Kanban Design Team Call

Like the proverbial bad penny, I am back.  I decided to resurrect my neglected blog when I read one of my favourite companies was having a DT Call.  I've never applied to be on a design team before, but I thought Kanban might be a good place to start as it was a kanban kit that first got me into crafting.  That's got to be an omen - right?

So here is the card I'm hoping will impress :)

There are loads of tutorials online for making this style of card and it's actually much easier than it looks.  The papers and toppers are, of course, by Kanban and from there Well Wishes & Celebrations collections.

Details of the DT Call can be found on their fb page.

Another card I created using a nitwit digi pack and CAP.  This time though I printed everything, cut it out and matted and layered it.

fathers day card

This is the card I made for my son to give to his uncle for fathers day.
It is a little bit different for me as I created it using Craft Artist Pro and then printed it out.  I approached it just as I would when using physical stash and followed (and am entering) sketch #45 from Friday Sketch Challenge.  I have to admit I'm pretty pleased with the finished product.

#43 Friday Sketch Challenge

Magnolia images, coloured with copics and distress inks.  Papers are DIY Shop by Cratepaper, a recent purchase from TK Maxx and the sentiment is computer generated and heat embossed with gold EP.  I followed sketch #43 at Friday Sketch Challenge. :)

50th birthday

Once again, not the best picture in the world but I am pleased with this card.  I used a lot of my spellies on this design and the chandelier is cut from the home decor cart on the cricut.  The papers are DCWV Linen Closet, the flowers and corners are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I used a JustRite stamp on the front of the card (the pattern on the labels 20) and a Kanban stamp inside (the chandelier).

I'm entering this card into Papertake weekly Challenge - Bingo, and went with the bottom line using blooms, ribbon and gems.

Happy birthday matey

I'm really happy with the way this card turned out, although as usual my photography skills are letting me down.
I added an acetate cover to the front of the card and attached my LOTV stamp, computer generated sentiment, ribbon and bling - following this week's sketch at Friday Sketch Challenge. Behind that I used a Delicious Doodles digital stamp, which I printed onto a parchment type paper cut out and then had a good play with some distress inks and my distressing tool.  (I also added layers of dp on the back of the acetate to tidy it up a bit)
