Halloween no 1

Here is the first of my Halloween cards for my grandsons.  I used black card stock and for the yellow checks I used paper from a 6 x 6" paper stack from We R Memory keepers, and the black paper and the little pigs along the bottom of the page are from The Curoisity Shoppe from Graphic 45, the die cutters are from Couture Victorian Rectangle where I used two different sizes, the central digi stamp is from " Free Digi stamps", and the Happy Haunting I typed on my computer.

Christmas Bouquet

I made this card also from the Vintage Christmas Special Cardmaking Made Easy Kit.   Instead of cutting the pointsettia's by hand I used my Big Shot and the Pointsettia cutting die from Marianne's Creatables. All the other pieces were in the kit.   Another card that I am happy with, I had lost my inspiration for Christmas cards and this kit has brought it back

easel card No 3

I made this card from a Card Making Kit that I bought, Cardmaking in Easy Steps, Vintage Christmas Special, 185 piece cardmaking kit.  This kit comes with all the pieces you need to make lovely Christmas cards.   This one is an easel card, paper toll style.  I quite like this one.

Easel card No 2.

I made this card as another practice card,   an  Easel Card that I made from the tutorials on Destination Art, I think it turned out ok.   I used Black card stock and used silver paper, heavy, from my hubbies medication it was the right size and texture to used the embossing folder Sizzex "Riveted Metal"   I used Tim Holtx On the edge die "Steampunk" and Movers and Shapers "Mini Gears Set", I stained the "Steampunk" gears with Kindy Glitz Silver and Gold Sparkles.   I also used a Clock and Birdcage from my stash.   As a stopper I used a silver vintage style key, also from my stash,  I am happy with this one, which can be used for many occasions.

easel card No 1

I made this card yesterday on Saturday the 8th Sept.2012, after seeing some easel cards and tutorial from Destination Art. and I used paper from the Bo Bunny Timepiece collection.  I used a Tim Holtz die "Iron Fence" and a Spellbinders Flourished Posts and Lamp also I used the Tim Holtz "Old Jalopy" die, which is one of my favourites, I used Ranger Distress pad, "Vintage Photo" to shade the wheels etc., I used silver paper embossed with Sizzex "Rivets" embossing folder tp make the front of the radiator and the door handles.   I used bronze buttons with the backs cut off for the stoppers on the bottom of the card.

I am entering this card into reasonable ribbon blogspot challenge no 55, and Simon says Stamp challenge "read all about it"   I made this card from white cardstock and used a couture cutting die for the Red spotted frame and the white frame, "victorian", the books and abble are a Cuttlebug cutting die and the butterflies are Martha Stewart punches and the rhinestones and pearls are Kaisercraft basics.

Non traditional colours

This card has been made for a Challenge no.25 on Christmas Stampin All Year Long, for a card made with non traditional colours.  It is a pretty pink image of an angel and small pink rhinestones on the corners, otherwise it is pretty plain, but I am happy with it.
