using sissix bigz embosslit

I really liked the backing paper from the last card so as I had been playing with my new bits from the post xmas sissix sale thought I'd put them together. The punched edge is using the ek success jewel edger punch. I'm not sure if it is a wedding cake or birthday cake but probably can be used for both or even for anniversary cards!

sweet stampin challenge 2

Well I am having another go at the above challenge and have used:

• K&Co paper and card
• EK Success jewel punch
• Martha Stewart punch waste
• white organza ribbon - coloured with Brilliance ink twilight
• Anita's cone flower stamp [using masking technique]
• Brilliance Ink Twilight
• Card candy
• pearl gems
• art glitter - not just on the card as everywhere I moved it followed!!]

Hope you like it.

WOW! woo hoo!

What a great suprise - I entered challenges this week for the first time and OMG I was placed in the top 3 on the Sweet Stamping Challenge  - I am so excited as they have asked 3 to be on their DT - can't wait to hear what is expected.

3rd challenge of the weekend

This is for the fantabulous cricut challenge - to use a cartridge you have neglected. Well I haven't used the Indie Art cartridge for about a year so thought I'd have a go. I couldn't get the words to the right size so used the Black letter for the lettering and paper from a collection I bought from costco nearly 2yrs ago and had never touched!! Iremember thinking I would use it straight away - I should have known better. I had to use a flash for the photo and it has bleached out the background paper a bit.

for Tiffany Doodles Challenge

Well as weather is grey and dull thought I'd try another challenge:

I have used:

• Vintage Coordinations card
• Kay & Co paper
• odd bit of ribbon
• nesties
• kanban stamps
• promarkers
• sakura glaze pen

Going in for challenges is certainly a good way of using stash!

new experience for me

I am entering my first challenge today with this card on the Sweet Stamping Challenge blog so here goes - I must say it has taken me longer than I thought to make the card but that is because my stash is not organised but a bit chaotic so takes a while to hunt down matching bits and bobs! Sorry forgot to add what I used:

K & Co paper

pearlescent cream card

pearlescent pink card

fiskars threading water punch

cream organza ribbon

card candy

promarkers

swiss dots cuttlebug folder

tattered rose distress ink

cocoa memento ink

Katy Sue stamp
