Challenge time with the Crazy 4 challenges team.

For today's challenge, I want you to use your words. Please make the sentiment the focal point of your card. Whether you choose to use a large sentiment or maybe a die- cut some words/// whatever you decide, the words must be the focal point of your card.

Hello
It is challenge time with my friends on the CCEE stampers blog. I am continuing with this weeks challenge, I went looking for  tutorial ideas and found this one on splitcoast stampers on making a four way card.

Hi everyone,
It is challenge day with my friends on the CCEE blog, this month I am hostess and this is my challenge for this week.

According to the National calendar today is National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day 
It is a chronic disease that I have, it is often called the invisible disease because you don't look ill, there is no cure but maybe some day they will be. So Please make a Get Well card and add a purple ribbon.

 Recently I said farewell to a work colleague actually there were two girls leaving having worked together for 23 years, they decided to leave at the same time.
This card is custom made for my friend Janet's personal interests. Over the 11 years I have know her Janet has always been on some sort of diet. Her pet chickens are her pride and joy, I remember her saying once, after sharing a funny story " OMG I even sound like my chickens when I laugh" which set us off on another round of laughter. When I saw this Art Impressions stamp recently I knew I just had to make her a card.
I have used the Lorna label die from Elizabeth craft designs to make the centre of the card popup. The inside has another Art Impressions chicken stamp and text. I have also add some felt clouds.

Thanks for looking

Thanks for looking

 I cut the large paint chip samples smaller keeping the paint names in the corner and layered them along with spellbinder die hearts and punched letters.
 I scored the card to make a folder and attached the paint brush so it wouldn't fall out. Then using a black panel with punched edges I created a pocket for the gift card. And finished it off with a bow.
Supplies
Spellbinders heart die, letter punches; paint chip samples,Martha stewart punches, ribbon, DCWV card.

 Inside I used the MFT's well worn greetings die-namics

Just some quick thankyou cards for my Daughter's 21st in her favourite colours.

 I had so much fun creating this card after watching the video tutorial on Dawns Stamping Studio
 The front stamp is from Magenta. I made the flower using the spellbinders poinsetta die, I placed pearls in the centre and on the bottom corner.
 The ovals were cutout using nestabilites oval dies.

Today I am sharing a card with you that I made for the Boomerang Stampers List COTM Spring theme, I showed you my other entry yesterday. I was in total shock when I recieved an email to say that I had won, my card now graces the home page for the month of September.
I used the Penny Black stamp and coloured it with copics adding twinklette pen to the flower centres, then framed the image using spellbinders nestabilities. The flower was made with mft die-namics upsy-daisy die and finished with a button brad. The swirls are decorative swirls 3 from sizzix and the Designer paper is DCWV Citrus. I also used flower ribbon and paper piercing tool and mat around the top edges.

Ok for today's project I used 2 new items and 1 that I have only used once. I picked up this cute stamp and Designer paper last week when I went craft supply shopping with the girls from club. They must to be fairly new to Australia this is the first time I have seen them, they are from the a UK company Trimcraft the Fizzy Moon Celebrations range, they are so cute and I am looking forward to using the rest of the range. The nestabilities die is great for framing an image, I also used giltter on the flower centres to make them pop. This card is called a zigzag card and instructions can be found on Stampowl's Studio

Hello,
Todays card was made for my friend's daughter, who is leaving Australia to live in London. I have used My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch challenge MFTWSC9 for this layout.
I started by stamping the A'la Modes Image, coloured her and cut it out with nestibilities and sponged it while it was still in the die. To add some bling to the dress, wine glass and shoes, I used a glue pen and glitter.

I created this card so time ago but I have only just taken the photo, the challenge on CCEE was to used wood,CCEE1041. The sketch was from splitcoast stampers SSSC71. I used the sizzix embossing folder designed by Tim Holtz called Woodgrain and used a sponge block to add colour. The flower and dragonfly was stamped with adirondack ink and the words over stamped with black ink, it was then cut out with nestabilities circle, I then sponged the edges andused a destresser tool on the edges. I am not totally sure this technique is for me. A large brad was used for the centre of the fabric flowers.
