Lou's Card Creations

Hi Everyone

Its the beginning of February so start of a new month and the start of a new Crafters Companion Challenge Blog.  The theme is love is in the air and of course i had to chose my all time favourite SWALK image.

Ive used a topper from the SWALK Papercrafting CD Rom, and some Centura Card Snow White Silver.  I've used my  6x6 Embossalicious Flower Frenzy Folder and matted with , Coredinations card Nostalgia. Then to finish off i have made a couple of coredinations roses by hand with matching leaves and then added a small tag from the Diesire Scalloped Tag Die Cut set.
Hope you like it and go on pop over and enter into the competition.

Hi Everyone

Helloo and only one more sleep and i'm off to the NEC to spend four days colouring in fab Crafters Companion images with my Spectrum Noirs, ooooo how i love my job.  I will also be helping out with the stand in general too (but mostly I will be colouring).  So I thought I would share my latest tutorial posted on the Spectrum Noir blog this morning.

I have used my Spectrum Noirs to colour and the list of colours is over on the blog along with step by step piccies and instructions.  I have used an everyday mulberry wood image, called Love you and matted onto white card that has been embossed with my 6x6 embossalicious flower folder.  I have also used my members only two new diesire dies from Crafters Companion, fence and classical frame.  The sentiment is using a die from the scalloped  tag set.

Hope you like it and i hope to see a  lot of you lovely crafters at the NEC show, Birmingham.  Please say hello.

Hi Everyone

Well 3 posts in 3 days this is a rare event for me nowadays.   But i have another challenge card to share with you for the Craft Punked Blog Challenge and the them is Autumn/Fall.

I have used my 6x6 regal frame as the card inner and used papers from my heartfelt creations pack that Sara brought back from CHA.  I've used and 8x8" card base and matted onto plain black card.  Then my favourite flowers at the minute are made using my bitty blossom dies.  I love the contrast with the oranges, browns and blacks and it reminds me of fall..............

I think this may be my last post for a week as i have a demo at Frankies on Saturday, details  on the CC website   Then next week its the Craft show at the NEC,  Birmingham.  I will be there all four days - Thursday til sunday demoing spectrum noirs so if you are about then please pop along and say helloo.


Hope you like it.

Hi Everyone

This morning is time for another Craft Punked Blog Challenge and this week it is With Deepest Sympathy.  So i took a break from my colouring and made a card using coordination's  embossing folders and dies.

I have used Nostalgia coordination's, i just love this colour and i have used two shades.  Then i used the petite dots 6x6 folders from crafters Companion and the Ornamental  oval frame.  The flowers are made using a spellbinders flower die bitty blossom and the leaves are in the same pack too.


I just love the finished result.
Don't forget to pop over to the blog and take part.

Hope you like it.
