Woodware Challenge - Just one layer

This week is just one layer and this is a perfect idea for Christmas cards or cards where you need to make bulk.  Limiting the supplies means limiting the time too :)

I reached for these two adorable Stampendous stamps

Jumbo Snowfall and Magical Snowman

and of course lots of glitter glue too :)

Don't forget to follow the link in the tab above to see what the other DT are making.

Woodware Challenge - Spooks and Treats

This week its spooks and treats with Woodware and I decided to choose the treats and make this cute pail.

How I do usually try and use as much Woodware product as I can, however you can clearly see the

Martha "goo" punch around the top, it really needed something on the top and this seemed to fit the bill.

I have used the Francoise set Spooky Tots to stamp this adorable Dracula!

The Star punch is the "Green" sized punch

and you can not see it in this picture but I had stamped black bats onto the pail itself

This is an idea you could use with the kids to create their own trick or treat pail.  I know

my boys would love to make one!

Woodware Challenge - Its a sketch!

I like the sketches means the challenge theme is open to whatever you want to use.  This week however I have been so busy with "stuff" you know,  life stuff, work, kids, home, family.  It flew in by my knicker elastic! and just made the deadline for this. And if you think my cards are usually SIMPLE boy this one takes the biscuit, but sometimes thats about all that can happen, Life just dictates that.

This cute pair of kitties is called FORBES and FRIENDS and was drawn by the very lovely Jane Gill

The sketch in itself is quiet simple too.  You can see it on the Woodware Challenge blog HERE
Jane has done a beautiful flowery card worth looking at.

Till next time... soon I hope, just hoping all the "stuff" lets me :)

Woodware Challenge card - Something for the boys

Edited to add ** Opps bad blogger didn't post this when it was supposed to.  I am sorry about that!

Something for the boys this week and I decided to choose "William Wizard" stamp.  This an old design from Francoise but fab for those kids that love Harry Potter and the like.

Along with this stamp I used :
Woodware Star punch Yellow one, the Whoop De doo paper pad (I like this one don't I?) and of course lots of crystal stickles glue.

Woodware Design Team Sketch time

This week with Woodware its back to normal schedule and we have a sketch for you this week.

here is the sketch we followed

And here is my card.  I used the Francoise Spooky Tots set from the newest set of releases. I used an oval of card as a mask and brayered over two shades of purple.  When I pulled off the oval I coloured the main image.  Added stitching and the bats were my interpretation of the strip that was on the sketch.

Be sure to check out the rest of the DTs cards this week (link in tabs above)

Woodware Challenge - take 2 colours

So my initial plan was some sort of tealy blue and brown but then I found out the DT had liked this colour choice too.  I said to Darren what colours should I used and he sang "Black and Yellow" at me.  So here my card was born.  I had already chose the set I was going to use.  This cute little Birdie set from Stampendous.

Different shades of light black (grey) and lots of lovely sunny yellow too

I have made a tri fold card as I wanted to use both the main images and the lovely

sentiment too.

The papers are from the Lost in Paradise 8 x 8 collection

The stamp set is called Blockart Tweet Friends

and in the centre I used on of my fav new tools.  The Wonderful Woodware

Crafty Edger with the Scallop Shell edge.

A simple little happy card :)  Sure to put a smile on the face of the recipient.

On a side note about "Yellow"  just look at the difference in colour of my sons scrambled eggs

the other day!  The light was shop brought eggs and the BRIGHT YELLOW! are eggs from my

next door neighbours chickens.

Have a good day x

A touch of Pink Woodware Challenge

This weeks  challenge over at the Woodware Blog is a Touch of Pink and today I have gone all floral.

Materials I have used are :

Woodware Clear Magic JGS251 Gerbera
Woodware set Janes Script JGCL508
and lots of glitter glue.

I used a pink waterbased dye inkpad to stamp the two flowers on the the base card and used the waterbrush to make the outline run to give a soft colour inside.  I then stamped the flower onto a white piece of card with black ink and coloured with markers.  Next using the Janes Script stamp I placed a few of the stamps onto a acrylic block and randomly stamped the images out with a soft brown ink.  Finishing off by smothering with glitter glue and gems.

Be sure to check out the links to the side -----------------> for the other DT cards this week.

Woodware Challenge 3 - Its a sketch!

Its a sketch challenge this week and that leaves it wide open for choosing what we can use, I do have lots of Woodware and Stampendous so its hard to choose.

So above is the sketch, quiet a simple one to play with :)  As I said the hardest thing is choosing what to use.

And here is what I made. A fun bright birthday card for an 8 year old girl.  Of course colours and numbers can all be changed to make it something entirely different.

I used : 

STAMPENDOUS - CUPCAKE NUMBERS - CLEAR SET SSC178

CLOISONNE - 8 X 8 COLLECTION (36)- GCD347 

 and the peach circle punch to make my own domed circles to add on. Of course lashings of glitter too but that hasn't shown up on here.  

Remember to visit the Woodware Blog tomorrow for another card from another one of the DT.

Pop by tomorrow

For week 2 of the Woodware Challenges.  This week we are looking at "Cards for men".
