CES February's Guest Designer

On to my second week as a guest designer over at CES Challenges. This week the challenge is to create a card using the theme Cute n Cuddly.

I have used the North Pole Friends Stamp which is on sale at the moment at Crafty Emma's Store for an amazing price of £6.99. This is a bargain.

Here are my cards using this stamp set.

This card uses DCWV paper - Let is snow and Nestabilites.

This card uses a Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch along with DCWV Let it Snow Paper

This card uses the same stamp combined with Wild Rose Studio - Candy floss Paper

This card uses a snowflake embossing folder, nestabilities and Wild Rose Studio Candy Floss Paper

This card uses a swirl embossing folder using the debossed side.

I hope you like these.

Although this is a Christmas stamp set, I have used this to create birthday cards and the sentiments can be changed to anything you have in your stash.

CES February's Guest Designer

I was delighted to be asked to be the guest designer over at CES Challenges just prior to the new year. Not only is Emma a great person, she runs a fantastic online store. Her customer services are excellent. With every purchase in her online store you are sent some raffle tickets for a chance at every month to win a voucher to spend in her store.

I discovered her online store when I was flipping through a magazine and saw some gorgeous cards made. I already owned the stamps, but admired the paper which Emma had in stock.

The challenge at CES Challenges this week is a theme of Red and Romance.  For this month, if the item is in stock at Crafty Emma's Stores I will link it up to the store if you are interested to purchase the item in the Product used list at the bottom of each post. Just hover over the text and click on the text, it will take you to the store where the item is located. Here is my card:

LOL, only if i took a picture of every stage of this card, the papers, the different things I did along the way.

This card uses Wild Rose Studio Lily with letter stamp. I gave her a hair cut and chopped off her wings. On the panel with the image, I edged it with promarker. Then used a red fine pen = to add dots all the way around. Then I added glitter to all the layers on the edge to give it that extra touch. Then some gems.

The background is achieved using Papermania Bird Song - Trellis stamps. Ideal for creating your own backgrounds - that is why I probably purchased it and the V&A mini stamps.
