Rudolph Card

Today's card is my weekly card for the Bah Humbug Challenge which this week is 'Reindeer'.  I have again used my Hampton Arts stamp (love this one)  'Rudolph' and stamped him up with silver ink and just rosied up his nose with a little bit of red ink.

I have embossed some white pearl card with my Swiss dots folder and matted onto silver mirri then cut out and punched snowflakes from the same card and just added a few gems from my stash.

Ice Skating Mimi

Blimey my card today seems to have taken all day to make.  Not because it was particularly hard but because of the light.  One minute it was too dark and I had to turn the lights on then the next the sun was shining and blinding me.  It's another Christmas card I'm afraid, and another for quite a few challenges.  The first challenge is A Gem of a Challenge which this week is a lovely sketch.

I have used the gorgeous stamp 'Ice Skating Mmi' and coloured with Promarkers.  The papers and sentiment are from Zoe Pearn again.  Sizzix snowflakes and gems, glamour dust and B&M snow.

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Sparkle and Shine
Lili of the Valley Challenge - Anything Goes

Bah Humbug Challenge 43 - Fancy Folds

Oh my goodness, this card seems to have taken me forever.  The challenge set by the Bah Humbug team this week is to use Fancy Folds.  Popped over to Splitcoast Stampers to see what tutorials  there were and found this one.  I do like it but don't think I'll be doing one again in a hurry.

I have used the gorgeous 'Snowy' stamp from Penny Black coloured with Promarkers.  The backing papers are a new download from Zoe Pearn available at Sweet Shoppe.   Punched snowflakes and gems.

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:

Sugar Nellie Shaker Card

Another quick card tonight.  I actually made it last night but was waiting for the glue to dry before taking a pic.  The challenge over at All Things Sugar Nellie on Paper Craft Planet is to make a Shaker Card.  Not having made one before I panicked a bit but once I got going I quite enjoyed it.

The image is Sugar Nellie 'Wrapped Up Girl' coloured with Promarkers.

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:
Creative Inspirations - Shake It
Cute Card Thursday - So Transparent

Penny Black meets Winter Wonderland meets ABC Challenge

My second card for today is another Christmas Card. I am entering this one into 3 challenges. The first is the Penny Black Saturday Challenge which is to use triangles or zig zags.  I have used this cute PB image coloured with Promarkers.

The second challenge I am entering is the ABC Christmas Challenge - V for vertical.  There are 2 sketches to choose from and they are asking you to put 2 more V's on your card.  My 2 words are Vellum and Vivacious.
The third and final challenge is the Winter Wonderland Challenge - Have a Mousey Christmas.

Not a Card

The challenge over on All Things Sugar Nellie this week is anything but a card.  In the past I have made these magnetic bookmarks and my daughter keeps asking me to make one for her friend Sam who is even more of a bookaholic than she is and that is hard to believe as my daughter is on first name terms with all the Manchester and Tameside librarians and has permanently got something either on order or waiting to be collected lol.  We can't go shopping without being dragged into bookshops and whenever we are on holiday she somehow manages to find all the little old fashioned shops.

I have used this cute 'Cheddar' image coloured with Promarkers and the papers are a free download from Zoe Pearn 'My Little Sunshine'.  The flowers are punched and gems added to the centres.  I have also punched the magnet flowers out of the little magnetic picture frames you can buy in Poundworld.  These are great for stopping the bookmark from falling out of the book like most bookmarks do.

Bah Humbug Challenge 41 - Elegance

The challenge over at Bah Humbug this week is Elegance.  Everyone has their own idea of what elegance means and to me an elegant card is a simple card without too much clutter.   I love this Whiff of Joy image and have always thought she looks very elegant.

Image - Willow with Lantern Whiff of Joy coloured with Promarkers.

I am also entering it into the Whiff of Joy Challenge - Distressing (if you look closely I have roughed up the edges with my stitch ripper).  Sketch is from Friday Sketchers.

Sugar Bowl Sketch Challenge

Most of the girls over on the All Things Sugar Nellie forum have joined in with this weeks Sugar Bowl Challenge, so feeling left out I have given it a go.  It looked very tricky at first but once I had got all the papers together it worked out fine, until I came to put the image on!!!  I found a great image and coloured it in to match the papers.  Feeling very proud of myself I went on the Sugar Nellie website to find out the name of the image and it wasn't there.  I then searched through all my favourites to discover it was a blooming Whiff of Joy.  Then had to quickly peel it off the front of the card and find another image that was suitable, and yes I did check it was a Sugar Nellie before I coloured her in lol.
