Crafty Catz Challenge #344 ~ Anything Goes

Oops, so sorry I'm running a bit late today, got sidetracked over the past few days with a fabulous visit from my mum & dad and I forgot to shedule my post last night but I'm here now to tell you all about this weeks new challenge over at Crafty Catz.  This week it's everyone's favourite 'Anything Goes' and our host is our wonderful Nina and she gave the DT the twist of using Die cuts and/or punches.  Now remember the twist is for the DT but you are welcome to play along with it as well. We have a great sponsor this week too in the form of

DI'S DIGIS STAMPS

PRIZE.....$12 DOLLAR VOUCHER

This week I am sharing a project I made using mainly cuts on the Cricut. The card is cut from kraft cs using a die I bought recently then it is embossed with a clouds folder and I have added some gold gliding wax (need more practice with that stuff! lol) The hot air balloon and 18 are cut on the Cricut using brown and Kraft cs and paper from DCWV that is foiled.  Then made a little gift box again using the Cricut and Kraft cs and some more gilding wax.  Can't believe there was no colouring on this card! lol.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Catz Challenge #343 ~ Anything Goes

Good morning all, well here we are it's Friday so time for another fab challenge over at Crafty Catz and this time it's a nice easy 'Anything Goes' challenge and our wonderful teamie Donna gave the DT a twist of adding embossing, now remember you don't have to add the twist but we'd love it you did play along with us.  So we are sponsored this week by

STAR STAMPZ

PRIZE.....3 DIGI IMAGES FROM ESTY STORE

BLOG.....http://starstampz.blogspot.co.uk/

The DT were given some fabulous images from our generous sponsor to play along with and we all had great fun.  I have used the cute 'Cup of Cocoa'.  Now due to my thumb op I didn't get as ahead with my DT cards as I had hoped, so for this weeks project I have made a totally digital creation using Photoshop Elements, I haven't done much digi work for a while so this was a nice way to do some crafting!  So I put the background together then digitally paper pieced the cute image.  Papers are all from Bearly Mine Designs.  Used drop shadows between some of the layers.  Added some gems to the image and then used some stars elements which I digitally embossed, there are a couple of great embossing buttons in PS Elements.  Finished off with a sentiment now all is left is to print it off and stick it to a card.

Crafty Catz Challenge #342 ~ All Tied Up

Good morning all, time for a brand new challenge over at Crafty Catz and this week it's my turn to chose the theme and I have chosen 'All Tied Up' so you can use ribbons, twines, fibres or you could go with a wedding theme, the choice is yours.  We are sponsored this week by the wonderful

prize

For my card I have used a reindeer stamp which I have had for a while and I have heat embossed it with bronze powder.  I kept this card quite simple by just using white and red cs, I embossed the white background with a reindeer folder then I added some red ribbon with a metallic border and a few red gems.  This is one of the last cards I made before the operation on my thumb and I'm really missing being in my craft room creating :(  but its only 3 weeks post op so its early days yet.
