National Cardmaker Runner Up!

If you are a reader of any of the Immediate Media magazines such as Quick Cards, Cardmaking and Papercraft etc you may have seem little ol me!

I was luck to be chosen as a Runner Up in their National Cardmaking Competition. I am so excited as I received a voucher for £150 for Crafting.co.uk!

Here are the cards I entered:

I hope they provide some inspiration and would also like to congratulate my fellow competitors!

August Already

August already! Where do the months go? I have been playing with the stamps from the latest issue of Creative Stamping Magazine.

 They are very summery and sultery. I chose to stamp the butterfly and flowers onto black card with white embossing powder. I added colour using mica paints to give them a metallic sheen. The sentiment is part of s set from Quick Cards magazine.

Surprising what you can do with a few freebies!!

Challenges I am entering:

Crafting By Designs - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Mixed Media Card Challenge - Butterflies

For Dad

Now that Father's Day has been and gone I can share my card I made for my Dad. I was inspired to make it by the Stash Raiders article in Quick Cards Magazine. It was a great way to use all the different odd fonts I have kept in my crafty stash!

I am entering this into the following challenges :

Creative Creations Challenge - For You Dad

Lexi's Creations - Father's Day / Male Birthday 

Dream Valley Challenges - Father's Day / Male

Crafter's Cafe Challenge - Father of for a Male

Also had a great boost this morning. As a stall holder on The Supermums Craft Fair, my Thank You Card was pinned onto Pinterest. This morning I was so excited to see that Hobbycraft had repinned it in their own Thank You Teacher Board :)
