World Cardmaking Day - The Challenges

[SamG]

See you've all been busy.

I've made 4 cards and George (age 4) has "helped" me make the spooky halloween house - we're waiting for some bits to dry on it.

Just a quick question, how am I going to upload 5 things when I'm only allowed 3 per day????

[tracygough]

Sam upload them to photobucket or your blog, then you can copy and paste the code directly onto this thread. It's only your gallery that has the three a day limit.

[SamG]

Good idea, why didn't I think of that??

[marion82]

why 3 per day?? i can upload as many as I like!!!

[marion82]

oh you mean gallery...yes...but you can attach them here with your message!

Here are the cards I've made so far:

Wednesday morning challenge - Creative Treasures - blooms, bling, ribbon

I decided to make a card with a bit of a difference, and get a jump on my Christmas cards:



Doodlebug ribbon, gems stuck onto the ribbon, Beadazzles, Stickles, stamping and flowers cut out of patterned paper

Wednesday afternoon - Happy Daze challenge.

Turquoise, brown, and something circular:



I used really old DCWV retro stack paper, glossy accented some handmade paper accents that my sister sent me last christmas, and used a Bazzill just the edge strip, and some buttons. The circular message is from Craftwork Cards - very handy if you want a quick message.

Sorry about the size of the cards, ladies - haven't learned how to attach a thumbnail like that!

Friday afternoon challenge - something glittery, recycled, and polka dots -


Let's see if that works.

I used some leftover photo paper and coloured it in with alcohol inks. I also cut a scalloped circle out of old photo paper, and gold embossed it as the message mat. My polka dot is the flower and loads of stickles.

Here's my Saturday morning Craft Superstore challenge - it's a bit bonkers!
I obviously used the colours from their logo-

aah, there we go!

Three colours and three edging strips (ribbon, card, and beading), but I also used brads, felt with stamping. I will try and have a go at the reindeer one, but I suspect that might be my lot!

They are all fab Ali, i especially like the purple Christmas one.

I've just made Tina's haunted house, as i didn't want to do everyone else's challenge and leave her out .
I cut the house by hand, (minus the fancy bits), then cut bits on my Cricut to decorate it. I added a battery tea-light inside too.

Wed aft challenge

Turquoise brown and something round.

The photo is sepia so I hope that is ok for brown.

beautiful cards Erika!! the buttons and the with love were made with embossing folders??

They are the Cutlebug border folders, which I don't make enough use off, so it seemed like an extra challenge to use them.

A Swiffer cloth is a disposable floor duster which you put on a sort of flat mop head. As I have only tiles and laminate, I use them a lot. The one use for the challenge is actually a cheaper version from Lidl. They are a non woven fabric and when cut into strips also make great bows.

For the rudolph challenge just finished it.

I found the template a friend gave me last year and decided to make her a card for this year as she also gave me the rudolph cut outs

[tracygough]

Beautiful projects Linda, that Christmas one is amazing and must have taken you ages to make.

and my two last challenges
Saturday Challenge: inspired by the logo and it's colors and used three same girls from sugar nellie stamps

and ofcourse Tina's challenge the little house o horror!!
Thank you for all the good challenges! good luck to everyone and congrats to all of us for creating such beautiful cards!
