One final christmas card for 2008

This was the very last card i made for 2008 and i completely forgot to post it here so here it is.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

On the Penny Black Saturday challenge blog this week, we were given the challenge of making a sparkly card. Ideally fireworks related but i was a bit stumped on that one so i made a christmas card and put some glitter on the hat of the cat here.

Christmas cards finally finished

I've been busy this weekend making the last few christmas cards i had to do. I've stuck with square cards for work cards and Penny Black images. Only had about 45 to make which isn't many compared to most but i'm glared there all done now.

Card for challenge on Do Crafts forum

Loretta on the Do Crafts forum gave us this challenge last Monday. I made this although i went for a square card rather than a rectangle one. This is the layout,

And this is my card

Tilda autumn challenge card

Over on the DoCrafts forum at the moment there is a challenge to make a Tilda card with the theme of Halloween or autumn. You can use 3 colours (not including the skin), 2 buttons, brads or eyelets and 1 ribbon.

Here is my card.

OH's christmas card

Managed to make this yesterday for OH. It's an A5 size card. I've used DCWV christmas papers and gold mirri card for the matting. I've also used some DCWV adhesive ribbon down the right hand side. The brads were from a Hot Off The Press QVC set, Anitas peel offs and of course my ever faithful Penny Black images, this time a santa dog which i received in an image swap some time ago. I've coloured him in with watercolour pencils.

A little different

I'm a bit of a stamp fan and have so many that sometimes i can forget what i have and also what they look like stamped out. So, i have 2 A5 notebooks that i use to stamp all my images in so when i want to make a card i can have a quick flick through to see what would be ideal.

I had to buy the 2nd book quite recently and took the opportunity to decorate them both at the same time. I've gone for the oriental feel and seeing as i like red at the moment it seemed the right colour to chose. The papers are from the DCWV Orientals paper pack and the stamp i think is a Hero Arts one. I've then used my Cricut and some DCWV adhesive card for the word STAMPS using the stamped font.
