A Christmas Card

Here are some Christmas Cards I've made using the Stampin Up 'Contempo Christmas' set.  The stamps have a matching punch which I used to cut them out. I wanted to come up with something relatively easy so that I can sit down and do some mass production for my work colleagues.  I've tried two colours, Real Red and Marina Mist and I think they both work well.

I'd like to enter these into the following challenges:
Paper Crafting Journey - Anything Goes
Fun with Shapes & More - Maritim / blue-white and/or red-white
Alphabet Challenge - 2W, 1E, JFF - Week 2, O … only one colour + white

A new challenge starts today....

Well I have some great news!  There's a new challenge blog starting today which is dedicated to digistamps, Digi Galore, and I'm part of the Design Team.  The theme for the first challenge is 'Back to School' and here is my card.  I have used 'Easy as 123' which was a freebie from Meljens Designs.  The background papers are from my stash and I've coloured the image with Prismacolours.

Please pop over and join in with the first challenge at Digi Galore.  You'll find lots of fabulous ideas from my teammates.

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

A 'Sporty' card for my boss

I made this card for my boss's birthday.  It fit with the challenge at Cards for Men which is 'Sports plus sentiment'.  My boss supports Tranmere Rovers so I tried to match the colours of their away kit (Stampin Up - Rich Razzleberry & Baja Breeze).

The stamps are from a Papermania set and it was relatively simple from there.  Pop over to Cards for Men to see what the other DT members have   done and to get the full details of the challenge.

Here's my DT card for cards for men - although it's a little late.  The theme is Father's Day and our sponsor is Letraset.  You can find all the details over on the main post and lots of other ideas from my teamies.

The backing paper is from a Forever Friends pad which I've had for quite  a while and the cardstock is Stampin Up (Chocoalte Chip and Bashful Blue).  The base card and card candi are from Craftwork Cards.  The image is a Fizzy Moon stamp which I've coloured with promarkers.

Spring is in the air

Here is my card for Cards for Men, a little late, but here anyway.  The sponsor is Digi Doodle Shop and this image is Just Married.  I thought it would suit a Wedding Anniversary card just as much a Wedding so I made one for my husband.  He has seen it though, so I'll probably make another.

I changed the colour of the drawing in my art package because I wanted to leave it uncoloured.  I also made the sentiment font the same colour, so they look stamped but are personalised.  That's the beauty  and versatility of digi stamps.  I love 'em.

The cardstock is Stampin Up (Old Olive & Daffodil Delight), the candi is from Craftwork Cards and the backing paper is a freebie from a magazine.

Please take a look at the main post over on Cards for Men to get the full info on the sponsor and to see the other wonderful designs from the Design Team.  Hope you can enter and good luck.
