I am really enjoying all this lovely Christmas Season, the colours and 
the lovely music, old and new.
Well lets get to business before I loose signal again!

This  Months Technique Challenge across at SweetStamps.com 

Easel Card

Just a reminder that this challenge lasts until 14 January 2014

The monthly challenge at SweetStamps Challenges is focused on techniques and will run from the 15th of the current month to the 14 of the next month.

You have a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to spend on lovely nice 

goodies at the SweetStamps.com

You get an extra chance to win when you use a SweetStamps image on your creation.

**All of these techniques and more can be found on the TUTORIALS page of our website** 

Well here is my take on it!

I had a great time creating this easel card.  I just love Pink and Blue and some white!

I used textured white card for my main card, made my folds to create the base for my Easel Card.

After I completed my main image I layered it on Pink and Blue cards stock and then again on another white card.

I added it to the flap of my Easel Card

I just love these stamps! I created a Scene with the

Sweet Ginger Bread House and the Ginger Bread Boy and Girl Duo

I stamped them with memento ink and coloured it in with my 

Copics and Promarkers

Copics: 

B21, B23, B24, R81, R83 & R85

Promarkers:

March Hare & Tand

I used Blending Chalks to create the clouds

and around my picture to give it depth

As you can see in the picture bellow that the Ginger Bread Boy and Girl are freestanding,crating a 3D image. I made them each a extra bit to stand freely.

I added Blue and Pink string bows

to my Boy and Girl

They were part of my stopper for my top of my Easel Card.

This lovely sentiment is part of the Ginger Bread House Stamp Due

I used a Spellbinders plain circle and scalloped circle

I used Distressed Ink Spun Sugar around the edges of my sentiment 

I made these flowers

I layered every thing to mimic the top of my Easel Card 

I really enjoyed this project.

Simple Christmas

The theme for that challenge is 

Micro Beads

Well everybody here is my take on the Borders Challenge:

I made a 6 X 6 card

I love this color choice this time of the year!!

My main card is from a 300 grams red card stock from my stash

I stamped this lovely Poinsettia Corner stamp

4 times to form this lovely frame

I used Promarkers to color it in

Red Berry, Lipstick Red &

Pear Green 

I added Liquid Pearls in the center of my flowers

On the big Poinsettia in the corner I painted with 

a thin paintbrush over the leaves with H2o 

I used a Craft Blade to cut these delicate flowers just on the outside 

of the square out because I still wanted the center to remain for a base

for my main image

I used a lovely Marianne Design

and cut the frame out of the Green

Layered it all up

Added 4 Red Pearls to the corners

I die cut this love Poinsettia out of Parchment

Took a ball tool and gone around the edges and the center of each leave

I took H2o to get a bit of a glitter effect on the leaves and

then used a small brush to paint the leaves with 3D paint Stamp Paint

This is a new product from SweetStamps.com

Amazing stuff!

I used 3 sizes of plain circle Spellbinder dies and cut 1 in Green and 1 in Red and 1 in White

I added green String Beads in the center 

Then layered it on the Green, Red and White Circle

I let the leaves that I cut out with the Craft Blade lay over the White Circle

Well everybody here is my take on the Borders Challenge:

I used Pearl Card as my base card and created a card that just measured 

little bit smaller than  a A5 card

I used a fantastic Embossing folder called Tied Together

and embossed some of this lovely Pearl Card stock

I layered it with Silver Mirror card

I just love these dies from SweetStamps.com's

called SweetCuts.

They cut so perfect first time every time
I cut the corners, the toppers and the Doily from Mirror Card
I used a Spellbinder Plain Small Circle and used Pearl Card Stock
I layered all my layers

I finally used another die and cut the small doily out of Mirror Card

I took a bead embellishment and add a Pearl to the center

I took ribbon and weaved it through the Buckle Die

Used extra strong double sided tape and adhere to the back

of the Embossing layer

I added my Silver Pearl Embellishment I made to the Center
