Tuesday Taggers Challenge

This week at TT the theme is TEXTURE. What else could I use for this, well I got some textured wall paper so out come wallpaper and used it for my tag and for background. My father-in-law asked for anniversary card and I had to think hard to come up with something new. I decided to make tri shutter card as I never made one and.

I have used:

Creative Expressions:Swirl&Butterfly stamps

From my stash:flower, bred,gems,

peel off (mounted on card), jump rings,

ribbon, Sakura glaze pen & gold embossing powder

The sentiment is from the Butterfly stamp set
I have stamped out one big and two small butterfly what I embossed in gold than coloured with my Shakura glaze pen.

On the right side I stamped my big swirl and embossed it in gold too and decorated it with my gems.

The peel offs been mounted on scrap card and used my jump rings to hang it from my card.

In the middle of the card I put a little booklet with a verse and a place to write.

High Hopes Challenge vs Tuesday Taggers

This week At High Hopes Challenge we had to do loads of dots and Tuesday Taggers this weeks theme is to make something for your best friend. I don't have many dotty paper so I punched out one paper and put it over the greenish glittery background so it shows through. Top of it used K&Co paper and used Miss Zoe from High Hopes.

I coloured her with my Tim Holtz inks:

-Scattered straw

-Fired bricks

-Vintage Photo

-Peeled paint

The sentiment is from Crafters Companion Flower CD

I created the them inside as well. Took me ages to stick the leftover dots lol but I think it's really effective

1. Sugar Nelly-Scattering Love
2. Sugar Nelly-Made with Love
3. I used my new Pro-Markers-Skin tone set
4. Tim Holtz inks-Scattered straw

Judy's sketch
I was a bit scared of using this stamp. I thought it'll be to difficult to colour it but it wasn't. I really enjoyed to use my Tim Holtz inks for the colouring, even my roses coloured with Tim Holtz ink. I stamped out "Made with Love" 3x and made it into leafs.

3 Challenge in 1

1. High Hopes Challenge: Stars &Stripes
2. Tuesday Teggers: Distressing
3. Sugar Nelly Challenge-Judy's Sketch & Sparkle

I just hope this will do for all those challenges. I'm not sure if I was supposed to use Sugar Nelly stamps or not for their challenge.

Anyway I used: Miss Zoe from High Hopes

Tim Holtz Inks: Scattered straw

Broken china

Fired bricks

Vintage Photo

Peeled paint

Used ribbon&peel off from stash

and

Impressabilities/Butterfly

For backing paper I used an old wrapping paper which got sparkly stars. Top of it I used my impressabilitie and used the Fired Brick ink. I painted Miss Zoe with my distress inks. I cut out of Miss Zoe a star shape. Coloured it in the same way and put it on the top with foam tape to raise it. The flower is one of my old die cut.

An other old card I made for in-laws

I made this card last year for mother is law's request. I never told her how much was to make a copy of the photos she gave me, but it was worth every penny. My father in law called me to thank for the card. I kept the whole thing very simple (or maybe not lol).

I have used one of Joanna Sheen's CD(sorry can't remember which one)

Do craft's rose stamp

Spirellie punch

One of the Glitter Girls embossing board

Black mirror board and ribbon from stash

I made an A5 card and for the front made 2 booklet what I stuck on opposite direction so opening faces each other. The top booklet is slightly bigger than the bottom one. The top booklet is the wedding photos, the bottom one is Rob's favorite pic of Kath and Kath's favorite pick of Rob and their 25Th anniversary (wasn't last year lol). I have used my spirellie punch to make a comment.

Inside an other booklet the front pic is how they look now days and inside got the verse on a fold down booklet.

Because I love this card so much and could not decide whitch pis to use I used all the pictures what Rob made me.

One of my favorite

I made this card few years ago. My father in law asked for a birthday card for my mother in law.

Took me ages to make this card. I had to make a template 1st. I used two A4 card. I folded it in half and with a mirror board I stucked it together bit of mating and layering and decoration and inside's middle section was ready. On the sides I put pockets and I made tags for the verse, an empty tag to write on & few little tags with sayings on it. I used Crafters Companion Flower CD.

Now the front. I used the same papers for matting and layering as inside.

I love quilling. Gives you stunning effect once you mastered the basic coils. Just give a go, doesn't need to be a difficult one just do a flower first and punch out a vase or flower pot and and just go with your instinct.

For a finishing touch I made butterflys. I did struggle with it but it was worth it
As you can see I tried to mirror the two side. More or less I did sussed

As you can see the inside is is a wardrobe. I wonder why lol

From the hangers Happy Birthday is hanging down and in the side pockets you can see the tags.

My washing powder box

I made this box for my 16 years old guest who's staying with us for 5 weeks. I thought it's a nice little welcome presie.

I'm sure loads of you using tablets washing powder. I kept the box and decorated it. Very easy!

Get some paper and tear it up. Get PVA glue and a brush and start to stick it on the box (just like you do paper mache). Once all sides done and dry time to decorate.

I used some flower fairies chipboard, flower fairies match it, Cute Companion mice, flower punches and ribbon from stash.

Top of the box
Side view where the card is open. I went one step further and to save time I made a wellcome card atteched to the box.

Front of the card where I put my guest's name DORI.

This is the back of the box which is the card in the same time. The topper is the match it by Princes Pinflair. They just brill.
