Planes, Trains & Automobiles

As promised, I'm back with some cards to show you. It's a busy day for me today so this may seem a bit rushed!
The challenge on CCT this week is......
"Planes, trains and automobiles...but of course, we wouldn't restrict you to just those vehicles, absolutely any mode of transport is allowed!....."
I think I may have got a bit carried away with this challenge as I've done three cards! I probably would have done more but time caught up with me. Anyway, when I looked at the finished cards, I realised I've made them in my favourite colours - red and teal/turquoise!! It wasn't intentional....it's just funny how I'm drawn to those colours. I must admit, it was a bit weird making Christmas cards in April.....must have been the snow at the weekend getting me in the mood!!



For this card, I used Pink Petticoat designs printed onto lightweight c.s., with the plain piece embossed with the Cuttlebug Snowflakes embossing folder. The image is Christmas Ride by Penny Black, coloured with Brushables with glamour dust added to Santa's beard, moustache and hat (doesn't show too well). The image was layered onto PP card and mirricard. Sentiment is computer generated, grosgrain ribbon is from Dovecraft, sticky gems are from Papermania and holly 3D sticker is also Papermania.



This card was made with Doodlebug c.s. and K & Co paper. The stamp is Snowboard Fluffles from Stampendous coloured with Sakura Souffle pen and glamour dust added to the spots on his snowboard, snowflakes and the bobble on his hat. Doodlebug rub-on stitches were used along with Doodlebug ric rac ribbon. The sentiment is computer generated and the snowflake brad is from my stash.


This card is a combination of the two colours. Wasn't sure about this one at first, but the more I look at it, the more I like it! Cardstock is Doodlebug/Bazzill with the small panel run through the Cuttlebug with the Spots and Dots embossing folder. Paper, or rather c.s. as it's quite thick, is from Sassafraslass. Image is courtesy of Jilli which I received in a PIF and I have coloured it with Sakura Souffle, Marvy and used some Sakura glaze over the red for a shine. The sentiment "Tres Chic" is from See D's. Flower is from Little Silver Hat and brads are from Michelle at The Card Grotto. (For some reason my links aren't working, sorry girls).

Must rush now as I'm due out in half an hour and nowhere near ready!!

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials.  I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so.  I would highly recommend it.

Chocolate Somethings

Friday again and Half Term has started! The boys finished school yesterday so hopefully, we've got a fun day together! The challenge on Stamp Something this week is chocolate - everybody's favourite! and there's one stamp I turn to when that word is mentioned. I've followed the sketch on Mojo Monday for this card. The image is from Penny Black and has been coloured with Promarkers. Cardstock is Bazzill Bling and papers are Doodlebug. Matted the image onto some c.s. which has been run through the Cuttlebug and threaded some ribbon through using SU slot punch. Finally added a brad from my stash . A big thank you to Jose for helping me with my images......love the way some of you girls have been putting a sneak peek at the top of your posts and Jose was nice enough (and clever enough) to explain how to do it. Hope you all have a great weekend.
