 (#12 if your me)

Just a quick card today for the colour inspiration over at Kwerners blog I love this little penguin stamp so I stamped him, embossed him and then cut him out (I know black wasn't one of the colours!)

Really pretty autumn/ winter colours. Sorry the colours don't show up well in this picture, it is a miserable day here in the UK, so no outside pictures like I usually do.
